Pauls Cathedral notwithstanding he tugged hard to keep some he retired to his house at Watford before mention'd where exercising himself much in penitence and in observing the duties of the Church was at length reduced to such poverty that he was forced to sell all or most part of his Library to buy bread But that was not all for about that time he was so much troubled with a cancer in his neck and cheek that all he could get could not in the least cure it or satisfie that hunger which it caused Insomuch that being brought very low in body and purse he sent to Sir Rich. Browne who was elected Lord Mayor of Lond. in 1660. for relief and in his letter told him that he was brought to great want and poverty and that he was eaten up with a cancer in his neck and cheek I am saith he reduced to want a piece of bread as this bearer my son may better inform you but Sir mistake me not I do not beg I only acquaint you with my condition and do you what is fit c. To which Sir Richard made return and told the Doctor that Tho he was the prime cause and motive of his Rebellion against the late King by his preaching and violent persuasions yet if he would preach a Recantation sermon in S. Pauls Cathedral he would take care that he should never want so long as he lived But the reply made to it being this that he was not then in a capacity to do it Sir Richard rewarded him with 3 l. only Afterwards dying obscurely and in want was obscurely buried in the middle of the body of the Church at Watford before mentioned on the ninth day of June in sixteen hundred sixty and five About three weeks before his death he sent certain Common-prayer books to the publick Library at Oxon and in a spare leaf before the title of one of them he wrot this note following with his own hand dated at Watford 16 May 1665.

both express'd the greatness of their Founders and preserved the splendor of the Kingdom which might at the reformation have in some measure been kept up and converted to sundry pious uses Upon consideration thereof those Gent. declined it and pitch'd upon the Vault where K. Ed. 4. had been inter'd being on the north side of the Choire near the Altar that K. being one his late Maj. would oftentimes make honorable mention of and from whom his Maj. was lineally propagated That therefore induced Mr. Herbert to give order to N. Harrison and Hen. Jackson to have that Vault opened partly covered with a fair large stone of Touch raised within the Arch adjoyning having a range of iron bars gilt curiously cut according to Church work c. But as they were about this work some Noble-men came thither namely the Duke of Richmond the Marq. of Hertford the Earl of Lindsey and with them Dr. Juxon B. of London who had license from the Parliament to attend the Kings body to his grave Those Gent. therefore Herbert and Mildmay thinking fit to submit and leave the choice of the place of burial to those great persons they in like manner viewed the Tomb-house and the Choir and one of the Lords beating gently upon the Paâ—ement with his staff perceived a hollow sound and thereupon ordering the stones and earth to be removed they discovered a descent into a Vault where two Coffins were laid near one another the one very large of an antique form and the other little These they supposed to be the bodies of K. Hen. 8. and Qu. Jane Seymour his third wife as indeed they were The Velvet Palls that covered their Coffins seemed fresh tho they had laid there above 100 years The Lords agreeing that the Kings body should be in the said Vault inter'd being about the middle of the Choir over against the eleventh stall upon the Soveraigns side they gave order to have the Kings name and year he died cut in lead which whilst the Work-men were about the Lords went out and gave Puddifant the Sexton order to lock the Chappel door and not suffer any to stay therein till farther notice The Sexton did his best to clear the Chappel nevertheless Isaac the Sextons man said that a Foot Soldier had hid himself so as he was not discern'd and being greedy of prey crept into the Vault and cut so much of the Velvet Pall that covered the great body as he judged would hardly be missed and wimbled also a hole thro the said Coffin that was largest probably fancying that there was something well worth his adventure The Sexton at his opening the door espied the sacrilegious person who being searched a bone was found about him with which he said he would haâ—t a knife The Governour being therefore informed of he gave him his reward and the Lords and others present were convinc'd that a real body was in the said great Coffin which some before had scrupled The girdle or circumscription of capital letters of lead put about the Kings Coffin had only these words King Charles 1648. The Kings body was then brought from his Bed-chamber down into S. George's Hall whence after a little stay it was with a slow and solemn pace much sorrow in most faces being then discernable carried by Gentlemen of quality in mourning The Noblemen in mouring also held up the Pall and the Governour with several Gentlemen and Officers and Attendants came after It was then observed that at such time as the Kings body was brought out from S. George's Hall the sky was serene and clear but presently it began to snow and the snow fell so fast that by that time the corps came to the west end of the royal Chappel the black velvet Pall was all white the colour of innocency being thick covered over with snow The Body being by the Bearers set down near the place of burial the Bishop of London stood ready with the Service book in his hands to have performed his last duty to the K. his Master according to the order and form of burial of the Dead set forth in the book of Common Prayer which the Lords likewise desired but would not be suffer'd by Col.

I say what he hath published besides these things let others speak while I tell you that after he had sate in the said See without the exception of any and had behaved himself with great prudence and moderation was after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown deprived with five other Bishops for not swearing Allegiance and Supremacy to that Prince and his Queen JOHN PARRY sometimes of Trin. Coll. near Dublin afterwards Fell. of Jesus Coll. in this Univ was consecrated Bish of Ossory in Ireland on the death of Griff. Williams in the beginning of the year 1672 and died a little before the Nativity in sixteen hundred seventy and seven under which year you may see more among the Writers p. 448. In the said See succeeded his brother Ben. Parry as I am now about to tell you BENJAMIN PARRY sometimes of Trin. Coll. near Dublin afterwards of Jesus in this Univ and at length Fellow of Corp. Ch. was consecrated Bish of Ossory in Jan. 1677 and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hundred seventy and eight under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 462. In the said See succeeded Dr. Michael Ward as I have elsewhere told you RALPH BRIDEOAKE son of Rich. Brid by Cicely his wife dau of John Booth of Lancashire and he the son of another Richard of Adbaston was born as I have been informed at Chitham Hill near Manchester in the said County was admitted a Student in Brasn Coll. 15 Jul. 1630 aged 16 years took one degree in Arts and determining soon after his Disputations did so much please Dr. Pink Warden of New Coll then Vicechancellour of the Univ that he forthwith upon enquiry that his condition was mean made him a Pro-Chaplain of the said New Coll. In 1636 he among many others was actually created Mast of Arts by vertue of his Maj. Letters dated at Oxon he being then accounted a good Greecian and Poet But having nothing to keep up the degr of Master only his employment in the said Coll he became Curat of Wytham near Oxon for Dr. Joh. Brikenden sometimes of Magd. Coll and Corrector of the Press in Oxon. In which last employment hapning to correct a book of Dr. Tho Jackson President of C. C. Coll to whom he had often recess that Doctor had such an affection for him that upon the vacancy of the Free-school at Manchester founded by Bishop Hugh Oldham of which the President of the said Coll. for the time being is Patron he forthwith gave the government of it to him So that being soon after setled there he by his interest and great forwardness became Chaplain to the Earl of Derby whom and his family he much pleased And when Latham House in Lanc. belonging to the said Count was besieged by the Forces belonging to Parliament he was all the time in it and did good service When the Kings Cause declined he stuck close to the said family and managed as 't is said most of the Estate belonging to it In 1651 his Lord James Earl of Derby being engaged for K. Ch. 2. at Worcester fight and before he was after the loss of the day taken by the Parliamenteers in Cheshire Whereupon he being like to lose his life this his Chaplain Mr. Brideoake with others were desired to sollicit the Grandees at Westminster to save him and Will. Lenthall the Speaker of the House of Com. being much plyed by the said Chaplain with more than ordinary reason and application Lenthall thereupon when he saw nothing could save his Lords life finding him to be a man of parts and business made him his own proper Chaplain and soon after Preacher of the Rolls in Chancery lane Which act of his tho noble and generous yet he was clamour'd at and gained the ill will of divers members of Parliament for his entertaining openly and afterwards preferring a Malignant as they term'd him Soon after by Lenthall's endeavours he became Vicar of a Market Town in Oxfordshire called Witney where being setled he preached twice every Lords day and in the Evening catechised the Youth in his own house outvying in labour and vigilancy any of the godly Brethren in those parts He also by his Patron 's means got the Rectory of the said place which had been leased out to be annexed to the Vicaridge whereby it became one of the richest Rectories in Oxford Diocess and not long after he was made Minister of S. Bartholmew near the Royal Exchange in London where in holding forth preaching and laying about him in the Pulpit he equalled any of the holy Brethren of that City On the 14 of March 1659 he was appointed one of the Commissioners by Act of Parliament for the approbation and admission of Ministers of the Gospel after the Presbyterian mode but that Act soon after vanishing upon the approach of his Majesties restauration he by his unwearied diligence and application was made Chaplain to his Majesty installed Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. Thom. Howell B. of Bristow several years before dead on the 11 day of July and actually created Doct. of Div. in the beginning of Aug. following an 1660. About that time he became Rector of the rich Church of Standish in his native Country given formerly to him by the Earl of Derby but hindred from enjoying it by the Triers in Oliver's Reign between whom and him followed some controversie concerning that matter but how terminated I cannot tell
in a solemn chapter held by the Soveraign and certain of the Knights Companions of that most noble Order in the red room at Whitehall which Oath was administred to him by Seth Bishop of Salisbury Chancellour of the Garter one of the Officers of that order then kneeling on his Majesties left hand As to the exercise of his office of Norroy when he was Provincial K. of Armes for the northern parts of this Realm the books of his visitation of the several Counties under his charge remaining in the Coll. of Armes will sufficiently manifest his care therein as by taking exact notice of all collaterals viz. Uncles Aunts Brothers and Sisters in the descents there drawn Also by publickly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles of Esquire or Gentlemen without just right and truly registring the Armes of all such as could shew any justifiable right thereto His care also was manifested in defacing such Tablets of Armes as he found in any publick places which were fictitious and by pulling down several Atchievments commonly called Hatchments irregularly and against the law of Armes hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the precincts of his Province the particulars whereof are expressed in that large book in the Office or Coll. of Armes covered with russet leather and called the Earl Marshalls book Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office he commenced a sute at the common law against one Randal Holme a Painter of the City of Chester who had boldly invaded the office of him the said Norroy by preparing Atchievments for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton in the County of Lancaster Kt and giving directions for a formal proceeding at the solemnity thereof whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme at the general Assizes held at Stafford in March an 1667 and recovered good damages with costs of suit The titles of such books touched on before which are published under Sir Will.

Oswald in Ridale in Yorkshire being the house and possessions of his Mothers Father but whether he was ever educated in any University I could never learn This Person who had a natural propensity to Histories and Antiquities began early to make collections of them especially such that related to Yorkshire and afterwards was much encouraged in his labours by Sir Thomas afterwards Lord Fairfax who for several years allowed him a pension He was a Person of wonderful industry but less judgment was always collecting and transcribing but never published any thing He died in the month of August 1654 and was buried in the Church of Rufford in Lancashire After his death the said Lord Fairfax took into his possession not only all the old Mss which he had obtained from several hands but also all his proper collections which he had written from Mss Leigher books evidences in the Tower at York in the custody of many Gentlemen not only in Yorkshire but other northern Counties as also his collections of monumental and fenestral inscriptions c. which being done he communicated them to Dr. Nat. Johnston a Physit of Yorkshire with hopes that he would extract from them and make and compleat a book of Antiquities of the West Riding of Yorkshire which he hath not yet done being as I have been informed weary of the work When the said Lord Fairfax died he bequeathed the said old Mss and collections which last amounted to 122 volumes at least to the publick Library in Oxon but were not conveyed thither till June 1673 which being then a wet season most of them took wet and had it not been for the author of this book who with much ado obtained leave of the then Vicechancellour to have them conveyed into the muniment room in the School-Tower purposely to dry them on the leads adjoyning which cost him a months time to do it they had been utterly spoiled The other books that Sir William Dugdale hath published are there 3 The Antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated from records leiger-books manuscripts charters evidences tombes and armes Beautified with maps prospects and portraictures Lond. 1656. fol.

The most Loyal Sir Franc. Wortley hath an Elegy on him in his Characters and Elegies which being just and deservedly spoken of him I shall refer the Reader to it but the book I doubt is scarce to be seen or had This most noble Count Pierpont was Father to Henry Marq. of Dorchester born at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire an 1606 educated for some time in Eman. Coll. in Cambr and afterwards was a hard Student for 10 or 12 hours every day Upon the breaking out of the Civil War in 1642 he adhered to his Majesty was with him at Oxon after the battel at Edghill and had a degree confer'd on him or at least was incorporated tho neglected to be registred by the common scribe of the University He was then esteemed a learned man as being well read in the Fathers Schoolmen Casuists the Civil and Can.

Decemb. 1680 whereupon his body after it had laid in state for some time was conveyed to his antient Seat called Holme-Pierpont in Nottinghamshire where it was buried in the Church of that place among the sepulchers of his name and family Soon after was published an Elegy on this noble and generous Marquess by John Crouch sometimes his domestick servant which being too large for this place shall be now omitted Rob. Dormer Earl of Caernarvan was actually created at the same time Nov. 1 This most loyal Count who was Mercurio magnus sed Marti major was kill'd the next year at Newbury fight and soon after had an Elegy made on him by Sir Francis Wortley before mention'd which is printed among his Characters and Elegies His body was for the present deposited in Jesus Coll.

He died at Castle-Ashby in Northamptonshire 15 Dec. 1681 and was buried in a Vault by his Ancestors under the Church of Compton Winniate commonly called Compton in the hole in Warwickshire He had a younger brother named Sir Charles Compton a most valiant person and one that had done his Maj. great service in the said Rebellion He died in the latter end of Nov. 1661 being then a Parl. man for the Town of Northampton and was buried at Sywell in Northamptonshire Robert Lord Rich.

These two last were created the same day or at least were allowed their degrees when they would please to call for them but whether they were educated in Ch.

Hodges to be Rector of Kensington near London before the rebellion broke out a Preacher sometimes before the Long Parliament one of the Ass of Divines and a Covenantier After his Majesties restauration he became Rector of S.

Hodges I find who was Rector of Soulderne near Deddington in Oxfordshire and Bach. of Divinity not of this University but of that of Cambridge and afterwards one of the Chaplains of Allsouls Coll in the time of Oliver which he kept with his Rectory This person who was also a zealous Presbyterian was born at Oundle in Northamptonshire first admitted into Emanuel Coll and thence taken and made Fellow of that of S. John the Evangelist the Master and Society of which presented him to the Rectory of Soulderne before mention'd When the Act of Uniformity came out he prevailed so much with the said Society that they nominated his friend to be his Successor viz. one Will. Twyne Fellow of the said Coll and then Hodges leaving the place he retired to Okingham in Berks and became Chaplain to the Hospital there where he died and was buried about the month of January 1688 as I have been informed from Soulderne The said Mr. Hodges hath written 1 A Treatise concerning Prayer containing particularly an Apology for the Lords Supper Lond. 1656. in tw 2 A Scripture Catechisme towards the confutation of sundry errours of the present times Lond. 1658. oct Besides which two things he hath also several Sermons extant as 1 The hoary head crowned a fun serm on Prov. 16.31 2 The creatures goodness as they came out of Gods hands and the good mans mercy to the brute creatures c in two sermons printed twice at least 3 A cordial against the fear of death preached before the University of Oxon on Heb. 2.15 Oxon. 1659. qu. and one two or more which I have not yet seen This Thomas Hodges tho he lived in Oxon several years yet he was neither incorporated or took any degree in Divinity Dec. 20.

He was born in the antient borough of Shrewsbury educated in the Kings School there transplanted thence to St. Johns Coll. in the said University where he took the degrees in Arts and afterwards adhering to the cause of his Majesty retired to Oxon to attend and preached sometimes before him there When his Majesties cause declined he suffered as other Royallists did attended his Son in his adverse fortune while he himself endured great misery After the return of K. Ch. 2. he became Rector of a Church in Essex Finchingfield I think to settle the inhabitants thereof in loyal principles and to undo and invalidate the doctrine which that most notorious Independent Steph. Marshall had instil'd into them In 1665 he was promoted to the Episcopal See of Clonfort and Kilmacogh in Ireland to which being consecrated at Titam on the 16. of Apr. the same year sate there for some time and was held in great veneration for his admirable way Of preaching and exemplary life and conversation Among several things that he hath extant are these 1 Eulogia The Parents blessing their Children and the Children begging on their knees their Parents blessings are pious actions warrantable by the word of God and practiced by Gods saints and servants Lond. 1661. c. oct 2 Eudoxia A module of private prayers or occasional helps in retired devotions Printed with the former book 3 Loyalty amongst Rebels the true Royallist c.

After his Majesties restauration the Author Dr. Walton presented his said six vol. of Bib. Polyg to which being well received by him he not only made him his Chaplain in ordinary but for his great Vertues Learning Loyalty Sufferings and indefatigable industry for the public benefit of Learning did advance him to the See of Chester to which being consecrated in the Abbey Church of S. Peter in Westminster on the second day of December an 1660 sate there tho a little while to the time of his death In Sept. 1661 he with a good retinue went to take possession of his See and when he came to Lichfield many persons of very good worth who had ridden from Chester to that City which is 50 miles did meet and congratulate him there and very many others in his way thence to Chester On the tenth day of the said month all the Gentry almost of the whole County of Chester and the Militia both of Country and City went out to meet him and the day following the spiritual Militia the true Sons of the Church of England went to their reverend Diocesan upon the road All which and others having brought him to his Pallace with the loud acclamations of thousands of people blessing God for so happy a sight he forthwith put on his Episcopal robes and hasted to the performance of his devotions in the Choire When he entred the body of the Cathedral Church Dr. Hen. Bridgman the Dean and all the members of the Cathedral habited in their Albes received a blessing from his Lordship sung Te Deum and so compassing the Choir in manner of procession conveyed him to his chair This was on the eleventh of the said month of Sept. a day not to be forgotten by all the true Sons of the Church of England tho curs'd then in private by the most rascally faction and crop-ear'd whelps of those parts who did their endeavours to make it a maygame and a piece of foppery After his Lordship had made some continuance there and was highly caress'd and entertained by noble and generous spirits he return'd to London fell sick and died in his house in Aldersgate-street on the 29 of Nov. an 1661 to the great reluctancy of all learned and loyal persons On the 5 of Dec. following he was buried in the south side of the Cathedral Church of S. Paul of which he was Prebend opposite to the monument of Sir Christopher Hatton sometimes Lord Chancellour of England being then attended to his grave by three Heralds of Armes in their formalities Soon after was a noble monument put over his grave with a large inscription thereon running thus Manet heic novissimam c. Here awaiteth the sound of the last trump Brian Walton Lord Bishop of Chester Reader look for no farther epitaph on him whose very name was epitaph enough Nevertheless if thou lookest for a larger and louder one consult the vocal oracles of his fame and not of this dumb marble For let me inform thee if it be not a shame to be ignorant this was he that with the first brought succour and assistance to the true Church sick and fainting under the sad pressure of persecution This was he that fairly wiped of those foul and contumelious aspersions cast upon her pure and spotless innocence by those illiterate and Clergy-trampling Schismaticks This was he that brought more light and lustre to the true reformed Church here establish'd whilst maugre the malice of those hellish Machinators he with more earnest zeal and indefatigable labour than any carried on and promoted the printing of that great Bible in so many Languages So that the Old and New Testament may well be his monument which he erected with no small expence of his own Therefore he little needs the pageantry of pompous titles emblazoned or displayed in Heralds books whose name is written in the book of life He died on S. Andrews Eve in the 62 year of his age in the first year of his consecration and in the year of our Lord God 1661. This worthy person Dr. Walton hath written besides Bibl.

Clement Danes within the Liberty of Westminster of which being sequestred by the violent and restless Presbyterians because of his Orthodox principles as also plundered of his goods and forced to fly for his own security retired at length to Oxon where for a time he exercised his function After his Majesties return in 1660 he was restored to what he had lost and lived several years after in a quiet repose Aug. 26. William Brough D. of D. of the said University He had been educated in Christs Coll. there was afterwards Rector of
dignified with the Deanery of Durham which he held a few months and afterwards of S. Pauls which he enjoyed three years tho either of them too short a season yet discharged both with singular care and fidelity living and dying a Batchellour and strictly chast and sanctimonious both in soul and body And being much debilirated by a long and lingring consumption here he rests in the Lord and deposits his last remains among those ruinous ones of S. Pauls Church being confident of the resurrection both of the one and other He died in the 53 year of his age and of our Lord 1664. Reader if thou desirest to know more of this reverend Church-man go home and learn by the conspicuous copy of his sincere devotion what it is to be a true Christian indeed After his death succeeded in the Deanery of S.

Colonel Will. Leighton who hath this character given of him in the publick register fide fortitudine pro Principe pro Patria insignis was actually created with due solemnity on that day in Convocation He was descended from or at least near of kin to Sir Will.

See more of him in the first vol. p. 342. Nov. 28. Sir Thomas Gemham Kt sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll. in this University now Governour of the Garrison of Oxford was actually created in the House of Convocation with very great solemnity At which time the Vicechancellour spoke a short and pithy speech to the assembly before he was presented shewing to them the holiness of his life and conversation the invincibleness of him and his party at York and Carlile of which Cities he was successively Governour and tho brought to famine and pestilence yet yielded neither but upon honourable conditions c. This right valiant and prudent commander was the Son of Sir Hen. Glemham of Little Glemham in Suffolk Kt by Anne his Wife eldest Daugh of Sir Thomas Sackvile Knight Earl of Dorset and after he had thrown off his gown betook himself to the German Wars then the great nursery for English Gentlemen where gaining much experience was made fit for the service in the Wars at home In 1639 he was a Lieutenant Col. in the regiment of the Earl of Arundell in the Scotch expedition then undertaken as also in the next if I am not mistaken that was took in the year following Afterwards taking part with his Majesty against his rebellious Subjects in England did him admirable service in the Garrisons before mention'd and was highly venerated by all military Men. When he died I cannot justly say sure I am that by his last Will and Test dated 22. Jan. 1647 and proved 13 Mar. 1649 he appointed his younger Brother Dr. Hen. Glemham his Executor who caused his body to be buried at Little Glemham before mention'd as I have been enformed by some of his relations Doct. of Phys May 6.

Edward Buckoake Bach. of Phys was created Doctor by vertue of the Chancellours letters which say that his Majesty hath thought him worthy to serve his Highness Prince Charles in the place of Physitian and therefore that he might be the more capable of that honour he desires that the Convocation would confer on him the honour of Doctor of Physick c. He was afterwards a Physitian of some note in Yorkshire Doct. of Div. July 10. Edward Aylmer or Elmer M. A. of Queens Coll. in Cambridge was created D. D. by vertue of the Letters from the Chanc. of the University and Prince Rupert This person who was Grandson to John Aylmer or Elmer sometimes Bishop of London being forced from his station by the barbarities of the Presbyterians took refuge in Oxon and under the said Prince He had a kinsman named Joh. Aylmer Rector of Bletneso and Melchbourne in Bedfordshire before the Civil Wars broke out who was Son of Tobell the fifth Son of the said Bishop Aylmer Dec. 17.

Botolphs and forced to fly by the faction he took sanctuary at Oxon lived afterwards in a retired condition till his Majesties return at which time being restored to what he had lost lived for some time in a quiet and sedate repose At length paying his last debt to nature on the 4 of March 1666 was buried at Langley in Bucks where he had a Sister married to Sir Rich. Hobart Besides this Ph. King I find another of Cambr. who was incorporated M.
authority do when he is possest by knaves Miserable man His foolery did so long wait upon Cromwells and Iretons knavery that it was not safe for him then to see his folly and throw by his cap with a bell and his bable Elsewhere he speaks of his ill breeding and churlishness of his being a Cypher or Prepositor in the Free-school called the Army while Cromwell was Head-master and Ireton Vsher c. that he was a stalking horse a Brute c. and indeed his Majesty K. Ch. 1. doth once at least in his works stile him the brutish General as being a person not fit to hearken to reason When the War was terminated and no enemy either in Field or Garrison left he went to London in Nov. 1646 where he was in a most high manner joyed and caressed by the Citizens of London and Parliament for the great service he had done for the Commonwealth and nothing was thought too good or great for him After his Majesty was taken away from Holdenby and conveyed to Childerley Newmarket c. he expressed himself civil to him as he did afterwards at Hampton-court but then having no pious frauds in him or dissimulation for a good end he did not or could not endeavour as being no politician to countermand the diabolical designs of Cromwell and the hellish crew He did not endeavour to repell or hinder the Remonstrance of the Army the purging of the House of Commons of its chief members the Agreement of the People c. but was lull'd on in a kind of stupidity 'T is true that before the King was beheaded in order to whose trial he was nominated the chief Judge but did not sit he did use his power and interest to have the execution defer'd for some days forbearing his coming among the Officers and did fully resolve with his own Regiment to prevent the execution or have it defer'd till he could make a party in the Army to second his design But behold his policy all the morning of that day on which the King was beheaded and the time when he was beheaded he was with certain Officers of the Army at Prayer or in discourse or both in Maj. Tho. Harrisons apartment in Whitehall being a room at the hither end of that Gallery looking towards the Privy-garden and knew nothing of it as it doth appear by this passage When his Majesty was beheaded on a Scaffold joyning to the Banquetting-house at Whitehall and his Corps thereupon immediatly coffin'd and covered with a black velvet Pall Bishop Juxon who attended him on the Scaffold and Thomas Herbert the only Groom of his Bedchamber that was then left did go with the said Corps to the Back-stairs to have it embalm'd and Mr. Herbert after the body had been deposited meeting with Fairfax the General Fairfax asked him how the King did whereupon Herbert looking very strangely upon him he told him that the King was beheaded at which he seem'd much surpriz'd Afterwards Herbert walking farther in the Gallery with the said Bishop they were met by another great Commander named Ol. Cromwell who knew what had lately past for he told them unasked that they should have orders for the Kings burial speedily as I have been informed by the Letters of the said Thomas Herbert In little more than a fortnight after viz. Feb. 14. an 1648. General Fairfax was elected one of the Council of State consisting of 30 persons and soon after when K. Ch. 2. ship'd himself near the Hague in Holland to go to Scotland there to be invested in his right he laid down his Commission as General being influenc'd thereunto by certain Presbyterian Ministers because he would not engage against him whereupon Cromwell was made General in his place and how he afterwards acted against that King especially when he went into England to obtain his right all Histories will tell you Afterwards the Lord Fairfax retired to his Seat in Yorkshire lived there mostly during the Reign of Oliver was ready to rise with the people of his County to assist Sir George Booth in Cheshire if any ways successful and soon after did not only appear in the head of a great party when the forces belonging to Col. Jo. Lambert began to desert him when they were about to fight Gen. Monke at what time he was coming into Engl. from Scot. to restore the Rump but declared with his party in Decemb. 1659 against illegal taxes and free-quarter as also for the freedom of a Parliament as it was in the year 1648. On the 2. Jan. 1659 the Rump Parliament then sitting he was by them appointed one of the Council of State and in Apr. following being elected the first Knight for the County of York to serve in that Parliament which began at Westminster on the 25 of the said month he was by the members thereof appointed one of those 12 Commons to go with those persons appointed by the House of Lords to attend on his Majesty in Holland for the greater solemnity and luster of his Court there On the 16 of May following they were there with his Majesty at the Hague where Fairfax drew upon him the curiosity and eyeâ— of all men as known to them by name to have been Captain General of the Parliament Army And when the first ceremony was past he desired as 't is said to see the King in private and to ask him pardon for the past offences which accordingly he did with all submission After the said Parliament was dissolv'd he retired to his seat lived retiredly and dying there was buried in an Isle joyning on the south side to the Chancel of Bilborough or Bilburgh near York Over his grave was soon after pur this Epitaph Here lye the bodies of the right honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax of Denton Baron of Camerone who died Novemb. the 12 an 1671 in the sixtieth year of his age And of Anne his Wife Daughter and Coheir of Horatio Lord Vere Baron of Tilbury He had Issue Mary Duchess of Buckingham and Elizabeth Under this Lord Fairfax his name were published while he bore armes for the Parliament especially when General Many Letters of which most were to the Speaker of the House of Commons some Relations concerning skirmishes battles taking of Castles Towns c. As also Remonstrances Declarations Speeches Messages c. He was a great lover of learning religious in the way he professed and when Oxford Garrison was surrendred for the use of the Parliament he took great care for the preservation of the publick Library which in several respects did suffer while the Garrison was possest by the Royal Party And what he did for it at the time of his death I have elsewhere told you May 19. Oliver Cromwell Lieutenant General of the Parliament Army was then also created Dr. of the Civ Law He was conducted with Fairfax by the Beadles towards the upper end of the Convocation the members thereof then standing bare and was presented by
a constant Actor and as 't was observed had made it his choice to take his share in the warmest part of those services On the 12 of June 1668 died Charles Visc Fitzharding Treasurer of his Majesties Houshold whereupon Sir Tho. Clifford changed his White staff and was by his Maj. advanced to that place the day following and Francis Lord Newport succeeded Clifford as Comptroller Much about which time his Maj. by Patent made him one of the Lords Commissioners of his Treasury In 1671 his Maj. gave him a lease of 60 years of the Pastures of Creslow in Bucks and in the same year he finished a new Chappel at Vgbrook which was consecrated and dedicated to S.

Trevor and in the absence of Henry Earl of Arlington he executed the office of Secretary of State in the year 1672 until the return of the said Earl from his Embassy into Holland and Mr. Hen. Coventry from his Embassy into Sweden On the 22 Apr. 1672 his Maj. by Patent created him Baron Clifford of Chudleigh in Devonsh and in June following he gave him and his heirs males the mannours of Cannington and Rodway Fitzpayne in Somersetshire On the 28 of Nov. the same year his Maj. valuing his many eminent services and his great abilities in experience in the affairs of his Treasury he was pleased to advance him to the place of L. High Treasurer of England which had remained void since the death of Tho. late Earl of Southampton At which time his Maj. confer'd the place of Treasurer of the Houshold on the L. Newport beforemention'd and the place of Comptroller on Will Lord Maynard On the 29 Mar. 1673 an Act of Parl. pass'd for the entailing of Vgbrook and the Rectory of Chudleigh on his Lordship and the heirs of his body and on the 19 of June following he resigning into his Majesties hands his staff as L. Treasurer because he as 't was said refused the Test it was thereupon given by his Maj. to Sir Tho. Osborne Kt. and Bt. In the beginning of the Winter following the L.

in the Church there ARTHUR ANNESLEY son of Sir Franc. Annesley Baronet Lord Mount-Norris and Viscount Valentia in Ireland was born in Fish-Shamble street in S. Johns Parish within the City of Dublin on the tenth day of July an 1614 became a Fellow Commoner of Magd. Coll. in 1630 or thereabouts continued there under the tuition of a careful Tutor three years or more and having laid a sure foundation in literature to advance his knowledg in greater matters he returned to his native Country for a time In 1640 he was elected Knight for Radnorshire to serve in that Parliment which began at Westm 3. Nov. 1640 but his election being questioned Charles Price Esq then elected also was voted by the Committee of Elections to stand as more lawfully elected yet soon after he left that Parliament and followed the K. to Oxon where he sate in that called by his Majesty In the time of the rebellion our author Annesley was entrusted by both Houses of Parliament or appointed by them one of the Commissioners for the ordering and governing the affairs in Ireland an 1645 or thereabouts and became instrumental there to preserve the British and Protestant Interest Country and Garrisons from being swallowed up by Owen Oneill's barbarous Army or falling into the body of Irish hands c. Afterwards he went into England complied with the Parliament Ol. Cromwell and his party took the Oath called the Engagement as before he had the Covenant But when he saw that K. Ch. 2. would be restored to his Kingdoms he then when he perceived that it could not be hindred struck in and became instrumental for the recalling of him home as many of his perswasion did and thereupon they soothed themselves up and gave it out publickly that they were as instrumental in that matter as the best of the Royal party nay they stuck not to say that if it was not by their endeavours his Majesty would not have been restored At that time he was made a Privy Counsellour and to shew his zeal for his Majesties cause he procured himself to be put in among the number of those Justices or Judges to sit first at Hicks-hall and afterwards at the Old Bayly on the Regicides where one of them named Adrian Scrope did reflect upon him as 't was by all there present supposed and of others too as having before been misled as well as himself as I have told you in Anthony E. of Shaftsbury under the year 1682. In the year following 1661 a little before his Majesties Coronation he was by Letters Pat. bearing date on the 20 of Apr. created a Baron of this Kingdom by the title of Lord Annesley of Newport-Paynel in Bucks of which Town one Thom Annesley Great Uncle to Sir Franc. Annesley before mention'd had been High Constable as also a Count by the title of Earl of Anglesey as comming more near to his name than another place or Town Afterwards he enjoying certain Offices of trust was at length made Lord Privy Seal about the middle of Apr. 1673 and kept it till Aug. 1682 at which time he was deprived of it some have thought unjustly for several reasons as I shall anon tell you whereupon retiring to his Estate at Blechingdon in Oxfordshire which he some years before had purchased vindicated himself by writing an account of the whole proceeding of that affair as I shall tell you by and by He was a person very subtle cunning and reserv'd in the managery and transacting his affairs of more than ordinary parts and one who had the command of a very smooth sharp and keen Pen. He was also much conversant in books and a great Calvinist but his known countenance and encouragement given to persons of very different perswasions in matters of Religion hath left it somwhat difficult at least in some mens judgments peremptorily to determine among what sort of men as to point of Religion he himself ought in truth to have been ranked Yet it is to be observed that he did not dispense his favours with an equal hand to all these the dissenting party having still received the far largest share of them who did all along generally esteem him and his interest securely their own especially after the Popish Conspiracy broke out when then out of policy he avoided and shook off his numerous acquaintance of Papists as it was notoriously observed by them and of other pretenders to Politicks meerly to save themselves and to avoid the imputation of being Popishly affected As for his published writings they are these The truth unvailed in behalf the Church of England c. being a vindication of Mr. Joh.

Ormonde therefore represented the case in writing to the King on the 17 of June following which being read openly before the Council then sitting at Hampton Court his Maj. declared that he would hear the matter thereof in Council and did order that a copy of the said Representation should be delivered to Anglesey and that he appear and make answer thereunto at a Council to be holden at Whitehall on the 23 of the said month In obedience to this Anglesey tho much troubled with the Gout appeared made a short speech to his Majesty in vindication of himself bandied the matter with Ormond and then put in his answer to Ormond's representation or complaint against him These things being done another Council was held 13 July at which time Ormond delivering a paper to the Board containing several charges against him it was then
