Afterwards entring into holy Orders he became Chaplain to John Lord Paulet and in Aug. 1618 was by him presented to the rectory of Henton S. George in Somersetshire at which place much about the same time he taught a Grammar School In the time of the rebellion he was outed thence for his loyalty as some of his relations have said but I think false and afterwards retiring to the City of Exeter closed so much with the Presbyterians that he became Minister of S. Davids Church there and for several years was much frequented by them About the time of his Majesties restauration he went to East Coker in Somersetshire where he had lived for some time before he went to Exeter at which place he taught School for some time and afterwards was made Minister of it His works are The Saints hony-comb full of Divine truths touching both Christian belief and a Christian life in two cent Lond. 1652. oct The Communicants guide directing both the younger and elder sort how they may receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Lond. 1654. oct Pious thoughts vented in pithy ejaculations Lond. 1658. oct as also A Catechisme print in oct which I have not yet seen He died on the vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and eight and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of East Coker before mention'd but hath neither inscription or monumental stone over his grave JOHN DENHAM the only Son of Sir Joh.

Com. in Michaelm term an 1631. aged 16 years But being looked upon as a slow and dreaming young man by his seniors and contemporaries and given more to cards and dice than his study they could never then in the least imagine that he could ever inrich the World with his fansie or issue of his brain as he afterwards did From Trin. Coll. where he continued about 3 years and had been examined in the publick Schools for the degree of Bach. of Arts he went to Lincolns inn where tho he followed his study very close to the appearance of all persons yet he would game much and frequent the company of the unsanctified crew of Gamesters who rook'd him sometimes of all he could wrap or get But his Father having received notice of these matters took him severely to task with many threatnings to cast him off if he did not forbear from so doing Whereupon he wrot a Little Essay against Gaming shewing the vanities and inconveniencies which he presented to his Father to let him know his detestation of it After his Fathers death who died 6. Jan. 1638 and was buried in Egham Church in Surrey he fell to gaming again and shortly after squandred away several thousands of pounds that were left him c. In the latter end of the year 1641 he published the Tragedy called The Sophy which took extremely much and was admired by all ingenious men particularly by Edm. Waller of Beaconsfield who then said of the author that he broke out like the Irish rebellion threescore thousand strong when no body was aware or in the least suspected it Shortly after he was prick'd High Sherriff for Surrey and made Governour of Farnham Castle for the King But he being an inexpert soldier soon after left that office and retired to his Maj. at Oxon where he printed his poem called Coopers hill which hill is in the Parish of Egham in Surrey above Runney mead hath a very noble prospect and the author of it from thence doth admirably well describe several places in his view there which he mentions in that most celebrated poem In 1648 he conveyed or stole away James Duke of York from S. James's in Westminster then under the tuition of Algernon Earl of Northumberland and carried him into France to the Prince of Wales and the Qu. Mother and not long after was sent with William afterwards Lord Crofts as Envoyes to the King of Poland by the said Prince then K. Ch. 2. In 1652 or thereabouts he return'd into England and being in some streights for by gaming and the War he had squandred away much of his Estate at Egham and elsewhere and the rest ordered to be sold by the Parliament 15 July 1651 he was kindly entertain'd by the Earl of Pembroke at Wilton where
1667 at which time William Albert Count of Dona Embassador from Sweedland was here in England was broken and thereupon an alliance was made with France In which act we are to thank Henry Coventry Secretary of State for his pains if his own affirmation may be credited when he went into Sweedland 1671. In the same Session of Parliament Shaftesbury had a principal hand in promoting and establishing the Test to render Papists uncapable of publick employments And this he did as 't is thought because he perceiving the Court to be sick of him provided himself by having a hand therein with a retreat to the favour and applause of the populacy On the 9. of Nov. 1673 he being then President of his Majesties Council for trade and plantations the Great Seal was taken from him by the endeavours of James Duke of York who found him untractable and not fit according to moderation for that high place or as another tells us for his zeal and activity in promoting the Bill for the aforesaid Test and thereupon he grew much discontented and endeavoured several times to make a disturbance On the 16. of Feb. 1676 he with George Duke of Buckingham James Earl of Salisbury and Philip Lord Wharton were sentenced by the H. of Lords to be committed Prisoners to the Tower under the notion of contempt for that they refused a recantation for what the day before was spoken by them viz. that Buckingham just after the King had ended his Speech to both Houses at their then meeting endeavouring to argue from Law and reason that the long prorogation was null'd and that the Parliament was consequently dissolved was seconded by Salisbury Shaftesbury and Wharton For which reason I say and for endeavouring to raise sedition they were sent to the Tower Buckingham Salisbury and Wharton were by petition to his Majesty freed thence in the beginning of May following but Shaftesbury remained there till the beginning of Dec. next ensuing notwithstanding he before Jun. 22. an 1677 had moved for a Habeas Corpus to the Kings Bench which was granted yet the Judges declared they could not release him In Sept. 1678 upon the breaking out of the Popish Plot he became head of the factious party who making it more terrible than 't was endeavoured all ways imaginable to promote their interest thereby To stop Shaftesbury's mouth therefore and so consequently please his party his Majesty vouchsafed to constitute him Lord President of his Privy Council consisting then but of 30 21. Apr. 1679 but he shewing himself too busie and forward and little or not at all to keep pace with the Kings moderate humour he was laid aside on the 5 of Octob. following and was succeeded in that honorable office by John Lord Roberts who behaving himself much like a Gentleman was soon after created Earl of Radnor After this Shaftesbury plays his old game by recurring to the People remov'd into the City and to vent his spleen became the most bitter enemy in the H. of Lords against the Duke of York especially at that time 15. of Nov. 1680 when William Lord Russell eldest Son of William Earl of Bedford did in the head of more than 200 of the House of Commons carry up a Bill to the House of Lords for the disinheriting the said Duke of the Imperial Crown of Britaine Then and there I say he was so heated with passion being excellently well opposed in what he then said by George Earl of Halyfax that he talked almost all the time being ten of the Clock at night before they gave over But all that he then and afterwards said effecting nothing he wrot or caused to be written abusive Pamphlets and endeavoured with others by an Association to depose the King in case he and his Parliament held at Oxon in Mar. 168â— should disagree which he fully expected But his trayterous designs being discovered he was seized on in his House in London by one of his Majesties Serjeants at armes on the 2. Jul. 1681 examined by the Council the K. being then present and forthwith was committed close Prisoner to the Tower for High Treason in compassing and imagining the death of the King and endeavouring to depose him from his Crown and Dignity and to raise armes to that purpose On the 24. of Nov. following there was a Bill of indictment of High Treason against him read before his Majesties Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer in the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie London and afterwards proved by several sufficient Witnesses but the fanatical Jury pack'd on purpose by the then fanatical Sheriffs Tho. Pilkington and Sam. Shute they returned the Bill Ignoramus and so forthwith Shaftesbury was set at liberty Upon which deliverance the seditious party made Bonefires and caused a medal to be cast of which medal Dryden the Poet Laureat made a witty Poem In Octob. 1682 when Dudley North and Pet. Rich the loyal Sheriffs of London were sworn a Warrant was issued out against to apprehend him Whereupon he sculk'd for a time till an opportunity wafted him over the Seas to Holland where he remained to the time of his death He hath written divers things of which these are some The fundamental constitutions of Carolina Lond. in 7. sh in fol.

At which time being under the tuition of Dr. afterwards Sir Hen. Marten made great proficiency in Logicals and two years after was admitted verus Socius After he had taken the degrees in Arts he studied Astronomy Mathematicks the Tongues and Divinity in the last of which he had an eager desire to continue and improve himself but finding a great defect in his Memory and Utterance of which he often complained particularly to Dr. Bancroft Bishop of Oxon his Diocesan in his Epistle dedicatory to him of a Sermon preached at a Visitation while he was a rural Dean made choice rather to quit his place in the Coll. for the statutes thereof oblig'd him to Divinity and live upon that small patrimony he had than to follow and prosecute the said study of Divinity What farther I have to observe of him is 1 That the seven years next ensuing after he had left his Fellowship of New Coll. which was 1603. he spent in the finishing and setting forth such books that he had begun in the College especially that De emendatione temporum dedicated to Pr. Henry to whom he was Chronographer and Cosmographer Which Prince being solely given up to all vertue did gratiously accept of it and had so great a respect for the Author that had he lived he would have done great matters for him but dying in the flower of his youth the hopes of our Author were interr'd with that Prince in his grave 2 That at the end of those seven years Dr. Usher afterwards Archbishop of Armagh being in London found him out and had him with him into Ireland where he continued in the Coll. near Dublin about two years At the end of which he purposing to return for England the Lord Deputy and Chanc. of Ireland did upon his motion make him a joynt promise of a competent Maintenance upon his return back again thither When he came into England the Rectory of Okerton before mention'd falling void which he before had refused when Fellow of New Coll. upon the offer of it by his Father the Patron he did after several demurrs and not without much reluctancy of mind accept
Axe-yard joyning to Kingstreet within the City of Westminster where he died in the very beginning of the year about 25 of March sixteen hundred fifty and four but where he was buried I cannot tell for the register of S. Margarets Church wherein Axe-yard is situated mentions him not to have been buried in that Parish Now as for John Lilbourne before-mention'd he having been very famous for his infamy I shall say these things of him He was born of a good Family at Thickley-Punchardon in the County Pal. of Durham and when very young was sent to London and bound an Apprentice to a packer of Cloth in S. Swithins-lane At which time and before he was esteemed a youth of an high and undaunted spirit of a quick and pregnant apprehension and of an excellent memory yet always after much addicted to contention novelties opposition of Government and to violent and bitter expressions About the year 1632 he upon the dislike of his trade had a mind to study the common Law and therefore upon his and the desire of his friends he was taken into the service of Mr. Will Prynne of Linc. Inn who shortly after suffering for his Histrio-Mastix as I shall tell you at large when I come to him his Servant Lilbourne took his Masters part imprinted and vended a book or books against the Bishops for which being committed Prisoner to the Fleet was afterwards whipped at a Carts tail from the said Fleet to Westminster the indignity of which he being not able to endure railed all the way against his Persecutors When he came to the Pallace yard he stood in the Pillory two hours and talking there to the People against the State was gagg'd In 1640 he was released from his Prison by the Members of the Long Parliament and soon after took upon him the place of a Captain in their Service and after the battle of Edghill being taken Prisoner at Brainford in the year 1642 was carried to Oxon and there arraigned for a Traytor for levying War against the Person of the King Afterwards he being released he was made a Lieutenant Colonel and became for a time the Idol of the factious party But he being naturally a great trouble-world in all the variety of Governments became a hodg-podg of Religion the chief ringleader of the Levellers a great proposal maker and modeller of state and publisher of several seditious Pamphlets among which were 1 A Salva Libertate 2 Impeachment of High Treason against Oliver Cromwell and his Son in Law Hen. Ireton Esq 3 The outcry of the young men and the Apprentices of Lond. or an inquisition after the loss of the fundamental Laws and Liberties of England c. 4 The legal fundamental Liberties of the People of England revived 5 Preparation to an hue and crie after Sir Arth. Haselrig c. For which and for his endeavors to disturb the peace and subvert the Government of this Nation he was committed Prisoner to Newgate in Aug. 1645 where continuing a considerable while several Petitions subscribed by hundreds of Citizens and others as also by his Wife and many Women were put up to the Parliament for his releasment Afterwards he was transmitted to the Tower where having too much liberty allowed him he and his party spake very disgracefully of the two Houses of Parliament to whom it appeared that there was a design of many thousands intended under a colour of Petition to dishonour the Parliament and their proceedings whereupon his liberty was restrained and he was ordered to appear at the bar of the H. of Commons This was in Jan. 1647 and accordingly appearing he made a large answer to the information against him at which time the reading of proofs and examination of the business held till six of the Clock at night and then the House ordered that he be remanded to the Tower and tried by the Law of the Land for seditious and scandalous practices against the State Which order being not obeyed for his party withheld him under a pretence of a great meeting to be at Deptford in Kent about their Petition that is The Petition of many thousands of the free-born People of England c. it was ordered that the Officers of the Guards do assist the Sergeant in carrying him and Maj. Jo. Wildman to Prison which was done and that the Committee of Kent take care to suppress all meetings upon that Petition and to prevent all tumults and that the Militia of London c. take care to suppress such meetings and to prevent inconveniencies which may arise thereby and upon the said Petition Afterwards he seems to have been not only set at liberty but to have had reparations made for his sentence in the Star Chamber and sufferings before the Civil War began But he being of a restless spirit as I have told you published a Pamphlet entit Englands new Chains discovered c. which was the bottom and foundation of the Levellers design of whom he was the Corypheus Whereupon being committed again about the beginning of 1649 was brought to his trial in the Guild-hall where after great pleadings to and fro he was quitted by his Jury to the great rejoycing of his party Afterwards he went into the Netherlands and there as 't is said became acquainted with the Duke of Buckingham Lord Hopton Captain Titus c. At length being desirous to see his native Country he returned into England where after he had continued some time in his projects to disturb the Government he was apprehended and committed to Newgate and at length brought to his trial at the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie 20. Aug. 1653. but quitted again by his Jury Soon after he was conducted to Portsmouth in order to his conveyance beyond the Seas but by putting in for his peaceable deportment for the future he return'd fell into the acquaintance of the Quakers became one of them setled at Eltham in Kent where somtimes he preached and at other times at Wollidge and was in great esteem among that party At length departing this mortal life at Eltham on Saturday 29. of Aug. 1657 his body was two days after conveyed to the house called The Mouth near Aldersgate in London which was then the usual meeting place of Quakers Whence after a great controversie among a strange medley of People there mostly Quakers whether the Ceremony of a Hearse-cloth should be cast over his Coffin which was carried in the negative it was conveyed to the then new burial place in Morefields near to the place called now Old Bedlam where it was interred This is the Person of whom the magnanimous Judge Jenkins used to say that if the World was emptied of all but John Lilbourne Lilbourne would quarrel with John and John with Lilbourne This Jo.

Ch. 1. made Governour to the Duke of Buckingham and his Brother the Lord Francis Villiers with whom he travelled beyond the Seas While he continued in Italy it hapned that walking in the Garden of the House where he lodged he was shot with a brace of bullets in his thigh by men who watched him on the other side of the wall a usual adventure in that Country and assoon as he fell the men who had done it leaped over the wall and looking upon him beg'd his pardon and said they were mistaken for he was not the man that they intended to kill which was all the satisfaction he had After his return into England and had delivered up his charge of the two noble Brothers to the King who highly approved of the care he had taken of their education as it appears by the grant his Maj. was pleased to give him of the first place of Grome of his Bed-chamber which should become void the King was pleased to command him to translate Davila's History he being a perfect Master of the Italian Language which he did with the assistance of his constant Friend Sir Charles Cotterel and published it under this title The History of the Civil Wars of France written in Italian by Henry Canterino de Avila Lond. 1647. fol. written in 15 Books to which was a continuation of 15 books more In the year following our Translator Aylesbury went beyond the Sea and dwelt at Antwerp with his Relations till 1650 at which time being reduced to great straights stole over into England where he lived for some time among his friends and acquaintance and sometime at Oxon. among certain Royalists there At length Oliver Cromwell sending a second supply to the Island of Jamaica he engaged himself in that expedition in the quality of a Secretary to the Governour as I have heard where he died in the year sixteen hundred fifty and seven otherwise had he lived till the Restauration of K.

Afterwards he was Preacher to the Inhabitants of S. Mildrids Parish in Breadstreet within the City of London which he quitting upon no good account before the beginning of the rebellion he became the scandalous and seditious Minister as one calls him of Cogshall in Essex But soon after upon appearance of the said rebellion he retired to the said City again and being a voluble Preacher he was thought fit not only to exercise his parts at S. Mildrids beforemention'd but also before both Houses of Parliament the Members of which constituted him one of the Assembly of Divines as being a Covenanteer to the purpose While he preached at S. Mildrids which was only to exasperate the People to rebel and confound Episcopacy 't was usual with him especially in hot weather to unbutton his doublet in the Pulpit that his breath might be the longer and his voice more audible to rail against the Kings Party and those that were near to him whom he called Popish Counsellors This he did in an especial manner in Sept. 1644 when he with great concernment told the People several times that God was angry with the Army for not cutting off Delinquents c. Afterwards about 1646 he became Minister of the Church of S. Paul in Convent Garden where as also sometimes in the Country he kept up the vigour of a Presbyterian Ministry which for divers years prospered according to his mind to the converting of many and conviction of more In 1653 he was appointed one of the number of triers or examiners of Ministers appointed by Parliament and the year after he was by the members thereof constituted an Assistant to the Commissioners of London for the ejection of such whom they then called scandalous and ignorant Ministers and Schoolmasters At length finding himself decayed by his too zealous carrying on the Covenanting work he resigned his charge in Convent Garden about two years before his death and retired to Marlborough Soon after the Earl of Bedford upon some consideration confer'd the said Church on the Son-in-law of our Author Sedgwick called Thomas Manton as zealous a Presbyterian as the former where he continued till the Act of Uniformity ejected him as I shall tell you when I come to him As for our Author Sedgwick he hath these things following going under his name Several Sermons as 1 Military discipline for a Christian Soldier on 1.

Coll. is of his copying His genie laid most of all in the Mechanicks had an admirable mechanical invention and excellent notions for the raising of water and making Water-engins many of which inventions being presented to the Royal Society about the time of its first erection were highly approved by them and forthwith the members thereof admitted him one of their number About the year 1640 he entertained the notion of curing diseases by transfusion of blood out of one man into another the hint whereof came into his head from Ovid's story of Medea and Jason Which matter he communicating to the Royal Society about the time of its first erection was entred into their books But this way of transfusion having as 't is said been mention'd long before by Andr. Libavius our author Potter who I dare say never saw that Writer is not to be esteemed the first inventer of that notion nor Dr. Rich.

Cheynell of which he complained to the Long Parliament he travelled into France with a Gent. Com. of his House called Thomas Radcliff son of Sir Geor. Radcl and afterwards with Thom. Culpeper and Thom. Strode both of the same House At length setling for a time in Rome he was entertained by George Duke of Buckingham whom he instructed in Mathematicks and was much respected by him After his return into England being depriv'd of his Fellowship by the Visitors appointed by Parliam for absence and non-appearance an 1648. he lived for some time in York house in the Strand near London by the appointment of the said Duke but Arthur Lord Capell being informed of the great merits of the person he entertained and learned of him the Mathematical Sciences In 1660 he was restored to his Fellowship by his Maj. Commissioners and remained in his Coll. for a time But his opinion as to Religion being then alter'd as it had been since he was at Rome which he always very warily conceal'd got leave of the Master and Society to be absent as intending again to travel with the allowance of 20 l. per an So that retiring to London he afterwards setled at Hoxton alias Hogsden near to that City where he lived very obscurely and retiredly upon that allowance that the College made to him as a Traveller all therein except one knowing not to the contrary but that he was beyond the seas There I say being setled he not only caused Youths to be trained up in the R.

Jac. 1. became a Fellow Commoner of Exeter Coll. in Lent term 1636 under the tuition of Dr. Prideaux the Rector thereof and continued there about two years Afterwards he went to Lincolns Inn to study the municipal Law and in the latter end of 1639 he was elected one of the Burgesses for Tewksbury in Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament that began at Westm 13. Apr. 1640. In 1642 he sided with his Majesty being then as 't is said High Sherriff of Dorsetshire became Governour of Weymouth and raised some forces for his use But the mind of this person being mutable he left the royal cause went in to the Parliament and served them was made Colonel of a Regiment of Horse and took the Covenant But when the Presbyterians thought themselves sure of him whip he was gone as one saith and in a trice commenced a Brother Independent which was a wise part and no trick of a changling to shift principles like shirts and quit an unlucky side in a fright at the noise of a new prevailing party with whom he staid till he grew up to the size of a great Commonwealths man and made hay in the Sun shine until the Commonwealth and Cromwell were brought to bed of a strange new kind of Monarchy in the House of Commons a three or four hundred-headed Monarchy called The Fifth Monarchy and in those days it was also called Cromwells little Parliament in which his little Lordship became one of the Princes among a Drove of Changlings c. In 1645 he was elected Sherriff of Norfolk and the next year Sherriff of Wilts both approved of and consented to by the members of Parliament In Jan. 1651 he having before taken the Engagement he was one of those 21 persons who were appointed by Parliament to sit as a Committee to consider of the inconveniences which were in the Law c. and soon after he was chose one of the Council of State to Oliver in which high office he continued till that person was Protector In June 1653 he was constituted Knight for Wilts to serve in the said Little Parliament that began at Westm on the 4. of July the same year but therein having spied out Olivers purpose of matching to another sort of Monarchy of his own Sir Anthony then resolved like a constant steady man to his own main point to trepan his fellow members and strike in with him and lent him thereupon a helping hand towards the confounding of Fifth Monarchy to make way for a new one under the name of Protector in which seene of affairs he was made a Protectorian Privy-counsellour In Aug. 1654 he was appointed by ordinance one of the Commissioners for Wilts Dorsetshire and Pool for the ejection of such whom the Godly Party then called scandalous ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters and about the same time he was elected a. Burgess for Pool before mention'd and for Tewkesbury in Glocestershire to serve in that Parl. called by Oliver then Protector that began at Westm 3. of Sept. the same year At which time he aspiring to become the Protectors Son-in-Law Cromwell who well enough understood him either disdaining or not daring to take him so near into his bosome took occasion also to quit him out of his Council So that being out of such publick employs he was at leisure to make court to all private Malecontents against the Protector and wheresoever he found a sore there he rub'd hardest till the end of the Raign of Richard In 1656 he was elected a Parliament man for Wilts to serve in that convention that met at Westminster 17 of Sept. the same year and in 1658 he was elected again for that which began at the same place 27. of January In both which the friends and favourites of Sir Anthony say that he endeavoured to cross the designs of Oliver and Richard But the last being soon after laid aside Sir Anthony thought it high time of necessity to turn back to the old honest point of the compass and get in again to be thought a new man of his Majesties party To this end notwithstanding he had been nominated one of the Council of State after the deposing of Richard May 15 1659 he joyned partly with the Presbyterians and privately engaged with Sir George Booth was of the Cabal kept intelligence with him and had a party in Dorsetshire which should be ready to assist him if little success

security thereof So that Mr. Dugdale being bound by his place to attend his Majesty he setled for a time in Hart Hall and on the 1 of Nov. 1642 he was actually created Master of Arts as I have before told About that time he committed to writing the most memorable passages in the battel at Edghill and that the relation of all particulars might be the better understood he went to that place in Feb. following being accompanied with some Gentlemen of note At which time taking with him a skilful Surveyor he rode to Banbury the Castle there being then his Majesties Garrison and thence to the field where the battel was fought which he exactly surveyed and noted where each Army was drawn up where the Canons were placed and the graves where the slain persons were buried observing also from the relation of the neighbouring Inhabitants the certain number which lay buried in each pit or grave Which by a just computation did not amount to full one thousand tho the report of the Vulgar made them at least five thousand Returning thence to Oxford he continued there by his Majesties command until the surrender of that Garrison for the use of the Parliament 24 June 1646 which wanted not 4 months of 4 years his Estate in the Country being all that while sequestred in which time he notwithstanding got a subsistance by attending the Funerals of several noble persons and of others of great quality some of which were slain in the Wars according to the duty of his Office On the 16 of Apr. 1644 he was created Chester Herald upon the promotion of Sir Edw. Walker to be Norrey and soon after he took a journey to Worcester within which Diocess the southern parts of Warwickshire lye where having perusal of the Registers both of the Bishop and Dean and Chapter he thence extracted several Collections in order to his historical work of Warwickshire as he before had done at Lichfield within which Diocess the rest of the said County lies as by the quotations in the elaborate work of The Antiq. of Warwicksh afterwards made public it appears While he continued in Oxon. where he had leisure enough to follow his studies he applied himself to the search of such Antiquities as were to be found in the famous Bodlelan Library as also in the Libraries of certain Colleges and in private hands as he thought any way conduceable to the furtherance of the work designed by Rog. Dodsworth and himself touching the Monastery-foundations before mention'd as also of whatsoever might relate to matter of History in reference to the Nobility of this Kingdom in which he found very much for that purpose whereof he made great use in his Volumes intit The Baronage of England since published After the surrender of Oxford Mr. Dugdale repaired to London and made his Composition in Goldsmiths Hall for at least 168 l. After which having proceeded very far in collecting materials in the Country for his designed work of Warwickshire he repaired again to London for the farther perusal of the Records in the Tower and other places and there perfected his Collection touching the Antiquities of that County where hapning to meet with Mr. Dodsworth he told him how he had bestowed his time in Oxon and elsewhere by gaining materials in order to that work of the Monasteries and Mr. Dodsworth did the like to him whereby Mr. Dugd. did understand that he had transcribed many Foundation-Charters and other Grants of consequence relating to the Monasteries of Yorkshire and some other northern Counties which he copied for the most part from the Originals remaining in sundry large chests deposited in S. Maries Tower at York This Tower with all such evidences therein was accidentally blown up in the War time so that had not Mr. Dodsworth made his Collections thence before that accident fell out the loss would have been irreparable Other matters that he collected thence are now in many volumes remaining in the Bodleian Library by the gift of Thomas Lord Fairfax who also to his great honour be it spoken shew'd himself very generous to all such Soldiers at York that could retrieve any of the said Charters that were so blown up After Mr. Dugdale's communication with Mr. Dodsworth concerning each others Collections he waited upon the Lady Eliz. Hatton to Calais in the month of May 1648 there to meet with the Lord Hatton her husband from Paris which being so done he went back with that Lord thither and making stay there about three months he thro the favour of Monsâ—er Franc. du Chesne son to the learned Andr. du Chesne deceased had a view of divers excellent Collections made by the said Andrew relating to divers Monasteries in France Normandy and other parts of that Kingdom Among which discovering divers things of note touching divers Religious Houses in England formerly called Priories Aliens which had been Cells to sundry great Abbies in foreign parts he took copies of them of which he made good use in those volumes called Monasticon Anglicanum afterwards published and then returned into England having Letters of safe conduct under the Sign manual and Signet of the then Queen of England Henrietta Maria bearing date at S. Germans in Lay upon the third of Aug. This so fair and industrious Collection being got together by Mr. Dodsworth as hath been observed as also that made by Mr. Dugdale gathered out of divers Leiger-books and other authentick MSS. at Oxon did encourage them to proceed in perfecting the work Whereupon they resolved to go to the Records in the Tower of London to which having free admission they made a perfect and thorough search and took copies of all that they deemed most material for their work Which being done they retired to the Cottonian Library making the like search there and left nothing omitted from the multitudes of Leiger-books there that might serve them in that most elaborate work Their business being there finished Mr. Dugdale discovered many bundles of papers of State which were original Letters and other choice memorials obtained by Sir Rob. Cotton from sundry hands some whereof were the Transactions between Cardinal Wolsey Thom. Cromwell afterwards Earl of Essex Secretary Will. Paget Sir Will. Cecil Lord Burleigh Secretary Francis Walsingham and others relating as well to foreign as domestick affairs As also the Letters and Papers of Mary Qu. of Scots Thomas Duke of Norfolk c. All which Mr. Dugdale sorted methodically both as to time and otherwise and caus'd them to be bound up with clasps and Sir Tho. Cotton's Arms impressed on each side of every book with the Contents in the beginning what each book contained All which amounted to 80 volumes and were made useful to all lovers of historical learning The Collections of the two volumes of the Monastery Foundations intit Monast Anglic. being thus compleated and the publishing of them by the Press desired an offer was made to several Booksellers of the Copies upon such different terms
as might have defrayed the charge of those Transcripts so made from Records and otherwise as hath been observed But the Booksellers not willing to adventure on them Mr. Dodsworth and Mr. Dugdale joined together and hired several sums of money to defray the cost and expence of them The care of which work as to the Printing lay totally on Mr. Dugdale because Mr. Dodsworth died in Lancashire about the midst of August an 1654 before the tenth part of the first vol. came off from the Press The first vol. being finished an 1655 a stop was made for some years of bringing the second to the Press until the greatest part of the impression was sold whereby money might be had to go on therewith Mr. Dugdale therefore having with no small pains and charge finished his Collections in order to his designed historical work of Warwicksh Antiquities and at length perfected the frame thereof was at the whole charge of Printing and Paper for publishing the same and continued in London to correct the Press himself by reason that the ordinary Correctors were not skil'd at all in the Pedigrees Which book was finished and expos'd to sale an 1656. In the time of his continuance in London he casually met with one Mr. Reading a Northamptonshire Gent who had been Clerk of the Nisi prius for the midland-Circuit and with whom he had been formerly acquainted This Mr. Reading knowing Mr. Dugdale to be an indefatigable searcher into Records he friendly invited him to his house at Scrivners Hall near Silverstreet promising to shew him divers old MSS original Charters and other ancient Writings So that he going thither accordingly he brought forth five antient MSS. in folio which were Chartularies of the Lordships and Lands first given to the Cath. Ch. of S. Paul in London All which he freely lent to carry with him to his house in Warwickshire till Mich. term ensuing and then upon the restoration of them he should have use of as many more But in the said Term when he went to London to restore them whence he had extracted what he thought fit as to any historical use he found that Mr. Reading was dead and had constituted one Mr. Williams a Barrister of the Temple his Executor Whereupon Mr. Dugd. addressing himself to that person to desire a sight of the rest he brought him to Scrivners Hall and there shew'd him many other Manuscript-books original Charters old Rolls and other very antient Writings in bags and hampers relating to the said Cathedral of S. Paul All which he freely lent to Mr. Dugdale amounting to no less than ten Porters burthens to be carried to his lodgings Being thus in his private custody he first bestowed pains to sort them into order and afterwards made extracts from them of what he found historical in reference to that Cath. Ch. And to the end that the memory of those many antient monuments therein which were afterwards utterly destroyed the Church also being made a Horse-garrison by the Usurpers might be continued to posterity Mr. Dugdale did by the help and favour of sundry worthy persons who voluntarily offered to be at the charge of the plates in which the Representations were cut in brass as also the prospects of that whole Fabrick inside and outside accomplish the same Further also having succinctly framed an historical narration of the first foundation and endowment of the said Church as also of all the Chantries and what else was most memorable therein or relating thereto made it publick by the Press an 1658. But as the longest day hath its evening so did it at last please the omnipotent to put a period to the tyrannous actions of the said Usurpers by the most miraculous Restauration of King Ch. 2. an 1660 which was about â—â— years after the most execrable murder of his royal Father At which time to prevent the importunity of others who aimed at the Office of Norroy King of Arms void by the promotion of Sir Edw. Walker to the Office of Garter whom I shall mention by and by Sir Edw. Hyde Kt then Lord Chancellor and afterwards Earl of Clarendon having seen the Antiquities of Warwickshire and the first vol. of Monasticon did move the King on the behalf of Mr. Dugdale for the said place Whereupon it being readily granted there was a special Warrant made under the royal Signet to prepare a Patent for the same Which Patent after his Majesties return passed the Great Seal accordingly on the 18 of June 1660. At the same time the second vol. of Mon. Angl. was in the Press and the next year 't was published During the printing of which he laboured about his historical work of Imbanking and drayning the Fens and Marshes deduced out of public Records and antient MSS at the instance of the Lord Gorges and others who were the principal Adventurers in that costly and laudable Undertaking for drayning the great Level extending into a considerable part of the Counties of Cambridge Huntingdon Northampton Norfolk and Suffolk This book was adorned with several exact Maps of the parts and places so drayned and was published in 1662. Further also having been much importun'd by Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Canterbury and the Earl of Clarendon Lord Chancellour to perfect that Collection began by the learned Sir Hen. Spelman for his intended second vol. of the Provincial Councils in England Mr. Dugdale did in order thereunto make diligent search for all such materials that might be got either out of the Cottonian Library or otherwise Which being done he made Transcripts of them and methodized the same for the Press So that the whole vol. amounting to 200 sheets in folio all of it except 57 were totally of Mr. Dugdale's Collection It was printed in 1664 but very full of faults occasion'd if I am not mistaken by the absence of the said Mr. Dugdale Will. Somnore the Antiquary of Canterbury took a great deal of pains to correct a printed copy of it with his pen in the margin which copy is yet remaining in the Library belonging to the Ch. of Canterbury At the same time also the second part of Sir Hen. Spelmans Glossary which begins with the letter M was brought to Mr. Dugdale to have it fitted for the Press for so it was that Sir Henry having lest it very imperfect much of it being loosly written and in sundry bits of paper he took pains to dispose thereof into proper order by transcribing many of those loose papers and afterwards by marking such parts of it for differencing the character as needed The first part also that had been published by Sir Henry an 1626 was afterwards considerably augmented and corrected by its Author Which also being brought to Mr. Dugdale and by him review'd and made fit for the Press were both printed together an 1664. But the second part which Sir H. Spelman leâ—t imperfect as is before told you comes far short of the first After this Mr. Dugdale having in many years
was made one of the Kings Serjeants being then esteemed an excellent Orator a great Lawyer and an ornament to his profession and on the 7. of Aug. 1641 he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty at Whitehall Afterwards when the King was forced to leave the Parliament he followed him to Oxon and was very serviceable to him in many respects In 1645 he was disinabled from being a member of Parliament sitting at Westminster for his delinquency as t was then called So that retiring to his home after the Kings cause declined he was committed to Prison where continuing till he had made his composition was released in 1648.
