Piety and real Worth. His Father Mr. Thomas Rainbow was a Reverend Divine noted for his Learning and Vertue who after his being educated at Christ's College in Cambridge was first presented to the Rectory of Bliton above-mentioned and then to that of Wintringham in the same County of Lincoln situate upon Humber that great Aestuarium where so many Rivers meet e're they pay their Tributes to the Ocean Both which Places were conferr'd upon him by the Worshipful Family of the Wrays of Glentworth And he is said to have well deserved such Advancement being a Man who preached as well to his Parishioners by his exemplary good Life as by his sound Doctrin and when he dy'd thô I cannot learn certainly when that was left the Odor of a good Name behind him Nor was his Mother Mrs. Rebecca Allen Daughter to Mr. David Allen Rector of Ludbrough in Lindsey-Coast aforeseid an unfit Consort for so Worthy a Man. For to many of those good qualifications of a Woman mentioned by the wisest of Kings she added that of the knowledge of the Scriptures even in the Original Languages being trained up by her Father to the understanding of the Latin the Greek and the Hebrew So that if the Female Sex Eustochium and others have been so much commended by S. Hierom for their great Skill in the Sacred Writings the Praise that this excellent Matron merited in this kind ought not to be forgotten Which is also a pregnant instance that the other Sex is not incapable of some of the most profound Studies and not altogether unfit to walk in the most retired Paths of Learning Our Edward Rainbow had the Name of Edward given him from his Godfather Mr. Edward Wray of Rycot who was younger Brother to Sir John Wray the elder and who was a great Courtier and Favourite of the elder George Duke of Buckingham by whose Interest Mr Wray married the Heiress of the Honour and Fortune of the Lord Norris of Rycot and to whom joyntly with his Brother Sir John Wray his God-Son Mr. Rainbow afterwards dedicated his first printed Sermon Preached at S. Pauls Cross Entituled Labour forbidden and commanded But to return whence we have digressed a little From such pious Parents who can doubt but Edward Rainbow met with a good Education Goodness is diffusive of it self by Nature and most especially when seated in those of so near a Relation as Parents to Children The sense of their Duty in the first quickens their desires of propagating their Vertues in their Off-spring as well as continuing in them their Names to Posterity And accordingly this vertuous Couple took great care early to instil into this their Son the Principles of Religion a great and cordial Love for his Heavenly Lord and Master and a just Fear to offend him in the breach of any of his Divine Commands They taught him to aspire to the possession of that Celestial Country where that love for true Piety would be as unbounded as that God who is the Original of it And doubtless the early cultivating of so hopeful a Plant was not ineffectual as the Sequel shew'd He had been taught that this Life was but a Pilgrimage and what would be the conclusion of minding his walking therein soon which made him hasten his pace to Heaven-ward For Travellers never hasten so much as when they expect good Lodgings at their Journeys end His Infancy being past about Nine years of Age he was sent to Fillingham a Village in the so often mentioned County of Lincoln where his Grandmother Allen and his Ant Peachel his Mothers Sister lived At which place he begun to lay the Foundation of Secular Learning which his Parents observing him to be very capable of improving to a considerable height sent him in A. Dom. 1619. to the publick School of Gainsborough and from thence in April 16●0 to Peterborow in Northamptonshire to be one of the Scholars of Dr. John Williams who was then Prebend of that Church And it was upon his account that Edward Rainbow was sent to Westminster School in June 1621 Dr. Williams old Mr. Rainbows great Friend being advanced to the Deanry of Westminster and the Bishoprick of Lincoln and consequently had thereby better opportunities to gratifie his Friends Son in Westminster where he then chose to reside In all these short Stages of his Youth he was so far from frustrating the Hopes which his Parents had conceived of him that the great Proficiency under his several Masters adorned with his meek and obliging humor easily gained him the Favour of his Instructors and the Esteem of his more diligent School-Fellows In which state he continued till fitted for the University and then he was sent to Corpus Christi College in Oxon in July 1623. at the Age of Fifteen where his elder Brother John was admitted and died Fellow of that House He had before this viz. in March 1621 lost his dear Mother which loss gave him all the disturbance that a dutiful Son was capable of for the Death of so prudent and tender a Mother and whom he never mentioned without Honour Nor did she dye lamented by him alone but by all those who were acquainted with her extraordinary Parts and religious Conversation and who were not generally Enemies of or Strangers to true Vertue Having paid the Debt due to the memory of his good Mother I am obliged to resume the Thred of his History and consequently to mention that during his stay in Oxford he applied himself to his Studies with that attention which became the Son of so Learned a Father which course he held on in Magdalen College in Cambridge whither he was transplanted in June 1. 1625 and that upon the following occasion The Right Honourable and truly Noble Lady Frances Countess Dowager of Warwick and Daughter to Sir Christopher Wray sometimes Lord Chief Justice of England as she inherited her Fathers Liberality who had been a great Benefactor to the last mentioned College of Magdalen in giving Lands and Moneys to it for the Founding a Fellowship and two Scholarships so did she also inherit the kindness of her Family to that of Edward Rainbow and therefore in her life time did him that honour to nominate him one of her Scholars there Upon which account as hath been already hinted he removed from Oxon thither and was admitted into that College and Scholarship at the time above-mentioned He took his Degree of Bachelor of Arts there in Anno Dom. 1627 and commenced Master of Arts in 1630 a Year which is sufficiently remarkable in History for the Birth of our late Gracious Sovereign Charles the Second and for the descent of Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweden into Germany where till death put a Period to his Martial Atchievments Victory seem'd to be his constant Attendant In July after he had proceeded Master of Arts he was sent for to teach the Free-School at Kirton in Lindsey Coast three or four Miles from Bliton which was profered
