The Decency and Advancement of the Colledge 2. The Incouragement of Tenants and the Improvement of their Woods and Lands 3. The Inuring of Scholars to Discipline in their young days that being accustomed to the yoke in their youth they might not start in their elder years For being active in gathering the University Plate for his Majesty he was with the excellent Dr. Stern now Lord Archbishop of York sent surrounded in their respective Colledges carried to London in triumph in which persecution there was this circumstance remarkable That though there was an express Order from the Lords for their Imprisonment in the Tower which met them at Tottenham high-Cross wherein notwithstanding there was no Crime expressed yet they were led Captive through Bartholomew-Fare and so as far as Temple-bar and back through the City into the Tower on purpose that they might be hooted at or stoned and so for three years together hurried from Prison to Prison after they were Plundered and Sequestred two words that signified an undoing without any Legal Charge against them or Tryal of them it being supposed surely that they would be famished at Land and designed that they should be stiffled when kept ten days under Deâ—k at Sea or all failing to be sent as Galli-slaves to Argiers till this worthy person was exchanged and had liberty to go to Oxford to serve his Majesty there as he had done here by a good Example constant Fasts and Prayers exact Intelligence convincing and comfortable Sermons as he did all the while he lived till his heart broke to see what he always feared and endeavoured in vain to perswade the moderate part of the other side of his Majesty murthered and he died suddainly with these words in his mouth which the standers by understood with reference to the state of the publick as well as the condition of his own private person I believe the Resurrection Nor am I stir'd that thy Pale Ashes have O're the dark Climate of a private Grave No fair Inscription such distempers flow From poor Lay-thoughts whose blindness cannot know That to discerning Spirits Graves can be But a large Womb

For whatever was at the bottom of his actions there was resolution and nobleness at top being carried from Village to Village after the King of Spain without the regard due to his person or place he expressed himself so generously that the Spanish Courtiers trembled and the King Declared That he would not interrupt his pleasures with business at Lerma for any Ambassador in the world but the English nor for any English Ambassador but Don Juan 2.

That they aimed at the ruin of Church and State And viewing the state of the kingdom he advised That Leagues might be made abroad and that in this inevitable necessity all ways to raise money should be used that were lawful Wherefore he was one of those few that excluded the Indempnity by the Faction and had the honour to dye Banished for the best Cause and Master in those Forraign Countries where he suffered as nobly for the Crown of England in his latter days as he had acted honourably for it in his former When he never came off better than in satisfying the Spaniards about Tolleration reducing the whole of that affair to these two Maximes 1. That Consciences were not to be forced but to be won and reduced by the evidence of truth with the aid of Reason and in the use of all good means of Instruction and Perswasion 2. That the causes of Conscience wherein they exceed their bounds and grow to matter of Faction lose their nature and that Sovereign Princes ought diligently to punish those foul practices though over-laid with the fairer pretences of Conscience and Religion One of his Maximes for Treaty I think remarkable viz. That kingdoms are more subject to fear than hope and that it 's safer working upon them by a power that may awe the one than by advantages that may excite the other Since it 's another rule That States have no affection but interest and that all kindnesses and civilities in those cases are but oversights and weakness Another of his rules of Life I judge useful viz. That since no man is absolute in all points and since men are more naturally inclined out of envy to observe mens infirmities than out of ingenuity to acknowledge their merit he discovereth his abilities most that least discovereth himself To which I may add another viz. That it is not only our known duty but our visible advantage to ascribe our most eminent performances to Providence since it not only takes off the edge of envy but improves the reason of admiration None being less maliced or more applauded than he who is thought rather happy than able blessed than active and fortunate than cunning Though yet all the caution of his life could not avoid the envy of his advancement from so mean a beginning to so great honours notwithstanding that it is no disparagement to any to give place to fresh Nobility who ascend the same steps with those before them New being only a term saith one only respecting us not the world for what is was before us and will be when we are no more And indeed this personage considering the vanity and inconstancy of common applause or affronts improved the one and checked the other by a constant neglect of both Three things inraged the Faction against him 1. His attendance on his Majesty when Prince as his Secretary in his Journey to Spain 2. His activity in promoting the King's Revenue and Trade And 3. His great insight into the bottome of their Confederacy In the first whereof he acted only as a discreet Minister observing more Intrigues and offering several Considerations especially of address formality and caution that escaped greater persons In the second as a faithful Counsellor by the same token that he had the fairer quarter of some adversaries because in the management of the Revenue and the vacancy between the Lord Treasurer Weston's death and the Lord Treasurer Iuxon's advancement to that trust he had some misunderstanding with my Lord Arch-bishop of Canterbury And the King in an Express to the Queen Ian. 23. 1642. speaking of competitions for Offices hath these gracious syllables in behalf of

Let him hold it but by your Lordships favor not his own power A good way had he been constant to it the neglect whereof undid him for designing the promotion of Dr. Price to the Bishoprick of Armagh he moved it to the Duke who told him it was disposed of to Dr. Vsher. Whereupon he went his own way to advance that man and overthrew himself for then his Lord let him feel what he had threatned my Lord Bacon when he advanced him That if he did not owe his Preferment always to his favor he should owe his fall to his frown The peremptoriness of his judgment rendred him odious his compliance with Bristol suspected and his Sermon at King Iames's Funeral his tryal

his Chappel in Lincoln Colledge the Repairs of his Collegiate Church his Pensions to Scholars more numerous than all the Bishops and Noble-men besides his Rent Charges on all the Benefices in his gift as Lord Keeper or Bishop of Lincoln to maintain hopeful youth according to a Statute in that Case provided Take this remarkable instance of his Munificence that when Du Moulin came over he calleth his Chaplain now the Right Reverend Father in God Iohn Lord Bishop of Coventry and Litchfield and telleth him he doubted the good man was low wishing him to repair to him with some Money and his respects with assurance that he would wait upon him himself at his first leisure The excellent Doctor rejoyceth that he could carry him no less than twenty pounds The Noble Bishop replyed he named not the summe to sound his Chaplains minde adding that twenty pounds was neither fit for him to give nor for the Reverend Forreigner to receive Carry said he an hundred pounds He is Libelled by common fame for unchaste though those that understood the privacies and casualties of his Infancy report him but one degree removed from a Misogonist Though to palliate his infirmities he was most compleat in Courtly addresses The conversableness of this Bishop with Women consisted chiefly if not only in his Treatments of great Ladies and Persons of honor wherein he did personate the compleatness of Courtesie to that Sex otherwise a Woman was seldom seen in his house which therefore had alwayes more Magnificence than Neatness sometimes defective in the Punctilio's and Niceties of Daintiness lying lower than Masculine Cognizance and as level for a Womans eye to espy as easie for her hand to amend He suffereth for conniving at Puritans out of hatred to Bishop Loud and for favoring Papists out of love to them yet whatever he offered King Iames when the Match went on in Spain as a Counsellor or whatever he did himself as a Statesman such kindness he had for our Liturgy that he translated and Printed it at his own Cost into Spanish and used it in the Visitation of Melvin when sick to his own peril in the Tower and such resolution for Episcopacy that his late Majesty of blessed Memory said once to him My Lord I commend you that you are no whit daunted with all Disasters but are zealous in defending your Order Please it your Majesty replyed the Archbishop I am a true Welshman and they are observed never to run away till their Generall first forsakes them no fear of any flinching while your Majesty doth countenance our Cause His Extraction was Gentile and Antient as appeared from his Ancestors estate which was more than he could purchase without borrowing when at once Lord Keeper Bishop of Lincoln and Dean of Westminster His minde great and resolute insomuch that he controuled all other advices to his last to his loss in Wales and daunted Sir Iohn Cook as you may see in his Character to his honor in England His Wariness hath these Arguments 1. That he would not send the Seal to the King but under Lock and Key 2. That being to depute one to attend his place at the Coronation of King Charles the First he would not name his Adversary Bishop Laud to gratifie him nor yet any other to displease the King but took a middle way and presented his Majesty a List of the Prebendaries to avoid any exception referring the Election to his Majesty himself 3. That he proposed a partial Reformation of our Church to the Parliament to prevent an utter extirpation by it 4. That he exposed others to the censure of the Parliament 1625.
