This most worthy person who was younger brother to Sir Heneage Finch afterwards Earl of Nottingham and both the sons of Sir Heneage Finch brother to Thomas Earl of Winchelsey was bred in Grammar learning under Mr. Edw. Sylvester who taught in Allsaints Parish in Oxon and when at about 15 years of age he became Gent. Com. of the said Coll. of Balliol After he had taken one degree here he applied his mind to the study of physick but leaving the University when it was turn'd topsie turvie the next year by the Visitors he some time after travelled into Italy became Doctor of his family there at Padua as it seems and publick Reader of it in several places Afterwards he was made Consul of the English at Padua and prefer'd by all the Italians and Greeks tho himself much opposed it to be Syndick of that whole University an honour no English man ever had before In contemplation and memory of his excellent Government they did set up his Statue in marble and the great Duke invited by the fame of his learning and virtues did make him the public Professor at Pisa all Princes striving who should most honour a person so vastly above his years so knowing and meritorious After his Majesties restauration he returned to his native Country and giving a visit to Edw. E. of Clarendon L. Chancellour he was by him conducted to his Majesty and being by him presented as a rarity his Majesty no sooner saw but instantly confer'd upon him the honour of Knighthood Jun. 10. an 1661 as a person who abroad had in an high degree honoured his Country In 1665 he was sent Resident for his Maj. of Great Britaine with the Great Duke of Tuscany and upon his arrival at Florence Sir Bernard Gascoigne a known friend to the English nation did with an undeniable civility press him to take a quarter at his own house till he should be farther provided which he accordingly accepted and the Duke was pleased to employ the said Sir Bernard to his Majesties Resident with such notices and respects as he found then convenient In the end all things being agreed upon as to the manner and dignity of his reception the said Resident made his entry in a very noble coach being attended with an answerable train in rich Liveries and a great number of other coaches beside the whole Factory of Legorne who very kindly appeared in a handsome equipage to do him all possible honour Thus attended he went to the pallace and received Audience first from the Great Duke and two days after from the Dutchess and Prince acquitting himself with a singular grace throughout the whole Ceremony Afterwards he shewed himself dexterous and happy in his public Ministry as also in his private conversation whereby he gained to himself the esteem and good will of all men When he had continued there some years he returned and was sent Embassador to Constantinople and continued there with very great esteem also After he had quitted that office he returned to London and dying early in the morn of the 18 of Nov. 1682 being then Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians he was buried in the Chap. of Christs Coll. in Cambridge to which House he had been a great benefactor He had a brother named Francis Finch bred up also under E. Silvester was afterwards a Gent. Com. of Ball. Coll but leaving it without a degree went to London studied the Law and became a Barrister of one of the Temples but before he had long practised he died yet lives still in those several pieces of ingenuity he left behind him wherein he falls not short of the best of Poets And because Poeta est finitimus Oratori he might have proved excellent in that too having so incomparable a Precedent as his brother Sir Heneage Finch Among the several specimens of his Poetry which I have seen is a copy of verses before Will.

mention'd in sixteen hundred sixty and five and was buried in the Ch. yard there belonging to S. Maries Church aforesaid In his Rectory succeeded his Kinsman Tho. Ellis Bac. of Div. sometimes Fellow of Jesus Coll Son of Griffin Ellis of Dolbehman in Caernarvanshire who having been well vers'd in British Histories and a singular lover of Antiquities made many additionals to the Historie of Cambria published by Dav. Powell as I have before told you which being so done the book was licensed and put into the Press at Oxon. But by that time he had printed 20 sheets or more out came Percie Enderbie with his book entit Cambria triumphans c. Or antient and modern British and Welsh Historie Lond. 1661. fol. In which book Tho. Ellis finding that Enderbie had seized upon those materials that he had collected for the fabrick of his work he did desist from going any further and caused what had been printed of his work to be sold for wast paper He died at Dolbehman in the beginning of the year in Apr. 1673 and was buried in the Church belonging to that town As for Enderbie who was an Author of no considerable note as having not had that just education which is requisite for a genuine Historian hath done his work but very meanly being mostly a scribble from late Authors and gives not that satisfaction which curious men desire to know And therefore I am perswaded that had Ellis finished his work 't would have been more acceptable to Scholars and intelligent Persons as having had more opportunities and advantages by reason of his birth and a continual succession of his family in Wales to know such matters than Enderbie who was a stranger for he was born at or near to the City of Lincoln and knew little or nothing of Wales till he setled there by a clandestine Marriage with the Daughter of Sir Edw. Morgan of Lantarnam in Monmouthshire Baronet but upon some encouragement received from certain Gentlemen and from the Library at Lantarnam he undertook it partly for fame but more for money sake This Person who translated into English The Astrologer anatomiz'd or the vanity of Star-gazing Art discovered written by Benedict Pererius died at or near Carleon in Apr. 1670 leaving some other things as 't was said fit for the press but if they be no better than his Cambria triumphans 't is no matter if they suffer the same fate as the papers of Tho. Ellis did Besides the before-mention'd John Ellis was another of both his names and a writer bred in Cambridge and afterwards Vicar of Waddesdon in Bucks Father to Philip Ellis bred in Westminster School but in no University in England because he had changed his Religion for that of Rome consecrated a titular Bishop in the Chappel belonging to S. James house in Westminster on Sunday 6. of May 1688. MATTHEW GRIFFITH was born of gentile Parents in London became a Commoner of Brasn Coll. in the beginning of May 1615 aged 16 years or more took one degree in Arts as a member of Glouc. Hall then holy Orders and soon after became Lecturer of St. Dunstans Church in the West under the inspection as 't is said of Dr. John Donne whose favourite he was Afterwards he was made Rector of S. Mary Magd. near Old Fish-street in London by the presentation of the Dean and Chapt. of S. Paul where shewing himself a grand Episcoparian was in the beginning of the rebellion sequestred from his Rectory plundered and imprison'd in Newgate whence being let out he was forced to fly but taken and afterwards imprison'd in Peter-house At length getting loose thence he retired to the King at Oxon by virtue of whose letters he was actually created D. of D. in June 1643 and made one of his Chaplains Afterwards upon the declining of the Kings cause he returned to London and there by stealth read and continued prayers and other ordinances according to the Ch. of England to the poor Cavaliers during the Usurpation for which he suffer'd seven violent assaults as 't is said and five imprisonments the last of which was in Newgate in the beginning of the year 1660. After the Kings return he was restored to his Rectory was made Preacher to the honorable Societies of the Temples and Rector of Bladon near Woodstock in Oxfordshire but whether he was made a Prebend of a Church or a Dean which he much deserved I know not He hath written and published Several Sermons as 1 Sermon on Psal 37. ver 1. Lond. 1633. oct 2 Pathetical perswasion to pray for publick peace on Psal 122.6 Lond. 1642. qu. For several passages in which Sermon he suffered imprisonment 3 Sermon touching the power of the King on Eccles 8.4 Lond. 1643. qu. His name is not set to it but the general report then and after was that 't was his 4 The fear of God and the King pressed in a Serm. at Mercers Chappel 25. March 1660 on Prov. 24.21 Lond. 1660. qu. c. In which Serm. shewing himself too zealous for the Royal cause before Gen. George Monk durst own it was to please and blind the fanatical party imprison'd in Newgate but soon after released There was an answer made to this by John Milton entit Brief notes upon a late Sermon titled The fear of God c. Whereupon came out a little thing called No blind guides c. addressed to the Author in two sheets in Rog. Lestrange his Apologie Lond. 1660. qu. 5 Communion Serm. preached at Serjeants inn before the Judges on Rom. 12.4.5 Lond. 1661. qu. 6 Catholic Doctor and his spiritual Catholicon on 1. John 1.7 Lond. 1662. qu. 8 The Kings life-guard an anniversary Sermon preached to the honorable society of both the Temples 30. Jan. 1664. on 1. Sam. 26.9 Lond. 1665. qu. Besides which he hath others that are extant but such I have not yet seen as The Samaritan revived another called The blessed birth c. He hath also written Bethel or a forme for families in which all sorts of both sexes are so squared and framed by the word as they may best serve in their several places for useful pieces in Gods building Lond. 1654. qu. Brief historical account of the causes of our unhappy distractions and the only way to heal them Lond. 1660. oct This is added to a second edition of the Sermon called The fear of God and the King c. This most zealous and loyal Person departed this mortal life at Bladon before mention'd on the 14. of Octob. in sixteen hundred sixty and five and was buried in the Chancel of the Church there He had before broken a vein in the earnest pressing of that necessary point study to be quiet and follow your own business In the said Rectory of Bladon Woodstock being a Chappel of ease to it succeeded Henry Savage D. D. Master of Balliol Coll. of whom I shall make mention among these writers under the year 1672. THOMAS WARMESTRY son
Coll Winton Socius Obiit 19 Junii 1676 anno aetatis suae 59 Moerens conjux posuit hoc HENRY STUBBE the most noted person of his age that these late times have produced received his first breath in an obscure Village called Partney near Spilsbye in Lincolnshire on the 28 of Febr. an 1631 at which place his Father who was a Minister then lived but he being Anabaptistically inclin'd was forced to leave it and thereupon he with his Wife and Children went into Ireland and there at Tredagh he found an Employment which was if you 'll believe a nameless satyrical Author the Office of Beadle of the Beggars as being well acquainted with the executive part of Power at the Carts tail Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion in that Country in 1641 the Mother fled with our Author and another Child towards England and landing at Leverpoole in Lancashire they all beated it on the hoof thence to London where she gaining a comfortable subsistance by her needle sent her son Henry being then 10 years of age to the Coll. School at Westminster At that time Mr. Rich Busbie was the chief Master who finding the boy to have pregnant parts to a miracle did much favour and encourage him At length Sir Hen. Vane junior the same who was beheaded on Tower-hill 1662. coming casually into the school with Dr. Lamb. Osbaldeston he did at the Masters motion take a kindness to the said boy frequently reliev'd him with money and gave him the liberty to resort to his house and to fill that belly which otherwise had no sustenance but what one penny could purchase for his dinner and as for his breakfast he had none except he got it by making some bodies exercise Soon after Sir Henry got him to be a Kings scholar and his Master perceiving him to be beyond his years in proficiency he gave him money to buy books cloaths and his teaching for nothing In the beginning of the year 1649 Sir Henry got him to be sped for a Students place in Ch. Church where shewing himself too forward pragmatical and conceited being well stock'd with impudence at school was often kick'd and beaten And in the year after abusing the Censor morum Will. Segary that noted Disciplinarian in a speech that he utter'd was for so doing and his impudence in other respects whipt by him in the publick refectory The same year the Oath called the Engagement being fram'd by the then Parliament was some time after sent to the University by him 'T was I saith he that brought the Engagement down to Oxon though I took it net being then an Undergraduat and having got Dr. S. F. Sam. Fell as it should seem and Dr. R. Reynolds to be turned out I saved the remains of the Cavaliers of Ch. Ch. and Queens Coll and gave them opportunities to live securely and educate others in their principles c. While he continued Undergraduate it was usual with him to discourse in the publick Schools very fluently in the Greek Tongue as it was at the same time with one John Pettie of Balliol afterwards of Queens Coll and others whose names are forgotten But since the Kings restauration we have had no such matters which shews in some part that Education and Discipline were more severe then as indeed they were than after when Scholars were given more to liberty and frivolous studies After he had taken the degree of Bach. of Arts and determined he went into Scotland and served in the Wars there for the Parliament from 1653 to 1655. Upon his return he took the degree of Master and in the beginning of the year following an 1657 he was upon the death of Mr. Franc. Yonge of Oriel Coll prefer'd upon the motion made of Dr. Joh. Owen Dean of Ch. Ch. to Mr. Thom. Barlow the Head-keeper of the Bodleian Library to be the second-keeper of the same Which Office he holding three years being all that time much favoured by the Head-keeper did by the benefit of a prodigious memory most wonderfully advantage himself in several sorts of Learning At length Dr. E. Reynolds being restored to his Deanery of Ch. Ch. in the latter end of 1659 a little before which time viz. in Feb. Stubbe was complained of in the Parliam house as one that palliated in print Sir Henry Vane's wickedness he not only ejected him from his Students place in the said house but found means to remove him from the Library and especially for this reason that he had written and published a most pestilent book called A light shining out of darkness wherein are many things said against the Universities and Clergy But if you 'll believe the Author he 'll tell you that that book which he calls the Invidious Queries was written to terrifie the Presbyterians and make them more complacential yet withall protests that they contained no tenets of his for he knew they were not defensible against the learned and judicious Episcoparians tho they had force and address enough against the more ignorant Presbyterians but were written to excuse those who had made those to be their Assertions which were his doubts and this he declared in the Preface to that book He tells us also that what he wrot in that book and others was against the Presbyterian Clergy the Presbyterian Universities and the Usurpations of Oliver and Richard After his Ejection he retired to Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire to practise the Faculty of Physick which he for some years had studied and after the Kings restauration he made early and voluntary Applications to Dr. Geor. Morley for his Protection in his retirement assuring him of an inviolable passive Obedience which was all he could or would pay till the Covenant was renounced When the restauration of the Bishops was made he at the first motion of the said Dr. Morley then his Diocesan received confirmation at his hands and soon after took occasion to publish a translation concerning the arts of Grandure and Submission which I shall anon mention and in the Dedication thereof to make this mention of himself I have at length removed all the Umbrages I ever laid under I have joyned my self to the Church of England not only upon account of its being publickly imposed which in things indifferent is no small consideration as I learned from the Scottish Transactions at Perth but because it is the least defining and consequently the most comprehensive and fitting to be national In the year following he took a journey to the Island of Jamaica being designed Physitian of that place by his Majesty who as he saith honored him with that title In which place having been mostly sick during his abode there he would have otherwise advanced himself much in the knowledge thereof and in experiments and things philosophical For which reason also it was why he did not accept of an invitation to go to Mexico and Peru to practise his Faculty there After his
for the King intended it for him conditionally he would conform Dr. Frewen had the benefit of that too all the fines for renewing and for the filling up lives to his very great profit besides what he got from York At length Mr. Baxter the Coryphaeus of the Presbyterian party refusing it least he in an high manner should displease the Brethren it was offer'd to Dr. Richard Baylie President of S. Johns College and Dean of Sarum who had been a very great sufferer for the Kings cause but he refusing it because Dr. Frewen had skim'd it it was thereupon confer'd on Dr. John Hacket of Cambridge as I shall anon tell you This Dr. Frewen who was accounted a general Scholar and a good Orator but hath nothing extant only a Latin Oration with certain verses on the death of Prince Henry for his Moral Philosophy Lectures are not yet made publick died at his Mannour of Bishops Thorp near York on the 28 day of March in sixteen hundred sixty and four and was buried on the third day of May following under the great east window of the Cathedral Church of S. Peter in York Soon after was erected a splendid monument over his grave with an inscription thereon which being too large for this place shall now for brevity sake be omitted His Father John Frewen before mention'd was a learned Divine and frequent preacher of his time and wrot 1 Fruitful instructions and necessary doctrine to edifie in the fear of God c. Lond. 1587 in tw 2 Fruitful instructions for the general cause of reformation against the slanders of the Pope and League c. Lond. 1589. qu. 3 Certain choice grounds and principles of our Christian Religion with their several expositions by way of questions and answers c. Lond. 1621. in octav and other things He died in 1627 about the latter end and was buried in Nordiam Church leaving then behind these Sons viz. Accepted before mention'd Thankful Stephen Joseph Benjamin Thomas Samuel John c. which John seems to have succeeded his Father in the Rectory of Nordiham but whether the said Father was educated in Oxon I cannot yet tell Qu. As for Dr. Hacket before mention'd who was an eminent person in his time for learning and a publick spirit I shall now take this opportunity to speak at large of him tho I have partly mention'd him already in the Fasti under the year 1616. p. 824 and elsewhere in the first volume Born therefore he was in the Strand near Exeter-house in the Parish of S. Martin in the Fields within the Liberty of Westminster on the first day of Sept. 34. Elizab. Dom. 1592. His Father was Andr. Hacket of Putferin in Scotland a senior Burgess of the City of Westminster and afterwards of the Robes to Prince Henry who being a zealous Protestant took great care to breed up this his only Son to that religion When he was very young therefore he put him to the Coll. School at Westminster and his Master Mr. Ireland finding in him a great propensity to learning was very kind to him as also was Dr. Lanc. Andrews the Dean of the Ch. there who in the necessary absence of the Master being accustomed to come into the School and examine the boys took this youth into his particular favour and continued it to him as long as the Bishop lived Being made ripe for the University he was in the year 1608 with the pious Mr. George Herbert elected to go to Trinity Coll. in Cambridge by the favour of Dr. Tho. Nevill Master of that Coll who told his Father when he addressed to him about his Son that he should go to Cambridge or else he would carry him upon his back and being there entred he was put under the tuition of Dr. Edw. Simson author of Chronicon ab exordio mundi c. Soon after he was so much noted for his painful studies sober life and great proficiency in learning that he was elected Fellow of that House assoon as he was by the rules thereof fit for the same Afterwards he grew into that credit that he had many Pupils put to his charge and those of the best families in England and then betaking himself to the study of Divinity he took holy Orders in 1618 from the hands of Dr. John King B. of London who had a great affection for him and expressed the same on divers occasions but above all others Dr. John Williams Bishop of Linc observing his great learning and knowledge in the Tongues chose him his Chaplain immediatly after the Great Seal was committed to his charge an 1621. Two years he spent in that Bishops service before his time was come to commence Bach. of Divinity and then beg'd leave to go to Cambridge to keep the publick Act an 1623 which he performed according to expectation and then returning to Court to his Master he prefer'd him to be Chaplain to K. Jam. 1 before whom he preaching several times to that learned Prince's good liking he was the next year by the recommendations of his Master presented to the Church of S. Andrew in Holbourn near London then within his Majesties disposal by reason of the minority of Thomas Earl of Southampton and suddenly after he was by the same means made Parson of Cheame in Surrey fallen likewise in his Majesties gift by the promotion of Dr. Ric. Senhouse to the Bishoprick of Carlile which two Livings he held till the most execrable rebellion broke out in 1642 and was constantly resident upon one of them In 1628 he commenced Doct. of Div. at Cambridge where he preached a Sermon highly applauded by the learned auditory of that time And returning to Holbourne and his duty there he became very famous for excellent preaching and decent order in his charge In 1631 his old Master the Bishop of Lincoln gave him the Archdeaconry of Bedford void by the death or resignation of Nich. Walker D. D. who had succeeded therein one George Eland an 1629.

Hyde the Kings Professor of Physick and Mr. Ben. Cooper the public Registrary of the Univ. of Oxon that they would search the Registers thereof and certifie them whether he the said Tho. Frankland ever took the degree of Doctor of Phys among them whereupon they upon their search finding no such matter did accordingly certifie them of it Afterwards they sent a Latine Letter to the Vice-chancellour Doctors Proctors and Masters of the University to acquaint them with the forgery of the said Thom. Frankland desiring them withall that they would certifie the President and Community of the Coll. of Physitians that he was no Doctor of Phys of their University which they accordingly did in Nov. 1677. However this being a just reason for his ejection yet notwithstanding by the connivance of the Seniors of the said College he did continue afterwards among them but lost much of his Credit and Practice too as I have heard This person who was esteemed a good Scholar while he continued in Oxon hath written and published The Annals of K. James and K. Charles the first containing a faithful History and impartial account of the great affairs of State and transactions of Parliament in England from the tenth of K.

The redemption of Captives 2. The conversion of Recusants 3. The undeceiving of seduced Sectaries and that he kept three diaries one for the transactions of his own life another for the publick affairs of the Church and Kingdom and a third for the remarkable passages of providence that hapned in the World The see of S. David continuing void till after the restauration of K. Ch. 2 it was then supplied by Dr. Will. Lucy as I shall tell you under the year 1677.

Taverner Gent which he afterwards by his will gave to his Nephew Peter Mews About that time he was Chaplain to Pr. Henry and afterwards to Pr. Charles which last he much displeased in two matters first that in a certain harangue which he occasionally delivered in the beginning of Apr. 1622 he compared Frederick King of Bohemia to a Lamb and Count Spinola to a bloody Wolf which also displeased the King and secondly that in some little particulars he expressed himself an enemy to his marriage with the Infanta of Spain For these matters he had like to have lost his Spiritualities had not his Maj. K. Jam. 1. highly valued him for his learning In 1624 Nov. 10. he was installed Dean of Glocester in the place of Dr. Rich. Senhouse promoted to the See of Carlile and after the said Kings death being made Chaplain to his Successor Ch. 1. had the Deanery of S. Pauls Cathedral confer'd on him an 1631. Afterwards upon the translation of Dr. Williams to York in 1641 he was nominated by the King Bishop of Lincoln purposely to please the Puritan and was soon after consecrated But the rebellion breaking out the next year occasion'd by a prevalent party in both Houses of Parliament who silenced the Bishops and caused their Lands to be sold this holy Bishop received little or no profit from the Lands belonging to his See only trouble and vexation as a Bishop Afterwards he retired to Lambourne spent there for the most part the remainder of his days and justly obtained this character from a learned Bishop that none was more mild modest and humble yet learned eloquent and honest than Bishop Winniffe He died in the summer time in sixteen hundred fifty and four and was buried in the Church at Lambourne Soon after was erected a comly monument over his grave on which 't is said that he was made Bishop of Lincoln 1642 Ex eorum numero Episcoporum quibus incumbebat nutantis episcopatus molem pietatis ac probitatis suae fulcimine sustentare c.

Johns Coll. in Cambridge to which afterwards in his latter days he was a benefactor he went beyond the Seas and spent the rest of his youth in martial discipline under the command of Horatio Lord Vere among whose forces he trailed a Pike in the Low Countries was at the considerable action of the taking of Busse in Flanders but had no command while he was there Afterwards he retired to his Fathers house and took to Wife Anne the Daughter and Coheir of the said Lord Vere by whom he had issue Mary born 3.

In the beginning of the rebellion in 1642 when his Majesty was forced to raise a Guard at York for the defence of his Person this Sir Thomas Fairfax who was entrusted by his Country to prefer a petition to his Majesty the scope whereof was to beseech him to hearken to his Parliament and not raise Forces he did accordingly deliver it but his Majesty refusing it as a Parliamentarian Writer tells us he press'd it with that instance and intention following the King so close therewith in the Field call'd Heyworth-moor in the presence of near a hundred thousand People of the County the like appearance was ever hardly seen in Yorkshire that he at last did tender the same upon the pomel of his saddle But finding no propitiatory as the said author tells us and seeing a War could not be avoided he early paid the vows of his martial education and as soon as the unhappy troubles brake forth he took a Commission under his Father Ferdinando before mention'd whose timely appearance and performances for the Rebels in the North deserves a story of it self He had not served the Parliament in lower commands long but that the great Masters at Westminster did vote him their General 31. Dec. 1644 at which time they cashier'd Robert Earl of Essex of that high command with whom they had sworn 12. July 1642 to live and dye This making of a new General was done when the Parliament ordered their Army to be new modell'd So that victory in a manner being prepared to his hand he vigorously proceeded and what he did in a short time for the blessed cause which is too much here to be set down let the author of Englands recovery c. tell you who tho in the latter end of that book p. 321. he doth highly characterize him especially for his religion but little for policy yet a severe Presbyterian will tell you that he was a Gentleman of an irrational and brutish valour fitter to follow another mans counsel than his own and obnoxious to Cromwell and the Independent faction upon whose bottom he stood for his preferment it having been no dishonour to him to become the property of another mans faction c. adding these matters but what will not a fool in
lately made Principal of the said Coll. by the Committee and Visitors was then actually created Doct. of Div. He was a severe and good Governour as well in his Vicechancellourship as Principality continued in his Coll. till the Kings return and then being discharg'd by the Kings Commissioners to make room for Dr. Thom.

Henry Langley Master of Pembr Coll was created the same day This person who was originally Fellow of the same Coll was made Master thereof by order of Parliament 26. Aug. 1647 and established therein by the Visitors on the 8. of Octob. following he being then one of the six Ministers appointed by Parliament to preach at S. Maries and elsewhere in Oxon to draw off the Scholars from their Orthodox Principles In the beginning of the year following he was made Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. G. Morley ejected by the Visitors but being forced to leave his two places after his Majesties restauration he retired to Tubney near Besills-Lee and Abendon in Berks where he instructed the sons of dissenting brethren in Academical Learning as 't was usually reported and oftentimes preached in Conventicles at Abendon of which place his father Thomas Langley had been a Shoomaker He died about the 10 of Sept. 1679 and was buried in S. Helens Church in Abendon One of both his names Minister of Treswell in Nottinghamshire hath written and published The Chariot and Horsemen of Israel A discourse of Prayer c. Lond. 1616. oct and other things but whether he was ever of Oxon I cannot tell About the same time when the two last persons were created it was granted to Henry Cornish Bach. of Div. and Canon of Ch. Ch that he if he please might be actually created Doct. of Div. but he refused it and was not This person who was Son of Will. Cornish of Ditthet in Somersetshire was originally a poor Scholar of New Inn and an Assistant to the Butler there to put on or enter battles in the buttery book and as he had been puritannically educated at home so more under Dr. Rogers Principal of the same Inn. Afterwards he took the degr in Arts and became a puling Preacher left Oxon when it was garrison'd for his Majesty preached among the Godly party and was appointed by the Parliament with Langley before mention'd Corbet Cheynell c. to preach the Scholars into obedience to the then Powers For which his service he was made Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. Rob. Sanderson ejected After his Majesties restauration he was removed and preached in these parts as a Nonconformist till the Five-mile-Act was made and then retiring to Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire where he was patroniz'd by Sir Philip Harcourâ— a favourer of such like persons as having been educated in their Principles by one of the Parl. Generals named Sir Will. Waller who had married his mother he lived and carried on the trade there for many years and took all occasions to preach elsewhere when the Indulgences for tender Consciences were granted and did sometimes after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown preach in an antiquated Dancing-School just without the north Gate of Oxon to which place many people did usually resort Afterwards this Meeting was translated to a house in S. Ebbes Parish where it now 1691 continueth and is chiefly carried on by a certain person who has received some education in Cambridge c. In the year 1690 Mr. Cornish left Stanton Harcourt and translated himself to a market Town in Oxfordshire called Bister where he now holds forth So that he who had been a licensed Preacher by the Blessed Parliament as it was by the Brethren so called and had been Canon of Ch. Ch and much respected by those of his perswasion while he lived in Oxon for a godly man doth now in his old age being about 80 years old preach in a Barn in the said Town of Bister for profit sake to silly women and other obstinate people such is the poor spirit of the person Feb. 16. Edward Hinton was then actually created Doctor of the said faculty by the favour of the Delegates of the University This person who was son of a father of both his names of Marlborough in Wilts Minister of Gods word was elected Prob. Fellow of Mert.

Pococke Canon of Ch. Ch but he being soon after turned out for denying the Engagement he did not then take that degree 4 Ralph Button M. or A Orator of the Univ. and Canon of Ch. Ch who being newly married or upon the point of Marriage refused to be at the charge and so continued in the degree of Master all his life time This person who was the son of Robert Button of Bishopston in Wiltshire was originally of Exeter Coll. where being put under the tuition of a puritannical Tutor he made so great a progress in philosophical and other Literature that when he was Bachelaur of Arts he was recommended by Dr. Prideaux his Rector to Sir Nath. Brent Warden of Merton Coll to stand for a Fellowship there Whereupon an Election being appointed in 1633 very many stood and twelve were chosen Probationer Fellows whereof the said Ralph Button being one
Coll. in Cambridge of which he was elected Scholar an 1636 where by the progress and continuance of his wit it appeared that two things were joyn'd in it which seldom meet together viz. that it was ripe and lasting In the beginning of 1643 he being then M. of A was among many others ejected his Coll. and University whereupon retiring to Oxon he setled in S. Johns Coll and under the name of a Scholar of Oxon he published the same year a Poem entit A Satyre The Puritan and the Papist In that House he prosecuted his Academical Studies with the like success as before and was not wanting in his duty in the War it self whereby he became acquainted with the great men of the Court and the Gown After he had left Oxon which was a little before the surrender thereof for the use of the Parliament he went to Paris where falling into the acquaintance of Dr. Stephen Goffe a Brother of the Oratory he was by him prefer'd and plac'd in the family of the noble and munificent Henry Lord Jermyn afterwards E. of S. Alban who having a great and singular respect for him he was by his most generous endeavours design'd to be Master of the Savoy Hospital which tho granted to his high merit by both the Charles's 1. and 2 yet by certain persons enemies to the Muses he lost that place He was absent from his native Country about 10 years which were for the most part spent either in bearing a part in the distresses of the Regal family or in labouring in the affairs thereof In the year 1656 he returned into England and was for a time brought into trouble but afterwards complying with some of the men then in power which was much taken notice of by the Royal party he obtained an order to be created Doctor of Physick Which being done to his mind whereby he gained the ill will of some of his friends he went into France again having made a copy of verses on Olivers death where continuing till towards the time of the blessed restauration of K. Ch. 2 he returned but then not finding that preferment confer'd on him which he expected while others for their money carried away most places he retired discontented into Surrey where he spent the remaining part of his days in a private and studious condition mostly at Chertsie where he had a lease of a Farm held of the Queen procured for him by George Duke of Bucks from the Earl of S.

Coll where their successors do yet remain Mr. Geddes was afterwards the only Writer of the said four persons and therefore he being now Chanc. of the Church of Salisbury ought to be remembred hereafter among the Oxford Writers Creations Jun. 7. Joh. Saumers of Pemb. Coll. was created D. of D. by vertue of the Letters of the Chanc. of the University which say that Mr. Joh. Saumers Dean of Guernsey is a person that hath done his Maj. and the Church very good and acceptable Service particularly in his prudent and successful endeavours in bringing the misled Subjects of that Island to be conformable to the Liturgy of the Church of Engl. during the space of 10 years c. On the 19 of Apr. going before he was installed Canon of Windsore in
which he delivered with much boldness gained him the esteem of his Auditors who for the most part charm'd with his eloquence and full of compassion for his misery soon cast about to put him into a condition of appearing in a decent habit and subsisting After this he was much favoured by some and as much hated by the Roman Catholicks particularly by St. Germaine a Jesuit in London who pretending to assassinate him as Luzancy gave out was a Proclamation issued forth for his protection and the taking of S. Germaine to bring him to condign punishment After this Luzancy's advancement being powerfully carried on the B. of London took care to have him ordained with a design of putting him in a condition of becoming one day a great Defender of the Church of England All which being done in a hurry 't was to little purpose for the Pastors and several Masters of Families of the Church at the Savoy to cry out against But while these things were in doing a Minister of the Church of England belonging to the French Church at the Savâ—y named Rich. du Marescq full of zeal to the truth printed a Sermon which he had preached during these bustles and in the preface to it doth give a true and just character of Luzancy not for his goodness but baseness lying dissimulation c. Which Serm. and Pref. as soon as they appeared in publick the B. of London caused all the copies to be seized and the author to be cited to the Bish Court interdicted the function of his charge because he refused to ask God forgiveness his neighbour the Church his Superior and to sign and seal a Declaration and at length openly suspended him for reasons reserved to the Bishop and his Officers After he had continued in that condition for some time he was at the intreaties of Dr. Jo. Durell and Monsieur Ruvigny who had a mind to oblige the Bishop restored to the exercise of his charge upon a bare acknowledgment that he was in the wrong to print his preface without license from his Superior or any else in authority c. After the following Christmas our author Luzancy went to Oxford where by vertue of several Letters of commendation he was received into Ch. Ch. by the Dean there had a Chamber allowed to him and such diet that belongs to Master-students at the charge I think of the Bishop of London On the 26 of Jan. following there was a Convocation of Doctors and Masters celebrated wherein the Letters of the Duke of Ormonde Chanc. of the University dat 2. Dec. were publickly read in his behalf which partly run thus This Gentleman Monsieur Luzancy was bred in the University of Paris in the Romish religion but having lately professed himself a member of the Church of England and given some testimonies of his adherence thereunto has made it his humble request for his encouragement to be recommended to the University for their favour in conferring upon him the degree of Master of Arts He has not his Testimonials from the University of Paris of the degree he took there but I doubt not when you shall discourse with him you 'll find him a person meriting that favour c. After the reading of that Letter Luzancy by the consent of the House was then actually created M. of A as I have before told you About the time of Easter in the beginning of Apr. 1676 was spread abroad by certain R. Catholicks a Pamphlet entit A Letter from a Gentleman at Lond. to his friend in the Country c. Printed at Lond in two sheets and an half in qu wherein are some of Luzancy's actions represented while he was in France but more while he was in England the Bishop of London and Dr. Franc. Durant de Brevall Preb. of Westm and Rochester sometimes a Capuchin Fryer reflected on severely and many things said which doth invalidate the K. Proclamation before mention'd At length some of the dispersers of that Pamph. it being discovered particularly Will. Rogers of Linc. Inn a zealous Proselyte for the R. Cath. cause he was seized on by a Messenger and brought before the Kings Council in Aug. following from whom receiving several checks and threatnings was at length released In the latter end of 1679 Luzancy left the University having before borrowed a considerable sum of money of one of the Chapl. of Ch. Ch. P. B. for whom he pretended kindness but he minding not the payment of he was sued for it by Law At the same time he became by the favour of the Bishop of London Vicar of Dover-Court in Essex to the Church of which place the Town of Harwich belongs so that he was Vicar of that also as well as of Dover-Court Soon after to prevent an unchast life he married a Gentlewoman in those parts where he was lately perhaps still living He hath written and pub 1 Serm. on the day of his abjuration at the Savoy 11.
