It is penned in a Juridic Stile and is now or at least lately was reserved as a choice Monument in the Cottonian Library Whether ever Printed I cannot tell At length after King Henry 7. who favoured his actions because he brought Grist to his Mill being dead his Successor King Henry 8. did for the Peoples satisfaction issue out his special Precept for the Execution of the said Dudley then a Prisoner in the Tower of London Whereupon he had his Head smitten off on Tower-Hill 28. Aug. 2. Henry 8. being the year of our Lord fifteen hundred and ten year 1510 leaving then behind him several Sons the eldest of which was John afterwards Duke of Northumberland Father to Ambrose Dudley Earl of Warwick and to Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester JOHN HOLTE called by some Holtigena was born in the County of Sussex and from being Usher of the School joyning to the common gate of S. Mary Magdalen College and Bachelaur of Arts was elected Probationer of the said College in 1490. and within the compass of an year following was admitted true and perpetual Fellow thereof Afterwards he took the Degree of Master of Arts and carried on the profession of Pedagogy so zealous that by his admirable way of teaching the Faculty of Grammar many from his School were transplanted to several Colleges and Halls in this University that were afterwards eminent in the Nation Since which time and that of King Henry 7. hath been a singular care of Royal Authority and of worthy learned men to lay a solid Foundation of all kind of Learning by producing a right Grammar-Institution For tho before the said King's time a great part of our English men had little leisure and less care of good Arts yet when the Houses of York and Lancaster were united by the Counsel of Dr. John Moreton Bishon of Ely and the times thereupon became more peaceable our Author Holte made a Grammar Entit Lac Puerorum c. Printed about the year 1497. and Dedicated to the said Moreton then Archbishop of Canterbury Which Grammar Printed also with the Works of John Stanbridge being the first of note or most fit for use that was ever Printed in England was much used and taken into the hands of all sorts of Scholars Afterwards the said Stanbridge and his Scholar Robert Whittington with others did put forth divers Treaties of Grammar but more especially Dr. John Colet the learned Dean of S. Paul's Cathedral who compiled the Eight parts of Speech and William Lilye the first Master of S. Paul's School an English Syntax whereunto Cardinal Thomas Wolsey did afterwards prefix an Epistle and directions for teaching the eight Classes or Forms in Ipswich School The learned Erasmus also intreated by Dr. Colet to revise Lilyes Syntax made a new Latin Syntax in 1513. upon which Henry Pryme a School-Master in a certain Monastery and Leonard Cox of Carleon in Monmouthshire Commented the former in 1539. and the other in 1540. But these things being spoken by the by I shall only say that our Author Holte being esteemed the most eminent Grammarian of his time there is no doubt but that he did Compose other things belonging to Grammar which perhaps are now quite lost and past recovery as the time of his death and place of burial is One Holte who was Master to Sir Thomas More Lord Chancellor of England did publish an Accedence and Grammar about the same time that Lac Puerorum was made extant Which Holte is in the Auction Catalogue of Mr. Richard Smith sometimes Secondary of the Poultry Compter written Nich. Holt. Qu. whether not mistaken for John NICHOLAS MAGWIRE was born in Idron within the Kingdom of Ireland Educated among the Oxonians and took one or more Degrees Afterwards returning to his Country he was made Prebendary of Hillard in the Diocess of Laighlin being then and after accounted famous among his Country-men for his great Learning and constant Preaching among them In 1490. he was by provision from the Pope promoted to the Bishoprick of Laighlin aged about thirty one years Where being settled he began to write several Books but being untimely snatch'd away by death finished only these following Chronicon Hiberniae of which Thaddeus Dowling made use when he Composed his Annales Hiberniae and Vita Milonis de Rupe Episc quondan Laighliensis This our Author Magwire year 1512 died in fifteen hundred and twelve 4. Hen. 8. and was buried as it seems in his own Church of Laighlin In his Bishoprick succeeded one Thomas Halsey Doctor of both the Laws whom I shall remember in his proper place among the Bishops that have received their Education in Oxon. MAURITIUS de PORTU otherwise called O-Fihely who in his time was for his great Learning and Virtue called and written by many The Flower of the World was born in the County of Cork near to a celebrated Port called Baltimore in Ireland where the antient Seat of the O-Fihely's was placed instructed for some time in Grammaticals and Trivials in this Universi●● and not unlikely in other Learning after he had taken upon him the Habit of S. Francis in the Convent of the Brethren of that Order situated in the South Suburb of Oxon wherein the person that he admired beyond all the World John Duns Scotus had spent some years in Religion and Learning and in the Library of which place many of his Books had been Religiously preserved From Oxon he Travelled into Italy and setling in the University of Padöua or Padua then flourishing in Learning made very great proficiency in Philosophy in the Monastery of the Franciscans called S. Antony and at riper years applied himself severely to the study of Metaphysicks School-Divinity and above all to the Doctrin of John Duns whom he had in so great veneration that he was in a manner besotted with his Subtilities After he had taken the Degree of Doctor of Divinity in which Faculty he for some time Read with great applause among the Brethren he became known to and much respected by Pope Julius 2. who for a reward of his Learning and Vertues conferred on him the Archbishoprick of Tuam in Ireland in the year 1506. In 1512. he was present at the two first Sessions of the Council of Lateran and in the year following minding to return to his Native Country he obtained a Faculty from the Pope of granting Indulgences to all such that should retire to Tuam to hear the first Mass that he should Celebrate there but at his arrival at Galloway being overtaken with a deadly Disease died before he could Celebrate it His Works which have been much admired and

I cannot take to be the same with the former because he of Ch. Ch. seems then to be Master of Arts. As for our R. Bristow he took the Degree of Bach. of Arts in the beginning of the Year 1559 that also of Master in 1562 and was Junior of the Act celebrated 13 of July the same Year at which time he was entred in the Proctors book as a member of Ch. Ch. About that time having obtained great credit among the Academians for his admirable speeches spoken while Junior of the Act he applyed himself to the study of Divinity became noted in the University for his acute parts and being recommended therefore to that singular lover of learning Sir Will. Petre was by him promoted to one of his Scholarships or Fellowships in Exeter Coll. in July 1567 where exercising himself much in Theology did in a set disputation in the Divinity School put the Kings Professor L. Humphrey to a non-plus as those of our Authors perswasion do report At length being convinced that he had erred in his opinion left the Coll. in 1569 his Religion and the Kingdom went to Lovaine and became acquainted with Dr. William Allen who made him the first Moderator or Prefect of studies in the English Coll. by him founded at Doway took upon him the Priesthood being the first in that Coll. that did so and read the publick lecture of Divinity there In 1573 his said Scholarship or Fellowship of Ex. Coll. being pronounced void because he had been absent several years John Petre Son of Sir W. Petre before-mention'd did put into his room Mr. Oliver Whiddon Archdeacon of Totness 27. Oct. but resigned it in the latter end of Nov. following Afterwards upon Dr. Allens instituting another Seminary at Rheimes Bristow was sent for and the care of that place was committed to him also in 1579 while another was his substitute at Doway About which time he took the Degrees in Divinity partly at Doway and partly at Lovaine and became famous in those parts for his Religion and learning He hath written A brief treatise of diverse plaine and sure wayes to find out the truth in this doubtful and dangerous time of heresie containing sundry motives unto the Cath. Faith or considerations to move a Man to believe the Catholicks and not the Hereticks Antw. 1599. in tw and before at another place Dr. W. Allens testimony of this treatise is prefixed dat 30. Apr. 1574 wherein he saith that the said book contains with great perspicuity order and art divers most excellent works whereby to discern in Religion the true judgment of the Catholick Church from the false vanity of the Hereticks c. that it is also in all points Catholick learned and worthy to be read and printed These motives were answered by Dr. Will. Fulke of Cambridge Reply to Will Fulke in defence of Dr. Allens scrowle of articles and book of Purgatory Lov. 1580. qu. Whereupon Dr. Fulke came out with a rejoinder the Year following Anti-Heretica Motiva omnibus catholicae doctrinae orthodoxis cultoribus pernecessaria Atrebat 1608. in two tomes in qu. This large book which contains most if not all the former motives was translated into Lat. by Thom. Worthington a Secular Priest afterwards a Jesuit an 1606. and by him published at Arras two years after Demands 51 in number to be proposed by Catholicks to the Hereticks Several times printed in oct This also was answered in a book entit To the seminary Priests late come over some like Gentlemen c. Lond. 1592. qu. A defence of the Bull of P. Pius 5. He also collected and for the most part wrot Annotations on the New Testament translated into English at Rheimes And was also as it seems Author of Veritates aureae S. R. ecclesiae autoritatibus vet patrum c. Printed 1616. qu. for the name of R. Bristous Anglus is set to that Book At length after our Author had lived at Rheimes about two years went privately into England by his Physicians advice for healths sake in 1581 and going to London was kindly received by and entertain'd in the Family of one Bellamie Rob. or Jerome Bellamie as it seems a sincere and constant Lover of R. Catholicks and their Religion But his distemper being gone too far dyed the year following and was by Bellamie buried pivately year 1582 but where unless near to Harrow on the hill in Middlesex where the Bellamies had a seat and Lands I know not In the Year 1682 I received a note from one of the English Coll. in Doway whereby I was instructed that Rich. Bristow was made D. of D. at Doway from whence he was sent into England where he died not far from London 18. Oct. 1581. But this note I reject because that what I have said already of his death I had from the writings of one that knew him viz. Tho. Worthington who published his Motives GREGORY MARTIN received his first breath at Macksfield near to Winchelsey in Sussex was put in one of the original Scholars of S. Johns Coll. by the Founder thereof Sir Tho. White in 1557 where going thro the usual forms of Logick aad Philosophy with incredible industry took the degree of Master of Arts 1564. Afterwards he was taken into the Family of Thomas the great and mighty Duke of Norfolk to be Tutor to his Son the Lord Philip afterwards Earl of Surrey and his Brethren where continuing for some years it hapned in that time that the said Duke came to Oxon and giving a visit to S. Johns Coll. had an eloquent Speech delivered before him by one of that Society wherein of Gr. Martin he said thus Habes illustrissime Dux Hebraeum nostrum Graecum nostrum Poetam nostrum decus gloriam nostram After he had done with his service in the said Dukes Family and received sufficient rewards for his pains he went beyond the Seas and renouncing his Religion openly for before he was but a Catholick in private he retired to Doway where applying his mind to the studies of Divinity was made a Licentiat in that Faculty in 1575. Afterwards going into Italy he went to Rome to do his Devotions to the places and Temples of the Apostles but making no long stay there he went to Rheimes in France where fixing his station in the English Coll. became publick Professor and one of the Divinity-Readers there He was a most excellent Linguist exactly read and vers'd in the Sacred Scriptures and went beyond all of his time in humane literature whether in Poetry or Prose As for those things he hath written they have been and are taken into the hands of Men of his profession but all that I have seen of them are only these A treatise of Schisme shewing that all Catholicks ought in any wise to abstaine altogether from heretical Conventicles viz. their Prayers Sermons c.

he was buried in the Chappel or Cloyster belonging to the said House if the Author saith true that he died therein THOMAS STERNHOLD was in all likelihood born in Hampshire but whether educated in Wykeham's School near Winchester is as yet doubtful Sure it is that he having spent some time in this University left it without the honor of a Degree and retiring to the Court of K. Hen. 8. was made Groome of the Robes to him and when that King died he left him in his Will 100 Marks Afterwards he continued in that office under K. Ed. 6. at which time he was in some esteem in the Royal Court for his grave vein in Poetry and other trivial Learning But being a most zealous Reformer and a very strict liver he became so scandaliz'd the amorous and obscene Songs used in the Court that he forsooth turn'd into English meeter 51 of Davids Psalms and caused musical notes to be set to them thinking thereby that the Courtiers would sing them instead of their sonnets but did not only some few excepted However the Poetry and Musick being admirable and the best that was made and composed in those times they were thought fit afterwards to be sung in all Parochial Churches as they do yet continue All those Psalmes which he put into rhime have the Letters T. S. set before to distinguish them from others What other Poetry or what Prose this our Poet Sternhold hath composed and left behind I know not nor any thing else of him only that he died in London or Westminster year 1549 in Fifteen hundred forty and nine By his last Will and Testament dat 22. Aug. and proved 12. of Sept. an 1549 wherein he is stiled Groome of the Kings Majesties Robes it appears that he died seized of Lands in Slacksted in Hampshire of the Farmes of Conynger Willersley and Holgreaves in the same County and of Lands in the Parish of Bodmin and elsewhere in Cornwall Contemporary with Sternhold was Joh. Hopkyns who is stiled to be Britanicarum Poetarum sui temporis non infimus as indeed by the generality living in the Reign of Ed. 6. he was so if not more esteemed He turn'd into Meeter 58 of David's Psalms which are to this day sung in Churches and in all editions of the said Psalms his which he translated hath set before them the two Letters J. H. Whether this Poet who was living in the 3. and 4. of Phil. and Mary Dom. 1556 and after was of this University of Oxon I dare not yet affirm However the Reader is to know that one Joh. Hopkyns was admitted Bach. of Arts thereof 36. Hen. 8. Dom. 1544. which he compleated the same Year by Determination I find also one Job Hopkyns of Waldingfeild in Suffolk Clerk who dying in Octob. 1570 was buried in the Church-yard there leaving then behind him a Son to be brought up in learning Besides these two I find others to have had hands in making the said Psalms to run in meeter as 1 Will. Whittyngham afterwards the unworthy Dean of Durbam whom I shall hereafter mention and 2 Tho. Norton of Sharpenhaule or Sharpenhoe in Bedfordshire a forward and busie Calvinist in the beginning of Qu. Elizabeth's Reign who then was accounted eminent for his Poetry and making of Tragedies as I shall tell you in Tho. Sakvile under the Year 1608. This T. Norton who seems to have been a Barrester made 27 of the said Psalms of David to run in rhime but whether he was educated in this University is to me as yet uncertain As for other works of his that are published which are now in a manner lost are these 1 An Epistle to the Queens poor deceived Subjects of the North Country drawn into Rebellion by the Earls of Northumberland and Westmorland Lond. 1569. oct 2 A warning against the dangerous practices of the Papists c. 2 A Bull granted by the Pope to Dr. Harding c. and others by reconcilement and assoiling of English Papists to undermine faith and allegiance to the Queen with a true declaration of the intention c. 4 A disclosing of the great Ball and certain calves that he hath gotten and especially the monster Bull that roared at my Lord Bishops gate 5 An addition declaratory to the Bulls with a searching of the maze All which five pieces were printed at Lond. in oct an 1569.

Crowley as I shall tell you when I come to him I find one Joh. Heron of Chiselhurst in Kent to have been tampering much with Necromancy to the great affrightment of his Neighbors Whereupon being complained of to the higher Powers he was bound in a Bond of an 100 Marks an 1540 not to practice again Necromancy Astronomy Calculations and other experiments c.

Oxon. 1589. in a large thick qu. It was the first Dictionary that had the English before the Latin epitomizing the learnedst and choicest Dictionaries that were then extant and was beheld as the best that was then in use But that part of it which had the Latin before the English was swallowed up by the greater attempts of Franc. Holyoake who saith that he designed and contrived it so before the Vocabularies or Dictionaries of Becman Funger and Martin came out notwithstanding it appears that he was beholding to them and made use of their materials in his Dictionary that he published an 1606. Besides the said Dictionary our author Rider hath also written A Letter concerning the news out of Ireland and of the Spaniards landing and present state there Lond. 1601. qu.

At length our learned Author discovering the sweating Sickness to grow upon him he retired to his Lodgings that he had built in the Monastery of the Carthusians at Sheen near to Richmond in Surrey where spending the little remainder of his days in Devotion surrendred up at length his last breath to him that first gave it year 1519 on the 16. of September in Fifteen hundred and nineteen Afterwards his body was carried to London and by the care of his old decrepid Mother it was buried in the Cathedral Church of S. Paul nigh to the Image of S. W●gefort Soon after was a comly Monument set over his Grave near to the little one which he had set up in his life time between the Choire and the South Isle which Monument remaining whole and entire till 1666. was then consumed in the dreadful Conflagration that happened in the City of London But before that time it was carefully preserved in Effigie by the industrious Pen of Mr. since Sir William Dugdale in his History of S. Paul's Cathedral Printed at London in fol. 1658. In the last Will and Testament of the said Dr. Colet dated 22. Aug. and proved the 5. of October in 1519.

Constable of Flamburgh in Yorkshire Knight and Residentiary of the Church of Lincoln became Dean of the said Church in the Year 1514. who dying 15. Jul. 1528. recommended his Body to be buried in the Cathedral Church of our Lady of Lincoln near to the Corps of George Fitz-Hugh sometimes Dean thereof who was buried in the Body of the said Church What relation our Author Jo. Constable the Poet who was in great renown among learned Men in Fifteen hundred and twenty had to John Constable the Dean I cannot yet find In the Reign of Queen Elizabeth lived one Henry Constable a noted English Poet not unfitly ranked with Sir Edw. Dyer Chancellor of the most noble Order of the Garter a poetical Writer and of good esteem in the said Queens time as living in the 39 Year of her Reign The said Henry Constable who had spent some time among the Oxonian Muses was a great Master of the English Tongue and there was no Gentleman of our Nation had a more pure quick and higher delivery of conceit than he witness among all others that Sonnet of his before the poetical Translation called The Furies made by King James the First of England while he was King of the Scots He hath also several Sonnets extant written to Sir Phil.

Mary Magd. did exercise such an admirable way of teaching there that many were by him fitted for the University In 1507. he proceeded in Divinity and being afterwards a commoner for some time of University Coll. became so much known to and respected by Cardinal Wolsey who if I mistake not conferr'd some dignity on him that he was represented to the King as one of those most fit Persons in the University to encounter Mart. Luther Whereupon in the Year 1521. he being then Reader of the Cardinals Divinity Lecture which was by him founded in the University 3 or 4 Years before he wrot a Learned piece entit Tractatus contra doctrinam Martini Lutheri Whether Printed I know not sure I am that 't is commended for a good Book in one of our publick Registers What other Books he wrot I cannot tell nor when he died or where buried WILLIAM GROCYN a most singular light of learning in his time received his first breath in the City of Bristol in Somersetshire was educated in Grammaticals in Wykehams School near Winchester made true and perpetual fellow of New Coll. after he had served two Years of probation in 1467 and in 1479 being then M. of A. he was presented by the Warden and Society of that House to the Rectory of Newton Longvill in Bucks But his Residence being mostly in Oxon. the Society of Magd. Coll. made choice of him to be their Divinity Reade● about the beginning of the Reign of King Rich. 3. which King coming soon after to Oxon and taking up his lodging in that College he was pleased to hear our Author Grocyn and some others of that House dispute And being much delighted with their disputations especially with those of Grocyn which were in Divinity he did most graciously reward them But Grocyn leaving his Readers place in Magd. Coll. in the beginning of the Year 1488 being then accounted excellent in the Latin and Greek Tongues according to the then knowledge of them he did for the farther accomplishment of himself in those critical studies take a Journey into Italy where by the helps of Demetrius Calchondile and Politian he obtained his design So that returning into his own Country and at length to Oxon he became a Sojournor in Exeter Coll. in the Year 1491. or thereabouts took a Degree in Divinity at it seems taught and read the Greek Tongue to the Oxonians after that way which had not before I suppose been taught in their University became a familiar Friend of or rather Tutor to Erasmus and a Person in eminent renown for his learning Recens tunc ex Italiâ venerat Grocinus saith Stapleton qui primus eâ aetate Graecas literas in Angliam invexerat Oxoniique publicè professus fuerat à cujus sodali Thoma Lynacro Morus Graecas literas Oxonii didicit In 1504 or thereabouts he resign'd his rectory of Newton Longvill being about that time made Master of the College of Allhallowes at Maidston in Kent yet continued mostly in Oxon for several Years after He hath written Tract contra hostiolum Jo. Wyclevi Epistolae ad

Erasmum alios Grammatica Vulgaria Puerorum Epigrammata with other things which are mentioned by Leland and Bale While Dr. Colet was Dean of St. Pauls our Author Grocyn did read in his open Lecture in that Cathedral the Book of Dionysius Areopagita commonly called Hierarchia Ecclesiastica for the reading of the Holy Scripture in the said Cathedral was not in use and in the very first entry of his Preface cried out with great vehemency against them whosoever they were which either denied or stood in doubt of the Authority of that Book in the number of whom he noted Laur Valla and divers other of like judgment But afterwards the said Grocyn when he had continued a few Weeks in his reading thereof and had farther considered of the matter he utterly alter'd and recanted his former sentence protesting openly that the said Book in his judgment was never written by that Author whom we read in the Acts of the Apostles to be called Dionysius Areopagita He the said Grocyn died at Maidstone beforementioned in the beginning of the Year Fifteen hundred twenty and two year 1522 aged 80 or more Whereupon his Body was Buried at the Stall-end in the high Choir of the Coll. of Allhallows before-mentioned Thomas Lynacre the Famous Physician was his Executor to whom he left considerable Legacies and William Lilye the Grammarian who was his God-son had a little Memorial bequeathed to him in his last Will which I have seen To and with this Grocyn and other eminent Scholars of England who were of his time was well known and familiar Andreas Ammonius a Clerk of Luca in Italy Son of Elizab. de Harena or Arena a grave Matron of that place which Andrew who was an Apostolick Prothonotary Collector for the Pope in England Latin Secretary to King Henry 8. and a Learned Man did as I have just reason to conceive spend some time in Oxon for the sake of Study while Grocyn or at least Erasmus were conversant there But being not certain of the matter I shall only say that Ammonius dying in Septemb. 1517. 9. Henry 8. being then Prebendary of Fordington and Writhlington in the Church of Salisbury which Dignity was conferr'd upon him on the Death of Gendesalvus Ferdinandus 17 Jul. 1513. was Buried in the King's Chappel of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Stephen situate and being within the Palace of Westminster leaving then a considerable part of his Wealth to his Executor Mr. Peter de Vannes an Italian his Sisters Son whom I shall mention elsewhere WILLIAM LILYE was born at Odyham in Hampshire Elected one of the Demies or Semi-commoners of St. Mary Magd. Coll. in 1486. Aged 18 Years took as it seems one Degree in Arts and then giving a farewel to the University went for Religion sake to Jerusalem where after he had paid his Vows put in at his return at the Isle of Rhodes and making some stay there he learned the Latin and Greek Tongues exactly which matter hath seemed strange to some forasmuch as Rhodes was not Rhodes in that Age except some great Critick was casually there Thence he went to Rome where he heard Joh. Sulpitius and Pomponius Sabinus great Masters of Latin in those days Read and Teach After his return he settled in London and taught Grammar Poetry and Rhetorick with good success At length Dr. John Colet Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral made him the First Master of the School which he had Founded in the Yard belonging to the said Cathedral in the Year 1512. where teaching about Ten Years many issued thence who were afterwards serviceable in the Church and State He hath written many things in English and Latin and in Verse and Prose among which are these An Introduction to the Eight Parts of Speech This is generally said to be written by Lilye yet some there are that stick not to tell us that the said Introduction was written by Dr. Colet or Dav. Tolley The Construction of the Eight Parts of Speech This also goes under the Name of Lilye Monita Paedagogica seu Carmen de moribus ad suos discipulos The beginning of which is Qui mihi discipulus c. Brevissima Institutio seu ratio Grammatices cognoscendae ad omnium puerorum utilitatem praescripta c. This contains the four Parts of Grammar viz. 1 Orthographia 2 Etymologia 3 Syntaxis and fourthly Prosodia In which Book or Books very many times Printed that part in Verse called Propria quae Maribus c. and another called As in praesenti c. were afterwards published by John Ritwise Lilye's Successor in Colet's School with an Interpretation of the words in them about the Year 1530. 22. Hen. 8.

Robertson c. Tho the rules in them were excellent in that Age yet they have been much meliorated and more compendiously methodized by very many since even to these our days In aenigmatica Antibossicon Primum Secundum Tertium ad Guliel Hormannum Lond. 1521. qu. The said three Antibossicons are witrily written in an elegant Stile and neat Verse not only against the said Horman but also against Rob. Whittington a Laureat Grammarian Rhetorician The beginning of them is Non Hormanne latet c. In which Antibossicons the said Whitting●on had under the feigned name of Bossus much provoked Lilye with scoffs and biting Verses Poemata varia Printed with the said Antibossicons De laudibus Deiparae Virginis Apologia ad John Skeltonum Rob. Whittington Besides these he hath written other things as Baleus and Pitseus will tell you and hath made several translations from Greek into Latin and from Italian into English At length this Learned Author being infected with the Plauge died of it to the great grief of Learned Men on the fifth of the Cal. of Mar. in Fifteen hundred twenty and two and was buried in the North-yard belonging to the Cath. Church of St. Paul leaving then behind him a Son named George begotten on the body of his Wife Agnes whom I shall hereafter mention and Peter a Dignitarie as it seems in the Church of Canterbury Father of another Peter Lilye D. D. sometimes Fellow of Jesus Coll. in Cambridge afterwards a Brother of the Hospital called the Savoy in the Strand near London Prebendary of St. Paul's Cathedral and of the Church of Sarum Archdeacon of Taunton and a Writer of certain Books as 1 Conciones duae una inscripta Pax Liliana in Act. 15 39.

his said Widow Dorothy whose Daughter Mary hath Verses before in commendation of them This Dr. Peter Lilye gave way to fate in the latter end of 1614 12. Jac. 1. and was buried in the Church belonging to the Savoy beforementioned Will. Lilye the Grammarian had a Daughter named Dionysia who was married to his Usher John Ritwise or Rightwyse afterwards Master of St. Paul's School on the Death of his Father-in Law and a most eminent Grammarian in his Generation This Person by the way I must tell you was born at Sawl in Norfolk educated in Eaton School near Windsor elected into Kings Coll. in Cambridge an 1507. made the Tragedy of Dido out of Virgil and acted the same with the Scholars of his School before Cardinal Wolsey with great applause One Rich. Jones Succeeded him in the Government of St. Paul's School 1532. 24. Hen. 8. in which Year Ritwise perhaps died Afterwards his Widow Dionysia took to her second Husband James Jacob who was one of the Masters of the said School by whom he had a Son called Polydore Jacob. In the next Centery after the Death of our Famous Will. Lilye appeared as a Comet to the Vulgar from Leicestershire one of both his Names a great pretender to Astrology and Physick and in ●uch considering his Education which was without the help of an Academy he was eminent He began to write much about the time when the grand Rebellion commenc'd wrot in favour of the Long Parliament and their proceedings and many notorious matters against the Royal Family which being highly resented by the generous Loyalist he was aimed at upon His Majesties Restauration in 1660. to be brought to condign punishment But upon the Intercession of George Wharton to whom Lilye had been civil in the times of Usurpation and others he escaped and continued in writing his Ephemerides to the time of his Death This Person who pretended much to Prophecy of which he hath published several Pamphlets especially in his said Ephemerides and had exercised the trade of Conjuration among ignorant People died at Walton upon Thames in Surrey where he had purchased a fair Estate with the Moneys he had got by imposing on the Vulgar with his Juggles on the 9th day of June an 1681. Aged near 80 Years and was buried in the middle of the Church there towards the North Wall Soon after was a black Marble Stone with an Inscription thereon laid over his Grave by his Friend Elias Ashmole Esq A little before his Death he did adopt for his Son by the Name of Merlin Junior one Will. Coley a Taylor by Trade and a Native of Magd. Parish in the North Suburb of Oxon and at the same time gave him the Impression of his Ephemeris after it had been Printed for 36 Years which Coley continues to this day The Writings of this Lilly being too many to be here inserted I shall only give you the canting and amusing Titles of some as 1 Englands Prophetical Merlin 2 English Merlin revived c. 3 Storry Messenger or an interpretation of the strange Apparition of three Suns 4 A Collection of Ancient and Modern Prophecies c. 5 Astrological Prediction of the occurrences in England 6 The Worlds Catastrophy 7 Monarchy and no Monarchy c. 8 Annus tenebrosus or the dark Year c. 9 Christian Astrology c. JOHN STANBRIDGE another noted Grammarian of his time was born at Heyford in Northamptonshire educated in Trivials in Whykehams School near Winchester admitted after two Years of probation true and perpetual Fellow of New College in the Year 1481 left it Five Years after and being naturally delighted in the faculty of Grammar tho then Bac. of Arts he was made first Usher of the Free-School joyning to Magd. Coll. for so he occurs in the Year 1488. and after the Death of Job Anwykyll chief Master thereof in which employment he continued if I mistake not to the time of his Death and became so happy in the practice of his profession that many Persons who proved afterwards eminent acknowledged to have received instruction from him Among such Rob. Whittington was one by whose endeavours as also those of Stanbridge Will. Horman and Will. Lilye all Oxford Students the Latin tongue was much refin'd and amended This Jo. Stanbridge was a right worthy Lover of his faculty and an indefatigable Man in teaching and writing as it may appear by those things that he hath published very grateful to the Muses and publick concerns The last of which he consulted more than his own private interest and when in his old Age he should have withdrawn himself from his profession which is esteem'd by the generality a drudgery and have lived upon what he had gotten in his younger Years he refused it lived poor and bare to his last yet with a juvenile and cheerful Spirit He hath written Embryon relimatum sive Vocabularium Metricum This I have seen Printed in an old English Character about 1522. in qu. In the title of which is the Authors Picture Printed from a Wooden Cut sitting in a Chair with his Gown on and a Hood on his Shoulders but no Cap on his Head only a close one like to a Curlot This Book was view'd and corrected in Qu. Elizabeth's time by Thomas Newton of Cheshire who hath an Encomium upon it Afterwards enlarged and made to run in compleat Verse by that noted Grammarian John Brinsley sometimes a Schoolmaster and Minister in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk an 1636. I mean the same Brinsley who married the Sister of Dr. Jos Hall Bishop of Norwich and wrot and published several Books of Divinity and Grammar besides translations Stanbridge also wrot Parvulorum Institutiones De ordine constructionum Vulgaria With other things which I have not yet seen He lived beyond the Year Fifteen hundred twenty and two but when he died or where he was buried unless in Magd. Coll. Chap. or Yard belonging thereunto I know not One Thomas Stanbridge his Kinsman I think took the Degree of Master of Arts in this University an 1518. being then a noted Schoolmaster of Benbury in Oxfordshire who dying 1522 left several Books to the Coll. of which he had been Fellow which if I mistake not was Magd. College NICHOLAS VAUX Son of Sir Will. Vaux of Harwedon in Northamptonshire by Catherine his Wife Daughter of Gregory Penystone of Curtesels in Piemont a Province of Italy was born in that County Northamptonshire and in his juvenile Years was sent to Oxon where by reading Humane and Romantick rather than Philosophical Authors advanced his Genie very much in Poetry and History In his riper Years he followed the Camp did King Hen. 7. noted service in the Battel of Stoke near Newark in the second Year of his Reign and thereupon he received the Honor of Knighthood In the 17th Year of that Kings Reign he appeared like a Star at the Marriage of Prince Arthur for the Gown of Purple Velvet which he

Barrester and a Counsellor of note being then esteemed eminent not only in the Common but also in the Civil Law by which afterwards he obtained immortal fame among the Citizens of London Besides this his profound knowledge he was admirably well read in Philosophy and the liberal Sciences which made his company desired by Scholars and Clergy He lived always a single Man was an adorer of Chastity and chast Men and shew'd himself generous in his profession to those that stood in need of it for very seldom or never did he take a fee. What he got and what he could spare out of his paternal estate he expended in purchasing Books So that several Years before he died his Library exceeded any one or two that belonged to a Person or Persons of his profession Every night after his business was past he read a Chapter in the Bible to those that belonged to him and the Substance thereof he expounded to them By the doing of which and his interposing himself in matters relating to Religion and the Clergy some R. Catholicks have thought that he halted in his Opinion that is that he was inclined to the way of Hereticks His Writings are many partly written in Latin and partly in English the titles of some of which are these Dialogus de fundamentis Legum Angliae de conscientia Lond. 1528. 1598. 1604. 1613 c. oct This is the Book which is commonly called Doctor and Student being a Dialogue between a Doctor of Div. and a Student in the common Laws of England With the edition of the said Book 1528. I have seen this Book following bound with several Copies of it Principia five maximae Legum Angliae à Gallico illo ut fertur sermone collecta sic in Latinum translata non solum generosis studentibus verum etiam terrarum dominis possessoribus summè necessaria Printted by Rich Lant 24. Dec. 38. Hen. 8. Dom. 1546. in oct Whether this Book which is printed in an English Character as the Dialogue is was compiled by Seintgerman I know not certain I am that the English Copy of Dialogus c. called Doctor and Student c. Printed at Lond. in oct an 1604. contains two Books of Dialogues the first of which hath 32 Chapters whereas the Latin impression of 1528 and 1604. contains but 24 and the second 55 Chapters Among other things that the said Seintgerman hath written are Of the power of the Clergy according to the Law Treatise shewing that the Clergy cannot make Laws Treatise of the Church and the meaning thereof Treatise of the Sacraments thereof Apologie written to Sir Tho. More Dialogue concerning the power which belongs to the Clergy and the power which belongs to the People With several other things which are mention'd in another place At length this worthy Person dying in Sept. the 28 day saith Baleus who falsely adds 1539. in Fifteen hundred and forty year 1540 was buried not far from the Grave of Tho. Lupset in the Church of St. Alphage within Cripplegate in the City of London Which Church was afterwards translated to that Church now called St. Alphage near Sion College In the last will and Testament of the said Seintgerman dated 10. July 32. Hen. 8. Dom. 1540 and proved 30. May 1541. it appears that he was not only a Benefactor to the Church of Shilton before-mention'd but also to that at Laleford Lawford in Warwickshire and to the Church at Cathorp in Leicestershire at which Towns 't is probable he had Lands and Inheritances JOHN PALSGRAVF was born in London and educated in Grammar learning there studied Logic and Philosophy at Cambridge till he was Bach. of Arts. Afterwards he went to Paris where spending several Years also in Philosophical and other learning took the Degree of Master of the said faculty and became so excellent in the French tongue that he was thought fit to be Tutor to the Daughter of K. Hen. 7. called the Lady Mary when she was about to be married to Lewis the 12. K. of France But that King dying soon after the said Palsgrave came with her into England taught the French Language to divers of our young Nobility and became well benefic'd In 1531. he settled in Oxon for a time and the next Year being incorporated Master of the faculty of Arts was in few days after admitted to the reading of the Sentences that is to the Degree of Bach. of Divinity he being then Chaplain to K. Hen. 8. and esteemed the first Author of our Nation or of the French Men that had reduced the French tongue under certain rules and the first in that kind of exercise that did begin to labour as it plainly appears by his most laborious piece intit Lesclarcissement de la Language Francois Lond. 1530. in three Books in a thick fol. Before which the Author hath a large Introduction in English after which follows 1 A table of Substantives 2 A table of Adjectives 3 The Pronoun 4 The Numerals c. I never yet saw but one Copy of this Book which being fill'd with Marginal Notes by whom I know not in a scribling hand was bought by the learned Selden and in his Library at Oxon. I perus'd it The said Joh. Palsgrave hath also written Several Epistles and published a translation of a Book intit Ecphrastes Anglica in comoediam Acolasti Or the Comedy of Acolastus translated into our English tongue after such a manner as Children are taught in the Grammar School first word by word as the Latin lyeth and afterwards according to the sense and meaning of the Latin sentences c. Lond. 1540. in qu. The said Comedy was made by one Will. Fullonius Hagiensis an 1529 and was living when it was put into English by Palsgrave who was in great renown among Men for his Learning in Fifteen hundred and forty which was the two and thirtieth Year of King Hen. 8. LEONARD COX second Son of Laurence Cox by Elizab. his Wife Daugh. of Willey Son of Job Cox of Monmouth was born in Monmouthshire educated in Cambridge till he was Bach. of Arts went to Oxon in 1528. where making some stay for the sake of study was incorporated in the same Degree in the Year following and intending to make a longer stay he supplicated for the Degree of Master of Arts but whether admitted it appears not About the same time he was a Schoolmaster at Reading in Berks. and was there in much esteem when Joh. Fryth the Martyr was taken for a Vagabond and set in the Stocks to whom for his learning and nothing else he shewed singular courtesies as I have already told you in John Fryth Afterwards he travelled into France Germany Poland and Hungary taught there the Tongues and became more eminent in Foreign Countries than at home which Joh.

He hath written A Chronicle containing matters only of his time and dying at Calice before mention'd in Fifteen hundred forty and one 33. Hen. 8. was buried in the Church of St. Nicholas there leaving then behind him the Character of a Worthy Gentleman RICHARD WHYTFORDE who in his Writings stiles himself the Wretch of Sion was educated for a time among the Oxonians but whether he took a Degree we have no record that shews it Afterwards he was received into the Family of Rich. Foxe Bishop of Winchester and by him was made his Chaplain about the latter end of Hen. 7. at which time he became acquainted with Sir Tho. More then a Young Man between whom was great amity Afterwards Whytforde being minded to leave the World and all hopes of preferment entred himself a Monk of the Order of St. Brigit in the Monastry called Sion near to Brentford in Middlesex About which time being known to Scholars for his divine learning for in Philosophy he was but little vers'd and most sincere holiness he became acquainted with that great light of learning Erasmus who sometimes mentions him in his Epistles and advises him thus Cura at valeas teque tua Philosophia oblectes c. But such was his ill fortune that he lived to see himself turn'd out of his Cell and the Cell it self converted to a profane use Whereupon one Will.

The reason of the title is this The Author compares the life of perfection to precious Wine kept in a Pype or Tonne made as it were of three plain boords viz. the three Vows of Obedience wilful poverty and chastity which are bound together as with hoops by their rules as of St. Austine Benedict Francis Basil Which hoops are knit as with wykers with the holy ceremonies of Religion contained in the Statutes Constitutions Injunctions and Customs of every Monastery This allegory he seems to prosecute throughout the whole work His main aim is to commend and defend the religious Orders and those three monastick Vows against the objections of the Lutherans Treatise of patience Also a work of divers impediments and lets of perfection Lond. 1541. qu.

Hen. 8. Dom. 1511. But this R. Whytforde who seems to have been born in Flintshire was no writer only Unkle to Rich. Whytforde before mention'd who upon his Unkles account and because of his benefaction to Sion was entred a Brother there being originally as I suppose of Whytforde in Flintshire JOHN SHEPREVE or Shepery was born in or near to the Parish of Radley about a mile or two distant from Abendon in Berks admitted Probationer-Fellow of Corpus Ch. Coll. in the Year 1528. aged 19 or thereabouts took the Degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated 1533 about which time he was Greek Reader in the said College and afterwards Hebrew Professor of the University in the place of Rob. Wakfeld about 1538. Three Years after he did with leave from the chief Members of the University begin to expound in the publick Schools the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Language and would have gone forward with the Books that follow had not death prevented him He was one of the skilfullest Linguists his Age being considered that ever was in Oxon before his time and was thought to surpass Origen in Memory So excellent a Poet also he was that his equal scarce could be found it having been an ordinary matter with him to compose 100 very good Verses every day at vacant hours some of which are extant Several Authors have celebrated his Memory in their respective Books of Poems particularly John Leland in his Encomia illustrium eruditorum in Angliâ virorum c. and in his Cygnia Cantio in the last of which he stiles him Decus atriusque linguae Also Dr. Joh. White in his Diacosio-Martyrion who entitles him trium Linguarum peritissimus and others Among the Books that he hath written these only I have seen viz. Summa synopsis Novi Testamenti disticis ducentis sexaginta comprehensa First of all published by John Parkhurst at Strasburgh about 1556. in oct with some of his Serious Epigrams at the end taken from his Ludicra or Epigram Juvenilia which I shall hereafter mention under him the said Parkhurst Afterwards the said Summa synopsis were printed at Lond. 1560. and at Oxon. 1586. in oct which last edition was reviewed and corrected by Dr. Laur. Humphrey They are also printed if I mistake not in a Book called Gemma Fabri Lond. 1598. and were by the Author composed to no other end but to assist the memories of Novices and Candidates in Divinity Hyppolitus Ovidianae Phaedrae respondens Before which our Author hath a Preface to the Epistle of Hyppolitus to Phaedra contained in about 350 long and short Verses written to one Mr.

Shepery Vita Epicedion Johannis Claymondi Praesidis Coll. Corp. Chr. MS. in C. C. C. Library The beginning of which is Tristia quisquis ades c. written in long and short Verses He also translated from Greek into Latin several Books as Euripides his Hecuba and Seneca's Hercules furens something of Basil c. besides compositions in Poetry and Prose which after the Author's death came into the hands of George Etheridge before-mention'd who promised in the Year 1584. to make them publick but what hindred him unless death I know not As for our Author Sheperey he gave way to fate at Agmundesham commonly called Amersham in Bucks in the Month of July in fifteen hundred forty and two year 1542 and was buried I persume in the Church there Soon after his death being known in Oxon divers ingenious and learned Men made Verses to his memory in Greek and Latin and caused them to be stuck up on St. Mary's Church doors to be read by the Academians as they passed by Some Persons whether for the sake of his memory or for Poetry I know not got copies of them very greedily and gathered all they could get to the end that with the help of Etheridge they might be published At length being put into the hands of Herman Evans a Stationer for that purpose he kept them till he could get more to be added to them but what hindered their birth I know not WILLIAM THYNNE otherwise Botevill was as it seems a Solopian born and educated among the Oxonians for a time Afterwards retiring to the Court became through several petite employments chief Clerk of the Kitchin to K. Hen. 8. and is stiled by Erasmus Thynnus Aulicus This Person who was poetically given from his Youth did make a search after all the works of Jeffery Chaucer the Prince of our English Poets many of which were then in MS. At length having collected all the ancient Copies of that Author he took great pains to correct and amend them Which being so done he put notes and explanations on and printed them altogether in one Volume in Folio not in double columns as they have been since and dedicated them to K. Hen. 8. an 1542 having been partly and imperfectly done several Years before by Will. Caxton Afterwards Joh. Stow the Chronologer did correct increase and publish them with divers ample notes collected out of several records and monuments All which he delivering to his Friend Tho.

Aug. 1546. and was buried in the Church of Allhallowes Barkin in London I am yet to learn I find another Will. Thynne Esq Brother to Sir John Thynne Knight who after he had travell'd through most parts of Europe return'd an accomplish'd Gentleman and in the 1. Edw. 6. Dom. 1547. went into Scotland under the command of Edward Duke of Somerset to which Duke his Brother Sir John was Secretary where as an Eques catafractus that is a Chevalier arm'd cap a pee he performed excellent service in the Battel at Muscelborough against the Scots This Person I take to be the same to whom K. Hen. 8. by his Letters Pat. dat 8. May 38. of his Reign Dom. 1546. gave the office of general Receiver of two Counties in the Marches of Wales commonly call'd The Earl of Marches Lands At length when the infirmities of Age came upon him he gave himself solely up to devotion and was a daily Auditor of divine service in the Abbey Church at Westminster He surrendred up his Soul to him that gave it 14. March 1584 and was buried in the said Church opposite to the door leading into the Cloister Over his Grave was soon after erected a Monument of Alabaster and 100 Years after was another stately Monument erected near to it Westward for one descended from Sir Joh. Thynne beformention'd namely for Tho. Thynne of Langleat in Wilts Esq sometimes a Gent. Com. of Ch. Ch. who was barbarously murder'd in the Pall-mall by a German Sweed and Pole on Sunday in the Evening 12. Feb. 1681. For whom was a large inscription made to be engraved on the said Monument but for certain passages therein reflecting on Justice and I know not what was not suffer'd to be put thereon JOHN HOKER was first Demie or Semicommoner afterwards Fellow of St. Mary Magd. College and in 1535. Master of Arts being then accounted excellently well read in Greek and Latin Authors a good Rhetorician and Poet and much commended for his facete fancy Leland is pleased to mention him in one of his works and to stile him not without desert Nitor artium bonarum He hath written Piscator or the Fisher caught a Comedy An Introduction to Rhetorick Poema de vero crucifixo Epigrammata varia and other things which I have not yet seen He was living in Magd. Coll. in Fifteen hundred forty and three being then Bach. of Divinity of three Years standing as it appears in the Bursars accompts of that House I presume he died shortly after and not in 1541 as Bale and Pits do tell you EDWARD LEE Son of Rich. Lee of Lee-magna in Kent Esq Son of Sir Rich. Lee Knight sometimes twice Lord Mayor of the City of London was born in Kent particularly as I suppose at Lee before-mentioned sent to St. Mary Magd. Coll. about 1499 and took as 't is said one Degree in Arts but whether true I cannot justly affirm because the Register of that time and other writings are imperfect In the Year 1523 one Ed. Lee was admitted Bachelaur of Arts but him I take to be too late for this Edw. Lee whom we are further to mention Afterwards he went to Cambridge as one reports being probably driven hence by Pests that frequently then hap'ned in Oxon. Yet the Reader is to know that he is not reckoned among the Archbishops and Bishops which have been educated in that University by Dr. Matthew Parker in his Catalogue of them at the end of his Cat. of Chancellors Proctors c. thereof in his Edition of Antiquitates Britannicae c. Printed an 157 2-3 Howsoever it is I shall not dispute it only say that afterwards he was made Chaplain to K.

H. 8. but in what Church or Yard he was buried I cannot tell THOMAS ELYOT was born as 't is said of a Knightly Family in Suffolk and educated in Academical learning in the Hall of St. Mary the Virgin where he obtained a considerable proficiency in Logick and Philosophy The Year when he first began to salute the Muses it cannot through the deficiency of record be well known unless it should be about the Year 1514 for four Years after an 1518 I find one Tho. Elyot to be admitted ad lecturam alicujus libri facultatis artium Logices Aristotelis which is the admission to the Degree of Bach. of Arts and in the time of Lent the same Year he did compleat that Degree by Determination in School-street It doth also appear that the said Tho. Elyot was in the beginning of Aug. an 1524. admitted ad lecturam alicujus libri Institutionem that is to the Degree of Bach. of the Civil Law Now if we could find that Sir Tho. Elyot was about 50 Years of Age when he died then we may certainly conclude that Elyot the Bac. of Arts and of the Civil Law might be the same with him otherwise we cannot well do it After he had left the University he travelled beyond the Seas and upon his return was introduced into the Court Whereupon being made known to the King a lover of Scholars who found him to be a Person of good parts conferr'd on him the honor of Knighthood and employed him in certain Embassies bejond the Seas particularly to the Emperor Charles the 5th at what time his great Friend and Crony Sir Tho.

Hall in 1510 2. Hen. 8. he was admitted to the reading of the sentences and in the Year after he proceeded in Divinity In Decemb. an 1514 he succeeded Dr. Will. Atwater in the Deanery of Salisbury and in 1519 he was made Canon of Windsore At which time he being in great favour with the King for his excellent way of Preaching he did not only make him his Confessor but also upon the death of Atwater Bishop of Lincoln and about that time Lord Almoner To the same See therefore he being consecrated 5. May 1521 had restitution made to him of the temporalities belonging thereunto 26. June following In 1528. or thereabouts he was the first Man of account that mention'd a divorce to the King to be between him and his Qu. Catherine for which afterwards when it was known he was much blamed and the more because he took all occasions to forward and not in the least to contradict it In 1532 he was elected Chancellor of the University of Oxen which office he keeping to his dying day shew'd himself a special Friend thereunto in maintaining it privileges and in exhibiting as he had done before to the wants of certain Scholars and in solely maintaining others I have seen divers Epistles written to him from the venerable House of Regents and Non-Regents wherein they in an high manner do proclaim his Religion and Doctrin and do not stick to compare him to Joseph the Patriarch His writings are these Declamatio five concio coram reverendiss in Ch. patribus Domino D.

learned exposition upon the Proverbs of Sol●m●n When this last was first Printed I know not Sure 't is that being translated into English by one Marcelline Outred for the benefit of his Country-men was Printed at London in 1580. in a thick qu. Whether this Mich. Cope was of the same Family with that of Sir Anthony's before-mentioned or was educated in Oxon. I cannot yet tell JOHN REDMAN or Redmayne descended from those of his name in Yorkshire was near allied to Cuthb Tonstall Bishop of Durham by whose counsel and advice he became conversant from his Childhood in the Study of Learning At the first Foundation of Corp. Ch. Coll. he was a Student there for some time under the care and government of Mr. J. Claymond the first President Thence he went to Paris where he improved his Studies till he was 21 Years of Age. Afterwards returning to his native Country of England he settled in St. Johns Coll. in Cambridge where by his and Joh. Cheeks example of excellency in learning of godliness in living of diligence in studying of counsel in exhorting by good order in all things were bred up so many learned Men in that one Coll. as 't was thought by one the whole University of Lovaine in many Years was never able to afford In 1537 he commenced Doctor of Divinity and about that time was made Orator of that University and afterwards the first Master or Head of Trinity Coll. and a Dignitary in the Church But that which is most observable is that when he came first to that University being then very well vers'd in the Greek and Lat. tongues and adorn'd with knowledge by the diligent reading of Cicero it so fell out that Joh. Cheek and Tho. Smyth being at that time young Men but afterwards Knights were stirred up with a kind of emulation of his parts and the honor that was daily done unto him Whereupon being very desirous to follow that which he had gained and then did profess and teach they threw aside their sordid barbarisms and applied themselves to the Eloquence of Plato Aristotle and Cicero The truth is by Redman's profound knowledge in the Tongues Humanity and Divinity he obtained many admirers and thereby gained Proselytes to the great advantage of the refinement of the Gr. and Lat. Tongues in the University of Cambridge He hath written Opus de justificatione Antw. 1555. qu. Hymnus in quo peccator justificationem quaerens rudi imagine describitur Printed with the former work The complaint of Grace containing in it much godly learning and verity of matter Lond. 1556. in oct published by Tho. Smith Servant to Qu. Mary This I suppose is the same Book with that which Bale and Pits intitle De gratia lib. 1. translated into English by Joh. Young of Cambridge This Dr. Redman also took pains in compiling the first edition of the Liturgie or Common-prayer in the Year 1549. and dying in the College of Westminster of which he was Prebendary was buried in the North Isle of the Abby-Church there dedicated to St. Peter about the latter end of Nov. year 1551 in Fifteen hundred fifty and one aged 52. See more of him in Lelands Encomia and in the Epistles of Roger Ascham his sometimes friend and crony as also in Joh. Fox his Book of Acts and Monuments of the Church c. where you 'll find his conference or communication had with Rich. Wilks 2. Nov. 1551 the Doctor being then sick at Westminster and another conference with Mr. Alex. Nowell then Schoolmaster in Westminster and certain others with notes of his censure and judgment touching certain points of Christ's Religion which was made when the Doctor laid on his Death-bed Whether this John Redmayne was Archdeacon of Taunton and Preb. of Mylverton in the Church of Wells in the time of Ed. 6.

DAVID TOLLEY or Talley called by Leland the Antiquary Tavelegus and by himself Taulaeus was born at a Mercate Town call'd Kingsbridge in Devonshire became a Student of this University about 1517. 9. H. 8. took the Degrees of Arts as a Member of the Hall of St. Mary the Virgin that of Master being compleated 1527. About that time he applyed his Genie to the faculty of Medicine took the Degree of Bachelaur and in 1534. and before he was dispens'd with by the venerable Regents to proceed in the said faculty but whether he was admitted or proceeded it doth not appear Sure I am that he was then noted to be very able for the practice therein in this University accounted also a good Latinist and Grecian and to be a Person praeclari ingenii atque optimarum artium cognitione locupletus He hath written Progymnasmata Grammaticae Graecae Written for the use of Prince Ed. and to him dedicated by the Author with an Epistle before it beginning thus Octavus jam agitur annus c. Grammatica Regia Themata Homeri With other matters pertaining to Grammar In 1547. or thereabouts I find this Dav. Tolley to be made one of the senior Students of Ch. Ch. by the name of David Towle being then 41 Years of Age after K. Hen. 8. had settled the Cathedral there at which time and before he taught Grammar to young Students of this University When he died I know not nor any thing else of him only that his name occurs among the senior Students that were Theologists of that house in the Years 1551. and 52. Joh. Baleus in his Manuscript De Scriptoribus Anglicis stiles this Dav. Tolley Angliae Papistarum Malleus being probably then temp Ed. 6. so accounted but in his Printed Book published at Basil 1559 he mentioneth no such matter which makes me think that Tolley conform'd in the time of Qu. Mary if he was then living JOHN MORWEN or Morenus as he writes himself was a Devonian born admitted Scholar of Corp. Chr. Coll. 23. Feb. 1535. and afterwards Fellow and Master of Arts. About which time entring into holy Orders he became noted soon after for his profoundness in Divinity and his great knowledge in the Greek tongue being in the latter end of King Hen. 8. Reader thereof in his College and a private instructer of John Jewell though afterwards a hater of his Opinions In 1551 he was admitted Bach. of Divin and about the same time studied Physick as having no good wishes for reformation which tended to the ruin as he thought of the Church He is stiled by a learned Author not of his opinion to be homo Graecè doctus sed idem Graecorum more leviculus bibaculus c. Afterwards he was patronized in his studies by Will. Roper Esq whose Daughter by Margaret his Wife Daughter of Sir Thomas More he instructed

Philpot Knight of the Bath and twice Sheriff of Hampshire was born at Compton in that County educated in Grammaticals in Wykehams School near Winchester admitted true and perpetual Fellow of New Coll. in the Year 1534 had a Civilians place there and took as 't is said the Degree of Bach. of the Lawes but whether in this University it appears not in the registers thereof However he was then esteemed a good Civilian and admirably well skill'd in the Greek and Hebrew tongues In 1541 his Fellowship became void because of absence being then I presume in his travels in Italy After his return retiring to Winchester he read Lectures in the Cathedral there on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans Which tho they were done gratis were not acceptable to the Catholick Clergy or Citizens of that place In the time of Edw. 6. he became Archdeacon of Winchester in the place of one Will. Bolen who succeeded Rich. Pates upon his resignation an 1529. In 1553 he let drop certain passages in a convocation of the Clergy savouring of Heresie as 't was then temp Mariae accounted Whereupon being imprison'd he was after an Year and a half confinement examined in points of faith by the Bishop of London and his assistants who finding him obstinate in his opinions and past all recantation was by them condemned to be burn'd He hath written Epistolae Hebraicae lib. 1.

Ebden Preb. of the said Church of Winton also succeeded ROBERT ALDRICH or Aldrisius as some call him was born at Burnham in Bucks educated in Grammar learning in Eaton School elected Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge in the Year 1507 where he took the Degrees in Arts and about that time was stiled by Erasmus in a certain Epistle blandae eloquentiae juvenis Afterwards he became Proctor of the said University Schoolmaster of Eaton Fellow of the College there and at length Provost In 1529 he retired to Oxon where he was incorporated Bach. of Div. as he had stood at Cambridge and soon after performing his exercise for the Degree of Doctor in that faculty he was licensed to proceed in April 1530. Which Degree being compleated by standing in the Act which was shortly after celebrated is the reason why I put him in these Athenae Oxon. About the same time he was made Archdeacon of Colchester and in 1534. May 7. he was installed Canon of Windsore and in the same Year constituted Registrary of the most noble order of the Garter In 1537 Jul. 18. he was consecrated Bishop of Carlile in the place of Joh. Kyte deceased from which time to that of his death though there were many changes in the Church and State yet he ran through all and so consequently complied with them His works are many but all that I have seen are only these Epistola ad Gul. Hormannum The beginning of which is Suscipies Hormanne tue c. 'T is written in Lat. Verse and is remitted into the Book called Antibossicon mention'd in Will Horman among these Writers under the Year 1535. Epigrammata varia And certain matters against Rob. Whittington He gave way to fate at Horncastle in Lincolnshire where was then an house belonging to the Bishop of Carlile on the fifth day of March in Fifteen hundred fifty and five and was as I suppose buried there John Leland the Antiquarian Poet was his familiar acquaintance and therefore having had experience of his most admirable parts and learning did not without just desert commend them to posterity in his Encomia * Trophaea c. illustrium aliquot eruditorum in Anglia virorum c. to which I refer the Reader JOHN PROCTOR a Somersetshire Man born was elected Scholar of Corpus Christi Coll. in Jan. 1536 and when Bach. of Arts Fellow of Allsouls with Joh.

Chr. in Januar. 1528. partly by the endeavours made in his behalf of one Mr. Edw. Standish Fellow of Brasenose who was either his Brother or Unkle and partly by the said Doctor After he was settled in that Coll. he went through the usual classes of Logick and Philosophy with unwearied industry became a most noted Disputant took the Degrees in Arts holy Orders and drudging much in the faculty of

Fekenham the former Abbat of Westminster and the Monks had that of Wind●ore bestowed upon him an 1556. But being taken in adultery as some say was deprived of the said Deanery by Card. Pole Archb. of Canterbury in 1557. Whereupon looking on himself as much abused did appeal to an higher Power So that being about to take a journey to Rome to complain to his holiness was seized and clapt up Prisoner within the Tower of London where as I conceive he died Jo. Leland gives him the character of a noted Preacher and Orator of his time and seems to intimate that he had written several Books Jo. Bale who speaks well of few Men saith that he had been sore bytten with a Winchester gose and was not as yet 1554 healed thereof And tells us of his old familiar Mary Huckvale of Oxford and of his provider Goodwife Person and Chrystian Thompson the Widow and I know not what Another equal with Bale in scurrilities saith that Hugh Weston is a drunken burnt tail man a baudy beast a leacherous locust a companion with curtezans of Coleman hedge more meet to be coupled with his old play-fellow and pack-borse Goodwife Hugfaile at Oxon at the tayle of a Cart than to be reverenced and reputed a Mayden Preist in good Queen Maries Court But to let pass this brutish language more fit to be spoken at Billingsgate than by a Person that made Divinity his delight I must tell you that there goes under this Dr. Weston's name Oratio coram patribus clero habita 16.

Nov. 1558 made within the Tower of London he bestowed most of his wealth on pious and publick uses took a great deal of care about the ceremoney to be performed at his burial and for the praying for his Soul by several Persons in several places as moneys for a Dirige and Mass to be performed 1 By the Master and Fellows of Balliol Coll. 2 By the Rector and Fellows of Lincoln Coll. 3 By the Chapl. or Priest of the University of Oxon. 4 By the Priest at Islip near Oxon. of which perhaps he had been Rector 5 By the Priest of Burton Novery in Leycestershire at which place if I mistake not he had received his first breath because his Brethren lived there c. with many other things therein which not only shew'd him to be a zealous Catholick but also a Person of a publick spirit WILLIAM FORREST was related to John Forrest before-mentioned but where born I cannot justly say spent several years in study among the Oxonians and was there a Student when the question was discussed among the Doctors and Masters concerning the divorce of King Hen. 8. from his Royal Consort Qu. Catherine in 1530 as in the life of the said Queen which I shall anon mention appeareth He was a Priest and had preferment in the Church was well skill'd in Musick and Poetry had a collection of the choicest compositions in Musick that were then in use Which coming after his death into the hands of Dr. Heather founder of the Musical Praxis in this University he gave them to the publick School thereof where they yet continue and are kept only as matters of antiquity Among them are the compositions of Joh. Taverner of Boston sometimes Organist of Cardinal Coll. in Oxon of Joh. Merbeck Org. of Windsore Rob. Fairfax a Doctor of Musick of Cambridge Dr. Christ Tye Joh. Sheppard John Norman c. All the Books that our Author Forrest hath composed which have as yet come to my view were written in English Poetry such as was commonly used in the Reigns of Hen. 8. and Ed. 6. The titles of which follow A true and most notable History of a right noble and famous Lady produced in Spayne entituled the second Gresield practised not long out of this tyme in much part tragedous as delectable both to hearers and readers This is a MS. containing the life of Queen Catherine the first Wife of K. Hen. 8. and is by the Author dedicated to Qu. Mary he being then Chaplain to her T is a broad thin Folio written very fairly on Vellam and seems to be the very same it being now my proper Book that the Author presented to the said Queen There be many things in it that are very zealously written against the Hereticks of those times as he calls them which plainly shews him to be entirely devoted to the Church of Rome And tho there be no great streins in it yet the historical part of it is good if not too much partiality therein and I have discovered from the said Book many things relating to the Affairs of Oxon acted during the time of the said divorce which I could never see elsewhere The beginning of the prologue to Qu. Mary is this As nature hath no inclination c. and of the work it self Wryters have many endeavoured their pains c.

One of which was printed at London about 1577 and the other there after the Authors death an 1587 at which time it was usher'd into the world by various copies of verses written by the Poets of that time As for the Author of them he made his last exit or yielded to nature in his middle age at his house in Walthamstow before-mention'd in Octob. or Nov. in Fifteen hundred seventy and eight year 1578 and was buried as I suppose in the Church there I find another George Gascoigne Esq but later in time than the former of whom I know nothing only but that he was of the Middle Temple and that he dyed about 1619.

Religion was born in the Parish of St. Mary Magdalen in Old Fishstreet within the City of London educated in Grammar learning in Wykehams School near to Winchester admitted perpetual Fellow of New Coll. in 1534 took the Degrees in Arts holy Orders was made Chaplain to Bonner Bishop of London and left his Fellowship about 1551 being then beneficed in London About 1554 he being then D. of D. he was made by his Patron Archdeacon of that place in the room of Joh.

Mary died he became Dean of Ch.

Harpesfeild D.

JOHN FOWLER was born in the City of Bristow educated in Wykehams School near Winchester admitted Fellow of New Coll. after he had served two years of probation in 1555 resigned it in 1559 and the year after took the Degree of Master of Arts but did not compleat it by standing in the Comitia About that time leaving England he took upon him the trade of printing partly at Antwerp and partly at Lovaine whereby he did signal service for the R. Catholicks in printing their books for the vindication of their cause against the Protestants in England He was well skill'd in the Greek and Latin tongues a tolerable Poet and Orator and a Theologist not to be contemn'd So learned he was also in Criticismes and other polite learning that he might have passed for another Robert or Henry Stephens Printers He did diligently peruse the Theological sums of St. Thomas of Aquine and with a most excellent method did reduce them into a Compendium To which he gave this title Loca communia Theologica c. lib. 1.

Camden whom I follow in some things tells us that our Author N. Saunders was miserably ramish'd to death seems to be contrary to what a certain Author of Camdens time reports but he being one of Saunder's perswasion may perhaps not be believed by many He tells us that before the end of the said war wherein Desmond was kill'd Saunders was overtaken with the flux a usual disease with strangers in Ireland and tho he was strong and in the judgment of all near to him far from the approach of death yet in the beginning of the night he desired Cornelius the Bishop titular of Killaloa to give him the extreme unction for saith he this night I shall die having received a call from my Creator Whereupon Cornelius made answer that there was no need of it seeing that his body was strong and no sign of death near it Notwithstanding this his disease pressing forward he was anointed in the middle of the night and about the time of Cock-crowing he surrendred up his Soul to God In the night following he was carried to his grave by 4 Irish chevaliers whereof Dermitius Osullevan father to the Author whom I here quote was one and was buried by certain Priests according to their manner his body having been exposed to the sight of certain Persons as well of England as of Ireland who for privacy sake were prohibited their presence at his funeral Afterwards Cornelius went into Spain and died at Lisbon an 1617. Thus in effect the said Author who tells us not the name of the place where he died or was buried neither the time when EDMOND CAMPIAN another stiff defender of the R. Cath. Religion was born in London on St. Pauls day in Jan. 1540. educated in School-learning among the blew coats in Ch. Ch. Hospital within the said City spoke an eloquent oration before Qu. Mary there at her first coming to the Crown an 1553 put in Scholar of St. Johns Coll. by the worthy founder thereof at its first foundation took the Degree of Master of Arts in 1564 and was Junior of the Act celebrated on the 19. of Feb. the same year at which time speaking one or more most admirable orations to the envy of his contemporaries caused one of them who was afterwards an Archbishop to say that rather than he would omit the opportunity to shew his parts and dominare in una atque altera conciuncula did take the oath against the Popes Supremacy and against his conscience Soon after if not before he took holy orders according to the Church of England from the hands of Rich. Cheyney Bishop of Glocester who had encouraged him in his studies and became a florid Preacher In 1566 when Qu. Elizab. was entertained by the University of Oxon he did not only make an eloquent oration before her at her first entry but also was Respondent in the Philosophy Act in St. Maries Church performed by him with great applause from that Queen and the learned auditory In 1568 he was the junior Proctor of the University being the first of his Coll. who did undergo that office and in the Year following he took a journey into Ireland where improving his time very industriously did by the help of his admirable parts write in short time a history of that Country but then he being discovered to have left the Church of England and to labour for Proselytes was seized and detained for a time but getting loose from his keepers did with much ado obtain footing on the British shoare an 1571 where making but short stay took shipping again and went into the Low Countries and settling for a time in the English Coll. at Doway made an open recantation of his heresie as they there stil'd it studied Divinity and had the Degree of Bach. of that faculty conferr'd upon him Thence he went to Rome where he was admitted into the Society of Jesus in 1573 and being esteemed by the General of that order to be a Person every way compleat was sent into Germany where living for some time at Brune and afterwards at Vienna compos'd a Tragedy called Nectar Ambrosia acted before the Emperor with great applause Soon after setling at Pragne in Bohemia where had been newly erected a College for Jesuits taught there for about 6 years time Philosophy and Rhetorick and became amongst them a constant Preacher in the Latin tongue At length being called thence to Rome was with Father Persons sent at the command of P. Gregory 13 into England in 1580 where arriving at Dover on the day next following that of St. John Baptist was the day after that received with great joy by the Catholicks in London Afterwards he printed privately and by stealth his neat well penn'd book called Rationes decem of which many copies were dispersed in St. Maries Church at an Act-time an 1581. by one who was sometimes a Member of St. Johns Coll. in the time of Campian named Will. Hartley a R. Priest a native of Nottinghamshire and a learned Man who being taken in short time after was imprison'd and in Feb. 1584 being released was with other Priests and Jesuits put on Ship-board at Tower-wharf and thence at the Queens charge was wafted over the Seas to Normandy where he and his company were left to their shifts Afterwards it being commonly known that Campian was in England great inquisition was made after him At length at the desire and insinuation of Walsingham Secretary of State one George Eliot a Priest-catcher sometimes a zealous Catholick undertook for a considerable reward to find him out But all his searchings in London availing not he did at length upon some intimation received go into Berks. where with his attendants making great enquiries did with much ado find him out disguised like a Royster as 't is said in the house of Edw. Yates Esq at Lyford a little before which time Persons the Jesuit who had been with and accompanied him in his travels to and fro had left him and diverted his course towards Kent So that being carried as a Prisoner with triumph through Abendon Henly Colebroke and so through part of London with a paper fastned to his hat and a writing thereon to shew to the People that he was Edm. Campian a most pernicious Jesuit was chap'd up a close Prisoner within the Tower of London where he did undergo many examinations from several People abuses wrackings tortures and I know not what but scarcely answered the expectation raised of when certain Divines disputed with him About which time a little Pamphlet was published in oct containing a discourse of his apprehension which I have not yet seen All writers whether Protestant or Popish say that he was a Man of most admirable parts an elegant Orator a subtile Philosopher and disputant and an exact Preacher whether in English or Lat. tongue of a sweet disposition and a well polished Man A certain writer saith he was of a sweet nature constantly carrying

the north parts of England In 1560. the Queen design'd him to be Bishop of Norwich but he altogether refused it for no other reason as 't was suppos'd but that he was much disaffected to the Hierarchy and Ceremonies of the Church of England In the latter end of the said year in the beginning of March he supplicated the venerable congregation of Regents of this University that whereas he had for the space of 16 years studied Divinity he might be admitted to the reading of Epistles of S. Paul that is to the degree of Bach. of Divinity which was before the time of Reformation to the reading of the Book of Sentences This supplicat was granted by notwithstanding he had taken no Degree before among them as it appears from the publick Registers In the same congregation he supplicated also that after he was admitted Bach. of Divinity he might have liberty to proceed in the same Faculty but to that no answer was given Afterwards he supplicated that he might not only use the habit of Master of Arts in the time of his admission to the Degree of Bach. of Divinity but afterwards also while he continued in that state Which request though granted simpliciter yet it doth not appear that he was admitted to that Degree In Michaelmas term 1561. he was installed Dean of Christ Church in Oxon in the place of Dr. George Carew and soon after in the month of November he supplicated the congregation of Regents that it might be lawful for him to Preach within the limits of the University in a doctoral habit Which desire being as they thought unreasonable yet because he was a Dean they granted it only to continue till the Act following At that time there being a great scarcity of Divines in the University and but very few Masters he the said Sampson and Laur. Humphrey of Magd. Coll. another severe Calvinist preached by turns every Lords day either at St. Maries or elsewhere to the Academians and soon after got another brother of Allsouls Coll. as 't is said to joyn with them but who that was unless Andrew Kingsmyll LL. B. who afterwards out of pure sanctity went to Geneva I know not But Sampson being too severe a Calvinist if not worse to govern such a noted Coll. as Ch. Ch. for he was an enemy to Organs ornaments of the Church clerical vestments the square cap he always in imitation of Humphrey wearing the round cap and rather a perswader from than encourager to use them he was at length after a great many of admonitions from authority to conform and entreaties from certain Bishops so to do removed from his Deanery by the sentence of Matthew Archbishop of Canterbury an 1564. Afterwards he obtained the Mastership of the Hospital of Will. de Wygston at Leycester besides the Penitentiaryship or the Prebend of St. Pancras in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul where continuing for some time in teaching he was by the leave and favour of the Queen permitted to be a Theological Lecturer in Whittingdon Coll. in London but before he had enjoyed that place 6 years he was taken with the palsie Whereupon retiring to his hospital spent the remaining part of his days in preaching and writing Those works that go under his name are these Letter to the professours of Christs Gospel in the Parish of Allhallows in Bredstreet Lond.

He also corrected and caused to be published Two Sermons the first of repentance the other of the Lords Supper Lond. 1581. oct written by his friend Joh. Bradford with other things of that Author At length Tho. Sampson having lived beyond the age of Man in a perpetual motion as 't were for the carrying on of the holy cause laid down his head and gave up the ghost on the 9. Apr. in Fifteen hundred eighty and nine year 1589 whereupon his body was buried in the Chappel of the Hospital of Will. de Wygston before-mention'd Over his grave was a monument soon after fastned to the South wall thereof with an inscription on it erected by his Sons John and Nathaniel Sampson A copy of which with other matters of the said Author which I have not here mention'd you may see in Hist Antiq. Univ. Ox. lib. 2. p. 254. From this Tho. Sampson is if I mistake not descended Tho. Sampson a pretender to Poetry Author of Fortunes fashion portrayed in the troubles of Lady Elizab. Gray Wife of Edw. 4. Lond. 1613. qu. a Poem dedicated to Henr. Pilkington of Gadsby in Leicestershire JOHN BROWNSWERD or Brunswerdus as he writes himself a most noted Master of the Latin Tongue was born as I conceive in Cheshire and had a considerable part of his education in this University but mostly as 't is thought in Cambridge where I presume he took one or more Degrees After his retreat thence he setled at Macclesfield in Cheshire where he taught the Free-school with very good success and having obtained a good report and honourable advancement in the Latin Empire was deservedly numbred amongst the best Latin Poets that lived in the Reign of Qu. Elizab. His works are Progymnasmata aliquot poemata Lond. 1590. qu. with other things which I have not yet seen He took his last farewel of this world on the 15. Apr. year 1589 in Fifteen hundred eighty and nine and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of Macclesfield before-mentioned In which year Tho. Newton his sometimes Scholar did publish a book of Encomia's of certain illustrious Men of England in which he hath this Distick of Brownswerd Rhetora Grammaticum Polyhistora teque poetam Quis negat is lippus luscus obesus iners And soon after the said Newton whose respect to his memory was great set up a Monument on the South wall of the said Chancel with an inscription thereon stiling Brownswerd Vir pius doctus and concluding with these two verses Alpha poetarum Coryphaeus Grammaticorum Flos Paedagogor●a hac sepelitur humo GEORGE PETTIE a younger Son of John le Petite or Pettie of Tetsworth and Stoke-Tatmach in Oxfordshire Esq was born in that County and at about 16 years of age an 1564 was a Scholar or Student of Ch. Ch. under Mr. Tho. Barnard Canon thereof and took one Degree in Arts as a member of that house in the latter end of the Year 1568. Soon after he left the University travelled beyond the Seas and at length became excellent for his passionate penning of amorous stories equal for poetical invention with his dear Friend Will. Gager and as much commended for his neat stile as any of his time He hath written a book intit A Petite pallace of Pettie his pleasure containing

A Map of Virginia with a Description of the Country the Commodities People Government and Religion Oxon. 1612. qu. 2. New Englands Trials c. Lond. 1620. qu. 3. General History of Virginia c. Lond. 1624. qu. 4. Travels in Europe c. Lond. 1630. with other things but this Captain Smyth was a Cheshire man and whether he had received any Education in this University of Oxon I cannot say to the contrary JOHN PRIME Son of Rob. Prime a Fletcher was born in the Parish of Halywell in the North Suburb of Oxford received his Grammatical Literature in Wykehams School near to Winchester admitted perpetual Fellow of New Col. in 1570. took the degrees in Arts holy Orders and became a noted puritanical Preacher in the City of his Nativity and much favoured by Dr. Cooper Bishop of Winchester In 1589. he proceeded in Divinity being at that time Vicar of Adderbury alias Eabburbury in Oxfordshire where he became much followed for his edifying way of preaching He hath written A short treatise of Sacraments generally and in special of Baptism and of the Supper Lond. 1582. oct Treatise of nature and grace Lond. 1583 oct Sermon briefly comparing the State of King Solomon and his Subjects together with the condition of Queen Elizabeth and her People preached at S.

Nov. 1588. on Psal 23. 4. Oxon. 1588. oct These as I think were all the books and Sermons that he hath published tho he intended more had he not been cut off in his middle Age. At length after he had been Vicar of Adderbury about 7 years he concluded his last day there about the 12 of April in fifteen hundred ninety and six year 1596 and was buried in the Church of that place but hath neither Epitaph or Inscription over his Grave FRANCIS KNOLLIS Son of Robert Knollis of Rotherfield-Gray commonly called Grays near to Henley in Oxfordshire did receive for a time his Grammatical and Dialectical Education in this University particularly as it seems in Magd. coll Afterwards he retired to his patrimony and at length to the court and became one of the Gentlemen Pensioners to K. Hen. 8. in the latter end of his reign When a reformation was set on foot by King Ed. 6. he was so zealous for the religion then professed as that when Qu. Mary began to reign and grow severe towards the Reformed party he fled into Germany where he sorted himself for a time among several of the English Divines that went away about the same time for conscience sake After the death of that Queen he returned and became so much in esteem by Q. Elizabeth who stood totally affected to the reformation as that in the first year of her reign he was made choice of for one of her privy Council and shortly after that she made him Vice-chamberlain of her houshold and employed him in matters of concern beyond the Seas In 1566. he was actually created Master of Arts being then chief Steward of the City of Oxon Captain of the Halbertiers and about that time Treasurer of the Queens Chamber in the place of Sir John Mason deceased Afterwards he was trusted with the custody of Mary Qu. of Scots while she was a prisoner in Bolton-castle in Yorkshire and in the 29. Elizab. being then a Knight he was one of those who by commission sate in judgment upon the said Queen at Foderingey At length he was made Treasurer of her Majesties Houshold and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter being always by many accounted a faithful subject an honest and learned man and a person of great prudence and wisdom and by others so a great a friend to Calvin in his heart whose principles he embraced while he lived at Geneva that he was never a cordial friend to Episcopacy but rather a patron of the Non-conformists which appeared by several of his actions while he was a privy Counsellour His writings are these Treatise against the usurpation of Papal Bishops Printed 1608. in oct some attribute it to Jo. Rainolds the famous Divine A General Survey of the Isle of Wight with all the Castles and Fortresses near adjoining This is a MS. in fol. and was sometimes in the Lib. of Arthur E. of Anglesey From whence we may suppose that the author had some office in or relating to the said Isle but what in truth I cannot tell I have seen also several of his speeches spoken in Parliaments letters of state and letters written by him to the said Jo. Rainolds between whom there was great amity and intercourse but few or none of those letters or speeches I think are printed At length paying his last debt to nature in the Summer time before Septemb. year 1595 in fifteen hundred ninety and six was as I presume buried at Grays before mentioned By his Wife Catherine daughter of Will. Cary Esque by Mary his Wife daughter of Thom. Bolein Earl of Wiltshire as also Sister to the Lady Anne Bolein second Wife to K.

Robertson Afterwards he went with his Father and others into Germany and at his return if not happily before became a Commoner of the said College where he obtained so much literature as afterwards to gain the character by a learned Author of homo virtute animi dotibus non infimus and of homo religionis studiosissimus liberalissima literatura egregic ditatus c. But he dying without issue the estate went to the next Son called William afterwards Earl of Ba●bury He had another Son named Francis 2 Knight whom I shall mention elsewhere as also a fourth who was a member of the said College and all four admired by some and envied by others for their great vertue and towardliness JOHN SMITH was a Berkshire man born as it seems became Fellow of St. Johns coll in the Founders time Master of Arts in in 1560. and afterwards Schoolmaster at and Vicar of the Church of St. Laurence in Reading in the aforesaid County He hath written The Doctrine of Prayer in general for all men that is universally for all Mankind c. Lond. 1595. qu. What else he hath published I know not being a difficult matter to distinguish his Works from others of both his names and time And whether he was author of The use of the Gospel printed 1580. in qu. which is said to be written by Jo. Smith I cannot tell The said Joh. Smith of Reading did give way to Fate there and was buried

known to that zealous R. Catholick Joh. Pitseus who speaks by the by very honourably of him What he wrote or published after he became a Jesuit I know not Sure it is if one says true that this our author was most critical in the Hebrew Language and that he did make and digest an easie and short method reduced into Tables for Novices to learn that Language which I suppose was a Compendium of a Hebrew Grammar He paid his last debt to Nature at Naples on the 9. of Jan. according to the accompt there followed in fifteen hundred ninety and eight which is 97 with us and was buried as I have been informed in the college of the Jesuits there He left behind him several of his Labours in writing some of which are preserved as rarities but whether any of them have been since printed I cannot justly tell His elder Brother Ellis Heywood I have mentioned before under the year 1272. num 180. HENRY PERRY a Welsh-man born was educated in Gloucester hall took the degrees in Arts was beneficed in his own Country and as a Member of Jesus coll took the degree of Bach. of Div. 1597.

Elizabeth received his first breath in the ancient Borough of Southampton in Hampshire educated in Wykeham's School made perpetual Fellow of New coll 1575. took one degree in the Civil Law and soon after became Minister of Wooten-Basset in Wiltshire where being much resorted to for his edifying way of Preaching especially by the Puritan did for the satisfaction of the neighbourhood and others publish Several Sermons as 1 Sermon upon the Words of St. Paul the Apost unto Tim.

Printed in oct about the same time Besides these it is said he hath published more but such I have not yet seen nor do I know any thing else of the author only that he was much in esteem in the latter end of Q. Elizabeth PHILIP FERDINANDUS a Polonian born originally as it seems a Jew afterwards a R. Catholick and at length a Protestant entred into this University in a poor and obscure condition initiated in Academical learning by the exhibition of certain Doctors of whom Dr. Ayray and Dr. Rainolds were of the number who perceiving that his excellency lay in the Hebrew Language put upon him the Office of teaching it privately in several colleges and halls At length being registred among the Students of the University after he had taken the Oath of Supremacy and the usual Oath to the University did translate into Latin Haec sunt verba dei c. praecepta in Monte Sinai data Judaeis sunt 613 quorum 365 negativa 248 affirmativa collecta per Pharisaeum Magistrum Abrahamum filium Kattani impressa in bibliis Bombergiensibus anno à Mundo creato 5288.

C. coll in Feb. 1554. aged 14. or thereabouts Probationer in Nov. 1558. and Bach. of Arts the year following which was the highest degree he took in this University For being a zealous Catholick he left it before he was Master went beyond the Seas and at length settling in Rome was exhibited to by Cardinal Gabr. Palaeot Archb. of Bononia in whose Family he lived several years He had the degree of D. of Div. conferred upon him at Rome as it seems where he was accounted the most skilful person in divers Tongues of his time and the worthy ornament of the English Exiles He hath written Miscellanea celebrium sententiarum Sacrae Scripturae vol. 1.

Severiani to the very great reluctancy of those that knew him year 1598 in fifteen hundred ninety and eight and was buried as I presume either in the Church of that Parish wherein the said house was situated or in the Chappel of the English coll there The Reader is now to know that one Will. Shepreve or Shepery who was elected Probationer of Exeter coll 17. Octob. 1559. was admitted perpetual Fellow thereof 16. Nov. the next year And being admitted Bach. of Arts in the beginning of Dec. 1561. took no higher degree but left his Fellowship in 1568. This William Shepreve I take to be quite different from the former and tho of kin to him and a good Scholar yet I know nothing that he hath published THOMAS STAPLETON the most learned R. Catholick of all his time Son of Will. Stapleton was born of a gentile Family at Henfield in Sussex obtained the first rudiments of Grammar at Canterbury under John Twyne a noted Master there compleated them at Wyk●ham's School near Winchester admitted perpetual Fellow of New coll in 1554. made Prebendary or Canon of Chichester a little before Q.

THOMAS WILLIAMS a Welsh-man born did spend several years among the Oxonians but whether in Brasenose coll where one of both his Names took the degree of Master of Arts in 1573. I cannot tell Afterwards he entred on the Physick line but took no degree in that Faculty retired into his Country and practiced there This person who was also a curious Critick in his mother-tongue wrote Dictionarium Latino-Britannicum A work of many years labour which being left imperfect in some places was reviewed and corrected by Dr. Jo.

James 1. held in great admiration at Court not only for his preaching but most excellent and polite discourse His younger years he spent in poetical fancies and composing of plays mostly Tragedies but at riper he became a pious and grave Divine an ornament to his profession and a grace to the pulpit No two men were ever more intimate than he and Tob. Mathews Dean of Ch. Ch. for they intirely loved each other for vertue and ingenuity sake and when Mathews was to remove to the Deanery of Durham in 1584. our author Eedes intended to have him on his way thither for ones days journey but so betrayed were they by the sweetness of each others company and their own friendship that he not only brought him to Durham but for a pleasant pennace wrote their whole journey in latin verse intit Iter boreale several copies of which did afterwards fly abroad Then also and before in their youthful acquaintance passed so many pretty apothegms between that if a collection had been made of them they would have fill'd a manual His works are Iter boreale MS.

The truth is Storer obtained from the then Academians great credit for that work particularly from his friend Ch. Fitzgeoffry the poet of Broadgates hall but more among others for his Pastoral Aires and Madrigalls which were afterwards remitted into a book called Englands Hol●con What other things this ingenious person hath extant I know not nor any thing else of him only that he died in the parish of St. Michael Basinghaugh within the City of London in November year 1604 in sixteen hundred and four and was as I conceive buried in the Church there Divers copies of verses were made on his death by his acquaintance in this University and elsewhere but are not as I conceive printed RICHARD TURNBULL was born in Lincolnshire admitted Scholar of C. C. coll 9. Nov. 1566. aged 16. or thereabouts and was afterwards made Fellow M. of Arts and a Priest At length being beneficed in London where he was much followed for his edifying way of preaching wrote and published An exposition on the canonical Epistle of St. James Lond. 1591. oct in 28 Sermons Exposition on the Canon Epist of St. Jude In 10 Sermons Printed there the same year in oct Four Sermons on Psal 15. Which Sermons with the former Expositions were printed in quarto at Lond. 1606. the author being then dead I find that one Will. Turnfull L. L. Bac. was installed Preb. of Worcester 1557. which he resigned in 1558. being then Parson of Fladbury in Worcestershire and that he died in Jul. or Aug. 1573. Whether this William was a writer or had any relation to Richard before-mentioned it doth not yet appear to me WILLIAM HUBBOCKE was born in the County Palatine of Durham elected from Magd. hall to be Scholar of Corp.

In 1565. he was elected Publick Orator and in 69. he was made Hebrew Professor of the University In 1572. he was a candidate for the degree of Bachelaur of Div. but whether he was really admitted I find not Soon after being distempered in brain by too much lucubration the famous Mr. Rich.

Argall by Margaret his Wife Daughter of John Talkarne of the County of Cornwal was born in London entred a Student in Ch. Ch. in the latter end of Q. Mary took the degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated in 1565. and was Senior of the Act celebrated the 18. of Feb. the same year Afterwards he studied the Supream Faculty was admitted to the reading of the Sentences and at length became Parson of a Market Town in Suffolk called Halesworth He was always esteemed a noted Disputant during his stay in the University was a great Actor in Plays at Ch. Ch. particularly when the Queen was entertained there 1566. and when at ripe years a tolerable Theologist and Preacher But so much was he devoted to his studies that being withal unmindful of the things of his World he lived and died like a Philosopher He hath written and published De vera paenitentia Lond. 1604 oct Introductio ad artem Dialecticam Lond. 1605. oct In which book ver facete and pleasant the author saith of himself in the Postpredicaments under Simul tempore that whereas the great God had raised many of his Cronies and Contemporaries to high dignities in the Church as Dr. Tho. Bilson to the See of Winton Mart. Heton to Ely Hen. Robinson to Carlile Tob. Mathews to Durham c. yet he an unworthy and poor old Man was still detained in the chains of poverty for his great and innumerable sins that he might repent with the Prodigal Son and at length by God's favour obtain Salvation What other things he hath written I know not nor any thing else of him only that he was reputed by the neighbouring Ministers of Halesworth a great Scholar and that being at a Feast at Cheston a mile distant from that Town he died suddenly at the Table Afterwards his body being carried to Halesworth it was buried in the Church there 8. year 1606 Octob. in sixteen hundred and six Now I am got into the name of Argall I must let the Reader know that in my searches I find one Rich.

In which shewing himself an active person first under the opinion of a Presbyterian and afterwards of an Independant was design'd and prick'd down for one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. an 1648. but whether he sate when Sentence was passed upon him I cannot justly say it notwithstanding one or more authors say that he did then sit and was numbred among the Judges On the 14. Feb. next following the decollation of that King he was appointed one of the 30 persons for the Council of State and ever after shewed himself a Devoto to Oliver's interest On the 30. of Aug. 1658. being then Monday and the windiest day that had before hapned for 20 years he paid his last debt to nature being then tormented with the Strangury and much anxiety of Spirit At which time as the then vulgar talk was the Devil came to take away Oliv. Cromwell who then lay on his death-bed but being not prepared for him he gave Bond for his future appearance and accordingly on Friday following being the 3. of Sept. he made good his promise The carkass of Dennis Bond was buried in the Abby Church of St. Peter at Westminster where continuing about three years was with the bodies of other Cromwellians taken up in the month of Sept. 1661. and buried in St. Margarets Church-yard adjoyning before the back-door of the lodgings belonging to one of the Canons of Westminster I find one John Bond to be author of a Pamphlet intit A whip for the Judges Bishops and Papists c.

Clem. 8. made a Priest and about the same time had a Canonry in St. Peters Church in Doway bestowed on him The first thing that made him known to curious Scholars was his exposition of an ancient enigmatical Epitaph which was in his time remaining near to Bononia the title of which is Aelia Laelia Crispis Epitaphium antiquum in agro Bononiensi adhuc videtur à diversis hactenus interpretatum variè novissimè autem a Ric.

Overbury of Boorton on the hill near to Morton in Marsh in Gloucestershire Esquire by Mary his Wife Daughter of Giles Palmer of Compton-Scorfen in the Parish of Ilmington in Warwickshire was born at Compton-Scorfen in the house of his Mothers Father and educated partly in Grammar learning in those parts In Michaelmas Term an 1595. he became a Gent. Commoner of Queens coll in the year of his age 14. where by the benefit of a good Tutor and severe discipline he made great proficiency in Logick and Philosophy In 1598. he as a Squires Son took the degree of Bach. of Arts which being compleated by Determination in the Lent following he left the University and setled for a time in one of the Temples where he had before been entred in order to study the municipal Laws Afterwards he travelled for a time and returned a most accomplished person which the happiness of his Pen both in Poetry and Prose doth declare About the time of the Coronation of King Jam. 1. he became familar with Sir Rob. Carre Kt. of the Bathe who perceiving him to be a person of good parts and abilities and withal sober and studious did take him nearer to and made him his bosome friend Soon after Carre being in great favour with the King he not only procured Overbury to be Knighted at Greenwich 19. June 1608. but his Father to be made one of the Judges in Wales about that time But so it was that a familiarity bing made between Carre then Viscount Rochester and the Lady Frances Daughter of Thomas Earl of Suffolk and Wife of Robert E. of Essex it did so much distaste Overbury who knew her to be a Woman of no good reputation that he endeavoured out of pure affection and friendship to diswade Carre from her company fearing withal upon very good grounds then on foot that he might in the end marry her and so consequently ruin his honour and himself adding that if he went on in that business he would do well to loo● to his standing Which advice Carre taking impatiently because thereby he had touch'd the Lady in her honour discovered all to her Whereupon she thinking that he might prove a great obstacle to their enjoyment of each other and to the marriage then design'd she never ceased till she had procured his overthrow It hapning therefore about that time that Overbury being designed to be sent Embassador into Russia by the King which was proposed to him by the Lord Chancellour and the Earl of Pembroke Carre whose counsel he asked advised him to refuse the service by making some fair excuse Which advice he followed supposing that it did proceed out of kindness but for his refusal he was committed to the Tower 21. Apr. 1613. Soon after he being closely confin'd she by her instruments endeavoured to work his ruine by Poyson the particulars of which are now too many to enumerate but Nature being very strong in Overbury it was repell'd by breaking out in botches and blaynes on his Body At length by a poyson'd Clister given to him under pretence of curing him he was dispatch'd in Sept. following But before two Months were past all being discovered his death was closely examined and several persons being found guilty of and consenting to it were afterwards executed viz. Sir Jervice Elwaies Lievtenant of the Tower consenting Rich. Weston and James Franklin who attended Overbury in his Chamber and gave him the Meats and Broaths wherein the poyson was mingled and Anne Turner Widdow the preparer of them actually

16. or thereabouts where continuing an indefatigable Student several years took the degrees in Arts and then as 't is said translated himself to St. Maries hall In 1596. he became the first Astronomy Professor in Gresham coll in London wherein as in Oxon he always led a retired and private course of Life delighting with profound speculations and the diligent searching out of hidden verities It was also observed that tho he never published any thing while he injoyed this earthly Tabernacle yet to avoid the fruitless curiosity of that which some take upon them to know only that they may know he was ever most ready in private either by conference or writing to instruct others repairing unto them if they were desirous of his resolution in any doubtful points of learning within the ample circuit of his deep apprehension The things that he wrote were many the first of which that was published was as I conceive this De ponderibus pretiis veterum nummorum eorumque cum recentioribus collatione lib. 1. Lond. 1614. qu. Published by his Nephew Rob. Brerewood of Chester who was Commoner of Bras coll 1605. aged 17.

Byfield a Minister in Chester and by him answered was replied upon by our author in A second Treatise of the Sabbath Ox. 1632. qu. The Puritans it seems then before our authors death 1613. did verily think there was a Plot against the power of godliness but could never be pulled down whilst the Sabbath stood upright and therefore the Patrons of impiety as they said did rightly project to take that out of the way which stood so much in theirs Rich. Byfield did vindicate his Brother against Brerewood and Joh. Ley wrote partly against him in his Sunday a Sabbath An old and zealous Puritan named Theophilus Brabourne an obscure Schoolmaster or as some say a Minister of Suffolk was very stiff for a Sabbath in his books published 1628. and 31. and endeavoured to take off all objections that might be said against one yet by maintaining the indispensable morality of the fourth Commandment and consequently the necessary observation of the Jewish Sabbath did incline several of his Readers to Judaism Tho. Broad who was esteemed an Anti-Sabbatarian did write almost to the same effect that Brerewood did tho Brerewood's first book did dissent from his opinions in those points opposed by George Abbot in his Vindiciae Sabbathi wherein are also surveyed all the rest that then had lately written on that subject concerning the Sabbath viz. Francis White B. of Ely Pet. Heylyn D. D. and Christop Dowe whose several treatises on the said subject he calls Anti-Sabbatarian Tractatus duo quorum primus est de meteoris secundus de oculo Oxon. 1631. Published by Tho. Sixesmith M.

Vaughan sometimes Fellow of C. C. coll whom I shall mention elsewhere Our author Dr. Jackson also wrote An historical narration This I have not yet seen nor do I know farther of its title It was licensed by Dr. Edw. Martin Domestick Chaplain to Bishop Laud without his privity for which he turn'd him out of his service as he himself saith and the book called in and suppressed But Prynne an implacable enemy to that Bishop saith that the said Historical narration which was the vilest imposture that ever was thrust upon our Church was licensed by the said Martin with Lauds privity and that the calling of it in was the act of Archb. Abbot upon Prynns complaint and the publick scandal it gave much against Lauds will who ever since connived at the sale of them At length after our author Dr. Th. Jackson had spent 60 years or more in this life mostly in studies and devotion surrendred up his devout Soul to him that gave it on the 21. of Sept. in sixteen hundred and forty year 1640 and was buried in the Inner Chappel of Corp.

The Reader is now to know that there was another Tho. Jackson who was a writer also born in Lancashire educated as it seems in Cambridge afterwards Minister of Wye in Kent and at length Prebendary of Canterbury and D. of Div. This

after his death in the collegiat Church he built an house to be employed for a School joyning to the coll there on the West part Of this School he appointed a Master and an Usher who were to teach Children Grammar after the use manner and form of the School at Banbury in Oxfordshire where Tho. Stanbridge taught the Grammar composed by John Stanbridge He appointed the President of C.

Whether this School did go to ruine in the time of K. Ed. 6. or was like to be dissolved I know not Sure I am that Hugh Bexwyck clerk and Joan Bexwyck widdow setled the said School 10 Elizab. THOMAS HALSAY or Halsey an English man was conversant with the Muses in this Universitie for a time but in what house or hostle for Civilians or Canonists I cannot yet tell Afterwards travelling beyond the Seas where I presume he had the degree of Doctor of Laws conferred upon him he was made Penitentiarie of the English Nation in the Church of S. Peter in Rome and the Popes Prothonotarie of Ireland At length by the endeavours of Christop Bainbridge Archb. of York and Cardinal he was by the provision of P. Jul. 2. made Bishop of Laighlin in Ireland about the year 1513 but never lived as it seems to visit his See or abide there In 1515 and 16. he was present at the council of Lateran while in the mean time his Vicar general Charles Cavenagh managed his diocess After his return into England in order to go into Ireland year 1519 he died in Westminster about fifteen hundred and nineteen whereupon his body was buried in the Church belonging to the Savoy hospital in the Strand Near his tomb-stone on the left side was Gawin Douglas Bishop of Dunkeld in Scotland buried an 1522. having been suddenly deprived of his life by the Pest In the same year 1519 died also Joh. Imurily Bishop of Ross in Ireland sometimes a Cistercian monk of Maur in the county of Cork but whether he was ever of Oxon. I cannot tell Sure I am that several of the sirname of Immerley studied there in the time or age wherein Jo. Imurily lived JOHN PENNY whose native place is as yet to me unknown was educated in Lincoln coll but whether in the condition of a Fellow I cannot tell Afterwards he being Doctor of the Laws and noted for an eminent Canonist was made Bishop of Bangor in 1504 having before been Abbat of Leycester as John L●land saith where sitting till 1508. was by the Popes Bull dated at Rome 10. cal Oct. in the same year translated to Carlile and on the 23 of January following paid his obedience to the Archb. of York year 1520 He gave way to fate about fifteen hundred and twenty but where buried unless in his church of Carlile I know His predecessor in that See was Dr. Rog. Laybourne of Cambridge who by his will dated 17. Jul. 1507. desired to be buried in the parish church of S. James near to Charing Cross by London but whether he died in that or in the year following I cannot tell because there was no probat made of his Will Walter Redman D. D. and Master of the coll at Greystock in Cumberland was one of his Executors WILLIAM ATWATER a Somersetshire man born as it seems was first Demie and afterwards Fellow of Magd. coll where while he continued in the state of Bachelaur he was esteemed a good Disputant in Philosophy as afterwards when Master in Divinity In 1489. Dec. 19. he was collated to the Church of Hawbridge in the Dioc. of Wells and in 1492. in Feb. as it seems he proceeded D. of D. In 1497. and several years after he did undergo the office of Commissary of the University being then Rector of Pedylhynton in the Di●c of Sarum and Vicar of Comnore near Abendon in Berks and in Jul. 1498. he was made Rector of Dychcat commonly called Dichet in Somersetshire by the death of John Gunthorp Which Rectory he holding till Oct. 1513. was in the next month succeeded therein by Andr. Ammonius an Italian then Preb. of Compton-Dunden in the Church of Wells In 1499. the said Doctor Atwater became Canon of Windsore and about the same time Fellow of Eaton coll and Registrary of the most Noble Order of the Garter In 1502. I find him to be Dean of the Kings Chappel and on the 5. of July 1506. I find him installed Chanc. of the Church of Lincoln Which dignity he holding six years Nich. Bradbridge was installed therein 16. Nov. 1512. In the beginning of Sept. 1509. he was made Dean of Salisbury upon the promotion of Thom. Ruthall or Rowthall to the See of Durham in which year Thom. Writhiously Garter K. of Arms granted to him the said Atwater a Coat of Arms by the name of Will. Atwater Professor of Divinity of Davington in Somersetshire and Dean of the Kings Chappel c. by which it may appear that he was originally of Davington if such a Town or Village or Hamlet be in that County On the ● June 1514. he was installed by proxy Archdeacon of Huntingdon in the place of Joh. Constable Doctor of Decrees and being made Bishop the same year Rich. Rawlyns D. D. was installed in that Dignity on the 18. of Novemb. He was a person much esteemed and valued by Cardinal Wolsey who finding him a man of parts did use his advice and council in all or most of his publick concerns At length by his endeavours he was made his Successor in the Episcopal See of Lincoln to which being consecrated on the twelfth day of Nov. 1514. fate there to the time of his death year 1520 which hapned in fifteen hundred and twenty He was buried in the great middle Isle of the Cath. Chat Lincoln at the foot of the Tomb of Bishop Alnwyke and had soon after a large tomb-stone laid over his grave with the portraiture of a Bishop engraven on a large brass plate fastned thereunto with this inscription following engraven also on plates of brass Hic requiescit reverendus in Christo Pater Willielmus Atwater sacre Theologie professor regum Henrici septimi octavi sacelle prius Decanus mox eorundem a consiliis postea hujus percelebris Ecclesie Episcopus Presedit annos sex menses tres Obiit anno etatis sue octogesimo primo consecrationis septimo à Christo nato millesimo quingentessimo vicessimo die mensis Februarii quarto WILLIAM ROKEBY Brother to Sir Rich.

resigning his Archdeaconry of the East-riaing of Yorksh Will. Poteman sometimes Warden of All 's coll as I guess was installed on the 16. of the same month in the same year who dying 25. March 1493. Hen. Cornbull succeeded him Afterwards Edm. Audley was translated to the See of Hereford upon the death of Thom. Myllyng sometimes a Student among the Benedictines of Gloucester coll in the Suburbs of Oxon the temporalities of which were given to him 26. Dec. 1492. and from thence to Salisbury the temporalities of which See also were put into his hands on the 2. of April 1502. and about that time was made Chancellour of the most Noble Order of of the Garter In 1518. he gave 400 l. to Linc. coll to purchase lands for the use thereof and about that time bestowed upon the said house the Patronage of a Chauntry which he had lately founded in a Chappel built by him in the north part of the Choire of the Cath. Ch. at Salisbury He also was a Benefactor to the reparation of the Congregation-house sometimes a Library on the north side of S. Maries Chancel in Oxford to the erection of that curious piece of workmanship the stone Pulpit in the said Ch. finished 1508. at the bottom of which were his Arms a Fret impaled by the See of Sarum and gave 200 marks for the supply of Chichleys chest belonging to the University which had before been robb'd of its treasure But whether he built the choire or chancel of S. Maries church or gave the old Organs as a certain author is pleased to tell us I find it no where to appear At length departing this mortal life in a good old age at Ramsbury in Wilts year 1524 on the 23 of Aug. in fiveteen hundred twenty and four was buried in the chappel before-mention'd built by him in honour of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary within the cath ch of Sarum to the reparation of which cathedral he bequeathed threescore pounds After his death Laur. Campegius Cardinal of S. Anastasius was made Bishop of Salisbury but whither he being almost continually absent or any of his Successors till the time of Dr. Seth Ward an 1671. were ever chancellours of the order of the Garter in doth not appear THEODORICK O-BRIEN sometimes written Terence and Terlach O-brien was descended from an ancient and noble family of his name in Ireland and after he had spent some time in good letters here in Oxon became Bishop of Killaloe in the said Country and a person of great name there for his liberality and hospitality yet addicted to warfare more than became his coat He paid his last debt to nature in fiveteen hundred twenty and five Several years before his time was another of both his names Bishop of that place and another after him whereupon by writers this Bishop was commonly written and called Terence O-Brien the second JOHN YOUNG received his first breath in this world at Newton-Longvill in Bucks was educated in Wykehams School near Winchester became perpetual Fellow of New coll in 1482. and left it in 1502. being then or about that time Doct. of Div. and Rector of S. Martins Church in Oxon. Afterwards he became well known to Cardinal Tho. VVolsey by whose endeavours he was made Dean of Chichester Bishop titular of Callipolis or Galipoli a City in Thrace about 1517. Judge as 't is said of the Prerogative of Canterbury and Warden of New coll in 1521. He died 28. year 1526 March in fifteen hundred twenty and six and was buried as I suppose in the Chappel of the said College under a Marble-stone that he had lain there some time before his death with an inscription thereon and a blank for the time of his death to be filled up by his Executor or Overseer of his last Will and Testament but was never performed The reader is to know that there was another John Young who from being Prebendary of Apesthorpe in the cath ch of York was admitted Dean of that Church by the name and title of Jo. Younge LL. D. on the 17. of May 1514. being at that time Master of the Rolls But he dying 25. Apr. 1516. and buried in the chappel of the Rolls in chancery-lave near London must not be taken to be the same with the former Besides the said two I find others of both their Names as 1 John Young a Monk of Ramsey who being well skill'd in the Hebrew tongue saved many books of that Language that were in the Library of that Monastery when 't was dissolved in 1535. or thereabouts 2 Joh. Young Giovanus a native of Yorkshire educated in Trin. coll in Cambridge afterwards Master of Pemb. hall and Vice-chancellor of that University of whom and his writings Baleus and Pitseus will inform you 3 Jo. Young one of the Bonhoms or Good men of the Monastery of Ashrugg in Bucks Who being turn'd out thence at the dissolution by K. Hen. 8. entred himself a Sojourner in Exeter coll about 1539. He was of kin to Jo. Young B. of Galipoli but what name or eminence there was in him I find not 4 Jo. Young born at Newton Longvill before mention'd Fellow of New coll 1512. Rector of his native place in 1525. and died therein 1545. which Jo. was nearly related to the Bishop WILLIAM HOW a Buckinghamshire man born as it seems or at least descended from those of his name living at or near the Wycombs was educated in all kind of Learning in this University and by the title of Master of Arts thereof and the Kings chaplain did supplicate the Ven. congregation of Regents in 1512. that he might be admitted to the reading of the Sentences but whether he was really admitted it appears not Afterwards he travelled was admitted Doct. of Div. in an University beyond the Seas and at his return retir'd to the University in the beginning of the year 1526. where by the name of Will. How Episcopus Aurensis supplicated the said congregation that whereas he had been created Doct. of Divinity beyond the Seas and had been a student in this University many years he might be incorporated in the same faculty which being granted simpliciter he was forthwith incorporated This Bishoprick in the same I presume with Auriensis or Orensis commonly called Orense under the Archbishoprick of Compostella in Spain to which courtry as 't is probable this W. How was sent about business by Catherine of Spain Queen of England the Royal consort to K. Hen. 8. I find one Will. How M. of A. presented by the King to the Church of Shipton-Mallet in Somersetshire on the death of Mr. Reynold West in the beginning of Aug. 1516. and about that time became Rector of Alre or Aller in the same county but this Will. How dying in 1521. or 22. must not be understood to be the same with the former To this last was Joh. How prior of Plympton in Devonshire related who living to see

moity of the Church of Cotgrave He gave way to fate about the beginning of Dec. as it seems in fifteen hundred fifty and five year 1555 whereupon one Thomas Milner was instituted in the said moity on the 18. of Dec. the same year and Cuthb Scot. D. of D. of Cambridge was much about that time nominated to succeed him in the See of Chester the temporalities of which were given to him 25. of Sept. 1556. ARTHUR BOKELY or Bulkley was descended from an ancient Family of his name living in the Isle of Anglesie but in what coll or hall he was educated unless in New Inn I cannot justly tell About the time that he took the degree in the Canon Law he was beneficed and dignified in Wales where he was held in esteem for a good Canonist At length being promoted to the See of Bangor and consecrated thereunto had the temporalities of that See given to him on the eleventh of Febr. 1541. After his death which happened in fifteen hundred fifty and five year 1555 succeeded in the said See Dr. Will. Glynn of Qu. coll in Cambridge an excellent Scholar and a very good disputant of his time who dying about the latter end of May 1558. was buried in the Choire of the Cath. Ch. at Bangor under that very place where the Sepulcher on Goodfriday and in Easter time use to stand Not long after his death Qu. Mary nominated to succeed in that See one Maurice Clennock a Welsh man Bach. of Law of this University Preb. of York and an Officer in the Prerogative Court under Card. Pole Archb. of Canterbury but the said Queen dying before he was consecrated thereunto he with Goldwell Bish of S. Asaph fled beyond the Seas and going to Rome Clennock some years after became the first Rector of the English Hospital there after it was converted into a college for English students where he was mostly called by the name of Dr. Maurice and much noted by the said students for his great partiality used towards his own Country-men of Wales which always caused during his time a great faction between the Welsh and English students abiding in that college ROBERT ALDRICH Doctor of divinity of this University an eminent Orator and Poet of his time became Bishop of Carlile in 1537. and died in the latter end of the year fifteen hundred fifty and five under which year you may see more among the writers In the See of Carlile succeeded Dr. Owen Ogelthorpe of whom I shall make large mention among these Bishops under the year 1560. JOHN HARLEY was born as it seems in Herefordshire or at least extracted from those of his name there admitted Fellow of Magd. coll about 1537. being then Bachelaur of Arts and Master of the Free-school joyning to that college Afterwards proceeding in that faculty he took holy orders became Preacher to the Earl of Warwick and Tutor to his children a zealous Preacher in Oxon against the R. Catholicks upon the coming to the crown of K. Ed. 6. as I have elsewhere told you and at length chaplain to that Prince who for the zeal Harley had in Preaching up the reformed religion gave him a Prebendship in the Church of Worcester on the decease of Humph. Webley Bach. of Div. an 1551. Where being settled he had the rectory of Vpton upon Severne and the Vicaridge of Kederminster in Worcestersh bestowed on him he being then Bach. of Div. Afterwards the See of Hereford being void by the death of Joh. Skipp he was elected Bishop of that place So that being consecrated thereunto on the 26. May 1553. was within few months after deprived of it by Qu. Mary for his wilful avoiding the hearing of Mass and for being married Joh. Leland the famous Antiquary who knew the said Harley well doth in an high manner praise him for his great vertue and learning especially in the classical Authors and Poets for his fine vein in Poetry c. but what he hath published that author tells us not nor Baleus or his follower Pitseus Afterwards Harley absconding for a time did at length go from place to place in an obscure condition to consolate the poor remnant of Protestants and confirm them in their belief but died soon after in his wandring to and fro in England In the See of Hereford succeeded one Rob. Perfey sometimes called Warbington and VVarton formerly Abbat of the exempt Monastery of S. Saviour of Bermondsey educated in the University of Cambridge of which he was Bach. of Divinity who dying in the time of winter 1557. was buried in his own Church at Hereford Afterwards Tho. Raynolds D. D. Dean of Exeter and Warden of Mert. coll was design'd to succeed him by Qu. Mary but she dying before he was consecrated he was laid aside whereupon Joh. Scory a Norfolcian born Doct. of Div. and Chaplain to the Queen succeeded in 1559 having been a sufferer upon account of religion during Qu. Maries reign in which time he wrote An Epistle unto all the faithful that be in prison in England or in any other trouble for the defence of Gods word c. printed at Waterford in Ireland 1555. oct Wherein he doth by the example of divers holy Martyrs comfort encourage and strengthen them particularly to suffer for Christs sake persecution In the same year also he published his translation of S. Augustin's two books the one of Predestination of Saints the other of Perseverance unto the end with the determination of two general Councils concerning that matter Printed in oct And in the year following he published his translation of S. Ciprian's Sermon of Mortality or the willing for saking of this life Also his Exhortation to Martyrdom and his Exhortation to keep and endure the faith of Christ c. Printed in oct This Joh. Scory dyed in his house or palace at VVhitbourne in the country of Hereford 26. June 1585. and was as I suppose buried there He left behind him a Son named Silvanus Scory a very handsom and witty man and of the best education both at home and beyond the Seas that that age could afford His Father lov'd him so dearly that he fleec'd the Church of Hereford to leave him an estate but Silvanus allowing himself the liberty of enjoying all the pleasures of this world reduced it to nothing so that his Son Edm. lived by hanging on Gentlemen and by his shifts Silvanus was also esteemed a learned man and upon that account did Ben. Johnson dedicate to him a piece of his Poetry but whether he published any thing I cannot yet tell nor any thing else of him only that he giving way to fate in the Parish of S. Peter near Pauls Wharff in London in Sept. or Oct. 1617. was buried in the chancel of S. Leonards Church by Shore-a●tch near to the grave of his Mother Elizabeth who dyed 8. March 1592. JOHN BELL a Worcestershire man born as it seems had most of his education in Balliol

Capellanus in 1541. Afterwards he was beneficed and dignified in his own Country and in the Reign of Q. Mary an 1556. became Vicar of Banwell in the dioc of Wells In the year 1566. he was consecrated at Lambeth to the much impoverished See of Landaff and on the sixth day of May the same year the temporalities of that See were restored to him He was buried in the Church of Mathern in Monmouthshire 15. of Nov. in fifteen year 1574 hundred seventy and four aged 66 years leaving then behind him a Wife named Anne Jones alias Henson and several daughters In Landaff succeeded William Blethin another Welsh man of whom I shall make large mention hereafter JOHN PARKHURST sometimes Fellow of Merton college became Bishop of Norwych in 1560. and died towards the latter end of fifteen hundred seventy and four year 1574 under which year you may see more of him among the writers In the said See succeeded Dr. Edm. Freke elected by the Dean and Chapter of Norwych 13. of Jul. 1575. who being translated to Worcester Edm. Scambler D. D. and B. of Peterborough was elected thereunto 15. of Dec. 1584. and was translated in the latter end of that month He died 7. May 1594. aged 85 years and was buried on the 3. of June following in the Cath. Ch. of Norwych between the two Pillars next above the Tomb of Bishop Parkhurst Soon after was a monument of a yard and an half high with his Effigies in Alabaster laying thereon erected over his grave and all inclosed with an high iron grate In the time of that Rebellion which was began by the Presbyterians the grate was taken away the Effigies or Statua broken and the monument of free-stone on which it laid was pulled down as far as the brick-work which being unsightly was afterwards taken away and the space between the pillars left void as it now remains There was an inscription and four verses on it the first of which did run thus Vivo tibi moriorque tibi tibi Christe resurgam After his death Will. Redman Archdeacon of Canterb. and Rector of Bishops-Bourn in Kent Son of Joh. Redman of Shelford in Cambridgshire was promoted to the said See whereupon being elected thereunto 17.

Ch. of Norwych leaving behind him a Relict named Isabell and several sons and daughters as also monies for a publick work to be done in Trin. coll in Cambridge of which he was sometimes Fellow To carry on the succession a little farther tho out of my road I desire the Reader to know that after Redmans death succeeded Dr. Joh. Jegon in the said See of Norwych born at Coggeshall in Essex 10. Dec. 1550. being Son of Rob. Jegon by Joan his Wife daughter of one… White of the same County educated in Grammar learning there and elsewhere became after some years spent in Logick and Philosophy in Cambridge Fellow of S.

June saith one and another the 29. July in fifteen hundred seventy and eight and was buried on the north side of the Choire of the Cath. Ch. of Exeter To him succeeded in the said See Joh.

D. descended from the antient Family of the Babingtons in Nottinghamsh who while he was Chaplain to the Earl of Pembroke assisted his Noble Countess Mary Sidney in her translation of the Psalms For it was more than a Womans skill to express the sense so right as she hath done in her verse and more than the English or Latin translation could give her THOMAS BENTHAM a learned and pious man of his time was born at Shirebourne a Market Town I think in Yorkshire admitted perpetual Fellow of Magd. coll 16. Nov. 1546. proceeded in Arts the year after and about that time did solely addict his mind to the study of Theology and to the learning of the Hebrew tongue in which last he was most excellent as in those of Greek and Latin which he had obtained before he was M. of A. After Q. Mary came to the Crown he was turn'd out of his Fellowship for his forward and malepert zeal against the Cath.

NICHOLAS HEATH or Heth a most wise and learned man of great policy and of as great integrity was descended from the Heaths of Aspley in the Parish of Tamworth in Warwickshire but whether born there where his brother had certain lands I cannot tell was educated for a time in C. C. coll in this University but before he took a degree there

the deprivation of Dr. Alb. Langdale of Cambridge Pursglove being thus deprived he retired to the place of his nativity and with the wealth that he had heaped from the Church founded a Grammar School there and an Hospital for 12 poor and impotent people as also a Grammar School at Gisbourne before-mentioned the donation or patronage of which he gave to the Archbishop of York and his Successors for ever an 1575.

Catholick Religion he was by Q. Mary promoted to the Bishoprick of S. Asaph to which See being elected he had restitution made of the temporalities belonging thereunto 22. January 1555. Soon after he procured the Pope to renew the indulgences granted to such that went in Pilgrimage to S. Winefrids well commonly called Halywell in Flintshire The original of which place with an account of many miracles performed there is largely set down by Robert a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict afterwards Prior of the Congregation of Cluniaks at Shrewsbury in a book intitled Vita mirabilis S. Winefridae Virginis Martyris Abbatissae lib. 2. written by him about the year 1140. 5. Reg. Steph. and dedicated to Guarinus Prior of Worcester the author being then Prior of Shrewsbury before-mentioned So that how it comes to pass that Silv Giraldus who lived afterwards in K. Johns time did not make any mention of the said Well in his Itinerarium Cambriae which Camden doth take notice of I know not After Q. Elizabeth came to the Crown Bishop Goldwell conveyed himself away beyond the Seas was present at the Council of Trent under P. Pius 4. an 1562. and afterwards going to Rome lived very pontificially among the Theatines was appointed by the Pope to baptize Jews there and to confer orders on all such English men that fled their Country for Religion's sake which he did there and in several places elsewhere in other Countries to the time of his death He was esteemed among them a most useful person was had in great veneration for his learning having as I have been informed wrote one or more books and was living at Rheymes in fifteen hundred and eighty year 1580 being then about 80 years of age Afterwards going to Rome died there soon after and was either buried among the Theatines or else in the chappel belonging to the English college there See more of him in Rob. Kynge among these Bishops under the year 1557. as also in a book intit Concertatio Ecclesiae Catholicae in Anglia c. among the matters relating to the martyrdom of Ralph Sherwin Joh. Fox in his book of Acts and Monuments c. doth tell us of one Thom. Goldwell a Priest living at Brussells mentioned in a letter written to Bishop Rich. Thornden in June 1554. but whether he be the same with Tho. Goldwell before-mentioned I cannot tell RICHARD DAVYES sometimes a Student as it seems of New Inn. was consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph in the place of Goldwell before-mentioned 21. Jan. 1559. aged 50 years was translated thence to S. Davids in which See he was confirm'd 21. May 1561. and died in fifteen hundred eighty and one year 1581 under which year you may see more of him among the writers In the See of St. Asaph succeeded Thomas Davyes a Doctor of divinity of Cambridge who being rich left much money for pious uses and setled a Scholarship in Queens coll in the said University He gave way to fate about the Feast of S. Michael 1573. and was buried either in the Church at Abergwilly or in the Church of Llanpedery Kenuen In the See of St. Davids succeeded the said Rich.

Wolseys coll in Oxon was consecrated Bishop of Ely 1559. and died in fifteen hundred eighty and one under which year you year 1581 may see more of him among the writers In the said See succeeded Martin Heton of Oxon whom I shall mention among these Bishops under the year 1609. MATHEW SHEYNE an Irish man born laid a foundation of literature here in Oxon which afterwards he well improved At length returning to his Country was thro several preferments made Bishop of Cork and Cloyne to which being consecrated in 1572. sate thereto the time of his death which hapned according to some on the thirteenth day of June in fifteen hundred eighty year 1582 and two Whether this M. Sheyne or John Sheyne was the author of the book De reipublica I cannot yet tell See in Rich. Shagens among the writers under the year 1570. and in the Fasti 1523. JOHN WATSON was born at a Market Town in Worcestershire called Evesham admitted Fellow of Allsouls coll in 1540. took the degree of Master of Arts two years after and about that time applied his mind to the study of Medicine in which afterwards he had considerable practice At length about the time that Q.

Ch. of Winchester at which time his corps was buried in the body thereof By his last Will

great portion that he had conveyed half the Bishoprick to her that because he had the Gout he could not stand to his marriage with such and the like scoffs to make him ridiculous to the vulgar and odious to the Queen The Earl of Bedford hapning to be present when these tales were told and knowing the Londoners Widdow the Bishop had married said merrily to the Queen after this manner Madam I know not how much the Widdow is above 20. but I know a Son of hers is but a little under forty c. The conclusion of the premises was this that to pacifie his persecutors and to save Banwell he was fain to part with Wyvelscomb commonly called Wilscomb for 99 years and so purchased his peace To conclude his reading had been much his judgment and doctrine sound his government mild and not violent his mind charitable and therefore not to be doubted but when he lost this life he won Heaven In his last days being taken with an quartan Ague he did by advice of his Physicians remove to the place of his Nativity Okingham before-mentioned with hopes of recovery but nothing availing he gave way to fate 19. of Novemb. in fifteen hundred and ninety aged 73 years year 1590 Whereupon being buried on the south side of the Chancel belonging to the Parish Church there had a monument soon after set up in the wall over his grave by his Son Franc.

Davids succeeded Anthony Rudd D. of div of Cambridge and a Yorkshire man born whom I shall mention in the Fasti under the year 1577. JOHN UNDERHILL is according to time to follow Tho. Godwin but before I enter upon him I must let the reader know that after the death of Dr. Hugh Curwyn Bishop of Oxon that See continued void about 21. years At the term of which a great person Sir Fr. Walsingham out of pure devotion to the leases that would yield good fines recommended the said Vnderhill to it perswading him to take it as in a way to a better but as it should seem it was out of his way very much for e're the first fruits were paid he died in much discontent and poverty Yet his preferrer to seem to do some favour to the University for recompence of the spoil done to the Bishoprick of Oxon erected a new lecture at his own charge which Dr. Rainolds of C. C. coll did for some time read as I have told you elsewhere This John Vnderhill was born in an ancient tenement or receptacle for guests called the Cross Inn in St. Martins Parish within the City of Oxon where his name lived two or three generations if not more and continued there till the daughter and heir of Vnderhill was married to one Breys or Brice After he had been trained up in Grammar learning in Winchester school he was sent to New coll of which he became true and perpetual fellow in 1563. After he had taken the degree of M. of Arts it hapned that Doctor Horne Bishop of Winchester visited the said coll but Vnderhill making opposition by questioning the Bishops right for what he did or should do as to visitation he was removed from his fellowship in 1576. Whereupon making his complaint to Robert Earl of Leycester chancellour of the University of Oxon he hearkned to and encouraging him to go to law with the Bishop for what he had done the Bishop forthwith let the cause fall to the ground knowing very well that he should be a loser by carrying on the cause if that great Count should stand by Vnderhill In 1577. he was elected Rector of Lincoln coll and proceeded in Divinity in 1581. About which time he was made Chaplain to the Queen one of the Vicars of Bampton and Rector of Witney in Oxfordshire In 1589. he was nominated Bishop of Oxon upon Walsinghams motion as I have before told you whereupon being elected by the Dean and Chapter of Ch.

Bridges his successor an 1603. the patrimony of the Bishoprick of Oxon was much dilapidated and made a prey for the most part to Robert Earl of Essex to whom it proved as miserably fatal as the gold of Tholouse did of old to the soldiers of Caepio The said Joh.

Ch. of Kilkenny He was born in Oxfordshire as 't is said particularly as I suppose within the City of Oxon was educated in this University but in what house unless in that of Brasnose where one or more of his name and kindred studied about his time I know not nor what degrees he took because many have studied in the said University five seven ten years or more and yet never took any degree JOHN ATHERTON Son of John Atherton who became Rector of Bawdripp in Somersetshire in 1584. was born in that County at Bawdripp as it seems and at 16 years of age 1614. became either a Batler or Commoner of Gloucester hall where continuing till after he had taken one degree in Arts was transplanted to Lincoln college took the degree of Master as a Member of it holy Orders and soon after was made Rector of Huish Combflower in his own Country At length being made known to Thomas Earl of Strafford L. Lievtenant of Ireland for his great sufficiencies in the Canon Law and Ecclesiastical affairs was by him made Prebendary of Ch. Ch. in Dublin and afterwards Bishop of Waterford and Lismore in the year 1636. he being then Doctor of divinity in which office he behaved himself for some time with great prudence tho forward enough if not too much against the R. Catholicks in that Country At length being charged with a crime not now to be named was seized on and imprisoned And being found guilty of it was first degraded and afterwards suffered death by hanging at Dublin being the first of his Function that suffered that kind of death as he said it openly to the People at the Gallows on the fifth day of Decemb. in sixteen hundred and forty year 1640 Afterwards his body was buried according to his desire in the remotest or obscurest part of the Yard where rubbish used to be laid belonging to S. Johns Church in Dublin Nich. Bernard D.

Bancroft Archb. of Cant. a younger Son of John Bancroft before-mentioned elected Master of Vniversity college where he continued above 20 years In which time he was at great pains and expence to recover and settle the antient Lands belonging to that foundation In 1632. he was upon the translation of Dr. Corbet to Norwych nominated Bishop of Oxford whereupon being elected by the Dean and Chapter in April the same year had the temporalities of that See given to him on the 6. of June following being about that time consecrated In 1640. when the Long Parliament began and proceeded with great vigour against the Bishops he was possessed so much with fear having always been an Enemy to the Puritan that without little or no sickness he surrendred up his last breath in his lodging at Westminster Afterwards his body was carried to Cudesden in the diocess of Oxon and was buried near to and under the south wall of the Chancel of the Church there on the twelfth day of Febr. in sixteen hundred and forty leaving then behind him the character among the Puritans or Presbyterians then dominant of a corrupt unpreaching Popish Prelate The Reader is now to know that before this Mans time the Bishops of Oxford had no house left belonging to their Episcopal See either in City or Country but dwelt at their Parsonage-houses which they held in Commendam tho Dr. Jo. Bridges who had no Commendam in his diocess lived for the most part in hired houses in the City For as I have before told you in Dr. Rob. Kynge tho at the foundation of the Bishoprick of Oxford in the Abbey of Osney the King appointed Gloucester coll for the Bishops Pallace yet when that foundation was inspected into by K. Edw. 6. and a recital thereupon made of the foundation thereof done by his Father that place was left out of the Charter as being designed then for another use So that from that time till this Man Dr. Bancroft came to be Bishop there being no settled House or Pallace for him or his Successors he did resolve by the perswasions of Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant. to build one Wherefore in the first place the impropriate Parsonage of Cudesden before-mentioned five miles distant from Oxon which belonged to the Bishop in right of his See he let the lease thereof run out without any more renewing that in the end it might be made an improvement to the slender Bishoprick The Vicaridge also of his own donation falling void in the mean time he procured himself to be legally instituted and inducted thereunto All which being done he thro the power and favour of Dr. Laud before-mentioned obtained an annexation of it to the See Episcopal the design of bringing in the impropriation going forward still and soon after began with the help of a great deal of timber from the Forest of Shotover given to him by his Majesty to build a fair Pallace which with a Chappel in it being compleatly finished an 1635. was then out of curiosity visited by the said Dr. Laud which he remits into his diary thus Sept. 2. an 1635. I was in attendance with the King at Woodstock and went thence to Cudsden to see the house which Dr. Jo. Bancroft then Lord Bishop of Oxford had there built to be a house for the Bishops of that See for ever he having built that house at my perswasion But this house or Pallace which cost three thousand and five hundrend pounds proved almost as short liv'd as the Founder being burn'd down by Col. Will. Legg during the short time that he was Governour of the Garrison of Oxford in the latter end of 1644. for fear it might be made a Garrison by the Parliament Forces tho with as much reason and more piety as one observes he might have garrison'd it for the King and preserved the house Being thus ruined it laid so till Dr. Joh. Fell became Bishop of Oxon and then with monies out of his own purse and the help of timber which one of his Predecessors named Dr. Will. Paul had laid in in his life-time for that purpose did rebuild it upon the old foundation with a Chappel in it as before The outside of which being finished in 1679. the inside followed soon after METROPHANES CRITOPYLUS a Greecian born came into England to be instructed in the doctrine and discipline of the Church and in order thereunto to learn the Latin and the English tongues To these ends he addressed himself to Dr. Abbot Archb. of Canterbury who sent him forthwith to Baliol college where he had for his interpreter the noted Grecian Mr. Edw. Sylvester and continued there till the time of his departure from England which was about 1622. at which time he was Chancellour to the Patriarch of Constantinople After his return to his own Country he became Patriarch of Alexandria in the place of Cyrill Lucaris translated to Constantinople and wrote as some suppose The Confession of Faith which went under the name of Cyrill Patriarch of Constantinople published in the Greek tongue 1629. Which Confession was with a censure upon it printed at Rome 1632. the title of which rendred into English is this The condemnation of the confession of the Calvinists as it was set forth in the name of Cyrill Patriarch of Constantinople With this condemnation and confession is printed an answer to the Anathematisms of Cyrill Patriarch of Alexandria Predecessor to Critopylus wherein the said Anathematisms are acknowledged to be genuine tho they decry the said Confession as spurious This Critopylus was in great renown in his own Country in sixteen hundred and forty but when he died I cannot yet find FASTI OXONIENSES THESE Oxonian Fasti or Academical Annals contain in exact Order Method and Time from the Year of our Lord 1500 to the end of 1640. 1.

He hath this Character added to his Name in the Album of that Society Medicus Astronomus cum primis doctus In the Act wherein these two proceeded were about 14 Masters but whether any of them were afterwards Bishops Writers or

Dignitaries I cannot yet find The said Philip Dense who was a learned man as certain Writings which he left behind him shew'd died of a pestilent Disease 4 Sept. 1507 and was buried in the choire belonging to the Church of the said Coll. Doct. of Div. John Colet the most learned and religious Dean of S. Pauls Cathedral in London I have largely mention'd him before John Adams of Merton Coll. He was afterwards a Dignitary in the Church This year was a Supplicat made in the ven Congregation of Regents in behalf of Father William Byrd a Benedictine Monk to be admitted Bach. of Div. or licensed to proceed in that Faculty but whether either was granted I cannot tell I take this Father to be the same William Byrd who was elected Prior of the Monastery of Benedictines at Bathe in Aug. 1499 after the death of John Cantlo● the preceeding Prior. For what Benedictine of both those Names it should be but he I cannot tell It is reported by one who pretended to know him well that this Will. Byrd was given much to Chemistry and chemical Operations that he found out the Stone or discovered the Elixir and at the Suppression of Abbeys he hid it in a Wall And ten days after he went to fetch it out And there he found the stople of a Clout This put the Father into so great an Agony that he became almost frantick as the same Author tells us who adds that he ever after wandred about had no setled place that he became blind had a Boy to lead him about lost his Ecclesiastical Preferments and died poor with other the like fabulous Tales which are commented upon forsooth by a certain Rosacrucian as if they were as true as Gospel I find this Person Will. Byrd to have expended much money in finishing his Church at Bathe which is now the great Church there dedicated to S Peter and S. Paul but before he could finish it he gave way to Fate which hapning on the 22. of May 1525. John Holway of the same Order was elected Prior on the first of July the same year and was Prior thereof at the dissolution or suppression of Abbeys and not W. Byrd as several Authors report Towards the upper end of the Choir of the said Church dedicated to S. Peter and Paul was by the Appointment of this Person erected between two of the South Pillars a neat tabernacular Edifice which I presume he intended to be the Seat of the Prior at Divine Service His Arms on the Roof of it are curiously carved out in Stone which are a Chevron between three Spread Eagles on a chief a Rose between two L●zenges and on the outside of the said Seat is a Memorial of his name viz. a W and a Bird carved in Stone in which Seat or else near to it he was as I conceive buried As for John Cantlow beforementioned who was his Predecessor and graduated in this University he built in a certain Village near Bathe called Holloway in the Parish of Widcomb a pretty little Chappel dedicated to S Mary Magd. as also as 't is said there the little Hospital adjoyning for Lunaticks An.

Elizabeth came to the Crown to make several reflections on the Popes Supremacy and falling accidentally on the words of St. Paul to the Ephesians And he gave some Apostles and some Evangelists and some Pastors and Teachers he told the auditory to obtain favour from them you see here is not a word of the Pope After Sermon instead of going to dinner to refresh himself he was took suddenly with a sickness and thereupon took his bed and dyed about 8 days after This seemed very remarkable among the R.

Ed. 6. he returned to his former opinions and was more zealous for the Cath. cause than before But when Qu. Elizab. succeeded he absconded for a time and went from place to place At length being taken and conveyed to London retracted again in hopes of being setled in his Deanery of Ch. Ch. which might have been had he behaved himself moderately in the Reign of Qu. Mary Afterwards as 't is said he went into Yorkshire where he died obscurely In his Deanery succeeded G.

Ch. who had studied sacred letters for 18 years did this year supplicate that he might put on or be honour'd with the cap of Doct. of Divinity This desire of his was granted conditionally that he be inaugurated and dispute in Divinity in the next Act that should follow But whether he was so or did dispute it appears not in the publick register or in the Catalogues of Inceptors Incorporations Nov. 12.

Walsingham to be Secretary of State c. He died in his house near St. Pauls Cathedral 17.

Besides also as they observed that after many years wherein he had sundry ways hurt the sincerity of the Doctrine he brought the Popish Schoolmen into credit and diminished the honour of the learned Writers of that age Since which time the course of studies in Divinity and the manner of preaching hath been much changed in that University by some who have followed that vain and left the study of sound Writers as they stile them and apply themselves to the reading as they father add of popish barbarous and fantastical Schoolmen delighted with their curious questions and quiddities whereby they draw all points of Christian faith into doubts being the high-way not only to Popery but to Atheisme c.

This Blithman perceiving that he had a natural genie to the faculty spared neither time nor labour to advance it to the utmost So that in short time he being more than Master of it which he shew'd by his most admirable compositions played and sung in many Churches beyond the Seas as well as at home he took occasion to go incognito into France and Germany At length hearing of a famous Musician belonging to a certain Cathedral at St. Omer as I have heard he applied himself as a Novice to him to learn something of his faculty and to see and admire his works This Musician after some discourse had passed between them conducted Bull to a Vestry or Musick School joyning to the Cathedral and shew'd to him a Lesson or Song of forty parts and then made a vaunting challenge to any Person in the world to add one more part to them supposing it to be so compleat and full that it was impossible for any mortal Man to correct or add to it Bull thereupon desiring the use of Ink and rul'd paper such as we call Musical Paper prayed the Musician to lock him up in the said School for 2

or 3 hours Which being done not without great disdain by the Musician Bull in that time or less added forty more parts to the said Lesson or Song The Musician thereupon being called in he view'd it tried it and retri'd it At length he burst out into a great extasie and swore by the great God that he that added those 40 parts must either be the Devil or Dr. Bull c. Whereupon Bull making himself known the Musician fell down and ador'd him Afterwards continuing there and in those parts for a time became so much admir'd that he was courted to accept of any place or preferment suitable to his profession either within the Dominions of the Emperour King of France or Spain But the tidings of these transactions coming to the English Court Qu.

Catholick only to raise a scandal on his enemy Bishop Laud who had commended him to the King for a Bishoprick in Wales A rigid and inveterate Presbyterian tells us that the said Dr. Land did endeavour to promote him to a Welsh Bishoprick but was opposed by Philip Earl of Pembroke so Dr. Morg.

Thus Prynne yet the Church Historian tells us that Dr. Williams beforemention'd did much endeavour to make him Archb. of Armagh but denied by the Duke of Bucks without any mention made of Dr. Laud his endeavours But so it was that Dr. Williams being a great favourer of the Puritan or Presbyterian Prynne therefore made no mention of him but laid all upon the score of Laud July 5.

He was afterwards made Master of the College School at Westminster in the place of Dr. John Wilson and Prebendary of the tenth stall in the Church there in the place of Dr. Christoph Sutton deceased By his industry he did improve his Scholars to as great eminency of learning as any of his predecessors did Insomuch that he had as 't is reported above 80 Doctors in the three great faculties in the two Universities that did gratefully acknowledge their education under him before the grand Rebellion broke out But so it was that he having been much favoured and patroniz'd by Dr. Williams Dean of Westm and B. of Linc. did always stick close to in his controversies had between him and Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury for which he suffered in some measure especially after he had been found guilty of certain libellous passages in a letter written by him to the said Williams wherein he stiles Laud the little Vermin the Vrchin and Hocus pocus For which being called into question in the Star-chamber and found guilty he lost his Spiritualities was fined 5000 l. and sentenced to have his ears tack'd to the Pillory in the presence of his Scholars Which last sentence he avoided by a seasonable withdrawing himself from Westminster an 1638. Afterwards he was restored by the Long Parliament and suffered for a time to keep his Prebendship when all the rest of the Prebendaries were turn'd out But then seeing what mad courses the members of the said Parliament took favoured His Majesties cause and in some measure suffered for it lived retiredly during the interval and dying in the beginning of Octob. 1659 was buried on the 7 of the said month in the large South isle of St. Peters Church in Westm He was a learned Man but whether he hath published any book or books I know not nor any thing else of him only that he was the Son of Lambert Osbaldeston of the Parish of St. Olaves in Southwark near London who died an 1622. June 5. Rob. Grebby of New Coll. This Person who was a Lincolnshire Man born was one of the Chaplains of the said Coll. and afterwards as it became a true Scholar spent all his time in reading and writing especially in Divinity and Philosophy in which last he was a great Sceptick He wrot much in both and had his labours perused by his learned acquaintance yet none of them tho thought fit were ever published I find it reported by a certain Author that one Master Silo whom Mr. Odo de Ceriton or Seryton who lived in 1181 stileth Serlo a Master of the University of Paris and Professor of Logick had a Scholar there with whom he was very familiar Which Scholar being excellent in the art of Sophistry spared not all occasions whether on festival or other days to study and improve it This Sophister being very sick and almost brought to deaths door Mr. Silo earnestly desired him that after his death he would return to and give him information concerning his state and how it fared with him The Sophister dying he returned soon after with his hood stuff'd with notes of Sophistry and the inside loyned with flaming fire and told him that that was the reward which he had bestowed upon him for the renown that he had before obtained for his Sophistry But Mr. Salo esteeming it a small punishment he stretched out his hand towards him on which a drop or spark of fire falling 't was pierced through with terrible pain This passage the Defunct or Ghost beholding told him with a faint voice that he need not be amazed at that small matter for he was burning in that manner all over Is it so saith Silo then in very truth I know what I have to do Whereupon resolving to leave the World and enter himself into Religion called his Scholars about him and took his leave of and dismiss'd them with these metres Linquo coax ranis cras va●●que vanis Ad Logicam pergo que mortis non timet ergo Sed quorsum haec you 'll say or to what end do you tell this old story Then give me leave to make answer thus This Mr. Grebby having been always dubious of the immortality of the Soul of Man did some years before his death make a contract with two of his acquaintance of the same mind that he that died first of the three should make known to either of the other two his then state or being Grebby therefore dying first his resemblance shortly after appeared in the night time in the Chamber of Joh. Good Bach. of Div. and Fellow of Ball. Coll. commonly called Tutor Good who was one of the other two that had made the contract and opening his curtains said to him with a trembling and faint voice Sors tua mortalis non est mortale quod opto Afterwards the resemblance vanished and was tho much wish'd for again seen no more At the same time the other Person who was sometimes Chaplain of New Coll. but then living at his Benefice near Oxon had a dream that the said resemblance did appear to Good and that the doubt seem'd to be resolved which I have heard him several times very confidently report yet he being a reputed Banterer I could never believe him in that or any thing else 'T is true that Good who was a Scholastical retired and melancholy Man would sometimes tell these passages but with great shinels unless to his Philosophical acquaintance most of whom seemed to be well satisfied with and some to believe them This Mr. Grebby commonly called Father Grebby who had read and written so much till he was almost blind yet always cheerful and in a contented condition died in 1654 in the spring time I think aged 60 or more and was buried in the North Cloister of New Coll. near to the

door leading into the tower and the monumental inscription of Pet.

As for those things written against Jewell which go under the name of Rastall are not to be understood as written by this Will. Rastall as a certain Author would have it but by John Rastal a Theologist as I shall tell you under the Year 1600. This our Author Will. Rastall who was accounted a most eminent Lawyer of his time and a grand zealot for the R. Catholick Religion died at Lovaine before-mention'd 27. Aug. in Fifteen hundred sixty and five year 1565 whereupon his body was buried within the Church of St. Peter there on the right hand of the Altar of the Virgin Mary near to the body of Wenefred his Wife who was buried there in July 1553.

PULLAYNE a Yorkshire Man born was educated in New Coll. of which he was either Clerk or Chaplain or both successively and in the Year 1547. being then 3 years standing Master of Arts and thirty years of Age was admitted one of the Senior Students of Ch. Ch. and much in esteem for his Lat. and English Poetry About that time he became a frequent Preacher and a zealous Reformer but when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he absconded and preached privately to the brethren in the Parish of St. Michael on Cornhill in London where I find him in 1556. Afterwards he was forced beyond the Seas to Geneva but returned when Qu. Elizab. was in the regal Throne and had the Archdeaconry of Colchester bestowed on him lately enjoyed by Dr. Hugh Weston besides other spiritualities He hath written Tract against the Arrians And translated into English verse 1 The Ecclesiastes of Salomon 2 Hist of Susanna 3 Hist of Judith 4 Hist of Hester 5 Testament of the 12. Patriarchs He went the way of all flesh year 1565 in Fifteen hundred sixty and five which is all I know of him only that after his death fell out a controversie among his Relations for his estate under pretence that his Children were illegitimate because he had taken to him a Wife in K. Edwards Reign The Reader is to understand that there was one John Pollayne an Oxfordshire Man born elected and admitted Prob. Fellow of Merton Coll. in 1507. but what he hath written I know not he being altogether different from the former notwithstanding Baleus is pleased to tell us that the said former Pullayne the Writer was of Merton Coll. which is false THOMAS CHALONER Son of Reg. Chaloner by Margaret his Wife Daughter of Rich. Middleton Son of Tho. Chaloner second Son of Rice Chaloner of Denbigh in Wales was born in London educated in both the Universities especially in that of Cambridge where for a time he devoted himself to the Muses as he did afterwards to Mars After he had left the University he travell'd beyond the Seas in the company of Sir Hen. Knevet Embassador from K. Hen. 8. to the Emperor Charles 5. Which Emperor T. Chaloner did afterwards serve in the expedition of Algier where being Shipwrack'd did after he had sworn till his strength and his armes failed him catch hold of a Cable with his teeth and so escaped but not without the loss of some of them In the beginning of K. Ed. 6. he received the honor of Knighthood in the camp besides Rokesborough immediatly after the battel of Musselborough wherein he had shewed great valour from Edward Duke of Somerset Lord Protector of England 27. Sept. 1547. and soon after was by him made one of the Clerks of the Privy Council In the time of Qu. Mary he mostly lived in a retir'd and studious condition but in the very beginning of Qu. Elizabeth an 1558. he went on an honorable Embassie to the Emperour Ferdinand such esteem then had the Queen for his port carriage and admirable parts and about an year after was sent ordinary Embassador to Philip K. of Spayne where he continued 4 years in which time at leisure hours he wrot his Book of a Commonwealth which I shall anon mention in elegant and learned verse whilst as he saith in his Preface to it be lived in Winter in a stove and in Summer in a barne Soon after his return from Spayne he ended his days as I shall tell you by and by having before written several things as A little Dictionary for Children De Rep. Anglorum instauranda lib. 10. Lond. 1579. qu. Which Book was by him began 25. Dec. 1562. and ended 21. Jul. 1564. De illustrium quorundam encorniis cum epigram epitaphiis nonnullis Printed with De Rep. Angl. Voyage to Algier with the Emperour an 1541. See in the first vol. of R. Hakluyts voyages He also translated from Lat. into English 1 The office of Servants Lond. 1543. oct written by Gilb. Cognatus which translation is dedicated to Sir H. Knevet before-mention'd 2 The praise of folly Lond. 1549. qu. written by Erasmus What other things he hath written and translated I know not nor any thing else of him only that he died in his house in St. Johns near London on the nones of Octob. year 1565 in Fifteen hundred sixty and Five and was buried with a sumptuous Funeral according to his worth in the Cath. Ch. of St. Paul within the said City of London His Son Thomas I shall mention among these Writers under the Year 1615. and his Grandson Edward under 1625. JOHN HEYWOOD or Heewood a most noted Poet and jester of his time was born in the City of London and notwithstanding he is said to be Civis Londinensis yet he laid a foundation of learning in this University particularly as it seems in that ancient Hostle called Broadgates in St. Aldates Parish But the crabbedness of Logick not suiting with his airie genie he retired to his native place and became noted to all witty Men especially to Sir Tho. More with whom he was very familiar wrot several matters of Poetry and was the first as some say but I think false that wrot English plays taking opportunity thence to make notable work with the Clergy He had admirable skill also in instrumental and vocal Musick but whether he made any compositions in either I find not He was in much esteem with K. H. 8. for the mirth and quickness of his conceits and tho he had little learning in him yet he was by that King well rewarded After Qu. Mary came to the Crown he was much valued by her often had the honor to wait on and exercise his fancy before her which he did even to the time that she lay langushing on her death-bed After her decease he left the Nation for Religion sake and setled at Mechlin in Brabant which is a wonder to some who will allow no Religion in Poets that this Person should above all of his Profession be a voluntary exile for it He hath written The Play called the four PP being a new and merry enterlude of a Palmer Pardoner Poticary and Pedler Printed at London in an old Engl. character in qu. and hath in the title page the pictures of three Men there should be 4 in old fashioned habits wrought off from a wooden cut Interludes printed at London The Play Of love The Play Of weather The Play Between John the Husband and Tib the Wife Interludes Printed at Lond. Play between the Pardoner and the Fryer the Curat and neighbor Pratt Play of gentleness and nobility in two parts The Pinner of Wakefeld a Comedie Philotas Scotch a Com. I have seen also an interlude of youth Printed at Lond. in an old English Char. temp Hen. 8. but whether Jo. Heywood was the Author of it I know not He also wrot A Dialogue containing the number in effect of all the proverbs in the English tongue compact
