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.

Apr. 29. he was admitted Chauntor of the Church of York in the place of Joh. Perot who died in Febr. going before but Lynacre resigning that place in Nov. following was succeeded therein by Rich. Wyatt D. D. who was admitted thereunto 13. of the same Month. At the same time our Author Lynacre had other Dignities in the Church but at what place I cannot justly say He was great with and highly admired by Sir Tho. More whom formerly he had taught Greek Erasmus Grocyn Latimer Tonstall and who not He was one of the first English Men that brought polite learning into our Nation and it hath been justly question'd by some of the Goliahs of learning whether he was a better Latinist or Grecian or a better Grammarian or Physician Sure it is that he being a general Scholar of his time and esteemed the Honor of the Nation was much reverenc'd by the Oxonians especially upon reading his Medicinal Lectures among them gratus and generally by all Persons of Honor and others for his happy practice among them He hath written The Rudiments of Grammar Lond. in aedib Pynsonianis Turn'd into Latin by George Buchanan a Scot Par. 1533. and 50. in oct Which Book hath ever since been the Cynosura for many of our best Grammarians Compendious Regiment or a Dietarie of health used at Mountpillour Lond. by Rob.

Octob. year 1524 in Fiveteen hundred twenty and four and was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul within the City of London before the Rood of the North Door between the long Form and the Wall directly against the said Rood Over his Grave was afterwards a comely Monument erected at the charge of that eminent Physcian and Antiquary Dr. John Cay of Cambridge out of the Epitaph of which I am instructed in these matters concerning Lynacre viz. That he was a most skilful Critick in the Greek and Latin and an excellent Physician besides being Physician to King Hen. 8. who in his Generation did many miraculous Cures and restored several to life when help was past and even at the very point of death He translated Galen's works out of Greek into Latin with singular perspicuity and clearness He also compil'd a most excellent piece for the rectifying of the frame and module of the Latin Tongue He gave two Lectures to the University of Oxon and one to Cambridge
Musick easily his Genie therefore was born to greater Studies In short time after he sent him to Padöua in Italy which was then most flourishing in literature to obtain or rather advance himself in good letters and allowed him an yearly Pension to defray his Charges While he was conversant with the Muses there he was much instructed in his Studies by Cuthb Tonstall and Will. Latymer whom he calls his Praeceptores and whether he took a Degree there I find not After his return into England he retired to Oxon where as I conceive he had studied for some time before he travelled and settled for a time as 't is supposed in Queens Coll. of which his Patron T. Langton had been Provost and soon after was received into the service of Dr. afterward Cardinal Christopher Bambridge who succeeded his said Patron in that Provostship as I have elsewhere told you From the service of the said Cardinal he was received into the Royal Court where his parts being soon discovered and his accomplishments made known to the King was by him made Secretary of State and employed in matters of high concern In the beginning of 1514 he was admitted Prebendary of Bugthorpe in the Church of York in the place of Thom. Wolsey consecrated Bishop of Linc. and on the 20. of May the same Year he was made Archdeacon of Dorset upon the resignation of Dr. Rob. Langton sometimes of Queens Coll. in this University Afterwards he was sent in one or more Embassies by the King which he performed with very great honor to himself and the English Nation In 1519 he became Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral within the City of London on the Death of Dr. Joh. Colet and about that time Dean of Exeter but whether he was ever Dean of Salisbury it appeareth not 'T is true that Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury doth say in the Life and Reign of King Hen. 8. under the Year 1536. that Pet. Vannes then Archdeacon of Worcester was not long before that time made co-adjutor to Rich. Pace Dean of Salisbury being then thought commonly distracted and out of his Wits But how that can be I cannot find for 1 it doth evidently appear from the Registers of that Church that one Raymund Pade had that Deanery conferr'd upon him 19. Jan. 1522. 2 That in the said Registers no mention at all is made of R. Pace as Dean and thirdly that Pet. Vannes beforementioned became Dean of the said Church by virtue of the King's Letters on 3. Feb. 1539. in the place as 't is supposed of the said Pade at which time R. Pace had been dead 7 Years In 1521 he being made Prebendary of Combe and Harnham in the said Church of Sarum he shewed himself serviceable to the University of Oxon the Members of which would then have had him to adorn their Lycaeum with a degree if certain customs belonging thereunto did not hinder him Afterwards our Author Paice who was then esteemed by all ripe in wit learning and eloquence and very expert in Foreign Languages was sent in the Kings Affairs Ambassador to Venice which function there he so discharged that it is hard to say whether he procured more commendation or admiration among the Venetians both for dexterity of his wit and especially for the singular promptness in the Italian tongue wherein he seemed nothing inferior neither to Pet. Vannes here in England the Kings Secretary for the Italian tongue nor yet to any other which were the best for that tongue in all Venice For opinion and fame of learning he was so generally accepted not only here in England with Lynacre Grocin Sir Tho. More and others but also known and reported abroad in such manner that in the great Volume of Erasmus his Epistles he wrot almost to none so many as he wrot to this our Author Paice It must be now noted that while he continued at Venice he grew much out of favour with Cardinal Wolsey first for shewing his readiness to assist Charles Duke of Burbon with Money while the said Cardinal who had little or no affection for that Duke did under hand keep back a vast summ of Money which K. Hen. 8. had sent to the said Duke to carry on his War near Pavia against Francis 1. K. of France and secondly for his negligence in advancing the said Cardinals designs to succeed in the Papacy P. Adrian the 6. who died 1523. I say for these two reasons especially he was so much inflamed against Paice that he forthwith took such causes that for the space almost of two Years he had neither writing from the King or Council how he should proceed in his Affairs at Venice nor any allowance for his diet notwithstanding he had sent Letters for the same to England very often Upon this and especially upon some private intimation from his Friends at home he took such an inward thought and conceit that his wits began to fail him It is reported that the Venetian Ambassador residing in London repaired to the Cardinal and desired to know of him whether he would command any thing to the English Ambassador at Venice Whereupon he made answer Paceus decepit Regem Which words coming to Paice's knowledge so deeply pierc'd his stomach that he in a manner fell quite besides himself Soon after his frensie and the reason thereof being made known to the King he was forthwith sent for home and by the Kings command he was so carefully attended by his Physicians that in short time he came to his wits again and began to study the Hebrew Language with Rob. Wakfeld About that time the Cardinal being absent Paice's Friends found such means that he was brought to the King then residing at Richmond where they had private discourse for two hours or more not without great rejoycing to His Majesty to see him so well amended in his senses Afterwards the Cardinal hearing what had passed and suspecting that he had disclosed somewhat to the King which he would not have known as also doubting the King would take Paice into favour again began in short time after to quarrel and to pick up matters to lay to Paice's charge whereas he should have rather cleared himself of those things which Paice laid unto him before the King and then to have proceeded accordingly But so it was that when the King had willed the Cardinal to purge himself of those things which Paice had rightly charged him withal he sitting in judgment with the Duke of Norfolk and other States of the Realm not as a Defendant but as a Judge in his own cause did so bear out himself and weighed down Paice that he was forthwith commanded to the Tower of London as Prisoner where he continuing for the space of two Years or thereabouts was at length by the Kings command discharged While he was in his disconsolate condition he was so deeply sensible of his case that he was more distracted in his wits than

This Person tho educated in all kind of Learning beyond the Seas yet he must have a place in these Athenae because he had studied in this University particularly in St. Maries Coll. a place for Canon Regulars of the Order of St. Austin whose great Gate is almost opposite to that of New Inn in the Years 1497. 98 and part if not all of 1499. and as some think in the Year 1518 or 19. when Card. Wolsey founded his Lectures in this University at which time Erasmus read certain Lectures in the publick refectory of Corp. Ch. Coll. The reason of his continuance and studying here I have told you elsewhere and therefore all that I shall now say of him is that his works are printed in 9 Volumes in which are his dissertation De taedio pavore Christi and certain Epistles which he wrot in the said Coll. of St. Mary and that dying at Basil in Germany year 1536 on the 12 of July in Fifteen hundred thirty and six was buried in the Cathedral Church there Soon after was a conspicuous Monument with an Inscription put over his Grave the contents of which I shall now for brevity sake omit His life is twice or more written in Latin tho not so well as it should be and once or more in English which is the reason that I have spoken but briefly of him in this place JOHN RASTALL was a Londoner born and educated for a time in Grammaticals and Philosophicals in this University Afterwards returning to his native place he set up the Trade of Printing being then esteemed a profession fit for any Scholar or ingenious Man This Person being noted for his Piety and Learning became intimate with Sir Tho. More whose Sister Elizabeth he took to Wife and by dayly conference with that most learned Knight he improved his knowledge in various sorts of Learning besides what knowledge he before had gotten in the Mathematicks He was a zealous Man for the Catholick cause and a great hater of the proceedings of King Hen. 8. as to his divorce and for his ejecting the Popes power from the Nation His Writings are Natura naturata 'T is a large and ingenious Comedy containing a description of three parts of the World viz.

Elizab. came to the Crown he was imprisoned but soon after broke out and going beyond the Sea continued an enemy to the Protestants there became a sworn servant to the Duke of Alva at Antwerp and from him received a special commission to search the Ships for goods forfeited and and for English Books in which service he did very great harm to the English Protestants At length being invited under hand to search the Ship of one Parker an English Man went unwarily therein Whereupon Parker causing the hatches to be shut when Storie was searching under deck he hoised sail and brought him Prisoner into England about the beginning of Decemb. 1570. So that being clap'd up close Prisoner within the Tower of London did undergo there several examinations At length being brought to a trial and stedfastly denying to take the Oath of Supremacy as he had done several times before within the Tower he was drawn thence on a hurdle to Tybourne on the first day of June in Fifteen hundred seventy and one year 1571 having been prayed for and animated in his faith by Joh. Feckenham Prisoner in the said Tower where after he had spoken a large speech which was unexspected and therefore not interrupted he was for a little time hanged but before he was half dead he was cut down and when the Executioner cut off his privy members he rose up with alacrity and gave him a blow on the ear But his bowels being soon after draw'd out of his belly and his body quarter'd his head was set upon London bridge and his quarters were hanged on 4 gates of the City Several of his treasons and conspiracies against the English Nation you may see in a pamphlet printed in oct an 1571 bearing this title A copie of a letter sent by a Gentleman student in the lawes of the realm to a friend of his concerning Dr. Storie And what relates to him as praise worthy you may see in Concertatio Ecclesiae Catholicae in Anglica taken from Nichol. Sanders his seventh Book De visibili Monarchia His Martyrdom is imprinted or represented in the English Coll. at Rome and he is called with the two Notons Joh. Felton and others Saints The Franciscans have a great respect for his memory also because he had been a lay-brother of that Order and had done several signal services for them JOHN JEWELL one of the greatest lights that the reformed Church of England hath produced was born at Buden in the Parish of Berinerber in Devon 24. May 1522. His Father was Joh ' Jewell and his Mother of the Family of the Bellamies who sparing neither labour or charge for his education was at length by the care of Joh. Bellamie his uncle educated in Grammar learning first at Branton then at Southmoulton and at length at Barnstaple in his own Country under one Walt. Bowen In which last School being made ripe for the University he was sent to Oxon. in July 1535 and being entred into Merton Coll. under the tuition of John Parkhurst afterwards B. of Norwych was by him made his Portionist now called Postmaster and by his care and severe tuition laid the foundation for greater learning that followed In the Year 1539. after he upon examination had shew'd himself a youth of great hopes he was admitted Scholar of C. C. Coll. 19. Aug. and the Year after was made Bach. of Arts. So that being put into a capacity by that Degree of taking Pupills many resorted to him whom he mostly instructed in private in Protestant principles and in publick in Humanity he being about that time Rhetorick reader in his Coll. In 1544 he was licensed to proceed in Arts which he compleated in an Act celebrated 9. Feb. the same year When K. Hen. 8. was dead he shew'd himself more openly to be a Protestant and upon P. Martyr's arrival at Oxon to be an admirer and hearer of him whose Notary he was when he disputed with Tresham Cheadsey and Morgan In 1550 he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences and during the Reign of K. Ed. 6. became a zealous promoter of reformation and a Preacher and Catechiser at Sunningwel near Abendon in Berks. Soon after Qu. Mary came to the Crown he was forced to leave the Nation and retire first to Frankfort with Henry the eldest Son of Sir Franc. Knollys Rob. Horne and Edwyn Sandys and afterwards to Strasburgh with Joh. Poynet Edmund Grindal Joh. Cheek c. After Qu. Maries death he returned in 1558 and in the Year following he was rewarded with the Bishoprick of Salisbury for his great learning and sufferings being about that time appointed one of the Protestant Divines to encounter those of the Romish perswasion when Qu. Elizab. was about to settle a reformation in the Church of England In 1560 he preached at Pauls cross on the second Sunday before Easter on 1. Cor. 11. 23. For I have received of the Lord that which also I have delivered unto you c. In which Sermon he shew'd himself the first who made a publick challenge to all the Rom. Catholicks in the world to produce but one clear and evident testimony out of any Father or famous writer who flourished within 500 years after Christ for any one of the many articles which the Romanists
character given of him by one the knew him in Ireland I shall here insert for a conclusion of those things I have said of him which is this He was stately without disdain familiar without contempt very continent and chast of body no more than enough liberal learned and a great lover of learning perfect in blazoning of Arms skilful of Antiquities of wit fresh and lively in consultations very temperate in utterance happy which his experience and wisdom hath made artificial a preferrer of many a Father to his Servants and both in war and peace of commendable courage WILLIAM GOOD was born in the ancient Town of Glastenbury in Somersetshire educated in Grammar learning there admitted Scholar of C. C. Coll. 26. Feb. 1545 afterwards Fellow Master of Arts 1552 and about that time Humanity reader in the said College After Queen Mary came to the Crown being then a most zealous R. Catholick he was promoted to an Ecclesiastical Benefice in his own Country called Middle Chinnoke and to a little Prebendship in the Church of Wells called Comba octava in Nov. 1556 besides the rectory of a School in the said City All which he keeping till Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown and for some time after he voluntarily left them and his native Country for Religion sake and retiring to Tourney in Flanders entred himself there into the Society of Jesus in 1562 aged 35. After he had served his probationship he went into Ireland with Father David the titular Archbishop of Armagh who left no stone unremoved there for the settling of that Kingdom in the Catholick faith and obedience Four years being spent in that Country not without some danger he went to Lovaine where he met with Rob. Persons about to enter into the said Society whom he strengthned with many arguments in order thereunto In 1577 he was called to Rome to take upon him the profession of the four vows which being done he went into Sweeden and Poland in the company of Anth. Possevin to settle certain affairs relating to the society Two years after he returned to Rome and became Confessor to the English Coll. there newly converted from an Hospital dedicated to the Holy Trinity to a Seminary for the educating the youth of England that profess the R.

In the Library also of the English Coll. at Rome there is extant a Manuscript digested according to the years of Christ and Kings of Britaine containing the Acts of the Saints of Britain Which book is said there among those of England to have been composed and written by our Author Good who dying at Naples 5. July according to the accompt there followed in Fifteen hundred eighty and six year 1586 was buried in the College of the Jesuits there who have yet a great respect for his name One or more of whom have promised me a copy of his Epitaph if there be any but no answer have I yet received PHILIP SIDNEY the short-liv'd Ornament of his noble Family and the Marcellus of the English Nation hath deserv'd and without dispute or envy enjoyed the most exalted praises of his own and of succeeding Ages The Poets of his time especially Spencer reveren'd him not only as a Patron but a Master and he was almost the only Person in any age I will not except Mecaenas that could teach the best rules of Poetry and most freely reward the performances of Poets He was a Man of a sweet nature of excellent behaviour of much and withall of well digested learning so that rarely wit courage breeding and other additional accomplishments of conversation have met in so high a degree in any single Person It is to be wish'd that his life might be written by some judicious hand and that the imperfect essay of Sir Fulk Grevill L Brook might be supply'd In the mean time I am forc'd to consider him only as an Author and to give him these short notes of his life and education He was Son of Sir Hen. Sidney before-mention'd by the Lady Mary his Wife eldest Daughter of Joh. Dudley Duke of Northumberland was born as 't is supposed at Penshurst in Kent 29. Nov. 1554 and had his Christian name given to him by his Father from K Philip then lately married to Qu. Mary While he was very young he was sent to Christ Ch. to be improved in all sorts of learning and was contemporary there with Rich. Carew Author of The Survey of Cornwall where continuing till he was about 17 years of age under the tuition of Dr. Tho. Thornton Canon of that house he was in June 1572 sent to travel for on the 24 Aug. following when the Massacre fell out at Paris he was then there and at that time as I conceive he with other English Men did fly to the house of Francis Walsingham Embassadour there from the Queen of England Thence he went through Loraine and by Strasburgh and Heydelburg to Frankfort in Sept. or Oct. following as his said life written by Sir Fulk Grevill his companion and friend attesteth But what is added there that Hubert Languet accompanied him in the whole course of his 3 years travels is a great mistake as will appear by Languets Epistles to our Author Philip Sidney printed more than once For so it was that in the next spring in May 1573 Larguet removed to Vienna where our Author met him again and stayed with him till September when he went into Hungary and those parts Thence he journied into Italy where he continued all the Winter following and most of the Summer an 1574 and then he returned into Germany with Languet and next spring he returned by Frankfort Heydelberg and Antwerp home into England about May 1575. The like mistakes are in the said life concerning Languets coming into England in Februar 1578 at which time 't is said he was about 66 years of age whereas he was but 61 that also he and Sidney parted at Sea which could not be for Duke John Caâ—â—mire with whom he came went away so suddenly that Languet could not take leave of him In the Year 1576 he was sent by the Queen to Rodolph the Emperour to condole the death of Maximilian and also to other Princes of Germany at which time he caused this inscription to be written under his Arms which he then hung up in all places where he lodged Illustriss generosiss virs Philippi Sidneii Angli Proregis Hiberniae filii Comitum Warwici Leycestriae nepotis sereniss Reginae Angliae ad Caesarem Legati The next year in his return he saw that gallant Prince Don John de Austria Vice Roy

What other matters G. Pettie hath written or translated I cannot tell nor do I know any thing material of him besides only that he died in the prime of his years at Plymouth in Devonshire being then a Captain and a Man of note about the latter end of July in Fifteen hundred eighty and nine year 1589 and was buried as I have been told in the great Church there The Lands which he had by his Fathers gift in Aston-Rowant in Kingston in the Parish thereof and at Tetsworth in Oxfordshire he gave to his Brother Christopher Pettie JOHN GARBRAND alias Herks Son of Garbrand Herks a Dutch Man and Bookseller living sometimes in St. Maries Parish in Oxon was born within the City of Oxon educated in Grammar learning in Wykehams School near Winchester admitted perpetual Fellow of New Coll. an 1562 being esteemed then a good Poet. Afterwards he by the favour of Bishop Jewell who had been well acquainted with his Father while he lived in the University became Prebendary of Yatesbury in the Church of Salisbury on the resignation of Tho. Whyte LL. D. in Nov. 1565 being then only Bach. of Arts and Prebendary of Minor pars Altaris in the said Church In 1567 he left his Coll. and on the 18. of March 1568 he was made Preb. of Chute and Cheesenbury in the said Church of Sarum on the deprivation of Joh. Fuller Garbrand being then Rector of North-Crowley in Bucks In 1582 he took the Degrees in Divinity was then accounted an eminent Theologist and a noted Preacher but withal a severe Puritan He hath gathered together corrected and compleated several things of the said B. Jewell whome he in a marvellous manner had admired as i A view of a seditious bull sent into England from Pius 5. Pope of Rome an 1569. 2 A short treatise of the Holy Scriptures Lond 1582. oct Both which Jewell delivered in divers Sermons in the Cathedral Church of Salisbury an 1570. 3 An exposition on the two Epistles to the Thessalonians Lond. in oct 4 Certain Sermons preached at Pauls Cross Lond. 1583. oct They are in number six 5 Treatise of the Sacraments gathered out of certain Sermons preached at Salisbury Lond. 1583. oct This Dr. Garbrand died in the Winter time about Christmas in Fifteen hundred eighty and nine year 1589 and was buried in the Church of North-Crowley before-mention'd He gave by his will several books to New Coll. Library And all such books and papers that were given to him by B. Jewell as also all such loose sheets which he the said Garbrand had drawn for common places gathered out of that Bishops books he gave to Rob. Chaloner and John Rainolds Doctors of Divinity LAURENCE HUMPHREY or Humfredus as he sometimes writes himself was born at a mercate Town called Newport Paynell in Bucks educated in Latine and Greek learning at Cambridge made Demie of Magd. Coll. in Oxon 1547 perpetual Fellow two years after being then Bach. of Arts and Master of the said faculty in 1552. About that time he was made Greek reader of his Coll. took holy orders and became a zealous and forward student in the Theological faculty In June 1555 2. and 3. of Phil. and Mary the President Vicepresident Deans c. of that Coll. gave leave to the said Humphrey who in the opinion of all was much commended for his life and conversation as also for the excellency of his learning and wit that he might freely for the cause of study travel into trasmarine parts for one year conditionally that he contain himself from those places that are suspected to be heretical or favourers of heresie and that also he refrain from the company who are or were authors of heresie or heretical opinions c. Which leave being procured he went forthwith to Zurich and associated himself with the English exiles there that had fled from the Nation for Religion sake After the death of Qu. Mary he returned to his Coll. and was restored to his Fellowship having been expelled thence because he did not return thereunto after his time of leave was expired In the Year 1560 he was constituted the Queens Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxon being then about 34 years of age at which time was a very great scarcity of Theologists throughout the body of Students and in the year following he was elected President of his Coll. In 1562 he took the Degrees in Divinity and in 1570 he was made Dean of Glocester upon the promotion of Dr. Tho. Cooper to the See of Lincoln In 1580 he was constituted Dean of Winchester in the place of Dr. Joh. Watson promoted to the See of Winchester which was the highest preferment he had among the Clergy and the reason for it as 't was guested was because that in matter of ceremony or indifferency he altogether consented not to the Church of England For the truth is that from the City of Zurich remarkable for the Preachings and death of Zwinglius and the correspondence that he had at Geneva he brought back with him at his return into England so much of the Calvinian both in doctrine and discipline that the best that could be said of him was that he was a moderate and consciencious Nonconformist Whence 't was that by his being many years President of Magd. College publick Professor of Div. in the University and several times Vice-chancellour he did not only upon advantage issuing from those place stock his Coll. with a generation of Nonconformists which could not be rooted out in many years after his decease but sowed also in the Divinity School such seeds of Calvinisme and labored to create in the younger sort such a
in the society of Jesus about 25 years to their great renown and honour The next Person in order to be mention'd is one as famous in his way as the former but of the reformed Religion THOMAS MOUFET or Muffet was born in London in or near St. Leonards Shoreditch as I conceive because his name and relations lived in that Parish and one John Muffet died there in 1596. After he had been educated in Grammar learning in that City he spent some time in this University afterwards travelled into divers Countries in Europe where he became known to the most eminent Men especially Physicians and Chymists of that time and was doctorated in Physick in some noted University in his travels After his return he fell into very great practice within the City of his nativity became much honoured and beloved by Peregrine Bertie Lord Willoughby of Eresbie and esteemed the famous ornament of the body of Physicians and the true pattern of all polite and solid Literature He hath written De jure praestantia Chemicorum Medicamentorum dialogus Apologeticus Francof 1584. Ursell 1602. oct and in the first volume of Theatrum Chemicum Argent 1623. oct pag. 70. Epistolae quinque Medicinales Most of which werâ— written to one whom the Author calls Philalethes a German Chymist They were printed with the former book in that impression of 1602 and I think elsewhere Nosomantica Hippocratea sive Hippocratis prognostica cuncta ex omnibus ipsius scriptis methodicè digesta c. Franc. 1588. oct in 9 books He also by his great labour and charge did enlarge and finish Insectorum sive minimorum Animalum Theatrum olim ab Edw. Wottono Conrado Gesnaro Thomaque Pennio inchoatum Which Book the Author leaving behind him in MS. at his Death it came some years after into the hands of Sir Theod. de Mayern Knight who published it in Fol. at Lond 1634. with an Epistle Dedicatory before and Preface to it But before that time some imperfect Copies of it were published by Laur Scholzius an 1598 c. This Book was published in the English Tongue at Lond. 1658. Fol. by J. R. M. D. Dr. Moufet hath written also Healths improvement or Rules comprising and discovering the nature method and manner of preparing all sorts of Food used in this Nation This was corrected and enlarged by Christoph Bennet Lond. 1655. 4to Whatelse our Author Moufet hath written I know not nor any thing more of him only that in his latter days he lived much at Bulbridge near Wilton in Wilts as a retainer to the Pombrochian Family from which he had an yearly Pension allowed to him to his last day mostly by the favour of that incomparable Lady Mary Countess of Pembroke He concluded his last day towards the latter end of Q. Elizabeth and was as I have been credibly informed by one or more ancient Men that belonged to the said Family buried at Wilton Contemporary with him was Joh. Securis an eminent Physician of Sarum whom I have mentioned before PETER WHITE noted for his excellency in Humane Learning while he continued in the University was born in the Diocess of Waterford in Ireland elected Fellow of Oriel Col. An. 1551. and in the year 1555. was admitted Master of Arts. About the beginning of Queen Elizabeth's Reign he returned to his Native Country and became the Happy Schoolmaster of Mâ—ster and Dean of Waterford for a time From which last place being ejected for his Religion about 1565. he continued notwithstanding in his beloved Faculty of Pedagogy which was then accounted a most excellent Employment in Ireland by the Catholicks especially for this Reason that the Sons of Noblemen and Gentlemen might be trained up in their Religion and so consequently keep out Protestancy His School was during his time in a flourishing condition and by his care and industry many learned Persons issued thence Among such not that I shall mention Rich. Stanyhurst of whom I shall speak hereafter was one Peter Lombard born in Waterford who afterwards studied at Lovaine in Brabant where after he had spent two years and an half in Philosophy he was chosen when he proceeded Master of Arts Primus Vniversitatis by the uniform consent of the Four Principals which preferment did not happen in such sort for many years before About that time the said Lombard wrote Carmen heroicum in Doctoratum Nicholai Quemerfordi with other things afterwards which were much valued at Lovaine but such I have not yet seen See another Pet. Lombard in my discourse of Will. Camden As for P. White he hath written Epitome copiae Erasmi lib. 1. Epit. figurarum Rhetoricarum lib. 1. Annotationes in Orat. pro Archiâ poetâ Annot. in Orat. pro T. A. Milone Epigrammata diversa lib. 1. He lived as I guess to the latter end of Q. Elizabeth but the particular time when he died I find not Equal in time with the said Pet. White was another of both his Names an English-Man born and a severe Calvinist who among several things that he hath written published a Book intitled An Answer to certain crabbed Questions pretending a Real Presence in the Sacrament together with a discovery of the Jesuitical Opinion of Justification guilfully uttered by Sherwin at the time of his Execution Lond. 1582. oct Also A Sermon against Idolatry on Apoc. 1. 12 13. Lond. 1581. oct c. Whether he was an Oxford Man I cannot yet find THOMAS NEALE was born at Yeate in Glocestershire sped a Child into the College near Winchester by the endeavours of his Mother's Brother Alex. Belsire Fellow of New College where profiting exceedingly in Grammer Learning in the School there was chosen Probationer of New College in 1538. and two years after was admitted true and perpetual Fellow of the said House Afterwards prosecuting his Studies with great industry took the degree of Master of Arts in 1546 Holy Orders and soon after became an able Theologist and admirably well skill'd in the Greek and Hebrew Languages the last of which he read to several young Scholars in the University particularly to Bern. Gilpin of Queen's College About that time Sir Tho. Whyte who was afterwards Founder of S. John's College having had notice of his pregnant Parts and Vertues did for an encouragement allow unto him an yearly Pension of 10. l. In the beginning of Q. Mary he became Chaplain to Dr. Bonner Bishop of London and in 1556. being newly returned from Paris and other places in France he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences being then Rector of Thenforth in Northamptonshire But when Q. Elizabeth came to the Crown and he thereupon bereft of his Lord and Patron Bonner he betook himself to Oxon and in 1559. he was made the Queen's Professor of the Hebrew Lecture entred himself a Commoner of Hart Hall and built little Lodgings opposite thereunto joyning to the West end of New Col.

But these things with many other not now to be named having been written out of malice against him I shall by no means follow or embrace them for truths but receed to that collection of his life which I have made partly from his own writings partly from record and partly from impartial Writers Born therefore he was at Stowey commonly called Nether-Stowey near to Bridgewater in Somersetshire an 1546. His Father was a Plebeian of honest repute and an enemy to the Church of Rome but by Alex. Bryant reconciled thereunto His mother was a known grave Matron living divers years in flight and banishment for Religion dyed therein at London very aged about 1599. The Son Robert being a child of very great towardliness and exceeding apt to learn was by his Fathers edeavours trained up in the English tongue and having a good memory could repeat what he had read once or twice very readily About that time it hapned that one John Hayward a vertuous good Priest who before had been a Canon Regular in Devonshire became Vicar of Nether-Stowey who perceiving that Robert had pregnant parts did teach him the Latin tongue and after had a special affection for him for he living to the beginning of the year 1575. endeavoured to get him into Balliol coll did exhibit unto him as 't is said and was not against the resignation which he made of his fellowship In the latter end of 1563. our author R. Parsons being fitted for Academical learning was sent to the said coll but whether he was at his first coming a Servitour or Scholar I know not Sure it is that by the help of good natural parts accompanied with unwearied industry he became in short time a smart Disputant not only in the coll but publick Schools as occasion served In the latter end of May 1568. he was admitted Bach. of Arts and the same year Probationer-Fellow of the said college which being terminated he was made Chaplain-Fellow and so consequently I presume went into Orders being then a noted Tutor in the coll In Michaelmas-Term 1572. he was admitted Master of Arts stood in the Act celebrated 12. Oct. 1573. and on the 13. of Feb. following he resigned his Fellowship of his own accord as the Register of Bal. coll saith tho certain authors tell us that he resigned to prevent Expulsion being then if not before about to change his Religion In June 1574. he left England went to Calis and thence to Antwerp at which place after he had continued for some weeks he diverted himself for a time with a journey to Lovaine where being no sooner arrived but he fell into the company of Father Will. Good his Country man by whom he was kindly received and with him spent some days in spiritual exercise So that whereas then and before he had addicted his mind to the study of Physick and did intend to prosecute it at Padua to which place he had then intentions to go he by Goods advice made some doubt of that matter At length he went there and was for some time not only conversant in that faculty but also in the Civil Law Upon second thoughts he relinquished those studies went to the English coll at Rome was there admitted into the Society of Jesus 4.

But his mind being more addicted to the Catholick than Reformed Religion he left his Fellowship and retired to Gloucester hall for a time where he was held in good repute by Edm. Rainolds and Th. Allen the two learned Seniors Afterwards going beyond the Seas where he spent some time in one of the English Seminaries newly erected to receive exil'd Catholicks of the English Nation was at length in the year 1598. constituted by Henry Cardinal Cajetane Protector of the English Nation at Rome with leave first obtained from P. Clem. 8. the Superiour of the of the English Clergy with the Power and Name of Archpriest of England and by the said Pope made Notary of the Apostolick Seat This matter being taken very ill by the Ecclesiastical Papists of our Nation and the rather for this reason that Blackwell was altogether at the beck of Henr. Garnet Provincial of the Jesuits of England they fell together by the Ears in their own Country in a most grievous manner For the Jesuits against the Secular Priests fought continually with sharp pens poisoned tongues and contumelious books insomuch that they detracted in an high degree from Blackwells authority Hereupon he degraded them of their Faculties so that afterwards they appealing to the Pope of Rome he caused them in a book to be declared Schismaticks and Hereticks This aspersion they soon wiped off having the censure of the University of Paris approving the same which was answered by Blackwell as I shall tell you anon The office of Archpriest he kept till 1607. at which time George Birket a learned Priest succeeded And the reason of the change was because our author having been taken near Clerkenwell by London 24.

RAPHAEL THORIUS commonly called Thoris a French man born was in his younger days conversant among the Oxonians in the condition of a Sojourner and made a considerable progress in the faculty of medicine but took no degree therein only numbred among those of the Physick line Afterwards he setled in London practiced that faculty with good success and was in his time accounted Corypheus Medici gregis and as a Physitian famous so no vulgar Poet. The works that he hath written are many but none were published till after his death the titles of some of which follow Hymnus Tabaci sive de Pacto libri duo Which books being procured from the author in Feb. 1624. by Ludov. à Kinschot were by him published at Lond. 1627. oct This elegant Lat.

In the first of Car. 1. when the plague raged in London he acted more for the publick by exposing his person too much than his most dear concern Wherefore being deeply infected with that disease died of it in his house in the parish of S. Bennet Finck in Jul. or Aug. in sixteen hundred twenty and five year 1625 but where he was buried I know not unless in the Church or Ch. yard of that parish He left behind him a Son named John whom I shall elsewhere mention and a most dear friend who lamented his death in a Lat.

H. 8 a little before which time his Father descended from the Florii of Sienna in Tuscany and Mother who were Waldenses had fled from the Valtoline into England for religion sake But when K. Ed. 6. died and the protestant religion silenc'd by the succession of Qu. Mary they left England and went to another Country where Jo. Florio received his puerile literature After Protestancy was restored by Q. Elizab. they return'd and Florio for a time lived in this University At length Rich. Barnes Bishop of Durham sending his Son Emanuel to Magd. coll to obtain Acad. literature in the quality of a Commoner about 1576. Florio was appointed to attend him as a Tutor in the Italian and French tongues At which time wearing a Gown he was matriculated as a member of that house in 1581. aged about 36 years and as a teacher and instructor of certain Scholars in the University After K. James came to the Crown he was appointed Tutor to Pr. Henry for those languages and at length made one of the Privy Chamber and Clerk of the closet to Qu.

Persons afterwards a Jesuit elected Probationer-Fellow of Balliol coll being then a Bach. of Arts and a celebrated Logician and Philosopher Soon after proceeding in his Faculty he was much noted for his zeal to Protestancy yet proved troublesome in his publick disputes and in his behaviour towards Persons About the year 1579. he was Principal or at least Deputy for a time of Gloucester hall where also being disliked he left that place soon after and his Fellowship in 1582. which was pronounced void the year following About that time he went beyond the Seas changed his Religion and being made a Priest in France and getting helps and directions from Fa. Persons he journied to Rome where for some time he lived in the English college But being troublesome there also and raising great garboyles among the Scholars of that place Cardinal Boncompagno Protector of the English Nation expelled him thence as one that had no good will for him saith Yet our author in his own vindication tells us that he had a Benedicessit and departed very orderly Afterwards he returned to Paris where as 't is said he was made Doctor of Div. and one of the Sorbon at which time and after the Jesuits used to stile him Doctor Erraticus and Doctor per Saltum Afterwards he was sent into England to gain Souls to his Religion but taken and committed Prisoner to Wisbich Castle in Cambridgshire where I find him in 1593. among many other Priests and Gentlemen of the Rom. Cath. Religion that had some years before been secured in that place 'T is said while he continued there that he carried away the glory and fame of all that was heretofore laudably done in that Castle before Fa.

Mr. Rich. Washbourne Chanter of Ch. Ch. in Oxon who had been his contemporary in Exeter coll Which person having known Gee well and what he was as to his life and conversation blamed the writer of this book much for honouring the memory of such a sorry fellow as he was in Hist Antiq.

RICHARD VERSTEGAN or as some call him Rich. Rowland a great reviver of our English antiquities and a most admirable Critick in the Saxon and Gothick languages ought with all due ceremony to crave a place among these writers not only because he is little remembred among authors but also for that he had received part of his education among the Oxonians His Grandfather who was called Theodore Rowland Verstegan was born in the Duchy of Gelderlandt and there descended of an ancient and worshipful Family From which Duchy when it had been much ruined wasted and depopulated by the intestine Wars there raised and continued by Charles Duke thereof and Philip the Archduke and Charles the fifth his Son he the said Verstegan being then a young man and deprived of his Friends in the said Wars came into England about the latter end of Hen. 7. and there married and soon after died leaving behind him a Son but nine months old which gave cause of making his fortune meaner than else it might have been Afterwards when the said Son grew up to be about 16 years of age he was bound an Apprentice to a Cooper Nor is this any discredit Wolfgangus Musculus his Father being of that Trade This Cooper was Father to our author Rich. Verstegan born in the Parish of St. Catherine near to the Tower of London where his Parent mostly lived and gained so comfortable a subsistence by his Trade that he made shift to give his Son ingenious and Grammatical education which being improved by Academical in his University where he was mostly known by the name of Rowland became esteemed for some parts of learning that were not then among the Academians regarded Afterwards to avoid Oaths he left the University without a degree and being by that time a zealous R. Catholick he left England went into the Spanish Netherlands and setled at Antwerp where he composed Theatrum crudelitatum Hereticorum nostri temporis Antw. 1592. qu. in 12 sh Whether ever printed before as some say it was I cannot tell This book is full of Cuts representing the hanging quartering and beheading or butchering of Popish Martyrs engraven from the delineations made with the Pen of Verstegan who was observed while in England to be much delighted in drawing and painting The verses under to explain the meaning of them were made by one Joh. Bochius born at Bruxills and then 1592. Register if I mistake not at Antwerp Afterwards the Rebellious League beginning he conveyed himself and books to Paris where the English Embassadour complained of him to K. Hen. 3. and desired that he being born a Subject to the Q. of England and then a Fugitive and one that had abused her by his representation of Cruelties he might be delivered into his hands to be sent to England there to receive reward And the Embassador had reason for his request if that be true which is reported that K. Hen. 3. was so much possest with those cruel pictures and did put so much credit in them that he accused Q. Elizabeth of great cruelty calling her wicked and cruel woman Yet at the Embassadors desire Verstegan was imprisoned at which Jean Bouchier that active fire-brand of the League is not a little troubled and layeth it as an heretical fault on K. Hen. 3. At length Verstegan is released quits France and returns to Antwerp where as 't is said he reprinted his book exercised the Trade of Printing and by his rising up only as one tell us by Brocage and Spierie for the Hispanish'd Jesuits lived then and there 1602. as if he were an Hidalgo as who may not be a Gentleman who lives so far from home where he is not known c. At that time and before the Jesuits and Secular Priests falling out in England each party defended it self by the Pen. In this quarrel Verstegan concerns himself joyning with the Jesuits and writing in their behalf though not one of their number but rather a Secular shewing himself as zealous a railer as the best of them And indeed never was there quarrel composed of so many hard words either side considered yet whether Verstegan hath published any of his railings or whether they are done in other books I cannot tell for I have seen nothing of that nature Sure I am that about the death of Q.

Barret President of the English college in the Government of that place In 91. he was sent to Bruxells and remitted to the Camp to exercise the office of Chaplain again where with other Exiles they acted many things which tended much to the destruction of the Q. of England and not long after returned to Doway again and by the command of Cardinal Cajetan Protector of the English Nation he was made President of the English coll there ann 1599. At length being grown old and unfit to govern returned into England lived sometimes in London and sometimes in Staffordshire But that which is to be farther noted of him is that having for the most part of his life lived in the habit of a Secular Priest did about six months before his death take upon him the order and habit belonging to the Society of Jesus His works are Annotations on the Old Testament Duac 1609. in two Tomes in qu.

Peter at Ressell commonly called L'isle in Flanders which preferment he keeping for ten years was at length forced to leave it by the violence of the Jesuits because he took part with the Benedictine Monks when they prevailed so far with the Abbot of Arraâ— a good man to build a Cloister for them at Doway which was much opposed by the said Jesuits Afterwards Dr. Gifford return'd to Rheimes again and was made Rector of the Academy there which he governed with great praise and honour At length being above 50. years of age he gave a farewell to the World and its vanities entred himself into the Order of St. Benedict in June 1608. and became professed on the 14.

Abbat of the Monastery of Einsham near to and in the County of Oxford was promoted to the rich Bishoprick of Landaff in Nov. 1504. and in the year following did bestow considerable exhibitions on certain poor Scholars of Oxford in which University in Gloucester coll I think he had received his Academical education He departed his mortal life in the month of Septemb. in fifteen hundred and sixteen year 1516 at which time he bequeathed many good things to Einsham Abbey whereupon his heart and bowels were buried before the Image of S. Theodorick at the high Altar in the Church of Mathern in Monmouthshire at which place the B. of Landaff hath a Pallace and his body carried to Bristow where it was with great solemnity buried on the north side of our Ladies Chappel before the Image of S.

Pet. and S. Paul of Knock in the Province of Louth in Commendam with his Bishoprick THOMAS PURSELL whose place of Nativity is as much unknown to me as the House in Oxon wherein educated became Bishop of Waterford and Lismore in Ireland about 1486. and soon after took care that all the ancient charters of Lismore should be transcribed into a Register or Leiger-book which book remaining with his successors till 1617. was by accident then burnt He gave way to fate in fiveteen hundred and seventeen year 1517 but where buried I know not In my searches it appears that one John Bishop of Waterford was Rector of Bawdrob or Baudripp in the Diocess of Bath and Wells in January 1482. 22. Ed. 4. whom I take to be predecessor to Thom. Pursell tho not mention'd by the Author of the Com. of the Irish Bishops EDMUND COURCY was descended from the noble family of the Courcyes of the Province of Mounster in Ireland and when young became a Brother of the Franciscan Order in his own Country Afterwards going into England studied the Theological faculty of which he was in few years after Doctor among those of his Order in Oxon.

He gave way to fate in a good old age in the Monastery of his Order at Temolage in the County of Cork on the 14. of March in fiveteen hundred and eighteen year 1518 and was buried there He is said by a certain Author to be much valued for his Fidelity by K.

Saviour joyning to the South side of the Church a little above the high Altar In which Chappel he appointed some of the Vicars Choral of Exeter to say Mass daily for his Soal He was a benefactor to the said Vicars by giving them the Lands which belonged to the Brethren of the Holy Trinity at Totness in Devonshire whose Cell there had been founded by one De la Bont Lord of Little Totness but suppressed by the said Oldham to the end that they might be reduced together every day at one Table to take Commons He was also an especial Benefactor to C.

Laybourne of Cambridge who by his will dated 17. Jul. 1507. desired to be buried in the parish church of S.
