Abbot Archb. of Canterbury HENRY CARY Son of Sir Edw. Cary of Aldenham and Berchamsted in Hertfordshire Knight Master of the Jewel house to Q. Elizabeth and K. James by Katherine his Wife Daughter of Sir Hen. Knevet Knight was born in that County and at about 16 years of age was sent to obtain Academical learning in this University particularly as it seems to Exeter coll where by the help of a good Tutor and extraordinary parts be became a most accomplished Gentleman 'Ts said that during his stay in the Vniversity of Oxford his Chamber was the rendezvouz of all the eminent Wits Divines Philosophers Lawyers Historians and Politicians of that time but how true it is seeing Henry was then a young man and not graduated I cannot in the least perceive Had those things been spoken of Lucius Cary his Son who retired several times to and took commons in Exeter coll while his Brother Lorenzo studied therein 1628. and after I should have rather believed it But let the matter rest as 't is Sure I am that after Hen. Cary had left the University where he had obtained a celebrated name he was introduced into the Royal Court was made Knight of the Bath at the creation of Charles Prince of Wales Comptroller of his Majesties Houshold one of his Privy Council Lord Deputy of Ireland an 1622. and about the same time Viscount Falkland in Scotland being then in much esteem by that King for his great abilities and experience in state affairs He wrote several things but not printed and is supposed to be author of The History of the most unfortunate Prince K. Edw. 2. with choice political observations on him and his unhappy favourites Gaveston and Spencer containing several passages of those times not found in other Historians Lond. 1680. oct Which book being found among the Papers of the said Henry Visc Falkland was published therefore as his when the Press was open for all such books that could make any thing against the then Government with a Preface to the Reader patch'd up from very inconsiderable authors by Sir Ja. H. as is supposed The Reader is to know that in 1628. was published at Lond. in oct an historical Poem intit The deplorable life and death of Edward the Second K. of England together with the downfal c. written by one Rich. Hubert which Poem being printed without the knowledge of the author and so consequently full of faults and not according to his mind a true copy was printed at Lond. in the year following in oct bearing this title The History of Edw. 2. sirnamed Carnarvon one of our English Kings together with the fatal downfal of his two unfortunate Favourites Gaveston and Spencer Published by the authors own copy with the Addition of some other observations both of use and ornament written by his elder Brother Sir Franc. Hubert or Hobert Knight As for Henry Lord Falkland he gave way to fate occasioned by the breaking of his Leg on a stand in Theobald's Park in Sept. or Octob. in sixteen hundred thirty and three year 1633 but where he was buried I cannot tell He left behind him a Son named Lucius Cary begotten on the body of his Wife Elizabeth sole Daughter and Heir of Sir Laurence Tanfield L. Chief Baron of the Exchequer by whom he had the Mannor of Great Tew the Priory with the Rectory and Demesnes of Burford in Oxfordshire and other Lands Whether this Lucius was born at Burford as some think he was the publick Register of that place which commences about the beginning of the Reign of K. Jam. 1. takes no notice of it However that he was mostly nursed there by a wet and dry Nurse the Ancients of that Town who remember their names have some years since informed me So that the place of his Nativity being yet doubtful to me I must tell you that when his Father became Lord Deputy of Ireland he carried his Son Lucius then a wild Youth with him into that Country where he caused him to be educated in Academical learning in Trinity coll near to Dublin and afterwards sent him to travel under the tutelage and protection of a discreet person who making a very great reformation in him as to life manners and learning Lucius had ever after a great respect and veneration for him Upon his return he retired several times to Oxon to enlarge that learning which he had acquir'd as I shall anon tell you His first years of reason were spent in Poetry and polite learning into the first of which he made divers plausible sallies which caused him therefore to be admired by the Poets of those times particularly first by Ben. Johnson who hath an Epigram on him in his Vnderwood in the second vol. of his works 2. By Edm. Waller of Beconsfield who highly extols his worth and admirable parts and 3. By Sir John Suckling who afterwards brought him into his Poem called The Session of Poets thus He was of late so gone with Divinity That he had almost forgot his Poetry Though to say the truth and Apollo did know it He might have been both his Priest and his Poet. Much about the time of his Fathers death he became one of the Gent. of his Majesty's Privy Chamber had frequent retirements to Great Tew and sometimes to Oxon as he had done very frequently before his Marriage for the company of and conversation with learned and witty men Among whom were Will. Chillingworth of Trinity coll John Earle and Hugh Cressy of Merton coll George Aglionby of Ch. Ch. Charles Gataker of Pembroke coll Son of Thom. Gataker of Redriff or Ridrith near to London who I think was afterwards his Chaplain Thom. Triplet a very witty man of Ch. Ch. and others He had also intimate acquaintance with George Sandys the Poet who usually lived at Caswell near to Witney in the house of Sir Franc. Wâ—nman who married his Sister whose company was usually frequented when Lucius retired to his house at Burford In 1639. he was put in Commission for his Majesty in the expedition against the Scots and upon his safe return thence Abr.

James the first of England did call him into England and to the holy Ministry he being then 58 years of age and upon the promotion of Dr. John Bridges to the See of Oxon in the latter end of 1603 he made him Dean of Salisbury in Febr. 1604. He hath written 1 Assertiones Theologicae pro vera verae Ecclesiae nota quae est solius dei adoratio contra falsae ecclesiae creaturarum adorationem Rupell 1603. oct 2 England and Scotlands happiness in being reduced to unity of Religion under K.

Gourden of Sudderland who married his only Daughter and Heir named Lucy he left his MSS. of his own composition written in Latine and English desiring him that the English may be published in Scotland and the Latine beyond the Seas to the end that the great pains that he had taken about them may not be lost These Noble Men Knights and Esquires following were actually created Masters of Arts on the 30. of August the King being then in Oxford The illustrious Prince Esme Stuart Duke of Lenox near of kin to the King James 1. of England He was Father to Lodowick the first Duke of Richmond of his name Henry de Vere Earl of Oxford He was Son of Edw. de Vere called by some the Poetical Earl of Oxford and died at the Siege of Breda in the Netherlands an 1625.

Herbert Earl of Pembroke the very picture and Viva effigies of Nobility a Person truly generous a singular lover of learning and the professors thereof and therefore by the Academians elected their Chancellour some years after this His Person was rather Majestick than elegant and his presence whether quiet or in motion was full of stately gravity His mind was purely heroick often stout but never disloyal and so vehement an opponent of the Spaniard that when that match fell under confideration in the latter end of the Reign of K. Jam. 1. he would sometimes rouze to the trepidation of that King yet kept in favour still for His Majesty knew plain dealing as a jewell in all Men so was in a Privy Counsellour an ornamental duty and the same true heartedness commended him to K. Ch. 1. Philip Herbert his younger Brother now Earl of Montgomery He was quite different in nature from the aforesaid William being a Person esteemed a very frequent swearer and one so intolerably cholerick quarrelsome and offensive while he was Lord Chamberlain to K. Ch. 1. that he did not refrain to break many wiser heads than his own Mr. Thomas May the translator of Lucan and afterwards Historian to the Long Parliament felt the weight of his staff which had not his office and the place being the Banquetting-house protected it might have been a question whether ever he would have struck again See more of him in Will.

March 1618 and was buried in the Church of Marsh-Balden or Balden in the Marsh near to and in the County of Oxford as I have elsewhere told you He was Doctor of Divinity and therefore I presume the Registrary of the University should have put him among such that were incorporated this year and not among the Creations of Masters of Arts.

a plain honest Man and therefore beloved by that King who often intrusted him as a Messenger to carry letters from him to Qu. Elizabeth At length being made Master of the Great Wardrobe to K.

In the year following 1612 after he had taken leave of his Countrymen by an oration spoken at the Cross in Odcombe he took a long and large journey with intentions not to return to his native Country till he had spent 10 years in travelling to and fro The first place he went to was Constantinople where he took special notice of all things there observable In which place he found very great respect and encouragement from Sir Paul Pindar then and there Embassadour Being there for some time he took his opportunities to view divers parts in Greece and in the Helespont he took special notice of those two Castles directly opposed each to other called Sestos and Abydot which stand on the several banks that bound that very narrow Sea Which places Musâ—â—u makes famous in his very antient Poem of Hero and Leander He saw Smyrna famous at that time for trade but not religion and what then remain'd of the ruins of sometimes great Troy but the very ruins of that place were almost all gone to ruine From Smyrna he found a passage to Alexandria in Egypt and there near Grand Catro antiently called Memphis he observed what remain'd of the once famous Pyramids Returning thence back to Alexandria he found a passage by Sea to Joppa and travelling thence 20 English miles he arrived at Jerusalem but found it a very solitary rocky and uncomfortable way full of danger by reason of the wild Arabs who keep about those passages to make poor travellers their prey and spoil In Jerusalem he saw Mount Calvery where our Saviour suffered then enclosed within the Walls Bethlem where he was born about 5 English miles from Jerusalem and Mount Olivet whence he ascended From Jerusalem he took his way to make a view of the Dead Sea the place where Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboim once stood Thence he went to have a sight of the River Jordan which dischargeth it self into that most uncomfortable Lake and from thence he journied north-east through the Ten Tribes till he came to Mount Libanus Thence back to Sidon where he got a passage by Sea unto Alexandretta now called Scanderoon which is one of the most unwholesome places in the world Thence he took his way to Aleppo in Syria about 70. miles distant from Scanderoon where he was kindly received by the English Consul and tarried with him till he could get the benefit of a Caravan which consists of a great multitude of people from divers parts which get and keep together travelling in those parts for fear of the incursions and violences by Thieves and Murderers which they would undoubtedly meet withal if they travelled single or but few together With these he after set forward towards and to that City anciently called Nineveh in Assyria which we find in the Prophecy of Jonah was sometimes a great and excellent City of three days journey but then so exceedingly lessen'd and lodg'd in obscurity that passengers could not say this was Nineveh From thence he journied to Babylon in Chaldea situated upon the River Euphrates once likewise so great that Aristotle called it a Country not a City but now very much contracted From this place he proceeded through both the Armeniaâ—s and either did or else he was made to believe that he saw the very mountain Ararat whereon the ark of Noah tested after the flood From thence he went forward towards the Kingdom of Persia and there to Vspahan the usual place of residence for the great King Thence to Seras antiently called Shushan where the great King Ahasuerus kept his Royal and most Magnificent Court Afterwards to Candahor the first Province north-east under the subjection of the Great Mogul and so to Lahore the chiefest City but one belonging to that great Empire of very great trade wealth and delight From Lahore he went to Agra which is 400 English miles planted with great Trees on both sides which are all the year cloathed with leaves exceeding beneficial unto travellers for the shade they afford them in those hot climes At Agra he made an halt being there lovingly received in the English Factory where he staid till he had gotten to the Turkish and Morisco or Arabian Languages some good knowledge in the Persian and Indostan Tongues in which study he was always very apt and in little time shewed much proficiency The first of those two the Persian

Florio who married Sam. Daniel's Sister and many times delighted with his conversation not only in private but in publick was partly for those reasons held in esteem by the men of that age for his excellencies in Poetry and History and partly in this respect that in writing the History of English affairs whether in Prose or Poetry he had the happiness to reconcile brevity with clearness qualities of great distance in other authors This is the opinion of a late author but one who lived in Samuel Daniel's time tells us that his works contain somewhat a flat but yet withal a very pure and copious English and words as warrantable as any mans and fitter perhaps for Prose than Measure Our author Daniel had also a good faculty in setting out a Mask or a Play and was wanting in nothing that might render him acceptable to the great and ingenious men of his time as to Sir Joh.

Lyte mentioned under the year 1607. by his second Wife Fraunces Daughter of John Tiptoft of London and after he had been partly educated in Grammar learning in his native Country of Sommersetshire did spend several years in Academicals in this University But his Genie being mostly inclined to Genealogies and Histories he left it without a degree and retiring to his Patrimony and ancient Seat called Lytes-cary in the said County did draw up with very great curiosity the Genealogy of James 1. from Bruâ—â— written by him on Vellam with his own hand fairer than any print it was also illuminated with admirable flourishes and painting and had the pictures of the Kings and Queens mentioned therein most neatly performed by the hands of an exact Limner This Genealogy the author did dedicate to his Majesty who after a long and serious perusal of it gave the said author his picture in Gold set with diamonds with gracious thanks Charles Prince of Wales afterwards K. Ch. 1. was so exceedingly taken with it that he gave the author his picture in Gold also Camden before mentioned had the perusal of it and underneath wrote with his own hand about 6 verses in commendation of it and the author About which time it being hang'd up in publick in one of the rooms at Whitehall became by the carelessness of pages and idle people a little soiled wherefore upon the authors desire made to his Majesty it was engraven on copper and printed with this title The most royally ennobled Genealogy of the high and mighty Prince and renowned Monarch James by the Grace of God K. of Great Brittain c. extracted from Brute the most noble Founder of the Brittains as also from the first original of the Scots from them ascending to the Imperial Romans the warlike Picts the Saxons Danes and conquering Normans with his lineal descent from Charlemaine and other the modern Kings of France their several regiments titles honors matches sirnames and descents when they began their Reign how long each Prince ruled and governed the Estate Royal the manner of their death and place of burial Whereunto is added their Regal Ensigns Arms atchievements of Honour Emblems and memorable Epitaphs c. reduced into a Genealogical Table c.

Coventrie sometimes fellow of Ball. coll was born at or near to Crome D'abitot in Worcestershire became a Gent. Commoner of the said coll in Michaelm -Term an 1592. aged 14 whence
either in Oriel or Lincoln college or successively in both In the former I have reason to suppose so because several of his name and kindred were members thereof soon after if not in his own time and in the other because in the Bursars accompts thereof I find one Mr. Will. Smyth to have been a Commoner of that house before and in the year 1478. being the same without all doubt with this person of whom we now speak Howsoever it is tho I am not ignorant that he was a benefactor to both the said colleges especially the last and that in an Epistle to him concerning his election to the Chancellourship of the Univ. of Oxon the Members thereof do say that he was sometimes Alumnus Academiae Oxon sure I am that he as others being fearful of divers pests hapning in Oxon in their time did receed to Cambridge where this Will. Smyth became Fellow and afterwards Master of Pembroke hall About that time he was made Archdeacon of Surrey D. D. of Cambridge in which degree he was incorporated at Oxon and afterward Clerk of the Hamper if I mistake not for we have an Epistle written to one Mr. Will. Smyth Cler. Hamperii for the expedition of the consummation of the privileges of the University and at length being elected Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry had restitution made of the temporalities of that See 29. Jan. 8. H. 7. dom 1492. After he had sate there about three years he was elected Bishop of Lincoln so that having restitution made of the temporalities thereof on the 6. Feb. 1495. sate there till the time of his death became a great man in the Kings favour Councellour to Prince Arthur President of Wales being the first of all that bore that office Chancellour of the University of Oxford and the prime founder of Brasnose coll there He gave way to fate on the second day of January in fifteen hundred and thirteen year 1513 and was buried in the great middle Isle near to the Sepulchre of Will. Alnwyke sometimes B. of Linc. towards the west end of the Cath. Church at Lincoln Over his grave was a very large marble Tomb-stone soon after laid even with the pavement having thereon engraven on a large brass plate the portraicture of a Bishop mitred and vested for the Altar with a Crosier in his left hand and on the verge of the said stone was this inscription engraven on several narrow plates of brass Sub marmore isto tenet hic tumulus ossa venerabilis in Christo Patris ac Domini Domini Willielmi Smyth quondam Conventriensis Lychfeldensis ac deinde Lincolniensis Presulis qui obiit secundo die mensis Januarii anno Domini Millesimo quingentesimo tertio decimo cujus anime propitietur deus qui pius misericors in die tribulationis misericors peccata remittit Ecclesiastiio At the foot of the portraicture are these verses following engraven on a brass plate fastned to the said stone Cestrensis Presul post Lyncolniensis Amator Cleri nam multos cis mare transque aluit Quique utriusque fuit Prefectus Principis aule Fundavitque duas perpetuando Scholas Aulaque sumptu hujus renovatus est Enea Criste Hic situs est anime parte benigne sue You may see more of this worthy Bishop in Hist Antiq Vniv. Oxon. lib. 2. p. 104. b. 161. b. 212. 415. b. He the said Dr. Smyth gave three hundred pounds to John the Prior and Convent of Laund in Leycestershire to have the Parsonage and Parish Church of Roysthorne in Cheshire bought and appropriated to their house Which accordingly being done the said Prior and Convent did in consideration thereof give and confirm under their Common Seal to the Mayor and Citizens of Chester an annuity of ten pounds to be paid from the Monastery of S. Werburgh within the said City to the end that they pay that annuity to a Master or Bachelaur of Arts or at least to a Master of Grammar that should teach Grammar freely at Farnworth in Lancashire This was done 22. Hen. 7. and soon after was a School settled there He also gave many ornaments and other stuff to Brasnose coll to be used in their Chappel and elsewhere CHRISIOPHER BAINBRIDGE Bambridg or Baynbrigg was born at Hilton near Appleby in Westmoreland educated in Queens coll of which he became Provost before the year 1495. being about that time LL. D. and afterwards a liberal benefactor thereunto In Feb. 1485. he being then Prebendary of South-Grantham in the Cath. Church of Salisbury which he resigned became Prebendary of Chardstock in the said Church and in Apr. 1486. was made Preb. of Horton in that Church on the resignation of R. Morton In 1503. Sept. 28. he was admitted Preb. of Strenshall in the Cath. Ch. of York then void by the consecration of Jeffr. Blyth to the See of Lich. and Coventry and on the 21. Dec. following he was installed Dean of the said Church of York in the place of the said Jeffr. Blyth who had been installed in that Dignity in the place of Dr. Will. Sheffield deceased 24. Mar. 1496. In 1505. he was not only made Dean of Windsore but Master of the Rolls and one of the Kings Councellours in which year he resigned his Rectory of the Ch. of Aller in the Dioc. of B. and Wells In 1507. he being elected Bishop of Durham had restitution made to him of the temporalities of that See 17. Nov. the same year and in the next being elected Archbishop of York on the death of Thom. Savage had the temporalities also of that See restored to him 12. Dec. 24. Hen. 7.

King of France and in 1514. being then in Rome was poisoned by one Rinaldo de Modena an Italian Priest who was his Steward upon malice and displeasure conceived for a blow his Master gave him as the said Rinaldo when he was executed for it confessed at his death He ended his days on the 14. July in fifteen hundred and fourteen and was as certain authors say buried in the English hospital now called the English college in Rome year 1514 The author of Cardinal Wolseys life saith that the said Cardinal Bainbridge died at Rohan in France being then and there the Kings Embassador Onuph Panvinius and Joh. Baleus with his authors tells us that Christopher Vrswyke who was Predecessor to the said Cardinal Bainbridge in the Deanry of Windsore was made Cardinal of S. Praxedis but false for it must be understood of Bainbridge As for Christoph Vrswyke he had been Recorder of London in part of the Reign of Edw. 4. in the time of Ric. 3. and in part of Hen. 7.
