Giles in the Fields near London Over his grave near to the South wall of the Church was soon after a monument erected built after the way of the old Romans by the care and charge of his beloved friend Inigo Jones the Kings Architect whereon is engraven this Georgius Chapmannus Poeta Homericus Philosophus verus etsi Christianus Poeta plusquam celebris c. He hath been highly celebrated among men for his brave language in his translation of Homers Iliads those I mean which are translated into Tessara-decasyllabons or lines of fourteen syllables Our author Shirley did also much assist his generous Patrone William Duke of Newcastle in the composure of certain Plays which the Duke afterwards published and was a Drudge for John Ogilby in his translation of Homers Iliads and Odysses and some of Virgils works into English verse with the writing of annotations on them At length after Mr. Shirley had lived to the age of 72 years at least in various conditions and had seen much of the world he with his second Wife Frances were driven by the dismal conflagration that hapned in London an 1666 from their habitation near to Fleetstreet into the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields in Middlesex where being in a manner overcome with affrightments disconsolations and other miseries occasion'd by that fire and their losses they both died within the compass of a natural day whereupon their bodies were buried in one grave in the yard belonging to the said Church of S.

Newton preached a Sermon before a large auditory mostly consisting of Dissenters wherein were many things said to the great honour of the person that then laid dead before him Over his grave was only this engraven on a stone Here Mr. Joseph Allein lies To God and you a sacrifice Not long after was published his life written by Mr. Rich. Baxter who wrot also the introduction Rich. Alleine Rich. Faireclough George Newton his Widow Theodosia Alleine and two conforming Ministers who conceal their names From which Sermon and canting farce or life especially that ridiculous discourse of Theodosia the reader may easily understand what a grand zealot for the cause this our author Jos Alleine was and how his life was spent in actions busie forward if not pragmatical and medling without intermission The said Theodosia a prating Gossip and a meer Zantippe finding Jos Alleine to be a meer Scholar and totally ignorant of Womens tricks did flatter sooth him up and woe and soon after married and brought him to her Luer After she had buried him and being not able to continue long without a consort she freely courted a lusty Chaundler of Taunton alienated his affections by false reports from a young Damsel that he was enamoured with and by three days courting they were the fourth day married as I have been credibly informed by several persons of Taunton and so obtained him meerly to supply her salacious humour In 1â—91 our author Alleine had another book put out under his name entit A sure Guide to heaven c. printed in tw RICHARD GOVE a Gentlemans Son was born at South Tavistock in Devonsh became a Commoner of Magd.

Afterwards entring into holy Orders he became Chaplain to John Lord Paulet and in Aug. 1618 was by him presented to the rectory of Henton S. George in Somersetshire at which place much about the same time he taught a Grammar School In the time of the rebellion he was outed thence for his loyalty as some of his relations have said but I think false and afterwards retiring to the City of Exeter closed so much with the Presbyterians that he became Minister of S. Davids Church there and for several years was much frequented by them About the time of his Majesties restauration he went to East Coker in Somersetshire where he had lived for some time before he went to Exeter at which place he taught School for some time and afterwards was made Minister of it His works are The Saints hony-comb full of Divine truths touching both Christian belief and a Christian life in two cent Lond. 1652. oct The Communicants guide directing both the younger and elder sort how they may receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Lond. 1654. oct Pious thoughts vented in pithy ejaculations Lond. 1658. oct as also A Catechisme print in oct which I have not yet seen He died on the vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and eight and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of East Coker before mention'd but hath neither inscription or monumental stone over his grave JOHN DENHAM the only Son of Sir Joh.

Com. in Michaelm term an 1631. aged 16 years But being looked upon as a slow and dreaming young man by his seniors and contemporaries and given more to cards and dice than his study they could never then in the least imagine that he could ever inrich the World with his fansie or issue of his brain as he afterwards did From Trin. Coll. where he continued about 3 years and had been examined in the publick Schools for the degree of Bach. of Arts he went to Lincolns inn where tho he followed his study very close to the appearance of all persons yet he would game much and frequent the company of the unsanctified crew of Gamesters who rook'd him sometimes of all he could wrap or get But his Father having received notice of these matters took him severely to task with many threatnings to cast him off if he did not forbear from so doing Whereupon he wrot a Little Essay against Gaming shewing the vanities and inconveniencies which he presented to his Father to let him know his detestation of it After his Fathers death who died 6. Jan. 1638 and was buried in Egham Church in Surrey he fell to gaming again and shortly after squandred away several thousands of pounds that were left him c. In the latter end of the year 1641 he published the Tragedy called The Sophy which took extremely much and was admired by all ingenious men particularly by Edm. Waller of Beaconsfield who then said of the author that he broke out like the Irish rebellion threescore thousand strong when no body was aware or in the least suspected it Shortly after he was prick'd High Sherriff for Surrey and made Governour of Farnham Castle for the King But he being an inexpert soldier soon after left that office and retired to his Maj. at Oxon where he printed his poem called Coopers hill which hill is in the Parish of Egham in Surrey above Runney mead hath a very noble prospect and the author of it from thence doth admirably well describe several places in his view there which he mentions in that most celebrated poem In 1648 he conveyed or stole away James Duke of York from S. James's in Westminster then under the tuition of Algernon Earl of Northumberland and carried him into France to the Prince of Wales and the Qu. Mother and not long after was sent with William afterwards Lord Crofts as Envoyes to the King of Poland by the said Prince then K. Ch. 2. In 1652 or thereabouts he return'd into England and being in some streights for by gaming and the War he had squandred away much of his Estate at Egham and elsewhere and the rest ordered to be sold by the Parliament 15 July 1651 he was kindly entertain'd by the Earl of Pembroke at Wilton where

said elaborate Treatises and some conceive that the pains and travels of bringing forth the younger tho more spiritual manchild did cost him his life They are and have been both taken into the hands of learned men and by them often quoted The Author is stiled by the head of the Presbyterian Party A very learned and great Conformist and by others of moderate perswasion a most profound Clerk He died at Burton commonly called Burton place before mention'd on the second day of December in sixteen hundred fifty and two and was not buried according to his Will in the Chancel of the said Chap. or Church which Sir Will Goring denied because he left him not those Legacies he expected but in the body under the Readers seat Over his grave tho there be no monument with inscription on it which the Testator desir'd yet on the south Wall of the Chancel of Harwell Church before mention'd is fastned a Tablet of Free-stone with this written on it which shall now go for his Epitaph for want of a better Christopher Elderfield Clerk born in this Parish gave by his last will and testament three hundred and fifty pounds with two hundred fourscore and four pounds whereof was bought so much land in the Parish of South Moreton as is worth twenty pounds per an And the other sixty and six pounds thereof residue according to a Decree in his Majesties Court of Chancery remain in the hands of the Church-wardens and other Officers of Hagborne the benefit whereof he willed to be employed yearly in works of charity bounty or piety for the good of this Parish But he expresly forbid that it should be added to the making up of taxes or any other way perverted to the easing of able men upon any pretence particularly he willed every Spring two good milch Cows to be bought and given to two the poorest men or widdows burdned with many children toward their sustentation He died Decemb. 2. an dom 1652. Thus far the inscription He also beside several Legacies which he left to several people bequeathed to the University of Oxon his Manuscripts of Lyra on the Psalmes the History of Tobit in Hebrew with Rodolphus his Postills bound up with Lyra Clemens Romanus with the Tract of Purgatory bound up with it He left also six and thirty pounds to be bestowed upon godly poor Ministers cast down by these times meaning loyal Ministers ejected from their Livings JOHN DIGBY was born of an antient and gentile family living in the Parish of Coleshill in Warwickshire in the month of Febr. 1580 became a Commoner of Magd. Coll. in 1595 and the next year I find him to be one of the Poets of the University to bewail the death of Sir Hen. Unton of Wadley in Berks. Knight Afterwards he travelled into France and Italy and returned a well-qualified Gentleman So that his Abilities and Fidelity being occasionally discerned by K. James he was admitted Gentleman of the Privy Chamber and one of his Majesties Carvers in the year 1605 being then newly created Master of Arts of this University On the 16 of Feb. following he received the honor of Knighthood and in Apr. 1611 he was sent Ambassador into Spain as he was afterwards again in 1614. In the beginning of January about the third day 1615 Sir Franc. Cottington was sent into Spain to call him home and about the middle of March following he returned into England On the 3 of Apr. 1616 he was admitted one of the Kings Privy Council and Vicechamberlain of his Majesties Houshold in the place of Philip Lord Stanhope who was persuaded by the Kings Letters to give up that Office In July 1617 he was sent again into Spain and the next year upon his return he was advanced to the dignity of a Baron of this Realm 25 of Nov. by the Title of the Lord Digby of Shirebourne in Dorsetshire In 1620 he was sent Ambassador to the Archduke Albert and the next year following to Ferdinand the Emperor as also to the Duke of Bavaria Whence returning in Octob. 1621 he was again in 1622 employed Ambassador extraordinary to the Spaniard touching a Marriage between Prince Charles who followed him in few months after and Princess Maria Daughter to Philip 3. King of that Realm and on the 15 of Sept. the same year he was created Earl of Bristow After his return he shew'd himself right able to appear before the English Parliament where he worsted the greatest Minion Buckingham the Folly Love or Wisdom of any King since the Conquest ever bred in this Nation As thro a prodigious dexterity he became the Confident of K. James so likewise of his son K. Ch. 1. for a time tho they drove on if not contrary divers designs From that time till the beginning of the Long Parliament we find no great matter of him when then he being found guilty of concealing some say of promoting a Petition of the Gentry and Ministers of Kent which was to be delivered to the Parliament he with Thomas Mallet were committed for a time to the Tower 28 March 1642. Afterwards perceiving full well what destructive Courses the Members of that Parliament took he left them and became a zealous Adherer to the King and his Cause for which at length he suffer'd Exile and the loss of his Estate He hath extant these things following Several Speeches as 1 Speech in the High Court of Parliament 7 Dec. 1640. About which time he spake another upon the delivery of the Scottish Remonstrance and Schedule of their Charges 2 Sp. in the High Court of Parl. 20 May 1642. concerning an accommodation of Peace and Union to be had between the K. and his two Houses of Parliament Lond. 1642. qu. in one sh Reprinted at Caen in Normandy 1647. in fol. and qu.

It was spoken after Edghill Fight and was reprinted at Lond. the same year Other Speeches of his I have seen in MS. which for brevity sake I now pass by A Tract wherein is set down those motives and ties of Religion Oaths Laws Loyalty and Gratitude which obliged him to adhere unto the King in the late unhappy Wars in England Tract wherein he vindicateth his honor and innocency from having in any kind deserved that injurious and merciless censure of being excepted from pardon or mercy either in life or fortunes These two Tracts have the general Title of His Apologie Appendix containing many particulars specified in his first Tract meaning his Motives and tyes of Religion with the citations of the Chapters and Pages wherein they are cited The said two Tracts with the Appendix
Prison in hot weather contracting a disease he died thereof in the month of Septemb. one tells me the second and another the 22d day about 5 of the Clock in the morning to the great grief of his disciples in sixteen hundred sixty and two Whereupon his body being conveyed to the burial place joyning to Old Bedlam in Morefields near London was there deposited by the Brethren who soon after took care that an altar monument of stone should be erected over his grave with an inscription thereon shewing that he was Master of Arts of the University of Oxon and that he had given to the world great specimens of his learning and piety c. He had in him a sharp and quick judgment and a prodigious memory and being very industrious withal was in a capacity of devouring all he read He was wonderfully well vers'd in the Scriptures and could not only repeat all St. Pauls Epistles in English but also in the Greek tongue which made him a ready Disputant He was accounted by those of his perswasion a sober man in his discourse and to have nothing of impiety folly or scurrility to proceed from him Also so devout that he seldom or never prayed without being prostrat or flat on the ground as his life which I have attests Soon after his death his Twofold Catechisme was turned into Latine and printed in oct 1665. The first called A Scripture Cat. was done by Anon. The other called A brief Scripture Cat. for Children was done by a youth called Nathaniel Stuckey and at the end of it was printed 1 Oratiuncula de passione morte Christi made by the said Stuckey 2 Exemplum literarum Jeremiae Felbingeri ad Joh. Biddellum dated at Dantsick 24. Aug. Styl vet 1654. This Nath. Stuckey who had been partly bred up in Grammar and Logick by Biddle or at least by his care died 27. Sept. 1665 aged 16 years and was buried close to the grave of Biddle as it appears by an inscription engraven for him on one side at the bottom of Biddles monument A certain Author tells us that the said Biddle translated into English the Alchoran and the book called The three grand Impostors damn'd for shame But upon what ground he reports these things he tells us not Sure I am that there is no such thing mention'd in his life and whether there be such a book in rerum natura as the Three grand Impostors meaning Moses Mahomet and Christ is by many knowing men doubted After the coming to the Crown of England of William Prince of Orange when then more liberty was allowed to the press than before were several of John Biddles things before mention'd reprinted in the beginning of the year 1691 viz. 1 His 12 questions with An exposition of five principal passages c. 2 A confession of faith c. 3 The Testimonies of Irenaeus c. And before them was set a short account of his life taken from that written in Latine by J. F. as I have here in the margin told you WILLIAM LENTHALL second Son of Will. Lenth of Lachford in Oxfordshire by Frances his Wife Daughter of Sir Tho. Southwell of St. Faiths in the County of Norfolk was born in a Market Town called Henley upon Thames in the said County of Oxon in an house near to the Church there in the latter end of June 1591 descended from Will Lenthall or Leynthall a Gentleman of Herefordshire who in the beginning of K. Edw. 4. married with the Dau. and Heir of .... Pyperd of Lachford before mention'd Which Pyperd also was descended from a younger Son of those of his name living at Great Haseley in Oxfordshire who I mean the said younger Son much in renown in the beginning of K. Edw. 3. performed military acts so valiantly against the Scots that he did not only receive the honour of Knighthood from the King but the mannour of Lachford from his Father to hold by Kings service of the mannour of Pyperd of Great Haseley before mention'd in which Parish Lachford is situated It is here to be noted by the way that both the Haselies did for many descents belong to the Pyperds whose mannour-place was the same which is now the Farm-place situated near to the Church But the Male line being there worn out in the raign of Ed. 3. the said mannour place with the patronage of the rectory of Haseley was given to the College at Windsore of the Dean and Canons of which the said Farm-place is and hath been for several generations held by the said Lenthalls As for Little Haseley now called Haseley Court where in the time of K. Hen. 8. was a right fair mansion place with marvellous fair walks toperarii operis and orchard and pools belonging to Sir Will. Barentine whose Daughter Marie Anth. Huddleston Esq took to Wife was also numbred among the antient possessions of the Pyperds and was held of their mannour by Knights service As for this Will. Lenthall of whom we are now to speak he became a Commoner of S. Albans Hall in the year 1606 where continuing about 3 years departed without the honour of a degree and went to Lincolns Inn where applying his mind to the study of the municipal Law became a Counsellor of note and in the 13. of Ch. 1. Lent-reader of the said Inn being then as before noted for his practice in his profession In the latter end of 1639 he was elected Burgess for the Corporation of Woodstock in Oxfordsh to serve in that short Parliament which began at Westm 13. of Apr. 1640 and in Oct. following he was chose again for the same place to serve in that unhappy Convention called the Long Parliament begun 3. of Nov. the same year At which time being elected Speaker worth to him 2000 l. per an he kept that honorable office by siding with the leading Party till its dissolution without any adherance to the King when by force he left that Parliament Whether he acted justly in his place 't is to be question'd forasmuch as he was not only false to the members thereof in many things but also kept correspondence with that noted Minister of State in France Cardinal Julius Mazarini as 't is very well known Being thus put into the road to get beneficial places and so consequently riches which he hungred after by the continual importunities of his covetous Wife named Elizabeth Dau. of Ambrose Evans of Lodington in Northamptonshire Gent he became Master of the Rolls 8 Nov. 1643 worth as 't is said 3000 l. per an one of the Commissioners of the Great Seal 1646 worth 1500 l. per an Chamberlain of Chester 1647 in the room of James E. of Derby a place of profit as well as honour which last he occupying till 1654 was succeeded by John Glynn Lord Ch.

As for the said Treatise of Monarchy which hath been and is still in great vogue among many persons of Commonwealth and Levelling Principles was reprinted when the Press was open in 1680 when then the factious party endeavoured to carry on their designs upon account of the Popish Plot. But forasmuch as 't is said therein that the Soveraignity of England is in the three Estates viz. King Lords and Commons that proposition was condemned by the judgment and decree of the University of Oxon in their Convocation held 21. July 1683 and the book it self wherein it is was then publickly burnt in the School-quadrangle Afterwards as soon as the Prince of Orange was come into England at which time the Nation was in a hurry it was again printed at Lond. in January 1688 qu. with the date of 1689 put to it Under our authors name goes also a book entit Jus Regum c.

Albans Hall but before he had spent two years there which was under Mr. Tho. Jones he left that antient house Oxford being then garrison'd for his Majesty and the Scholars in arms for him and forthwith retired to France where at Caen in Normandy he took the degree of Master of Arts in the Sylvanian Coll. 8. of July 1644. About which time he studied Divinity carried it on for at least two years at Samaur under the famous Divine and Writer Moses Amyraldus Divinity Reader in that University Afterwards he retired to his own Country continued there for a time among his Relations but at length being expuls'd thence with Monsieur Le Conteur and Dan. Brevint both born in Jersey our author Durell who was the first that left that place took his journey to Paris and there received Episcopal Ordination in the Chappel of the honorable and truly noble Sir Rich. Browne Knight his Majesties then Resident in France from the hands of Thomas Bish of Galloway after the Kings restauration of Orkney about 1651. So that being a native of Jersey ordained in France and by a Scotch Bishop doth make a certain Writer doubt whether he was Ecclesiae Anglicanae Presbyter as our author stiles himself in his books Soon after he resided at S. Maloes and acquainting his friends with the condition he was then in he was thereupon kindly invited by the reformed Church at Caen by an express on purpose to come there and become one of their Ministers in the absence of Monsieur Sam. Bochart the famous Orientalian Philologist and Critick author of Geographia sacra c. and of that Latin Letter to Dr. George Morley at the end of that book who was then going into Sweden Not long after the Landtgrave of Hessen having written to the Ministers of Paris to send to him a Minister to preach in French at his Highness's Court he was by them recommended to that Prince from whom likewise he received a very kind invitation by Letters which he kept by him to the time of his death But the providence of God not permitting him to go to either of those places he became at length Chaplain to the Duke de la Force Father to the Princess of Turein Monsieur Le Couteur being invited likewise at the same time to the reform'd Church of Caen and Brevint to another Church in Normandy where he was prefer'd to be Chaplain to the Prince of Turein Before I go any farther I must tell you that about 1642 the Duke of Soubize living near to the Court at Whitehall and finding it troublesome and sometime impossible by reason of his infirmities to go to the VValloons Church in the City of London had commonly a French sermon preached before him in his own house every Sunday This being found very commodious to the French living near thereunto it was thought convenient upon the death of the said Duke to set up a French Church about the Strand And it being in a manner setled that in the City did so highly resent it that ever after the members thereof did endeavour by all means possible to pull it down Upon the Kings restauration the French Church in the City addressed his Majesty to have the French Congregation at VVestminster broken and forbidden to assemble because it was not established by lawful authority That at VVestminster did present an humble suit to his Majesty that he would be pleased to continue it His Maj. upon consideration of the matter granted both their requests by breaking the Congregation at VVestm and by setting up a new Church under the immediate jurisdiction of the Bishop of London wherein divine Service
wealth and gaining credit thereby he became one of the number of those that gave Sentence against Arthur Lord Capell Rob. Earl of Holland and James Duke of Hamilton who were all beheaded In 1650 he published a remarkable book called The government of the people of England precedent and present c. and by vertue of a return dated 21. June 1655 he by the name of Joh. Parker of the Temple one of the Commissioners for the removing obstructions at Worcester House in the the Strand near London was the next day sworn Serjeant at Law Oliver being then Lord Protector On the 18. of Jan. or thereabouts an 1659 he was appointed by the Parliament one of the Barons of the Court of Exchecquer but being soon after removed thence before or at the restauration of K. Ch. 2 we heard no more of him afterwards As for Samuel whom we are farther to mention he was by the care of his Parents severe Puritans and Schismaticks puritanically educated in Grammar learning at Northampton and being made full ripe for the University he was by them sent to Wadham Coll. in Midsomer or Act term 1656 and being by them committed to the tuition of a Presbyterian Tutour he did according to his former breeding lead a strict and religious life fasted prayed with other Students weekly together and for their refection feeding on thin broth made of Oatmeal and and water only they were commonly called Grewellers He and they did also usually go every week or oftner to an house in the Parish of Halywell near their College possessed by Bess Hampton an old and crooked Maid that drove the trade of Laundrey who being from her youth very much given to the Presbyterian Religion had frequent meetings for the Godly party especially for those that were her Customers To this house I say which is commonly called the ninth house belonging to Mert. Coll. they did often resort and our author Parker was so zealous and constant a hearer of the Prayers and Sermons there held forth a receiver of the Sacraments and such like that he was esteemed one of the preciousest young men in the University Upon the Kings return in 1660 he being then Bach. of Arts he was for some time at a stand what to do yet notwithstanding he did Pray Cabal and Discourse to obstruct Episcopal Government Revenews and Authority but being discountenanc'd in his doings by the then Warden of his Coll Dr. Blandford who as 't is said did expel him but false he went to Trin. Coll and by the prevailing advice of Dr. Ralph Bathurst a Senior Fellow thereof he was rescued from the chains and fetters of an unhappy education which he afterwards publickly avouched in print So that ever after being a zealous Anti-puritan and strong Assertor of the Ch. of England did cause an abusive and foul-mouthd author to say that he was worse than his Contemporary Foullis meaning Hen. Foulis of Linc. Coll. the original of whose name tho stinking and foul as he saith and in nature foul yet he was alwaies the same person in Principles that is a bitter enemy against the Presbyterians In 1663 our author Parker proceeded Master of Arts as a Grand-Compounder and a member of Trin. Coll and afterwards entring into holy Orders he was frequently in London and became as 't is said Chaplain to a Nobleman and a great Droller on the Puritans c. In 1665 he published his Tentamina and dedicating them to Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Cant. made himself thereupon known to that great person About that time he became Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1667 just after Easter leaving Oxford for altogether he was summoned to Lambeth the Michaelmas after and being made one of the Chaplains to the said Archbishop was thereby put into the road of preferment In June 1670 he was install'd Archdeacon of Canterbury in the place as it seems of Dr. W. Sancroft and on the 26 of Nov. following he had the degree of Doctor of Div. confer'd on him at Cambridg at which time William Prince of Aurange or Orange was entertained there On the 18. of Nov. 1672 he was installed Prebendary of Canterb. as he himself hath told me and about that time had the Rectories of Ickham and Chartham in Kent bestowed on him In the beginning of 1685 he resigned his Prebendship purposely to please his friend Dr. Joh. Bradford but that person dying about 6 weeks after his instalment Dr. Joh. Younger of Magd. Coll. in Oxon did succeed him by the favour of Josepha Maria the Royal Consort of K. Jam. 2 to whom he had spoken an Italian Oration in the said Coll. when she was entertain'd at Oxon 1683. On the 17 of Octob. 1686 he was Consecrated Bishop of Oxon at Lambeth in the place of Dr. Fell deceased and had liberty then allow'd him to keep his Archdeaconry in Commendam with it Before I go any further with his person the Reader is to understand these brief things following viz. that after the death of Dr. Hen. Clerk President of Magd. Coll. a Citation was stuck up to warn the Fellows to an election of new Governour but before the time was come to do it came a Mandamus from K. Jam. 2. to the Society to elect to that Office a junior Master of Arts named Anth. Farmer formerly of Cambridge then Demy of the said Coll but the Society taking little or no notice of it they elected according to their Statutes one of their Society named Joh. Hough Bac. of Div. on the 15. of Apr. 1687 whereupon his Majesty resenting the matter it was tried and discussed before his Ecclesiastical Commissioners newly erected by him Before whom there were then attested such vile things relating to the Life and Conversation of Farmer that he was thereupon laid aside On the 22. of June following the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners removed Mr. Hough from his place which was notified by a paper stuck up on the West door of the Chappel on the 2. of Aug. following subscribed by the said Commissioners whereupon his Majesty sent his Mandate of the 14. of the said month to elect Dr. Sam. Parker B. of Oxon to be their President but they being not in capacity to elect him because of their Oaths and Statutes his Maj. sent to Oxon three Commissioners to examine matters and put his Mandate in execution So that after they had sate in the College two days examined affairs and had commanded Dr. Hough thrice to deliver up the Keys of the Presidents Lodgings which he refused they thereupon installed in the Chappel the Proxy of Dr. Parker Will. Wiggins Clerk President with the usual Oaths which being done they conducted him to the Presidents Lodgings broke open the doors after thrice knocking and gave him possession 25. of Octob. 1687. On the 2. of Nov. following Dr. Parker took possession of them in his own person being then in a sickly condition where he continued to the time of his death
