His life as it deserved well of all so it was covetous of no Man's commendation himself being as far from pride as his desert was near it He lived constantly in the University 10 years in which time he learned eight Languages watched often daily exercised always studied insomuch that he made an end of himself in an over fervent desire to benefit others And tho he had out of himself sweat all his Oyl for his Lamp and had laid the Sun a-bed by his labours yet he never durst adventure to do that after all these studies done and ended which our young Novices doing nothing count nothing to do but still thought himself as unfit as he knew all men were unworthy of so high an Honour as to be the Angels of God And since in him so great examples of piety knowledge industry and unaffected modesty have been long since fallen asleep there is no other way left but to commend the titles of his Monuments to posterity which are these The young Divines Apology for his continuance in the University Meditations on the Sacred Calling of the Ministry Comment or Meditation on the first seven Penitential Psalms of David His daily Sacrifice All which were printed at Cambridge an 1612. and the two first at Oxon. 1658. oct He died in the prime of his years to the great grief of those who well knew his piety and admirable parts about the year sixteen hundred and ten year 1610 but where buried unless in the Cath. of Ch.

Austins Church there but of what kin he was to the former I know not NICHOLAS HILL a native of the City of London was educated in Grammaticals in Merchant-Taylors School in Academicals in St. Johns coll of which he became Scholar in 1587. and in that of his age 17. In 1592. he took a degree in Arts being then Fellow of that house left it before he proceeded in that Faculty and applying himself to the study of the Lullian doctrine became most eminent in it About that time he was a great favourite of Edward the poetical 〈…〉 of Oxford spent some time with him while 〈◊〉 co●●umed his Estate beyond the Sea and at home After that count's death or rather before he was taken into the re●●●ue of that most noble and generous person Henry 〈◊〉 of Northumberland with whom he conti●ued for some time in great esteem At length being suspected to comply with certain Traytors against K.

Some of which coming into the hands of William Backhouse of Swallowfield in Berks. Esq from the Widdow of the said Nich. Hill living behind Bow Church in London about 1636. various copies were taken of them and Edm. Earl of Mulgrave about that time having a copy another was taken thence by one Dr. Joh. Everard part of which I have seen under another hand This is all of truth that I know of Nich. Hill only that his name is mentioned by Ben. Johnson thus Those Atomi ridiculous Whereof old Democrite and Hill Nicholis One said the other swore the World consists There are several traditions going from Man to Man concerning this Nich. Hill one of which is this that while he was Secretary to the Earl of Oxford before-mentioned he among other accompts brought in this to him Item for making a man 10l 0 0. Which he being required to explain by the Count he said he had meerly out of charity given that summ to a poor man who had several times told him that ten pounds would make him a man Another is this which I had from Dr. Joseph Maynard sometimes Rector of Exeter coll younger Brother to Sir Joh. Maynard Serjeant at Law who had it from Mr. Rob. Hues author of the book De Globis an intimate acquaintance of Hill while he continued in Oxon in his last days that is to say That he was one of those learned men who lived with the Earl of Northumberland that he fell into a Conspiracy with one Basset who pretended some right to the Crown Vpon which he was forced to fly into Holland where he setled at Roterdam with his Son Laurence and practiced Physick At length his said Son dying there of the Plague did so much afflict him that he went into an Apothecaries shop swallowed poyson and died in the place c. which by several is supposed to be about sixteen hundred and ten year 1610 But leaving these reports to such that delight in them and are apt to snap at any thing to please themselves I shall only say that our author Hill was a person of good parts but humorous that he had a peculiar and affected way different from others in his writings that he entertained fantastical notions in Philosophy and that as he had lived most of his time in the Romish Perswasion so he died but cannot be convinced that he should die the death of a Fool or a Madman WILLIAM GAGER was
