in many rhetorical strains bitterly scolded against his quondam Fellow Covenantiers he hath this angry and uncharitable passage That the projects of Presbyterians have froth in their heads and blood in their bottom as the water of those men that labour with the Stone and Strangury and have their wounds from within It pleased God within a few days after the publishing of this book to smite the Bishop with that tormenting distemper which he there makes use of to set off his false and scandalous impeachment of so considerable a part of the most conscientious and peaceable people in the Land He lay in a very great extremity of torture and by reason of the stopping of his water his life was in great hazard and so was forced to send for a Chyrurgeon who by making use of his Probe did help him to make water which was froth at the top and blood at the bottom And that the Lord might make him more sensible of it he repeated the stroke a second time after the same manner as we have been credibly informed from very eminent and considerable persons We could heartily wish that there were now alive another Mr. Rogers of Wethersfield who would deal effectually with the conscience of this proud Prelate that he might be blessed with a more sanctified use of the hand of the Lord in the visitation of the Strangury then of his broken leg in the former times c.

What the disease was which took him out of this mortal life I know not Neither dare I say says one for all the world that the disease that befell him and of which he died befell him for his fierceness against the Presbyterians and it was the very disease unto which he had compar'd the Presbyterians sermons and it befell him not long after he had made that odious comparison c.

Scarborough then an ingenious young Student and Fellow of Caies Coll. in the same University was his great acquaintance and both being equally Students in that faculty and desirous to perfect themselves they took a journey to Mr. Will. Oughtred living then at Albury in Surrey to be informed of many things in his Clavis Mathematica which seemed at that time very obscure to them Mr. Oughtred treated them with great humanity being very much pleased to see such ingenious young men apply themselves to those studies and in short time he sent them away well satisfied in their desires When they returned to Cambridge they afterwards read the Clav. Math. to their Pupils which was the first time that that book was read in the said University Mr. Laur. Rook a disciple of Oughtred I think and Mr. Ward 's friend did admirably well read in Gresham Coll. on the sixth Chapt. of the said book which obtained him great repute from some and greater from Mr. Ward who ever after had an especial favour for him In 1643 he with the Master and several of his Coll. were for the Kings Cause imprison'd in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge and ejected from their several places much about which time he and Mr. P. Gunning Mr. Is Barrow Mr. Jo. Barwick c. did write a well pen'd treatise against the Covenant which was made publick After his release he was civilly and kindly received by his friend and neighbour Ralph Freeman of Aspden in Hertfordshire Esq and upon the ceasing of the Civil War he was entertained in the quality of a Chaplain to Thomas Lord Wenman of Thame Park in Oxfordshire In 1649 his mind being then changed as to orthodox Principles he by friends made to the Committee for the reformation of the University of Oxon became Astronomy Professor thereof in the place of Mr. Joh. Greaves then ejected who upon an infallible foresight that he should be turn'd out put Ward upon to gain it because he would be sure as far as his power laid to get an able Successor and about that time he entred himself a Gentleman Commoner in Wadham Coll for the sake of VVilkins then Warden of that House In Oct. the same year he was incorporated Master of Arts and admitted to his Professorship and soon after took the Independent Oath called the Engagement the effect of which was to be faithful to the Commonwealth of England as it was then established without a King or House of Lords In 1654 he proceeded D. of D. in which year Mr. Joh. Wallis the other Savilian Professor proceeding also fell out a Controversie between them occasion'd by Wallis who should have seniority which being decided by the Vicechanc. on VVards behalf VVallis went out grand Compounder and so got superiority as I shall largely tell you in the Fasti of that year In 1656 or thereabouts he obtained of Dr. Brownrigg the silenc'd Bishop of Exeter the Chantorship of that Church then void and in the year following gaining an interest among the Fellows of Jesus Coll. he was elected by them to be their Principal upon the resignation of Dr. Mich. Roberts but Franc. Howell of Exeter Coll. an Independent got it from him by his interest used to Oliver the Protector In 1659 he was elected President of Trin. Coll. by a majority of Fellows made by the interest of Dr. Ralph Bashurst but being soon after forced to leave that place to make room for the right owner Dr. Han. Potter who had in a most woful manner endured great hardship from the time of his ejection in 1648 the Politician retired to the great City where he became Minister of S. Lawrence in the Jewry upon the promotion of Reynolds to Norwich and in the same year 1660 he was installed in his place of Chantor of Exeter At that time it was his endeavours to make his Loyalty known by being imprison'd at Cambridge by his ejection his writing against the Covenant and I know not what About that time he became a member of the Royal Society and soon after Dean of Exeter where being setled he wound himself in a short time by his smooth language and behaviour into the favour of the Gentry of the neighbourhood In 1662 Dr. Gauden Bishop of Exeter being translated to VVorcester he was by the endeavours of a considerable party of the Gentry of Devonsh who were of the H. of Commons advanced to that See And being consecrated thereunto 20 July 1662 sate there but few years for on the death of Dr. Hyde he was translated to Salisbury 12 Sept. 1667. In 1671. Nov. 25 he was made Chancellour of the most noble Order of the Garter by the restitution of K. Ch. 2 after that place had been occupied by Lay-persons about 154 years He was a benefactor to the Royal Society gave a Pendulum Clock thereunto which goes for a week together to perpetuate the memory of his dear and learned friend Laur. Rook. Also about 1672 he gave a considerable sum of money towards the making of the River at Salisbury navigable to Christ Church in Hampshire and in 1679 he bestowed a 1000 l. on Sid●ey Coll. in Cambridge In 1683 he built an Hospital or College at Salisbury for the entertainment of ten poor widows of Ministers of Gods word and in 1684 he built an Alms-house at the place of his nativity for four antient men and four antient women who had lived handsomely and brought by misfortune to poverty c.

F. a book called Virtus rediviva A Panegyrick on the late King Charles the first of ever blessed memory attended with several ingenious pieces from the same pen. Whether Thom. Flatman was th● author of these Poems I cannot justly tell because they are not among his Songs and Poems In the next year was published a piece in prose intit Don Juan Lamberto or a comical history of the late times with a wooden cut before it containing the pictures of Giant Desborough with a great club in his right hand and of Lambert both leading under the arms the meek Knight i. e.
