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.

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.

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.

Barrester and a Counsellor of note being then esteemed eminent not only in the Common but also in the Civil Law by which afterwards he obtained immortal fame among the Citizens of London Besides this his profound knowledge he was admirably well read in Philosophy and the liberal Sciences which made his company desired by Scholars and Clergy He lived always a single Man was an adorer of Chastity and chast Men and shew'd himself generous in his profession to those that stood in need of it for very seldom or never did he take a fee. What he got and what he could spare out of his paternal estate he expended in purchasing Books So that several Years before he died his Library exceeded any one or two that belonged to a Person or Persons of his profession Every night after his business was past he read a Chapter in the Bible to those that belonged to him and the Substance thereof he expounded to them By the doing of which and his interposing himself in matters relating to Religion and the Clergy some R. Catholicks have thought that he halted in his Opinion that is that he was inclined to the way of Hereticks His Writings are many partly written in Latin and partly in English the titles of some of which are these Dialogus de fundamentis Legum Angliae de conscientia Lond. 1528. 1598. 1604. 1613 c. oct This is the Book which is commonly called Doctor and Student being a Dialogue between a Doctor of Div. and a Student in the common Laws of England With the edition of the said Book 1528. I have seen this Book following bound with several Copies of it Principia five maximae Legum Angliae à Gallico illo ut fertur sermone collecta sic in Latinum translata non solum generosis studentibus verum etiam terrarum dominis possessoribus summè necessaria Printted by Rich Lant 24. Dec. 38. Hen. 8. Dom. 1546. in oct Whether this Book which is printed in an English Character as the Dialogue is was compiled by Seintgerman I know not certain I am that the English Copy of Dialogus c. called Doctor and Student c. Printed at Lond. in oct an 1604. contains two Books of Dialogues the first of which hath 32 Chapters whereas the Latin impression of 1528 and 1604. contains but 24 and the second 55 Chapters Among other things that the said Seintgerman hath written are Of the power of the Clergy according to the Law Treatise shewing that the Clergy cannot make Laws Treatise of the Church and the meaning thereof Treatise of the Sacraments thereof Apologie written to Sir Tho. More Dialogue concerning the power which belongs to the Clergy and the power which belongs to the People With several other things which are mention'd in another place At length this worthy Person dying in Sept. the 28 day saith Baleus who falsely adds 1539. in Fifteen hundred and forty year 1540 was buried not far from the Grave of Tho. Lupset in the Church of St. Alphage within Cripplegate in the City of London Which Church was afterwards translated to that Church now called St. Alphage near Sion College In the last will and Testament of the said Seintgerman dated 10. July 32. Hen. 8. Dom. 1540 and proved 30. May 1541. it appears that he was not only a Benefactor to the Church of Shilton before-mention'd but also to that at Laleford Lawford in Warwickshire and to the Church at Cathorp in Leicestershire at which Towns 't is probable he had Lands and Inheritances JOHN PALSGRAVF was born in London and educated in Grammar learning there studied Logic and Philosophy at Cambridge till he was Bach. of Arts. Afterwards he went to Paris where spending several Years also in Philosophical and other learning took the Degree of Master of the said faculty and became so excellent in the French tongue that he was thought fit to be Tutor to the Daughter of K. Hen. 7. called the Lady Mary when she was about to be married to Lewis the 12. K. of France But that King dying soon after the said Palsgrave came with her into England taught the French Language to divers of our young Nobility and became well benefic'd In 1531. he settled in Oxon for a time and the next Year being incorporated Master of the faculty of Arts was in few days after admitted to the reading of the Sentences that is to the Degree of Bach. of Divinity he being then Chaplain to K. Hen. 8. and esteemed the first Author of our Nation or of the French Men that had reduced the French tongue under certain rules and the first in that kind of exercise that did begin to labour as it plainly appears by his most laborious piece intit Lesclarcissement de la Language Francois Lond. 1530. in three Books in a thick fol. Before which the Author hath a large Introduction in English after which follows 1 A table of Substantives 2 A table of Adjectives 3 The Pronoun 4 The Numerals c. I never yet saw but one Copy of this Book which being fill'd with Marginal Notes by whom I know not in a scribling hand was bought by the learned Selden and in his Library at Oxon. I perus'd it The said Joh. Palsgrave hath also written Several Epistles and published a translation of a Book intit Ecphrastes Anglica in comoediam Acolasti Or the Comedy of Acolastus translated into our English tongue after such a manner as Children are taught in the Grammar School first word by word as the Latin lyeth and afterwards according to the sense and meaning of the Latin sentences c. Lond. 1540. in qu. The said Comedy was made by one Will. Fullonius Hagiensis an 1529 and was living when it was put into English by Palsgrave who was in great renown among Men for his Learning in Fifteen hundred and forty which was the two and thirtieth Year of King Hen. 8. LEONARD COX second Son of Laurence Cox by Elizab. his Wife Daugh. of Willey Son of Job Cox of Monmouth was born in Monmouthshire educated in Cambridge till he was Bach. of Arts went to Oxon in 1528. where making some stay for the sake of study was incorporated in the same Degree in the Year following and intending to make a longer stay he supplicated for the Degree of Master of Arts but whether admitted it appears not About the same time he was a Schoolmaster at Reading in Berks. and was there in much esteem when Joh. Fryth the Martyr was taken for a Vagabond and set in the Stocks to whom for his learning and nothing else he shewed singular courtesies as I have already told you in John Fryth Afterwards he travelled into France Germany Poland and Hungary taught there the Tongues and became more eminent in Foreign Countries than at home which Joh. Leland the Antiquarian-Poet seems to intimate in these Verses written to him Inclyta Sarmaticae Cracovia gloria gentis Virtutes novit Coxe diserte
The birth of this most noble Person was as a learned Author reports at Stoverton Castle in Staffordshire or as another who was a Forreigner tells us but false as I presume at London in the Month of March 1500. His education in Grammatical learning was partly in the Carmes House commonly called White Friers in the North suburb of Oxon and his Academical in the Coll. of St. Mary Magdalen where continuing for some time he was admitted to the reading of any of the Logical Books of Aristotle that is to the Degree of Bach. of Arts an 1515. In which year he supplicated the venerable Congregation of Regents that he might wear panni pretiosi and pellurae pretiosae and be admitted to enter into the Library How long he tarried in that Coll. after he had taken his Degree or whether he took the Degree of Master of Arts or a Degree in any other faculty it appears not in our Registers In the Year 1517. March 19. he was made Prebendary of Roscombe in the Church of Salisbury in 1519. Apr. 10. Preb. of Yatminster secunda in the said Church and on the 14 of Feb. 1523 he was admitted Fellow of Corp. Chr. College by command from the founder Which place I presume he never enjoyed being then absent if not happily Dean of Winbourne Minster in Dorsetshire from whence he was promoted to be Dean of Exeter Afterwards his life being chiefly spent in Italy he became by the favour of the Pope Cardinal of St. Nereus and Achilleus afterwards of St. Mary in Cosmedin and at length of St. Prisca was employed also by him in several Embassies to the French King and to the Emperor and lastly after the said Popes death Paul 3. he was in the Conclave of Cardinals chose twice by them to succeed him an 1549. But he upon some account refusing both the elections craved license to depart unto a certain Monastery in the Territory of Verona there to spend the remainder of his days To which place afterwards retiring he exercis'd himself for some years in great devotion and retiredness At length the news of K. Edw. death being brought of him and that Qu. Mary had obtained the Crown he procured of P. Julius 3. license to be sent his Legat into England to reconcile that Nation to the Romish See and the rather for this cause that being not in holy orders tho a Cardinal he might be in a capacity being one of the three that were named to marry the Queen Soon after coming into England the Queen being then married he was elected Chancellour of this University and was made Archb. of Canterbury in the place of Cranmer to which he was consecrated 22. March 1555. being about that time invested with the Temporalities of that See and kept it to his dying day He was a Person of great learning eloquence and judgment of singular piety charity and exemplary life as several Writers tell us who add also that he was an excellent Canonist and well read in the Laws of ecclesiastical polity as may partly be seen in the Books written by him which are these Pro unitate ecclesiastica ad Hen. 8.

Pole had been several years gathering and obtaining from divers learned Persons the various readings emendations castigations c. of Cicero's works with intentions to have published a compleat Copy of them but death seizing on him unexpectedly that good work was stopp'd and what are become of the papers of corrections I know not This great Person who was in an high manner venerated by all Men tho extremely hated by K. Hen. 8. yielded to nature 18. Nov. early in the morning being the very next day that Qu.

This Dr. Rhenniger died rich left a fair Estate some of which laid in Lincolnshire and a Son named Samuel to injoy it In his Archdeaconry of Winchester succeeded Dr. Ranulph Barlow of Cambridge THOMAS SMITH was born of sufficient Parents in a Town called Abendon in Bâ—rkshire educated in Grammar learning there in the Free School founded by Joh. Royse Citizen and Mercer of London an 1563. became a Student of Ch. Ch. in 1570. took the degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated in 78. and six years after was elected one of the Proctors of the University About that time he being esteemed a religious and a discreet Gentleman was made Secretary to that popular Count Robert Earl of Essex who had an especial respect for him So that being thereupon introduced into the Court raised himself meerly by his own merits to considerable eminency as first to be Clerk to the High Court of Parliament afterwards to be one of the Clerks of the Council a Knight in 1603. Secretary of the Latin Tongue and one of the Masters of the Requests 'T is supposed by some and confidently reported by others that are learned that tho he lived not to publish any thing yet several matters he left behind him fit for the Press but of what Subject or Faculty they treat I could never learn He deceased in the prime of his years whereby a stop was given to his father promotion at his house called Parsons Green near to London 28. Nov. in sixteen hundred and nine year 1609 whereupon his body was buried in the Parish Church of Fulham in Middlesex on the 7. of Dec. following Over his grave was soon after erected a comely monument by his disconsolate Widdow Frances the Daughter of William Lord Chandois afterwards the Wife of Thom. Earl of Exeter by whom he had a Son named Robert who was entred a Gent. Com. of Ch. Ch. in Mich. Term an 1620. aged 15. and became an Inheritor for a time several Lands which his Father left to him particularly the Mannor of Barwick upon Tease in Yorks The said Sir Thomas bequeathed a considerable sum of Money to this University to buy books for the new or East part of the Publick Library as also a Mathematical instrument gilt besides 100 l. to the poor of Abenaon for their relief All which was accordingly done and setled by his younger Brother Rich. Smith sometimes a Member of Ch. Ch. also who had been prime Mourner at his Brothers Funeral I find another Sir Tho. Smyth to have been of Bidborough in Kent second Son of Tho. Smith of Ostenhanger in the same County Esq who dying 7. June 1591. was buried in the Church of Ashsord adjoyning Son of John Smith of Corsham in Wilts Gent. Which Sir Thomas who had sarmed the Customs in the Reign of Q. Elizabeth and therefore by some called Customer Smith was so much in favour with K. James that he sent him Embassador to the Emperour of Russia 19. Mar. 1604. From whence returning he was made Governour of the Society of Merchants trading to the East-Indies Musâ—â—ie the French and Summer Islands and Treasurer for the Colonies and Companies of Virginia There goes under this Man's name a book intit Sir Thomas Smith's voyage and entertainment in Russia with the tragical ends of two Emperours and one Empress within one Month during his being there c. Lond. 1605. qu. But him I take not to be the author because it was published unknown to him and without his consent What else I find of him is that his fair and magnificent house at Deptford near to London was burnt on 30. Jan. 1618. and that upon several complaints against him for certain frauds used by him in withdrawing sums of Money in his Rectorship and place of Treasurer before mentioned he was removed from those imployments in Apr. 1619. His eldest Son Sir Joh. Smith married Isabel Daughter of Rob. Earl of Warwick and another the Natural Daughter of Charles Blount Lord Mountjoy without the consent of his Father in Nov. 1618. but in the middle of July following he upon some discontent left England without taking leave of his Father or Wife Besides these two I find another famous Sir Tho. Smith who went before them not only in time but eminence His native place was Saffron-Walden in Essex his Parents John Smith of the same place and Agnes the Daughter and Heir of one Charnock Gent. and the place of Academical education Queens coll in Cambridge where at riper years he was made choice of such was his proficiency in learning to be sent into Italy at the King's charges and there to be educated in certain kinds of learning which our Universities at home could not then yield or rather for the compleat polishing of his parts and studies After his return he became so eminent for his acquired learning that he was not only made the publick Orator of Cambridge but also the King's Professor of the Greek Tongue and at length the King's Professor of the Civil Law in which Faculty he was incorporated Doctor at Cambridge in 1542. and afterwards at Oxon but the particular time when it appears not through the imperfectness of the Registers of that time In the Reign of Ed. 6. he found so much favour with the Duke of Somerset that he was made one of the Secretaries Sir Will. Cecill being the other to that King a Knight Steward of the Stanneries and Dean of Carlile in the place of one Lancelot Salkeld then ejected About the same time also he became Provost of Eaton coll whereof he had very well merited but when Q. Mary came to the Crown she deprived him of those dignities assigning
into England he setled in his native Country but being soon after apprehended was conveyed to London and there kept in prison several weeks At length being condemned to die according to the Statute against Seminaries was executed at Tybourne with George Haddock Tho.

Elizabeth JOHN CARTWRIGHT who seems to have been descended from the Cartwrights of Washbourne in Glocestershire received his Academical education in Magd. coll but whether he took a degree in this University it appears not Afterwards he travelled was as it seems in holy Orders and after his return published these books following The Preachers travels Wherein is set down a true Journal to the confines of the E.

JOHN BOND Bondius a most noted critick in Greek and Latin learning of his time was born in Somersetshire educated in Grammaticals in Wykehams School near Winton became a Student in this University about the nineteenth year of his age an 1569. took a degree in Arts 4 years after being either one of the Clerks or Chaplains of New coll and much noted for his proficiency in Academical learning In 1579. he proceeded in Arts and had soon after the Mastership of the Free-School of Taunton St. Maryâ— Madg. in his own Country conferred on him by the Warden and Society of New coll At which place continuing many years he did exercise such an admirable way of teaching that many departed thence so excellently well grounded in humane learning that they proved afterwards eminent either in Church or State At length being in a manner worn out with the drudgery of a School he did for diversion I cannot say profit practice Physick tho he had taken no degree in that Faculty in this University and became at length Chief Secretary to the Lord Chancellour of England Egerton if one of his admirers may be credited As for his writings which are used by the Juniors of our Universities and in many Free-Schools and more admired and printed beyond the Seas than in England they are these Commentarii in Poemata Q. Horatii Flacci Printed 1606. oct and several times after beyond the Sea and at London Comment in sex Satyras A. Persii Lond. 1614. oct published after the author's death by Rog. Prows who married his Daughter Elizabeth He hath at least written if not published other things but such I have not yet seen He yielded up his last breath on the third of Aug. in sixteen hundred and twelve year 1612 being then possessed of several lands and tenements in Taunton Wilton near Taunton and in Newenton and was buried in the Chancel of the Church at Taunton before-mentioned Over his grave was this Epitaph soon after put Qui Medicus doctus prudentis nomine clarus Eloquii splendor Pieridumque decus Virtutis cultor pietatis vixit amicus Hoc jacet in tumulo spiritus alta tenet The Reader is now to know that there was another John Bond but after the time of the former Son of Dennis Bond of Dorchester in Dorsetshire who having been educated in his youthful years under John White commonly called The Patriarch of Dorchester and from him sucked in most dangerous principles was sent to Cambridge and placed I think in S. Johns coll where he took the degree of Bach. of Civ Law Afterwards he was made a Lecturer in the City of Exeter and carried himself conformable for a season But when the times turned in 1641. and he saw that the Puritan began to be uppermost then did he Preach very seditiously and published what he had said under this title A door of Hope Also holy and loyal activity Two Treatises delivered in several Sermons in Exeter The first on Psal. 126. 1 2. and the other on Exod. 17. 11. Lond. 1641. qu. Both which do contain most scandalous and rebellious stuff besides what he preached in a Serm. in the said City before the Deputy-Lievtenants Lond. 1643. qu. So that having thus began his pranks and shewed himself a zealous Brother for the Cause and a rank Covenanteer he was made Preacher or Minister of the Savoy in the Strand near London in the place of Joh. White before-mentioned when he passed over the water to Lambeth to take possession of the Rectory there belonging to Dr. Dan. Featly one of the Assembly of Divines and about that time Doctor of the Laws This J. Bond by the way you must know being scarce warm in the Pulpit but he began to threaten Heaven with some of his Divinity by telling the auditory with great zeal that they ought to contribute and pray and do all they were able to bring in their Brethren of Scotland for the setling of Gods Cause I say this is Gods Cause and if ever God had any Cause this is it and if this be not Gods Cause then God is no God for me but the Devil is got up into Heaven c. About the same time he became a frequent Preacher before the Long-Parliament and hath 3 or more Sermons preached before the Members thereof published as 1 Salvation in a mystery c. on Jer. 45. 25. Lond. 1644. qu. It was a Fast Serm. pr. before the H. of Commons 27. Mar. 1644. 2 Ortus occidentalis or a dawning in the West c. on Isa. 25. 9. Lond. 1645. qu. 'T was a Thanksgiving Serm. for the Parliament Forces their gaining of Bathe Bridgwater Sherbourne Castle c. preached before the H. of Commons 22. Aug. 1645. and on the eleventh of Dec. following the said Jo. Bond was made Master of the Hospital called the Savoy under the great Seal 3 A Thanksgiving Serm. before the H. of Com. on Psal. 50. 23. Lond. 1648. qu. preached on the 19. Jul. 1648. In which year he had a Serm. published intit Grapes among Thornes preached before the H. of Commons In all which Sermons as in others which he delivered in London and Westminster are contained many strange positions rebellious doctrines religious cantings and I know not what About that time he was made Master of Trinity hall in Cambridge which Mr. Jo. Selden refused and in 1654. he was made an assistant to the Commissioners of Middlesex and Westminster for the ejection of such whom they then called scandalous and ignorant Ministers and Schoolmasters These things I thought
before the Doctors Masters and Scholars of the University Which being done the body was conveyed thence to St. Aldates Church near to the hall of Broadgates and there in the Chancel was interred on the 14. of the same month In the Professorship of the Civil Law succeeded Dr. Rich. Zouch and in the Principality of Broadgates Dr. Tho. Clayton SAMUEL SMITH a Gentleman's Son was born in Lincolnshire entred a Commoner in Magd. coll in Michaelmas Term 1604 aged 17. became Fellow of Magd. coll 1609. Proctor of the University in 1620. being then Bach. of Physick and accounted the most accurate Disputant and profound Philosopher in the University He wrote divers things pertaining to Logick and Philosophy but none of them were printed only Aditus ad Logicam in usum eorum qui primò Academiam salutant Oxon. 1613. 21. 27. 33. 39. c. oct He died much lamented 17. June according as he himself had foretold it some weeks before he died year 1620 in sixteen hundred and twenty being then newly entred on his Proctorship and was buried in Magd. coll Chappel I find another Sam. Smith equal in time with the former a frequent Preacher and Writer who living many years after is not to have a place among these writers till the year 1663. GRIFFITH POWELL a younger Son of Tho. Powell of Lansawell in Caermarthenshire Esq was born there entred a Commoner of Jesus coll 1581. aged 20. became the first Fellow of the said coll by election took the degrees in Arts and one in the Civil Law and at length after some controversies had passed was setled Principal of his College in 1613. being then accounted by all a most noted Philosopher or subtile Disputant and one that acted and drudged much as a Tutor Moderator and Adviser in studies among the Juniors He hath transmitted to Posterity Analysis Analyticorum posteriorum seu librorum Aristotelis de Demonstratione cum Scholiis Oxon. 1594. oct Analysis libri Aristot de Sophisticis Elenchis Ox. 1594. and 1664. oct Concerning which two books these verses were made Griffith Powell for the Honour of her Nation Wrote a Book of Demonstration And having little else to doe He wrote a Book of Elenchs too He also wrote several other matters of Philosophy which would have been very useful for Novices but the author being taken up too much with his charge he could not spare time to put them in order for the Press much less to publish them He paid his last debt to nature 28. June in sixteen hundred and twenty year 1620 and was buried in the Church of St. Michael in Jesus coll Isle I think near to the North Gate of the City of Oxon. By his nuncupatory Will he left all his Estate to that Coll. amounting to 648 l. 17 s. 2 d. with which and certain Monies were Lands purchased for the maintenance of one Fellow of the said Coll. RICHARD CAREW the Son of Tho. Carew by Elizab. Edgcombe his Wife was born of an ancient and gentile Family at East Anthony in the East parts of Cornwall an 1555. became a Gent. Com. of Ch. Ch. very young but had his Chamber in Broadgates hall much about the time that his Kinsman George Carew afterwards E. of Totness and Will Camden studied there At 14 years of age he disputed ex tempore with the matchless Philip Sidney while he was a young Man I suppose in the presence of the Earls of Leicester Warwick and other Nobility at what time they were lodged in Ch. Ch. to receive entertainment from the Muses After he had spent 3 years in Oxon he retired to the Middle Temple where he spent 3 years more and then was sent with his Unkle in his Embassage unto the King of Poland whom when he came to Danizig he found that he had been newly gone from thence into Sweden whither also he went after him After his return and a short stay made in England he was sent by his Father into France with Sir Hen. Nevill who was then Embassadour Leiger unto K. Hen. 4. that he might learn the French tongue which by reading and talking he overcame in three quarters of an year Some time after his return he married Juliana Arundell of Trerice an 1577. was made Justice of the Peace 1581. High-Sheriff of Cornwall 1586. and about that time was the Kings Deputy for the Militia In 1598. he was elected a Member of the Coll. of Antiquaries and about that time he made an historical survey of his native County which was afterwards printed he being then accounted a religious and ingenious Man learned eloquent liberal stout honest and well skill'd in several Languages as also among his Neighbours the greatest Husband and most excellent manager of Bees in Cornwall He was intimate with the most noted Scholars of his time particularly with Sir Hen Spelman who in an Epistle to him concerning tithes doth not a little extol him for his ingenuity vertue and learning Palmam igitur cedo saith he quod Graeci olim in Cariâ sua gente admirati sunt nos in Cariâ nostra gente agnoscimus ingenium splendidum bellarumque intentionum faecundissimum c. Further also for the book he wrote and published intit The Survey of Cornwall c. Lond. 1602. qu. the learned Camden is pleased to honour him with this character Sed haec c. But more plainly and fully instructed are we in these points by Rich. Carew of Anthony a Gentleman innobled no less in regard of his parentage and descent than for his vertue and learning who hath published and perfected the description of this County Cornwall more at large and not in a slight and mean manner whom I must needs acknowledge to have given me much light herein Our author Carew hath also written The true and ready way to learn the Lat. tongue in answer to a Quere whether the ordinary way by teaching Latin by the rules of Grammar be the best way for youths to learn it This is involved in a book published by a Dutch-man called Sam. Hartlib Esq intit The true and ready way to learn the Lat. tongue c. Lond. 1654. qu. Our author Carew translated also from Italian into the English tongue The examination of Mens Witts In which by discovering the variety of Natures is shewed for what profession each one is apt and how far he shall profit therein Lond. 1594. and 1604. qu. written by Joh. Huarte But this translation as I have been informed by some persons was mostly if not all performed by Tho. Carew his Father yet Richard's name is set to it He died on the sixth day of Nov. in sixteen hundred and twenty year 1620 and was buried in the Church of East-Anthony among his Ancestors Shortly after he had a splendid Monument set over his grave with an inscription thereon written in the Latin tongue which being too large for this place I shall now omit as also the Epigram made on him by
title Of Law or a discourse thereof in 4 books Lond. 1627. 36. 61. c. oct From the said book is mostly extracted another intit A summary of the Common Law of England Lond. 1654. oct done by another hand Our author Finch also wrote Of the calling of the Jews By which book it appears that the studies of the author were not altogether confin'd to the Common Law But his judgment therein as to the subject matter dissenting from the opinions of ingenious persons yet they cannot otherwise but allow him to have learnedly maintained an Errour He departed this life on the eleventh day of Octob. in sixteen hundred twenty and five year 1625 and was buried as I conceive in St. Martins Church near Canterbury leaving then behind him a Son begotten on the body of his Wife Vrsula Daughter and Heir of Will. Thwayts called John Finch born the 17. Sept. 1584. educated in the Common Law in Greys Inn afterwards a Knight Lord Keeper of the Great Seal and Lord Finch of Fordwyche forced out of England by the severity of the Members of the Long Parliament an 1640. had leave afterwards to return and lived privately at the Mote near Canterbury and dying the 20. Nov. an 1660. was buried in the Church of S. Martin before-mentioned This John Lord Finch who had a younger Brother called Henry seems to have had some considerable knowledge in Mathematicks and Astronomy as it appears by a Manuale Mathematicum curiously written on Velom with his own hand preserved to this day as a rarity in Dugdale's Press among the MSS in the Ashmolean Musaeum RICHARD FOWNS a Ministers Son and a Worcestershire man born was elected Student of Ch. Ch. 1577. aged 17. took the degrees in Arts became Chaplain to Prince Henry Bach. and D of D. 1605. and about that time Rector of Stoke upon Severn commonly called Severnstoke in his own Country He hath written Trisagion or the three Offices of Christ Lond. 1619. qu. He was buried in the Church of Severnstoke 25. Nov. in sixteen hundred twenty and five year 1625 and soon after was put a Mon. over his grave with an inscription thereon but so miserably defaced in the Civil War that brake out 17 years after that 't is not now as I have been informed legible otherwise I should have given you a copy of it here A Latin Sermon of one Rich. Fowns preached on 2 Thess 2. 34. was published in 1660. but whether preached by our author or another of both his names I cannot tell because I have not yet seen it CHRISTOPHER BAGSHAW was originally descended from the Bagshaws living at Ridge or Abney in Derbyshire but the name of the place wherein he received his first breath I cannot yet find In 1572 he was by the endeavours of Rob. 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. Edmonds alias Weston a Jesuit began to shew his tricks and then that Party and those Lay-persons that favoured them would condemn Bagshaw as a man of no worth unruly disordered and a disobedient person not to be favoured or respected by any c. Afterwards being freed from that prison he went beyond Sea again where he ended his days He hath written An answer to certain points of a Libel called An Apology of the Subordination in England Par. 1603. oct He had a considerable hand also in writing a book intit Declaratio motuum ac turbationum inter Jesuitas Sacerdotes Seminariorum in Anglia Rothomag 1601. in qu. Set out under the name of one Joh. Mush a Yorkshire man born and a learned Priest who engaged himself much in composing the differences that happened among the Priests and Jesuits in Wisbich Castle Dr. Bagshaw had also a hand in A true relation of the Faction began at Wisbich by Father Edmunds alias Weston a Jesuit 1595 and continued since by Father Walley alias Garnet the Provincial of the Jesuits in England and by Fa. Persons in Rome Printed 1601. qu. This Dr. Bagshaw died and was buried at Paris after the year sixteen hundred twenty and five as I have been informed by Franc. Ã Sancta Clara who remembered and knew the Doctor well but had forgotten the exact time of his death JOHN GEE the Son of a Minister of Devon but whether of John or George Gee whom I have before mentioned in Edw. Gee under the year 1618. I cannot justly say was entred into Brasnose coll in 1613. aged 16. where making no long stay he entred himself a Batler among his Countrymen of Exeter college and having holy Orders confer'd on him after he had taken one degree in Arts became beneficed at Newton near to Winwick in Lancashire of which last place Mr. Josias Horne being then Parson Gee had oftentimes several conferences with him concerning matters of Religion but they savouring much of a mind inclining to Popery Mr. Horne and the neighbouring Ministers concluded among themselves that he had changed his Religion before he had left that place Thence taking his rambles he retired to London and became acquainted with the noted persons of the R. Cath. Perswasion that then lived there But at length being moved to leave them and his opinions newly embraced by the urgent letters of his Father and by the valid reasons concerning the vanity as he term'd
it of that Religion by Dr. Abbot Archb. of Canterbury who sent for him upon notice received that he had been at the doleful Even-song in the Black-Friers in London 26. Oct. 1623. became a bitter Enemy to the Romanists and studied to do them what mischief he could by these books following The Foot out of the Snare with a detection of sundry late practices and impostures of the Priests and Jesuits in England c. Lond. 1624. qu. A gentle excuse to Mr. Greg. Musket for stiling him Jesuit These two which go and are joyned together were printed four times in the said year 1624. because all the copies or most of them were bought up by R. Catholicks before they were dispersed for fear their lodgings and so consequently themselves should be found out and discovered by the catalogues of all such Priests Jesuits Popish Physicians Chyrurgions c. with the names of the streets lanes c. in London where they mostly lived which were printed at the end of the Gentle Excuse before-mentioned Our author Gee hath also written and published Hold fast Sermon at Pauls Cross on Rev. 3. 11.

Lond. 1624. qâ— For the publishing of which books and for his mutability of mind he was very much blamed by both parties especially by those of the Rom. perswasion as I have been several times informed by a grave Bach. of Div. 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. Vniv. Oxon. He was afterwards beneficed at Tenterden in Kent where he died and was buried but when I cannot yet tell leaving then behind him a young Brother named Orlando Gee afterwards a Knight One Joh. Gee was Minister of Dunsford in Devon who died about the beginning of 1631. leaving a Relict behind him called Sarah Which Joh. Gee was perhaps Father to the aforesaid Joh. Gee the writer Qu. 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. Elizabeth he employed his studies on a more noble subject which being finished he published it under this title A restitution of decayed intelligence in antiquities concerning the most noble and renowned English Nation Antw. 1605. qu. Before which Rich. Whyte of Basingstoke and Rich. Stanyhurst whom I have elsewhere mentioned have commendatory verses In this book are several
cuts engraven from the representations drawn with great curiosity by him which hath advantaged the sale of it much And I am verily perswaded had the said book been published two years before I mean before the first edition of Camdens Remaines which first saw light in 1604. it would have been more cried up and consequently would have sold more But however so it is that the book hath been so much valued by learned and curious men in times following that a second impression of it was made at Lond. 1653. in large oct and another in 1674. oct He hath also written The sundry successive regal governments of the Realm of England Antw. 1620. printed in one long sheet wherein are the pictures of a Britain Roman Saxon Dane and Norman wrought off from a Copper plate And was the same person without doubt with him who writes himself R.

Monutague promoted to the See of Bath and Wells and at length Bishop of those Cities to which he was consecrated at Lambeth 8. Dec. 1616. In all these places of honour and employment he carried himself the same in mind and person shewing by his constancy that his virtues were virtues indeed in all kind of which whether natural moral Theological personal or pastoral he was eminent and indeed one of the examples of his time He always lived a single man exemplary in his life and conversation and very hospitable He was also well read in the Fathers and Schoolmen and had such a command of the Scripture which made him one of the best preachers that few went beyond him in his time The things that he hath written were not by him published but by his Friends after his death the titles of which follow Exposition of the first Psalm Exposition of the 51.

Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon was born in Devon but originally descended from the Carews of Carew Castle in Pembrokshire became a Gent. Commoner of Broadgates hall in 1572. aged 15. About which time two of his Sirname studied in Vniversity coll which hath given occasion many years after to some of the Fellows of that house particularly to Dr. Joh. Browne to take one of them to be this George Carew whom we are farther to mention Howsoever it is or whether he studied in both houses successively I shall not now dispute it Sure I am that he was of Broadgates and that being more delighted in Martial Affairs than in the solitary delights of a study he left the University without a degree went into Ireland and there had a command given him against that noted Rebel the Earl of Desmond Afterwards his merits being made known to Q. Eliz. she thereupon made him one of her Council and Master of the Ordnance there In which last employment he behav'd himself with great renown in various expeditions as some years after he did in the Voyage to Cadiz in Spain In 1589. he was actually created M. of A. with other persons of quality he being then a Knight At length when all Ireland was in a manner invaded with a domestick Rebellion and a Spanish Army he was made President of Munster for 3 years where joyning his Forces with those of the Earl of Thomond he took divers Castles and strong Holds in those parts and brought the titular Earl of Desmond one of the most active Rebels there to his tryal After K. James came to the Crown he was called home and in the first year of his Raign he was constituted Governour of the Isle of Guernsey and Castle Cornet In the third year of that Kings Reign he was advanced to the degree and dignity of a Baron by the title of the Lord Carew of Clopton having before married Joyce the Daughter and Coheir of Will. Clepton of Clopton near Stratford upon Avon in Warwicksh Esque Afterwards he was made Vicechamberlain and Treasurer to Q. Anne Master of the Ordnance throughout England and of the Privy Council to the King At length when Charles came to the Crown he was made by him in the first year of his Reign Earl of Totness in Devonshire as being then a faithful Subject a valiant and prudent Commander an honest Counsellour a gentile Scholar a lover of Antiquities and a great Patron of learning He wrote a book intit Pacata Hibernia Or the History of the late Wars in Ireland Lond. 1633. fol. with his picture before and these verses under it Talis crat vultu sed linguâ mente manuque Qualis crat qui vult dicere scripta legat Consulat aut famam qui linguâ mente manuve Vincere hunc fama judice rarus erat Of which History containing three years transactions in Munster the said Earls actions G. Carew are not the least part It was while he lived reserved first for his own private satisfaction secondly preserved for the furtherance of a general history of the Kingdom of Ireland when some industrious writer should undertake a compleat description of those Affairs And lastly out of his own retired modesty it was by him held back from the stage of publication lest himself being a principal Actor in many of the particulars might be perhaps thought to give vent and utterance to his private merit and services however justly memorable After his death it came into the hands of his faithful and trusty Servant or rather his natural Son called Tho. Stafford by whom it being first offer'd to the view and censure of divers learned and judicious persons was at length published This is that Thom Stafford who was Master of many choice Originals of Charters of English Nobility written in the time of Hen. 2. mostly containing conveyances and gifts of Lands to Religious Houses which I presume he had by the gift of his aforesaid Master the Earl of Totness But when Stafford died they came into the hands of Sir Simonds D'ewes Bt. Besides Pacata Hibernia our author Carew hath in four large volumes collected several Chronologies Charters Letters Muniments and other materials belonging to Ireland Which as choice rarities are at this day reserved in the Bodleian Library He also made several collections notes and extracts for the writing of the History of the Reign of K. Hen. 5. which were remitted into the History of Great Britain c. published by Joh. Speed In which History were also remitted most if not all of the Lord Viscount S. Albans Hist of Hen. 7. the notes and collections of Sir Rob. Cotton concerning the Reign of K. Hen. 8. notes and collections of Sir Hen. Spelman for another King the life of K. John by Dr. Jo. Barcham and the notes of Edm. Bolton concerning K. Hen. 2. As for Speeds part in the said History of Gr. Britain it is such for stile and industry that for one who as Martial speaks had neither a Graecum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nor an Ave Latinum is perhaps without many Fellows in Europe So much also have I understood of him by sure information that he had no meaning in that labour to prevent great practick learnedness but to furnish it for the common service of Englands Glory As for our author Carew Earl of Totness he ended his days in the Savoy situated in the Strand near London year 1629 27. Mar. in sixteen hundred twenty and nine aged 73. and 10 months Whereupon his body was conveyed to Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire and was inter'd at the upper end of an Isle joyning on the North side to the body of the Church there Over his grave was soon after a stately monument erected with a large inscription thereon which for brevity sake I now pass by and desire the Reader to observe that there was one Tho. Carve who writes himself of Mobernan in the County of Tipperary in Ireland a Priest and Apostolick Notary who in the year of his age 70. Dom. 1660. wrote a book intit Lyra sive Anacephalaeosis Hibernica in qua de exordio sive origine nomine moribus ritibusque gentis Hibernicae succinctè tractatur Sulsbaci 1666. 2d edit qu. But this Tho. Carve who lived at Vienna in Germany in the Court of the reverend Curats and Levites belonging to the Cath. Church of St. Stephen there to the year 1664. and after is not to be understood as some have done to be the same with Tho. Carue or any thing of kin to Geor. Carew before mention'd or that he was beholding to Pacata Hibernia when he composed his book or to his MS. collections as I can yet perceive Besides the aforesaid George Carew was another of both his names a native of Cornwall who having benefited himself much in this University and afterwards in the Inns of Court and in travelling beyond the Seas was at his return called to the Barr. Soon
