Sir Rich. Lane Knight Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer was then actually created Doctor of the Civ Law with more than ordinary ceremony This worthy person who was the Son of Rich. Lane of Courtenhall in Northamptonshire by Elizabeth his Wife Daughter of Clem. Vincent of Harpole in the said County was educated from his youth in the study of the Com. Law in the Middle Temple where he made great proficiency beyond his contemporaries was called to the Bar and became a Counsellour of note In the 5. of Char. 1. he was elected Lent Reader of his Inn but did not read because of the pestilence and when the Long Parliament began he was so much esteemed for his great knowledge in the Law that the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford made use of him to manage his cause when he was tried for high treason in the latter end of 1640. Soon after he was made Attorney to Prince Charles at which time seeing what strange courses the members of Parliament took when the King had given them leave to sit he entrusted his intimate friend Bulstrode Whitlock a Counsellour of the Middle Temple with his Chamber there all his goods therein and an excellent Library and forthwith leaving London he retired to the King at Oxon where in 1643 he was made Serjeant at Law Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer a Knight on the 4 of Jan. the same year and about the same time one of his Majesties honourable Privy Council In the latter end of the next year he was nominated one of the Commissioners by his Maj. to treat of Peace with those of the Parliament at Vxbridge and on the 30 of Aug. 1645 he had the Great Seal delivered to him at Oxon on the death of Edward Lord Littleton In May and June 1646 he was one of the prime Commissioners to treat with those appointed by Parliament for the surrender of the Garrison of Oxon and soon after conveyed himself beyond the Sea to avoid the barbarities of the Parliament In his absence his Son was conducted to the said B. Whitlock then in his greatness to the end that the said goods of his Father then in his possession might be delivered to him for the use of his said Father who then wanted them but Whitlock would not own that he ever knew such a Man as Sir Richard and therefore he kept what he had of his to the great loss of him the said Sir Richard who died as a certain author tells us in the Isle of Jersey before the month of Aug. 1650 but false as I presume because that on the 22 of Apr. 1651 a Commission issued forth from the Prerogative Court to the Lady Margaret his Relict to administer the goods chattels and debts of him the said Sir Richard late of Kingsthorp in Northamptonshire who died in the Kingdom of France This Sir Rich. Lane who was an eminent Professor of the Law hath written Reports in the Court of Exchecquer beginning in the third and ending in then ninth of K James 1. Lond. 1657 fol. On the 29 of Jan. 1657 the Great Seal was delivered by his Majesty at Bruges in Flanders to Sir Edw. Hyde Knight Sir John Glanvill Kt Serjeant at Law was created the same day Jan. 31. and admitted in the house of Congregation and Convocation as Sir Rich. Lane was This Sir John was a younger Son of John Glanvill of Tavistock in Devonshire one of the Justices of the Common Bench who died 27 July 1600 and he the third Son of another John of the same place where and in that County their name was gentile and antient When he was young he was not educated in this University but was as his Father before him bred an Attorney and afterwards studied the Common Law in Lincolns Inn and with the help of his Fathers notes became a great proficient When he was a Counsellour of some years standing he was elected Recorder of Plymouth and Burgess for that place to serve in several Parliaments In the 5. of Char. 1. he was Lent Reader of his Inn and on the 20 of May 1639 he was made Serjeant at Law at which time having engaged himself to be a better Servant to the King than formerly for in several Parliaments he had been an enemy to the Prerogative he was in the year following elected Speaker for that Parliament which began at Westm on the 13 of April in which he shew'd himself active to promote the Kings desires On the 6 of July the same year he
latter end of 1617 and in that of his age 16 or thereabouts took the degr in Arts holy orders and became a most florid Preacher in the University In 1629 he was chosen the public Orator of the University being then one of the Proctors of it and two years after was admitted to the reading of the Sentences In 1638. Jul. 1. he was installed Canon of Ch. Ch. and in the same month proceeded D. of Div before which time K. Ch. 1. had setled a Canonry of the said Church upon him that should be lawfully elected public Orator but that pious Act hath been since annul'd by pretended Authority and now such a thing seems totally to be forgotten among us As for Strode he was a person of great parts but not equal to those of Cartwright a pithy and sententious Preacher exquisite Orator and an eminent Poet. He hath written Passions calmed Or the setling of the floating Island Lond. 1655. qu. 'T is a comedy and was publickly acted before the K. and Q. in Ch. Ch. Hall 29 Aug. 1636. Speech made to Qu.

Ch. in Oxon. I have seen several of his Poems that have had musical Compositions of two and three parts set to be sung by the incomparable Mr. Hen.

Afterwards setling in the Temple without compleating that degree by Determination was made a Barrester but his natural genie leading him to the studies of Heraldry Genealogies and Antiquities he became excellent in those obscure and intricate matters and look upon him as a Gentleman was accounted by all that knew him to be the best of his time for those studies as it may appear by a book that he published intit The description of Leycestershire c. Lond. 1622. fol. Soon after the Author did very much enlarge and enrich'd it with Roman Saxon and other Antiquities as by his letter dated 9 June 1627 written to Sir Rob.

Upon the coming out of the sec part of the Hist of Independency the Author being discover'd by Cromwell was committed Prisoner to the Tower of London 13 Nov. 1649 where having got allowance of pen ink and paper he wrot the third part of that history He gave way to fate there to the great grief of the Presbyterian Party in the month of Octob. in sixteen hundred fifty and one whereupon his body was conveyed to the Church of Allhallowes Barkin near to the said Tower and there buried as I have been informed by his said son John Walker The next Writer that must follow according to time was the greatest Royalist in the age he lived and a person much reverenced by those who knew his Vertues and Piety RICHARD STEUART was born of a gentile family in Northamptonshire at Patishul I think became a Commoner of Magd. Hall in 1608 aged 14 or thereabouts elected Fellow of All 's Coll. in 1613 being then Bach. of Arts proceeded in his Faculty studied the Civil Law for a time and took one degree therein In 1624 he proceeded in the said Faculty and in 1628 he was made Preb. of Worcester on the death of Rich. Potter Bach. of Div. About the beginning of March 1629 he had the Prebendship of North Aulton in the Church of Sarum confer'd upon him and about that time was made Chapl. in ord to his Majesty In 1634 he became Dean of Chichester in the place of Dr. Franc. d ee promoted to the See of Peterborough and soon after Clerk of the Closet in the room of Dr. Math. Wren and Prebendary of Westminster in his place an 1638. In which year he resigned his Prebendship of Worcester and was succeeded therein by Will. Smith D. D. Warden of Wadham Coll. About the same time he was made Dean of S. Pauls Cathedral and in Dec. or Jan. 1639 Provost of Eaton Coll. in the room of Sir Hen. Wotton deceased He was also at the same time Dean of the Chappel Royal and when Dr Williams Bishop of Linc. who kept the Deanery of Westminster in commendam with that See was translated to York he was made Dean of that Collegiat Church not in 164â— but in 1645. While he remained in the University he was accounted a good Poet and Orator and after he had left it a noted Divine eloquent Preacher and a person of a smart fluent stile In the beginning of the Rebellion he suffer'd much for the Kings cause lost all and at length retiring to France became a great Champion for the Protestant cause at Paris where at le Hostle de Blinville he preached an excellent sermon of the English case or Hezekiahs reformation in vindication of ours So that whereas Mr. Rich. Baxter in several of his publick Writings doth most uncharitably suggest as if he Dr. Steuart when at Paris had a design to introduce the French Popery by preaching it appears to the contrary not only in that but in another sermon preached in defence of the Protestants against the Papists in an Auditory of Prelatists there Besides also he with that publick spirited man Sir George Ratcliff did go very far in making an accommodation between the Jansenists and the reformed Party our Author being then Chaplain to his Maj.

College entred into Ch. Ch. and exhibited unto by his kinsman Dr. Ravis somtimes Dean of that House an 1605 aged 12. or more years and was I think at that time a Chorister Afterwards when he was about to take the degree of Bach. of Arts he was elected one of the number of Students being then noted to have a most admirable veine in Poetry and Oratory In 1615 he proceeded in Arts took Holy Orders soon after became a most eloquent and quaint Preacher and had two Benefices in the Dioc. of Oxon. confer'd on him whereof one was the rectory of Crowell In 1618 he went as Chaplain to Sir Franc. Steaart when he conducted to Spaine Dedicus Sarmiento de Acunna the Earl of Gundamore after he had continued several years in the English Court as an Embassador from the K. of that Country in which journey behaving himself in a facete and pleasant way did much obtain the favour of that Count. Afterwards he became Chaplain to K. Ch. 1. and succeeded Mr. Will. Bridges Son of Dr. John Bridges B. of Ox in the Archdeaconry of Oxon. before the year 1626. In 1642 he was by vertue of the Letters of the said King actually created with others Doct. of Divinity and sheltred himself in and near Oxon during the time of rebellion but when the royal Party declin'd and the Independent had taken place upon the installation of Oliver to the Protectorship he who before had lost his Livings and the profits of his Archdeaconry did side with that faction so far as to undergo the examination of the Triers or rather Spanish Inquisitors in order to be inducted into the rectory of Chilton in Berks in the place of one Tho.

But before the Election was to be made Perkinson desisted and Knight by the perswasions some say threatnings of Dr. Fell desisted So that then the Masters were left to Hobsons choice to choose Bennet and no body else Whereupon they perceiving full well that Dr. Fell was resolved to get his man in meerly by his Authority without any application to them and Bennet's little stirring for it only for form sake without applying himself according to the manner with cap in hand to gain votes they were resolved to cross the matter So that when the Election was to be on the 10 of the same month a majority of the Masters joyned together headed and encouraged chiefly by a clownish factious person did in despight of Dr. Fell his Mandamus and Authority of the Heads of Houses Seniors and the sober party set up and choose a meer stranger who lived remotely from Oxon named Christop Wase sometimes Fellow and Bach. of Arts of Kings Coll. in Cambridge and afterwards a Schoolmaster at several places to the very great-discomposure of Dr. Fell and something to the discredit of the University as if not able to afford a man to execute the said Office Afterwards Wase came to Oxon was sworn and took possession of his place But Dr. Fell who had received a character of would never let him execute the Archityp place because as he usually said he was not fit for it as being not a person of sobriety c.

Hall an 1629 aged 16 years where continuing under a severe discipline till he had taken the degrees in Arts was appointed a Tutor in that House and about the same time entred into the sacred function But being always schismatically enclined he sided with the factious party in the time of the Rebellion against K. Ch. 1 became a rigid Calvinist an enemy to Tithes and a purchaser of Church Revenues In those sad times of calamity he was made Minister of S. Edmunds Church in the City of Salisbury where by his doctrine he advanced much the blessed Cause and in 1654 he was made an Assistant to the Commissioners of Wilts for the ejection of such that were then called scandalous ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters in which office he shew'd himself very forward against those people of which some were his acquaintance and contemporaries in Oxon. After the Kings restauration he proceeded in his usual preaching but in 1662 was silenced for Nonconformity and lived for a time at or near to Salisbury But finding that place and neighbourhood uneasie he retired to Milksham near to Chippenham in Wilts where he had purchased an Estate and continued there to the time of his death His works are An Assize Sermon at Salisbury on Psal 45.6 Lond. 1652. qu.
