Ferguson a Nonconformist Minister author of as he added The second part of the growth of Popery Whereupon soon after a Messenger was sent to Brill in Holland to demand the body of him the said Ferguson and of Shaftesbury but the States refused so to do as the common Letters dat 13 January following told us Much about the same time I was informed by Letters also that since the said Earls retirement to Amsterdam he printed and published a book there in which he endeavoured to free himself from all cause of Jealousie and aspersions cast on him upon which a back friend of his immediatly dispers'd a satyrical reply in opposition thereunto Which coming early to his Lordships hands he printed a second book justifying the validity of the first but he did so much confound himself therein that the States had then a jealousie that he came among them for some other intent than barely his Majesties displeasure with him At length dying at Amsterdam of the Gout on the 21. of January in sixteen hundred eighty and two his body was conveyed into England and buried at Wimbourne S.

Hunt was born in the City of Worcester an 1611 became a Student in Pembr Coll. 1628 Master of Arts in 1636 but whether ever Bach. of that faculty it appears not and therefore Hen. instead of Tho.

Hunt who tho no Oxford man by education yet having been famous in his generation among certain schismatical persons for several things that he hath written and published I shall therefore give you these brief memoirs of him viz. That he was born in London in the Augustine Friers as I conceive near the Old Exchange was first Scholar then Fellow and Master of Arts of Queens Coll. in Cambridge where he was esteemed a person of quick parts and of a ready fluence in discourse but withall too pert and forward Thence he went to Greys Inn where before he had been entred a Student and making proficiency in the municipal Laws was made Barrister was had in repute for his practice and acknowledged by most persons to be a good Lawyer In 1659 he became Clerk of the Assizes of Oxford Circuit but ejected from that office at his Majesties restauration to his great loss to make room for the true owner Afterwards he lived and followed his profession at Banbury in Oxfordshire was Steward for a time to part of the Duke of Buckinghams Estate and afterwards to the Duke of Norfolk c.

Burton Minister of Friday street in London did pretend to discover in his Sermon entit For God and the King several extravagant and popish passages therein and advised the people to beware of it For which and nothing else as W. Prynne tells us he was brought into the Starr-chamber and there censured But on the contrary this popish book of Staffords as he calls it with many scandalous passages in it were by the Archbishops special direction professedly justified both by Dr. Heylyn in his Moderate answer to Mr. Burton and by Christoph Dow in his Innovations justly charged and this book neither called in nor corrected so audaciously popish was he grown in this particular among many others c.
