MEMORIALS

I.
K.
EDWARD
VI.
Out
of
Dr
Heylyns
History
of
the
Reformation
,
&c.
1.
EDward
,
the
only
surviving
Son
of
K.
Henry
VIII
.
was
born
at
the
Royal
Palace
of
Hampton
Court
,
Oct.
12.
1537.
of
Q.
Jane
Seymour
the
next
wife
to
K.
Henry
after
Anne
Bollen
.
Some
Ladies
who
had
seen
the
Pictures
of
both
Queens
at
Whitehal
Gallery
,
have
entertained
no
small
dispute
to
which
of
the
two
they
were
to
give
preeminence
in
point
of
beauty
;
each
of
them
having
such
a
plentiful
measure
of
perfections
,
as
to
entitle
either
of
them
to
a
superiority
.
If
Q.
Anne
seemed
to
have
the
more
lively
countenance
,
Q.
Jane
was
thought
to
carry
it
in
the
exact
symmetry
,
which
shewed
it self
in
all
her
features
.
Love
which
seemed
to
threaten
in
the
eyes
of
Q.
Jane
,
did
only
seem
to
sport
it self
in
the
eyes
of
Q.
Anne
.
There
was
more
Majesty
in
the
garb
of
Q.
Jane
Seymour
,
and
more
lovelynesse
in
that
of
Q.
Anne
Bo●en
:
yet
so
,
that
the
Majesty
of
the
one
did
excel
in
lovelinesse
,
and
that
the
lovelinesse
of
the
other
did
excel
in
Majesty
.
In
a
word
,
Q.
Jane
had
in
her
all
the
Graces
of
Q.
Anne
,
but
governed
with
an
evener
and
more
constant
temper
.
2.
It
hath
been
commonly
reported
and
no
less
generally
believed
,
that
the
child
being
come
unto
the
birth
,
and
there
wanting
natural
strength
to
be
delivered
,
his
Mothers
belly
was
ripped
open
to
give
him
a
passage
into
the
world
.
But
there
are
extant
two
several
letters
to
evince
the
contrary
.
Though
questionlesse
,
she
had
a
very
hard
labour
,
which
brought
her
first
into
a
very
high
distemper
,
and
after
into
a
very
great
loosnesse
,
which
accelerated
the
approach
of
death
,
to
the
General
lamentation

The
Prince
having
attained
unto
the
age
of
six
years
was
taken
out
of
the
hands
of
his
women
,
and
committed
to
the
Tuition
of
Mr
John
Cheek
(
whom
he
afterwards
Knighted
,
and
advanced
him
to
the
Provost-ship
of
Kings
Coll.
in
Cambridge
)
and
Dr
Richard
Cox
(
whom
afterwards
he
preferred
to
the
Deanry
of
Westminster
,
and
made
chief
Almoner
.
)
These
two
being
in
Authority
,
employed
themselves
to
his
advantage
in
their
several
kinds
;
Dr
Cox
,
for
knowledge
of
Divinity
,
Philosophy
and
Gravity
of
Manners
;
Mr
Cheek
for
Eloquence
in
the
Greek
and
Latin
Tongues
.
Besides
which
two
,
he
had
some
others
to
instruct
him
in
the
modern
languages
,
and
thrived
so
well
amongst
them
all
,
that
in
short
time
he
perfectly
spake
the
French
tongue
,
and
was
able
to
expresse
himself
significantly
enough
in
the
Italian
,
Greek
and
Spanish
.
And
as
for
the
Latin
,
how
early
a
Proficient
he
was
therein
(
with
reference
to
the
times
wherein
he
lived
)
is
yet
to
be
seen
in
some
Latin
●pistles
of
his
written
to
the
King
and
others
,
before
he
was
eight
years
old
.
4.
For
a
Companion
at
his
book
,
or
rather
for
aproxy
to
bear
the
punishment
of
such
errors
as
either
through
negligence
or
inadvertency
were
committed
by
him
,
he
had
one
Barnaby
Fitzpatrick
.
He
had
a
very
easie
substitution
of
it
.
And
,
if
it
sometimes
happened
,
as
it
seldom
did
,
that
the
servant
suffered
punishment
for
his
Masters
errors
;
it
is
not
easie
to
affirm
,
whether
Fitzpatrick
smarted
more
for
the
fault
of
the
Prince
,
or
the
Prince
conceived
more
grief
for
the
smart
of
Fitz-patrick
.
Certain
it
is
,
that
the
Prince
entertaind
such
a
real
estimation
of
him
,
that
when
he
came
unto
the
Crown
,
he
acquainted
him
by
letters
with
the
sufferings
of
the
Duke
of
Sommerset
,
instructed
and
maintained
him
for
his
travels
in
France
,
endowed
him
with
fair
lands
in
Ireland
,
his
native
Country
;
and
finally
made
him
Baron
of
upper
Ossory
:
which
honorable
Title
he
enjoyed
till
the
time
of
his
death
,
in
the
later
end
of
Q.
Elizabeths
raign
;
at
which
time
he
dyed
a
zealous
and
Religious
Protestant
.
5.
One
thing
I
must
not
pretermit
to
shew
the
extraordinary
piety
of
this
hopeful
Prince
in
the
daies
of
his
childhood
;
when
,
being
about
to
take
down
somewhat
,
which
seemed
to
be
above
his
reach
,
one
of
his
servants
proferd
him
a
bossed
plated
Bible
,
to
stand
upon
and
heighten
him
:
Which
,
when
he
perceived
to
be
a
Bible
,
with
holy
Indignation
he
refused
to
do
;
but
took
it
,
and
kist
it
,
and
laid
it
in
its
place
,
sharply
reprehending
him
that
made
the
offer
.
A
strong
assurance
of
that
dear
esteem
and
veneration
,
in
which
he
held
that
Sacred
book
in
his
riper
years
.
6.
Having
attained
the
Age
of
nine
,
there
were
great
preparations
made
for
his
solemn
Investiture
in
the
principality
of
Wales
:
But
scarce
were
the
provisions
ready
,
but
the
Kings
sickness
brought
a
stop
,
and
His
death
shortly
after
put
an
end
to
those
preparations
;
the
expectation
of
a
Principality
,
being
thereby
changed
to
the
possession
of
a
Crown
.
7.
It
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
King
Henry
left
the
Church
,
in
many
respects
,
in
a
better
condition
then
he
found
it
;
not
only
in
order
to
the
Reformation
of
Religion
,
which
none
but
such
a
masculin
Prince
durst
have
undertaken
,
but
also
in
the
policy
and
endowments
of
it
.
The
Monasteries
and
Religious
Houses
might
possibly
be
lookt
upon
no
otherwise
,
then
as
so
many
excrescences
upon
the
body
of
the
Church
:
but
,
Bishopricks
being
more
essential
to
the
Constitution
of
the
same
,
he
did
not
onely
preserve
,
as
before
he
found
them
,
but
encrease
their
number
.
Six
of
the
wealthier
Monasteries
he
turned
into
Episcopal
Sees
,
i.
e.
the
Abbies
of
Westminster
,
●eterborough
,
Bristol
,
Glocester
and
Chester
,
with
that
of
Ousney
,
for
the
See
of
the
Bishop
of
Oxon
;
assigning
to
every
new
Episcopal
See
its
Dean
and
Chapter
,
and
unto
every
such
Cathedral
,
a
competent
number
of
Quire-men
and
other
officers
,
all
of
them
liberally
endowed
and
provided
for
.
And
that
the
Church
might
be
continually
furnished
with
sufficient
Seminaries
;
he
founded
a
Grammar
School
in
every
one
of
his
Cathedrals
,
either
old
or
new
,
with
Annual
Pensions
to
the
Master
and
some
allowance
to
be
made
to
the
Children
yearly
;
and
ordained
also
,
that
in
each
of
the
two
Universities
there
should
be
publick
Readers
,
in
the
faculties
of
Divinity
,
Law
and
Physick
,
and
in
the
Greek
and
Hebrew
Tongues
:
all
which
he
pensioned
,
and
endowed
with
liberal
Salaries
,
as
the
times
then
were
.
Besides
which
publick
benefactions
,
he
confirmed
Cardinal
Wolsey's
Colledge
in
Oxon
,
by
the
name
of
Kings
Colledge
first
,
and
of
Christ-Church
afterwards
;
and
erected
that
most
beautifull
pile
of
Trinity
Colledge
in
Cambridge
:
Those
being
the
two
fairest
,
and
most
magnificent
Foundations
in
the
Christian
World
.
And
as
for
the
polity
of
the
Church
,
he
settled
it
in
such
a
manner
,
that
Archbishops
and
Bishops
might
be
chosen
,
consecrated
,
and
all
the
Subjects
relieved
in
their
Sutes
and
Grievances
,
without
having
such
recourse
to
the
Court
of
Rome
,
as
formerly
had
drained
the
Realm
of
so
much
Treasure
.
8.
The
Earl
of
Hartford
(
after
,
Duke
of
Somerset
)
the
young
Kings
Uncle
,
is
chosen
Governour
of
his
Person
,
and
Protector
of
his
Kingdoms
,
till
he
should
come
to
the
Age
of
eighteen
years
.
The
Protector
and
other
Grandees
of
the
Court
presently
entertain
some
thoughts
of
a
Reformation
.
In
which
they
found
Arch-bishop
Cranmer
,
and
some
other
Bishops
to
be
as
forward
as
themselves
:
but
,
on
different
ends
:
endeavoured
by
the
Bishops
,
in
a
pious
zeal
for
rectifying
such
things
as
were
amiss
in
God's
publick
Worship
▪
but
by
the
Courtiers
,
on
an
hope
to
enrich
themselves
by
the
spoil
of
the
Bishopricks
.
9.
Commissioners
are
sent
forth
into
all
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
armed
with
Instructions
to
enquire
into
all
Ecclesiastical
Concernments
,
in
the
manner
of
a
Visitation
;
directed
by
the
King
,
as
Supreme
Head
on
Earth
of
the
Church
of
England
.
Which
Commissioners
,
being
directed
into
several
Circuits
,
were
accompanied
with
certain
learned
and
godly
Preachers
,
appointed
to
instruct
the
people
,
and
to
facilitate
the
work
of
the
Commissioners
in
all
Towns
and
Places
,
where
they
sate
.
And
,
that
the
people
might
not
cool
or
fall
off
again
,
in
,
and
from
that
which
had
been
taught
them
by
the
learned
Preachers
,
they
were
to
leave
some
Homilies
to
the
same
effect
with
the
Parish-Priests
:
which
the
Arch-bishop
had
composed
;
not
only
for
the
help
of
unpreaching
Ministers
,
but
for
the
regulating
and
enstructing
even
of
learned
Preachers
.
The
Preachers
were
more
particularly
instructed
to
perswade
the
people
from
praying
to
Saints
,
from
Adoring
of
Images
,
from
praying
in
unknown
Language
,
and
some
other
like
things
whereunto
long
Custom
had
brought
a
Religious
Observation
.
All
which
was
done
to
this
intent
;
That
the
people
in
all
places
being
prepared
by
little
and
little
,
might
with
more
ease
and
lesse
opposition
admit
the
total
Alteration
in
the
face
of
the
Church
,
which
was
intended
in
due
time
to
be
introduced
.
Among
the
Injunctions
sent
with
the
Commissioners
were
these
following
.
viz.
That
the
laws
for
abolishing
the
Popes
usurped
Power
be
observed
:
That
the
people
be
exhorted
to
works
of
Faith
,
Mercy
and
Charity
:
That
Images
be
taken
down
:
That
the
Bible
in
English
,
and
Erasmus
Paraphrase
be
placed
in
the
Church
:
That
Ecclesiastical
persons
ptomoted
give
exhibitions
to
poor
Scholars
in
the
Universities
:
That
no
Ecclesiastical
person
haunt
Ale-houses
.
That
none
preach
without
licence
:
That
no
Curate
admit
to
the
Communion
such
who
are
in
malice
with
their
Neighbours
:
That
the
Holy
Day
be
wholly
given
to
God
,
except
in
times
of
harvest
:
That
Tithes
be
not
detained
:
That
Priests
be
not
abused
,
&c.
10.
The
famous
Preacher
at
Court
was
Father
Latimer
:
who
drew
such
multitudes
of
people
after
him
to
hear
his
Sermons
;
that
being
to
preach
before
the
King
on
the
first
Friday
in
Lent
,
it
was
thought
necessary
,
that
the
Pulpit
should
be
placed
in
the
Kings
Privy-garden
,
where
he
might
be
heard
of
more
then
four
times
as
many
Auditors
,
as
could
have
thronged
into
the
Chappel
.
In
which
place
was
erected
afterwards
a
fixed
and
standing
Pulpit
for
the
like
occasions
:
especially
for
Lent-Sermons
on
Sundaies
in
the
Afternoon
:
and
hath
so
continued
ever
since
,
ti●l
these
later
times
.
11.
In
the
second
of
his
raign
,
An.
1548.
his
Majestie
declared
by
Proclamation
Septemb.
23.
That
for
the
setling
of
an
Uniformity
and
Order
throughout
his
Realm
;
and
for
putting
an
end
to
all
Controversies
in
Religion
,
He
had
caused
certain
Godly
Bishops
and
other
notable
learned
men
to
be
Congregated
,
or
called
together
.
And
thereupon
doth
infer
:
That
,
notwithstanding
many
of
the
Preachers
,
formerly
licensed
,
had
behaved
themselves
very
discreetly
and
wisely
,
to
the
Honour
of
God
and
the
contentation
of
his
Highnesse
:
Yet
till
such
time
,
as
the
said
Order
should
be
generally
set
forth
throughout
the
Realm
.
His
Majesty
did
thereby
inhibit
all
manner
of
Persons
,
whatever
they
be
,
to
preach
in
open
Audience
,
in
the
Pulpit
or
otherwise
,
by
any
sought
colour
or
fraud
,
to
the
disobeying
of
his
Commandment
.
And
this
he
did
to
the
intent
;
That
the
Whole
Clergy
in
the
mean
space
might
apply
themselves
to
prayer
to
Almighty
God
for
the
better
atchieving
of
this
same
Godly
intent
and
purpose
;
Not
doubting
but
that
all
his
loving
Subjects
in
the
mean
time
would
occupy
themselves
to
Gods
honour
,
with
due
prayer
in
the
Church
,
and
patient
hearing
of
the
Godly
Homilies
:
and
so
endeavour
themselves
,
that
they
may
be
the
more
ready
,
with
thankful
Obedience
to
receive
a
most
quiet
,
godly
and
uniform
Order
throughout
all
his
Realms
and
Dominions
.
12.
Here
it
is
to
be
observed
,
That
those
who
had
the
chief
directing
of
this
weighty

were
before
hand
reso●ved
,
that
none
but
English
heads
or
hands
should
be
used
therein
:
le●t
otherwise
it
might
be
thought
,
and
perhaps
objected
,
That
they
rather
followed
the
example
of
some
other
Churches
,
or
were
swayed
by
the
Authority
of
those
forein
Assistants
,
then
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
most
uncorrupted
practice
of
the
Primitive
Times
.
And
though
it
was
thought
necessary
,
for
the
better
seasoning
of
the
Universities
in
the
Protestant
Reformed
Religion
,
that
Martin
Bucer
and
Peter
Martyr
,
two
eminent
Divines
of
the
forein
Churches
,
should
be
invited
to
come
over
:
yet
we
find
neither
of
them
here
,
till
the
end
of
November
(
1548
)
when
the
Liturgie
had
been
approved
of
by
the
King
and
Council
,
if
it
had
not
also
passed
the
Approbation
of
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
13.
The
Book
being
finished
and
subscribed
,
it
w●s
with
all
due
●everence
humbly
presented
to
the
●ing
:
by
whom
it
was
received
to
his
great
Comfort
and
Quietnesse
of
mind
,
as
the
Statute
telleth
us
:
and
being
by
him
commended
to
the
Lords
and
Commons
then
assembled
in
Parliament
.
They
did
not
only
give
his
Highnesse
most
hearty
and
lowly
Thanks
,
for
his
Care
therein
;
but
,
on
perusal
thereof
,
declared
it
to
be
done
by
the
aid
of
the
Holy
Ghost
:
and
thereupon
it
was
enacted
,
That
all
Ministers
in
the
Kings
Dominions
should
say
Common
and
open
prayer
in
such
order
and
form
,
as
is
mentioned
in
the
same
Book
,
and
no
otherwise
.
14.
The
raign
of
this
Young
King
was
indeed
remarkable
for
the
progresse
of
the
Reformation
,
but
otherwise
tumultuous
in
it self
,
and
defamed
by
Sacrilege
,
and
so
distracted
into
sides
and
factions
,
that
in
the
end
the
King
himself
became
a
prey
to
the
strongest
party
.
15.
The
Physicians
that
attended
him
on
his
death
bed
whispered
:
That
neither
their
Advice
nor
Applications
had
been
at
all
regarded
in
the
course
of
his
sicknesse
:
That
the
King
had
been
ill
dealt
with
,
more
than
once
or
twice
:
and
,
That
,
when
by
the
benefit
both
of
his
Youth
and
carefull
means
,
there
were
some
fair
hopes
of
his
Recovery
,
he
was
again
more
strongly
overlaid
than
ever
.
It
is
affirmed
by
a
Writer
of
the
Popish
party
,
(
who
could
have
no
great
cause
to
pity
such
a
calamitous
end
)
that
the
Apothecary
who
poysond
him
,
for
the
horrour
of
the
offense
,
and
the
disquietnesse
of
his
Conscience
,
did
,
not
long
after
,
drown
himself
.
16.
In
his
dying
prayer
(
as
it
was
taken
from
his
Mouth
)
we
have
those
pious
words
:
Lord
God
,
deliver
me
out
of
this
miserable
and
wretched
life
,
and
take
me
among
thy
Chosen
.
Howbeit
not
my
will
,
but
thine
be
done
.
Lord
,
Blesse
my
people
,
and
save
thine
inheritance
.
Defend
this
Realm
from
Papistry
,
and
maintain
thy
true
Religion
.

II.
The
Lady
JANE
GREY
.
Out
of
Dr
Heylins
History
of
the
Reformation
.
1.
SHe
was
eldest
Daughter
of
Henry
L.
Grey
,
Duke
of
Suffolk
.
Her
Mother
was
the
Ladie
Francis
,
daughter
,
and
in
fine
one
of
the
coheires
of
Charles
Brandon
,
the
late
Duke
of
Suffolk
,
by
Marie
his
wife
,
Queen
Dowager
to
Lewis
12.
of
France
,
and
youngest
Daughter
of
K.
Henrie
VII
.
She
seemed
to
have
been
born
with
those
Attractions
,
which
seat
a
Soveraigntie
in
the
face
of
most
beautiful
persons
:
yet
was
her
Mind
endued
with
more
excellent
Charms
,
then
the
Attractions
of
her
Face
:
Modest
and
Mild
of
Disposition
,
Courteous
of
Carriage
,
and
of
such
Affable
Deportment
,
as
might
entitle
her
to
the
name
of
Queen
of
Hearts
,
before
she
was
designed
for
Queen
over
any
Subjects
.
2.
These
her
Native
and
obliging
Graces
,
were
accompanied
with
some
more
profitable
ones
,
of
her
own
acquiring
:
which
set
an
higher
value
on
them
,
and
much
encreased
the
same
,
both
in
Worth
and
Lustre
.
Having
attained
unto
that
Age
,
in
which
other
young
Ladies
used
to
apply
themselves
to
the
sports
and
exercises
of
their
Sex
,
She
wholly
gave
her
Mind
to
good
Arts
and
Sciences
;
much
furthered
in
that
pursuit
by
the
loving
Care
of
Mr
Elmer
:
under
whose
charge
she
came
to
such
a
large
proficiency
,
that
she
spake
the
Latin
and
Greek
Tongues
,
with
as
sweet
a
fluencie
,
as
if
they
had
been
natural
and
native
to
her
:
exactly
skilled
in
the
liberal
Sciences
,
and
perfectly
well
studied
in
both
kinds
of
Philosophie
.
3.
Take
here
a
story
out
of
Mr
Ascham's
Schoolm
.
p.
11.
in
his
own
words
:
One
example
,
Whether
love
or
fear
doth
work
more
in
a
child
,
for
vertue
and
learning
,
I
will
gladly
report
:
which
may
be
heard
with
some
pleasure
,
and
followed
with
more
profit
.
Before
I
went
into
Germanie
,
I
came
to
Brodegate
in
Leicestershire
,
to
take
my
leave
of
that
noble
Ladie
Jane
Grey
,
to
whom
I
was
exceeding
much
beholding
.
Her
Parents
the
Duke
and
the
Dutchesse
,
with
all
the
Houshold
,
Gentlemen
and
Gentlewomen
,
were
hunting
in
the
Park
:
I
found
her
in
her
Chamber
,
reading
Phoedon
Platonis
in
Greek
,
and
that
with
as
much
delight
,
as
some
Gentlemen
would
read
a
merry
tale
in
Bocace
.
After
salutation
,
and
duty
done
,
with
some
other
talk
,
I
asked
her
,
why
she
would
leese
such
pastime
in
the
Park
:
Smiling
she
answered
me
;
I
wisse
,
all
their
sport
in
the
Park
,
is
but
a
shadow
to
that
pleasure
that
I
find
in
Plato
:
Alas
,
good
folk
,
they
never
felt
what
true
pleasure
meant
.
And
how
came
You
,
Madam
,
quoth
I
,
to
this
deep
knowledge
of
pleasure
,
and
what
did
chiefly
allure
You
unto
it
,
seeing
not
many
women
,
but
very
few
men
have
attained
thereunto
.
I
will
tel
you
,
saith
she
,
and
tell
you
a
troth
,
which
perchance
ye
will
marvel
at
.
One
of
the
greatest
benefits
that
ever
God
gave
me
,
is
,
that
he
sent
me
so
sharp
and
severe
Parents
,
and
so
gentle
a
Schoolmaster
.
For
,
when
I
am
in
presence
either
of
Father
or
Mother
,
whether
I
speak
,
keep
silence
,
sit
,
stand
,
or
go
,
eat
,
drink
,
be
merry
,
or
sad
,
be
sowing
,
playing
,
dauncing
,
or
doing
any
thing
else
,
I
must
do
it
,
as
it
were
,
in
such
weight
,
measure
and
number
,
even
so
perfectly
,
as
God
made
the
world
;
or
else
I
am
so
sharply
traunted
,
so
cruelly
threatned
,
yea
presently
sometimes
,
with
pinches
,
nips
and
bobs
,
and
waies
,
(
which
I
will
not
name
,
for
the
honour
I
bear
them
,
)
so
without
measure
misordered
,
that
I
think
my self
in
hell
,
till
time
come
,
that
I
must
go
to
Mr
Elmer
:
who
teacheth
me
so
gently
,
so
pleasantly
,
with
such
fair
allurements
to
learning
,
that
I
think
all
the
time
nothing
,
whiles
I
am
with
him
.
And
when
I
am
called
from
him
,
I
fall
on
weeping
,
because
,
whatsoever
I
do
else
,
but
learning
,
is
full
of
grief
,
trouble
,
fear
and
whole
misliking
unto
me
.
And
thus
my
book
hath
been
so
much
my
pleasure
,
and
bringeth
dayly
to
me
more
pleasure
and
more
,
that
in
respect
of
it
,
all
other
pleasures
,
in
very
deed
,
be
but
trifles
and
troubles
unto
me
.
I
remember
this
talk
gladly
,
both
because
it
is
so
worthy
of
memory
,
and
because
also
it
was
the
last
talk
that
ever
I
had
,
and
the
last
time
that
ever
I
saw
that
noble
and
worthy
Lady
.
Thus
far
Mr
Ascham
.

4.
By
this
eminent
proficiency
in
all
parts
of
learning
,
and
an
Agreeablenesse
in
Disposition
,
she
became
very
dear
to
the
Young
K.
Edward
:
to
whom
Fox
not
onely
makes
her
equal
,
but
doth
acknowledge
her
also
to
be
his
Superiour
in
those
noble
studies
.
And
for
an
Ornament
superadded
to
her
other
perfections
,
she
was
most
zealously
affected
to
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
then
by
law
established
;
Which
she
embraced
,
not
out
of
any
outward
compliance
with
the
present
current
of
the
Times
,
but
because
her
own
mo●t
excellent
Judgement
had
been
fully
satisfied
in
the
Truth
and
Purity
thereof
.
All
which
did
so
endear
her
to
the
King
,
that
he
took
great
delight
in
her
Conversation
.
5.
Thus
lived
she
in
these
sweet
Contentments
,
till
she
came
unto
the
years
of
Marriage
,
when
she
,
that
never
found
in
her self
the
le●st
spark
of
Ambition
,
was
made
the
most
unhappy
Instrument
of
another
Mans.
The
proud
and
aspiring
Duke
of
Northumberland
treats
with
the
Duke
of
Suffolk
,
about
a
Marriage
between
the
Lord
Guilford
Dudly
his
fourth
Son
,
and
the
Lady
Jane
.
The
Marriage
is
concluded
,
and
by
Northumberland's
policy
;
the
Crown
is
transferred
from
K.
Edward
to
his
Cosin
the
Lady
Jane
,
his
two
Sisters
the
Lady
Mary
and
Lady
Elizabeth
being
passed
by
.
Memorable
is
the
Speech
she
made
to
the
two
Dukes
,
when
they
owned
her
for
Queen
,
to
this
effect
:
That
the
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
natural
Right
,
standing
for
the
Kings
Sisters
,
she
would
beware
of
burthening
her
weak
Conscience
with
a
yoke
,
which
did
belo●g
to
them
:
That
she
understood
the
Infamy
of
those
,
who
had
permitted
the
violation
of
Right
,
to
gain
a
Scepter
:
That
it
were
to
mock
God
,
and
deride
Justice
,
to
scruple
at
the
stealing
of
a
shilling
,
and
not
at
the
usurpation
of
a
Crown
.
Besides
(
said
she
)
I
am
not
so
yong
,
nor
so
little
read
in
the
guiles
of
fortune
,
to
suffer
my self
to
be
taken
by
them
.
If
she
enrich
any
,
it
is
but
to
make
them
the
subject
of
her
spoil
:
If
she
raise
others
,
it
is
but
to
pleasure
her self
with
their
Ruins
.
What
she
adored
but
yesterday
,
is
to
day
her
pastime
.
And
if
I
now
permit
her
to
adorn
and
Crown
Me
,
I
must
to
morrow
suffer
her
to
crush
,
and
tear
me
in
pieces
,
&c.
But
the
Ambition
of
the
two
Dukes
was
too
strong
and
violent
,
to
be
kept
down
by
any
such
prudent
Considerations
.
So
that
being
wearied
at
last
with
their
Importunities
,
and
overcome
by
the
intreaties
of
her
husband
,
whom
she
dearly
loved
,
She
submitted
unto
that
necessity
which
she
could
not
vanquish
,
yielding
her
head
with
more
unwillingnesse
to
the
ravishing
Glories
of
a
Crown
,
then
afterward
she
did
to
the
stroke
of
the
Ax.
6.
The
Acclamations
at
the
proclaiming
of
Queen
Mary
,
were
heard
by
the
Lady
Jane
(
now
no
longer
Queen
)
with
such
Tranquillity
of
mind
and
composednesse
of
countenance
,
as
if
she
had
not
been
concerned
in
the
Alteration
.
She
had
before
received
the
offer
of
a
Crown
,
with
●s
even
a
Temper
,
as
if
it
had
been
nothing
,
but
a
Garland
of
flowers
:
and
now
she
layes
aside
the
thought
thereof
with
as
much
contentedness
,
as
she
could
have
thrown
away
that
Garland
when
the
sent
was
gone
.
The
time
of
her
Glory
was
so
short
,
but
a
nine
Daies
wonder
,
that
it
seemed
nothing
but
a
Dream
,
out
of
which
she
was
not
sorry
to
be
awakened
.
The
Towr
had
been
to
her
a
prison
,
rather
than
a
Court
,
and
interrupted
the
Delights
of
her
former
life
by
so
many
Terrours
,
that
no
Day
passed
without
some
new
Alarm
to
disturb
her
Quiet
.
She
doth
now
know
the
worst
that
fortune
can
do
unto
her
:
and
having
alwaies
feared
,
that
there
stood
a
Scaffold
secretly
behind
the
Throne
,
She
was
as
readily
prepared
to
act
her
part
upon
the
one
,
as
upon
the
other
.
7.
Her
Death
is
resolved
upon
:
but
first
She
must
be
practiced
with
to
change
her
Religion
.
To
which
end
Fecknam
is
employed
:
a
Man
,
whose
great
parts
ptomised
him
an
easie
victory
over
a
poor
Lady
of
a
broken
and
dejected
Spirit
.
But
it
proved
the
contrary
.
For
,
so
well
had
She
studyed
the
Concernments
of
her
own
Religion
,
and
managed
the
Conference
with
him
,
with
such
a
readinesse
of
wit
,
such
Constancie
of
Resolution
,
and
a
Judgement
so
well
grounded
in
all
helps
of
Learning
;
that
she
was
able
to
make
Answer
to
the
strongest
Arguments
;
as
well
to
her
great
Honour
,
as
his
Admiration
.
So
that
,
not
able
to
prevail
with
her
in
the
change
of
Religion
,
he
made
offer
of
his
service
to
prepare
her
for
death
.
Which
,
though
she
thankfully
accepted
of
,
as
finding
it
to
proceed
from
a
good
affection
;
yet
soon
he
found
,
that
she
was
also
aforehand
with
him
in
those
preparations
,
which
are
fit
and
necessary
for
a
Dying-Christian
.
8.
Friday
,
9.
Febr.
was
first
designed
for
the
day
of
the
Execution
:
but
the
Desire
of
gaining
her
to
the
Church
of
Rome
procured
her
the
short
respite
of
three
dayes
more
.
On
Sunday
night
,
being
the
Eve
unto
the
day
of
her
Translation
,
she
wrote
a
Letter
in
the
Greek
tongue
,
at
the
end
of
a
Testament
,
which
she
bequeathed
as
a
Legacy
to
her
Sister
the
Lady
Katharine
,
which
being
such
a
lively
Picture
of
the
excellent
Lady
,
some
lines
thereof
are
worthy
to
be
presented
here
:
I
have
sent
you
a
Book
(
dear
Sister
)
which
although
it
be
not
outwardly
trimmed
with
Gold
,
yet
inwardly
it
is
more
worth
then
pretious
stones
.
If
you
with
a
good
mind
read
it
,
and
with
an
earnest
desire
to
follow
it
,
it
shall
bring
you
to
an
immortal
and
everlasting
life
:
it
shall
teach
you
to
live
,
and
learn
you
to
dy
:
it
shall
win
you
more
,
then
you
should
have
gained
by
your
wofull
Fathers
Lands
.
You
shall
be
an
Inheritor
of
such
Riches
,
as
neither
the
Covetous
shall
withdraw
from
you
,
neither
Thief
shall
steal

The
fatal
Morning
being
come
,
the
Lord
Guilford
earnestly
desired
the
officers
,
that
he
might
take
his
Farewell
of
her
.
Which
,
though
they
willingly
permitted
,
yet
,
upon
notice
of
it
,
she
advised
the
contrary
,
assuring
him
,
That
such
a
Meeting
would
rather
add
to
his
Afflictions
,
and
her
presence
rather
weaken
then
strengthen
him
:
That
he
ought
to
take
courage
from
his
Reason
,
and
derive
constancy
from
his
own
heart
:
That
he
should
do
well
to
remit
this
Interview
to
the
other
World
;
that
there
indeed
Friendships
were
happy
,
and
unions
indissoluble
,
and
that
theirs
would
be
eternal
,
if
their
souls
carried
nothing
with
them
of
Terrestrial
,
which
might
hinder
them
from
rejoycing
.
All
she
could
do
,
was
to
give
him
a
Farewell
out
of
a
window
,
as
he
passed
toward
the
place
of
his
dissolution
:
which
he
suffer'd
on
the
Scaffold
on
Tower-Hill
,
with
much
Christian
meeknesse
.
10.
The
Lady
was
led
to
a
Scaffold
within
the
Tower
,
by
Sir
Henry
Gage
the
Constable
;
who
desired
her
to
bestow
some
small
gift
upon
him
,
as
a
Memorial
of
her
.
To
gratify
which
desire
,
she
gave
him
her
Table-book
:
in
which
she
had
written
three
sentences
,
in
Greek
,
Latine
and
English
;
as
she
saw
her
Husbands
Body
brought
unto
the
Chappel
;
which
she
besought
him
to
accept
as
her
last
Bequest
.
The
Greek
to
this
effect
:
That
,
if
his
executed
body
should
give
testimony
against
her
before
Men
;
his
most
blessed
soul
should
give
an
eternal
proof
of
her
Innocence
in
the
presence
of
God
.
The
Latine
added
:
That
Humane
Justice
was
against
his
Body
,
but
the
Divine
Mercy
would
be
for
his
Soul
.
The
Conclusion
in
English
:
That
,
if
her
fault
deserved
punishment
,
her
Youth
at
least
,
and
her
Imprudence
were
worthy
of
Excuse
;
and
,
that
God
and
Posterity
would
shew
her
Favour
.
11.
Conducted
by
Fecknam
to
the
Scaffold
,
she
gave
not
much
heed
to
his
Discourses
,
but
kept
her
eyes
upon
a
Prayer-book
of
her
own
.
And
,
being
mounted
on
the
Throne
,
from
which
she
was
to
receive
a
more
excellent
Crown
,
then
any
which
this
vile
Earth
could
give
her
,
she
addressed
her self
in
some
few
words
to
the
standers
by
,
letting
them
know
;
That
her
offence
was
not
for
having
layd
her
hand
upon
the
Crown
,
but
for
not
rejecting
it
with
sufficient
Constancy
:
That
she
had
lesse
erred
through
Ambition
,
then
out
of
Reverence
to
her
parents
;
yet
such
Reverence
deserved
punishment
:
That
she
would
willingly
admit
of
death
,
so
to
give
satisfaction
to
the
injured
State
:
And
that
she
had
justly
deserved
this
punishment
,
for
being
made
the
Instrument
,
(
though
an
unwilling
Instrument
)
of
Anothers
ambition
.
Then
,
having
desired
the
people
to
recommend
her
in
their
prayers
to
the
mercies
of
God
,
being
ready
for
the
block
,
with
the
same
clear
and
untroubled
Countenance
,
wherewith
she
had
acted
all
the
rest
of
her
Tragedy
,
she
said
aloud
the
Psalm
of
Miserere
mei
Deus
,
in
the
English
Tongue
,
and
so
submitted
her
pure
neck
to
the
●xecutioner
.

Sir
JOHN
CHEEK
.
Out
of
his
Life
prefixed
to
The
hurt
of
Sedition
,
written
by
Dr.
Langbane
.
1.
THIS
learned
and
worthy
man
fell
immediately
,
from
the
womb
of
his
Mother
,
into
the
lap
of
the
Muses
;
being
both
born
and
bred
within
the
liberties
of
that
famous
nursery
of
good
Letters
,
Cambridge
.
He
seems
to
have
been
of
no
vulgar
extraction
,
for
two
of
his
Sisters
were
fairly
matched
,
one
to
Dr.
Blith
,
the
Kings
professor
of
Physick
;
and
Mary
,
another
of
them
,
to
William
Cecil
,
afterwards
Lord
Burghley
,
a
most
able
Minister
of
State

In
the
discharge
of
this
later
he
went
over
all
Sophocles
twice
,
all
Homer
,
all
Euripides
,
and
part
of
Herodotus
,
to
his
Auditors
benefit
and
his
own
credit
:
which
was
all
the
Salary
he
then
had
:
till
King
Henry
VIII
of
his
royal
bounty
endowed
that
and
the
other
Chairs
with
the
liberal
Allowance
of
XL
pounds
per
annum
;
and
,
upon
the
sole
Commendatories
of
his
former
deservings
,
conferred
that
honour
on
him
,
to
be
the
first
Regius
professor
of
the
Greek
tongue
in
Cambridge
,
as
Sir
Thomas
Smith
was
of
Law
.
4.
These
two
especially
by
their
advice
and
example
brought
the
study
of
Tongues
and
other
politer
learning
first
into
request
in
that
University
.
Upon
hopes
of
facilitating
the
Greek
Tongue
,
they
attempted
to
reduce
it
to
the
antient
,
but
obsolete
manner
of
pronuntiation
:
an
innovation
quickly
observed
by
B.
Gardiner
,
the
Chancellor
,
and
repressed
by
a
strict
Injunction
,
May
21.
1542.
And
though
at
last
,
after
several
Writings
,
Mr.
Cheek
was
content
to
submit
to
that
one
unanswerable
Argument
of
the
Chancellors
Authority
;
yet
his
Rules
and
Practice
had
taken
such
deep
root
in
his
Auditors
,
that
by
them
it
was
propagated
through
this
whole
Kingdom
:
and
that
we
English-men
speak
Greek
,
and
are
able
to
understand
one
another
,
we
must
acknowledge
it
to
be
a
special
effect
of
Mr.
Cheek's
rare
ingeny
.
5.
That
famous
King
,
Henry
VIII
,
thought
it
sit
to
call
this
great
light
of
Learning
out
of
the
shadow
:
and
so
he
did
July
10.
1544.
and
to
his
Custody
he
then
committed
the
most
precious
Jewel
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
young
Prince
Edward
,
being
at
that
time
not
full
seven
years
of
age
.
What
progresse
he
made
under
this
Director
of
his
studies
,
appears
by
those
noble
Reliques
of
his
industry
und
sufficiency
,
both
in
Greek
and
Latine
,
which
are
still
preserved
in
his
Majesties
Library
at
S.
James
.
6.
It
may
be
truly
said
,
that
under
God
Mr.
Cheek
was
a
special
Instrument
of
the
propagation
of
the
Gospel
,
and
that
Religion
which
we
now
professe
in
this
Kingdom
.
For
he
not
only
sowed
the
seeds
of
that
Doctrin
in
the
heart
of
Prince
Edward
,
which
afterwards
grew
up
into
a
general
Reformation
when
he
came
to
be
King
;
but
by
his
means
the
same
saving
truth
was
gently
instilled
into
the
Lady
Elizabeth
,
by
those
who
by
his
procurement
were
admitted
to
be
guides
of
her
younger
studies
.
Such
were
,
first
William
Grindall
,
and
after
him
Roger
Ascham
,
who
had
fomerrly
bin
his
Scholar
in
the
Coll.
and
successor
in
the
Orators
place
in
the
University
:
a
man
dear
unto
him
for
similitude
of
studies
,
but
more
for
his
zeal
to
the
true
Religion
.
7.
An.
1547.
When
the
young
King
was
wel
settled
in
his
Throne
,
he
admitted
Mr.
Cheek
to
be
one
of
his
privy
Chamber
.
This
accrue
of
Honour
to
her
son
made
his
learned
Mother
the
University
a
suiter
to
him
for
protection
in
those
stormy
times
:
who
in
her
Letters
to
him
gives
him
such
an
Elogie
,
as
must
not
be
omitted
here
.
This
it
is
:
Ex

When
his
Majesty
was
pleased
to
make
a
doal
of
Honours
among
his
deserving
Subjects
;
Mr.
Cheek
was
not
forgotten
:
He
,
with
his
Brother
in
Law
Secretary
Cecil
,
were
then
Knighted
,
This
was
but
a
foundation
upon
which
the
gratefull
Prince
had
a
purpose
to
erect
higher
preferments
,
had
not
the
hand
of
Providence
so
soon
snatcht
him
away
into
another
Kingdom
,
to
invest
his
temples
with
a
more
glorious
Crown
.
This
was
done
July
6.
1553.
not
long
after
he
had
called
Sir
John
Cheek
to
sit
at
the
helm
of
State
,
the
Council
Boord
.
In
this
common
losse
of
so
good
a
King
,
He
,
good
man
,
had
more
then
a
common
share
.
Being
clapt
up
in
prison
July
27.
he
was
stript
of
the
greatest
part
of
his
honours
,
and
all
his
fortunes
:
●ut
his
Person
was
set
at
liberty
Sept.
3.
and
not
long
after
we
meet
with
him
in
Germany
,
either
a
forced
or
a
voluntary
exile
.
9.
From
thence
he
passed
into
Italy
,
and
by
the
way
left
those
adversary
Epistles
of
Winchester
and
himself
with
his
Friend
Coelius
,
who
put
them
in
print
without
the
Authours
privity
.
At
his
return
to
Germany
,
he
was
kindly
entertained
at
Strasburg
,
where
he
took
up
his
old
trade
,
and
set
up
shop
again
,
being
chosen
Professor
of
the
Greek
tongue
in
that
place
.
This
was
a
treasure
which
maintained
him
in
his
exile
:
this
he
had
not
confiscate
to
the
Queen
:
this
escaped
the
diligence
of
the
Searchers
,
when
he
conveyed
it
out
of
the
Kingdom
.
10.
Here
he
lived
about
two
years
in
good
repute
,
till
I
know
not
what
unlucky
stars
put
him
upon
a
journey
into
the
Low
Countries
.
Some
have
said
it
was
to
marry
a
wife
:
but
what
need
of
that
,
when
he
was
already
matched
to
a
young
Lady
;
who
lived
to
see
many
happier
days
after
his
decease
,
and
dyed
well
nigh
threescore
years
after
him
,
An.
1616.
Sleidan
tells
us
he
went
into
low
Germany
,
ut
uxorem
educeret
,
to
fetch
his
wife
thence
,
who
belike
was
lately
come
over
out
of
England
,
and
meant
to
settle
with
him
at
Strasburg
.
But
in
his
return
from
Bruxelles
to
Antwerp
,
May
15.
1556
,
both
Sir
John
Cheek
and
Sir
Peter
Carew
were
way-laid
by
the
Provost
Marshall
for
K.
Philip
,
beaten
from
their
horses
,
tyed
hand
and
foot
to
the
bottom
of
a
Cart
,
and
so
conveyed
hood-winkt
to
the
next
Haven
;
where
they
were
shipt
under
h●tches
,
and
their
first
landing
place
was
the
Tower
of
London
,
where
they
were
committed
to
close
prison
.
Sir
Peter
Carew
out-lived
his
Troubles
,
and
under-went
many
honourable
services
under
Queen
Elizabeth
,
and
dyed
An.
1575.
11.
Sir
John
Cheek's
lot
was
somewhat
harder
:
he
was
put
to
this
miserable
choise
,
either
to
forgo
his
life
,
or
what
is
far
more
precious
,
his
liberty
of
Conscience
.
No
mean
:
neither
his
great
Learning
,
nor
his
known
integrity
,
nor
the
intercession
of
his
friends
,
and
among
them
Abbot
Fekenham
(
a
man
which
could
do
somewhat
with
Queen
Mary
)
could
compound
for
his
pardon
at
any
lower
rate
,
then
the
recantation
of
his
Religion
.
Upon
this
he
was
soon
restored
to
his
liberty
,
but
never
to
his
content
.
The
sense
and
sorrow
for
himself
,
and
the
dayly
sight
of
that
cruel
butchery
which
was
exercised
upon
others
for
the
constant
profession
of
the
truth
,
made
such
deep
impressions
in
his
broken
soul
,
as
brought
him
to
a
speedy
,
but
comfortable
end
of
a
miserable
life
.
12.
He
dyed
at
London
in
the
house
of
Peter
Osbern
Esq
;
Sept.
1557.
He
left
one
Son
,
which

his
name

comely
young
man
and
a
stout

slain
in
his
Princes
service

Dr.
JOHN
WHITGIFT
Arch-bishop
of
Canterbury
.
Out
of
his
life
written
by
Sir
George
Paul
,
Controller
of
his
Graces
houshold
.
1.
HE
came
of
the
antient
family
of
Whitgift
of
Whitgift
in
York-shire
,
the
eldest
son
of
a
Merchant
Henry
Whitgift
of
great
Grimsly
in
Lincolnshire
,
and
was
there
born
An.
1530.
He
was
taught
(
among
other
young
Gentlemen
)
by
his
Unkle
Robert
Whitgift
Abbot
of
Wellow
.
In
which
time
(
as
he
was
pleased
often
to
remember
)
he
heard
the
Abbot
say
:
That
they
and
their
Religion
could
not
long
continue
;
because
(
said
he
)
I
have
read
the
whole
Scripture
over
and
over
,
and
could
never
find
therein
that
our
Religion
was
founded
by
God
.
2.
His
Uncle
finding
an
extraordinary
forwardlynesse
in
him
,
sent
him
afterwards
,
to
London
,
where
he
became
a
Scholar
in
S.
Anthonies
Schoole
,
and
boarded
at
his
Aunts
House
in
Pauls
Church-yard
.
From
thence
he
repaired
to
Grimsly
to
his
Parents
,
being
thrust
out
of
dores
by
his
Aunt
,
because
he
would
not
goe
with
her
to
Mass
,
imputing
all
her
domestick
misfortunes
to
her
harbouring
such
an
Heretick
in
her
House
:
and
for
a
Farewell
told
him
;
That
she
thought
at
the
first
,
she
had
received
a
Saint
into
her
House
,
but
now
she
perceived
he
was
a
Divel
.
3.
His
Parents
finding
his
proficiency
,
by
the
direction
of
his
Uncle
,
sent
him
to
Cambridge
.
Dr.
Ridley
made
him
Scholar
of
Pembroke
Hall
:
thence
,
Dr.
Pearn
chose
him
Fellow
of
Peter
house
:
Being
there
fallen
grievously
sick
,
the
Doctor
(
who
lov'd
him
for
his
good
parts
)
placed
him
with
a
good
woman
near
the
Colledge
,
visiting
him
oft
,
and
charging
her
to
spare
no
cost
for
his
recovery
:
If
he
lives
(
said
he
)
he
will
be
able
to
pay
you
himself
:
if
he
dye
,
I
will
satisfy
you
.
4.
After
his
recovery
,
Dr.
Pearn
,
finding
he
purposed
to
travel
Beyond
Sea
to
avoid
the
Visitors
sent
by
Queen
Mary
,
conferred
with
him
,
and
seeing
him
resolute
in
his
Religion
,
upon
many
good
and
sound
reasons
(
as
the
Doctor
often
acknowledged
)
willed
him
to
be
silent
,
and
quiet
,
and
he
would
so
order
the
matter
,
that
he
might
keep
his
Religion
and
not
leave
the
University
:
which
the
good
old
man
justly
performed
.
5.
After
he
was
entred
into
the
Ministry
(
which
was
upon
the
year
1560
)
being
to
preach
his
first
publick
Sermon
in
S.
Maries
,
he
chose
for
his
Text
that
excellent
saying
of
S.
Paul
,
I
am
not
ashamed
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
&c.
Wherein
his
singular
method
,
choice
of
matter
,
and
judicious
handling
thereof
were
such
,
that
his
whole
Auditory
,
especially
the
Chief
of
the
University
,
grew
into
great
Admiration
of
those
great
parts
in
so
young
years
.
6.
From
being
Fellow
of
Peter
House
,
he
succeeded
Doctor
Hutton
in
the
Mastership
of
Pembroke
Hall
,
and
being
Chaplain
to
Doctor
Cox
Bishop
of
Ely
,
he
had
a
Prebend
there
.
He
was
also
chosen
the
Lady
Margarets
Professor
of
Divinity
,
and
afterwards
the
Queens
.
The
Queen
,
having
heard
him
preach
,
said
he
had
a
White
gift
indeed
,
made
him
Master
of
Trinity
Colledge
,
and
caused
him
immediately
to
be
sworn
her
Chaplain
,
An.
1567.
7.
He
govern'd
the
Colledge
for
five
years
space
with
great
quietnesse
,
untill
Mr.
Tho.
Cartwright
(
a
Fellow
of
that
Colledge
)
his
last
return
from
beyond
the
Seas
.
Whose
first
discontentment
grew
from
the
Queens
neglect
of
him
at
a
Disputation
before
her
Majesty
in
the
University
.
8.
The
Master
being
from
home
,
Mr.
Cartwright
with
some
of
his
adherents
made
three
Sermons
upon
one
Sunday
,
and
so
vehemently
inveighed
against
the
Surplice
and
other
Ceremonies
,
that
they
of
the
Colledge
at
Evening
Prayer
,
laid
aside
their
Surplices
,
three
only
excepted
.
9.
Doctor
Whitgift
,
after
that
Mr.
Cartwright
had
broached
his
dangerous
Doctrin
,
used
to
confute
it
in
the
same
Church
,
the
next
Sunday
following
,
and
settled
the
judgment
of
many
;
and
fore-seeing
these
sparks
of
sedition
,
if
not
timely
quenched
,
would
grow
to
a
great
flame
,
often
sent
to
Mr.
Cartwright
,
and
in
friendly
manner
advised
him
to
surcease
from
those
courses
:
but
finding
him
wilfull
and
obstinate
,
highly
conceited
of
himself
and
a
despiser
of
others
that
were
not
of
his
mind
,
and
a
refuser
of
any
fair
tryal
of
his
cause
by
Conference
or
writing
;
caused
him
to
be
expelled
the
House
,
and
deprived
likewise
of
the
Margarit
Lecture
:
An.
1570.
10.
Not
long
after
,
the
Disciplinarians
published
a
seditious
Treatise
entituled
,
An
Admonition
to
the
Parliament
:
the
summary
of
their
opinions
and
slanders
.
And
in
regard
of
the
applause
it
found
among
the
greener
heads
,
given
to
novelty
,
Doctor
Whitgift
answers
it
.
Cartwright
replyes
,
and
Doctor
Whitgift
defends
his
Answer
.
A
second
Reply
being
publisht
by
Cartwright
,
the
Doctor
addresses
himself
to
answer
that
too
,
but
is
dissuaded
by
his
judicious
friends
,
and
especially
by
Doctor
Whitaker
in
a
Letter
,
wherein
are
these
among
other
words
concerning
the
Authour
:
Veris
ludit
,
sententiis
dormitat
,
&
plane
indignus
est
,
qui
à
quopiam
docto
refutetur
.
11.
In
his
ten
years
Government
of
Trinity
Colledge
,
Doctor
Whitgift
bred
many
excellent
Scholars
(
six
whereof
were
in
his
time
Bishops
,
and
some
great
States-men
:
he
procured
an
Amendment
of
the
Statutes
of
the
Vniversity
;
and
as
the
causes
he
dealt
in
were
alwaies
just
,
so
his
success
was
ever
prosperous
,
through
his
wisdom
and
stoutnesse
.
And
yet
that
stoutnesse
was
so
well
tempered
and
mingled
with
his
other
vertue
of
mildnesse
and
patience
,
that
Mr.
Hooker
made
this
true
observation
of
him
;
He
alwaies
govern'd
with
that
moderation
,
which
useth
by
patience
to
suppresse
boldnesse
,
and
to
make
them
conquer
that
suffer
:
which
well
suted
with
his
Motto
,
Vincit
qui
patitur
.
12.
An.
1577.
He
was
chosen
to
be
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
consecrated
21.
Apr.
and
having
taken
leave
of
the
Vniversity
and
Colledge
by
preaching
of
peace
publickly
and
privately
,
he
was
in
June
following
attended
on
his
way
to
Worcester
by
a
great
Troup
of
the
chiefest
persons
,
full
of
sorrow
for
their
losse
of
so
excellent
a
Governour
.
The
Queen
,
to
shew
her
Bounty
and
Love
,
forgave
him
his
first
fruits
,
and
gave
him
the
disposing
of
all
the
Prebends
of
that
Church
during
his
Continuance
there
.
13.
He
found
the
Bishoprick
at
his
first
coming
much
impaired
by
his
Predecessors
,
in
long
Leases
and
Grants
:
but
that
which
most
troubled
him
was
the
letting
of
the
Rent
Corne
of
his
two
best
Mannors
,
Hollow
and
Grimley
,
the
chief
upholding
of
the
Bishops
hospitality
.
To
redeem
the
said
Corn
from
a
powerfull
Tenant
,
the
Bishop
was
contented
,
by
way
of
Composition
to
give
three
hundred
pound
out
of
his
own
purse
to
have
the
lease
surrendred
.
14.
There
was
such
mutual
love
between
the
Gentlemen
and
the
Bishop
,
that
they
delighted
to
converse
much
together
.
And
if
the
Bishop
understood
of
any
jar
or
discord
,
he
●ould
send
for
both
parties
(
under
pretence
of
some
service
to
be
done
)
and
make
them
friends
.
If
they
were
froward
against
perswasion
,
he
would
interpose
his
Authority
,
as
Vice
President
of
Wales
(
which
place
her
Majesty
bestowed
on
him
shortly
after
he
was
made
Bishop
)
and
threaten
the
obstinate
with
imprisonment
.
15.
He
had
a
special
care
of
his
own
family
(
as
behoved
him
)
and
of
his
Attendants
neer
unto
him
;
and
to
avoid
all
colour
of
corruption
would
never
receive
informations
or
petitions
in
his
private
Chamber
but
abroad
,
by
the
Petitioners
themselves
;
in
so
much
that
a
Gentleman
of
his
Bed-chamber
making
request
he
might
have
the
delivery
of
Suitors
Petitions
,
and
indorse
their
Answers
,
he
grew
into
such
dislike
,
that
he
presently
discharged
him
.
16.
Her
Majesty
out
of
her
experience
of
his
wise
and
prudent
Government
,
was
pleased
(
upon
complaint
of
the
many
discords
and
disorders
in
the
two
Cathedral
Churches
of
Lichfield
and
Hereford
)
to
direct
two
Commissions
unto
him
for
the
visiting
of
the
said
Churches
.
He
reformed
them
both
,
and
ordained
them
Statutes
for
their
better
Government
.
17.
Arch-bishop
Grindal
,
laboured
him
in
most
earnest
manner
to
accept
of
the
Arch-bishoprick
,
being
himself
contented
to
shake
off
his
cares
,
and
receive
from
her
Majesty
some
yearly
Pension
:
which
Bishop
Whitgift
utterly
refused
,
and
in
presence
of
the
Queen
her self
besought
pardon
in
not
accepting
thereof
,
upon
any
condition
whatsoever
,
in
the
life
time
of
the
other
.
Whereupon
the
Queen
was
graciously
pleased
to
say
:
As
she
had
made
him
an
Archbishop
,
so
he
should
dye
an
Arch-bishop
:
As
he
did
shortly
after
.
18.
He
was
advanced
to
the
Arch-bishoprick
of
Canterbury
,
Sept.
24.
1583.
At
his
first
entrance
he
procured
an
Order
for
the
abatement
of
his
first
fruits
:
he
recover'd
from
the
Queen
a
thousand
Acres
of
Land
,
and
by
abating
the
fines
of
his
Impropriations
encreased
the
Pensions
of
Curates
.
19.
Her
Majesty
commanded
him
to
be
vigilent
and
carefull
for
the
reducing
of
Non-Conformists
,
much
strengthened
by
his
Predecessors
connivency
.
Wherein
he
had
much
adoe
,
many
conflicts
,
and
was
opposed
by
some
great
Personages
.
Concerning
whom
he
thus
writeth
:
I
trust
those
that
love
me
indeed
,
will
not
so
lightly
cast
off
their
old
friends
for
any
of
these
new
fangled
and
factious
Sectaries
,
whose
fruits
are
to
make
division
.
—
If
my
honourable
friends
should
forsake
me
,
when
I
think
to
deserve
best
and
in
a
manner
consume
my self
to
satisfie
that
which
God
,
her
Majesty
and
the
Church
requireth
of
me
,
I
should
be
evil
rewarded
.
Sed
meliora
spero
.
—
The
slanderous
tongues
of
this
uncharitable
Sect
,
reported
that
I
am
become
a
Papist
:
but
it
proceedeth
from
their
leudness
,
not
any
desert
of
mine
,
&c.
But
how
is
it
possible
that
I
should
perform
the
charge
,
which
I
have
undertaken
,
after
so
long
liberty
,
and
lack
of
Discipline
,
if
a
few
persons
,
so
meanly
qualified
(
as
most
of
these
factious
Sectaries
are
)
should
be
countenanced
against
the
whole
state
of
the
Clergy
of
greatest
account
both
for
learning
,
years
,
staidnesse
,
wisdome
,
religion
and
honesty
;
and
open
breakers
and
impugners
of
the
Law
,
young
in
years
,
proud
in
conceit
,
contentious
in
disposition
,
should
be
maintained
against
their
Governours
seeking
to
reduce
them
to
order
and
obedience
,
&c.
The
day
wil
come
,
when
all
mens
hearts
shall
be
opened
.
In
the
mean
time
I
will
depend
upon
him
,
who
never
fiaileth
those
,
that
put
their
trust
in
him
.
20.
An.
1587.
Tho.
Bromley
(
the
then
Lord
Chancellor
)
dyed
.
Whereupon
it
pleased
her
Majesty
to
discover
her
gracious
inclination
,
to
have
made
the
Arch-bishop
Lord
Chancellour
of
England
.
But
he
excusing
himself
in
many
respects
,
that
he
was
grown
into
years
,
and
had
the
burthen
of
all
Ecclesiastical
businesses
laid
upon
his
back
(
which
was
as
much
as
one
man
could
well
undergoe
,
considering
the
troubles
with
so
many
Sectaries
that
were
then-sprung
up
)
desired
to
be
spared
;
and
besought
her
Highnesse
to
make
choice
of
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
,
who
shortly
after
was
made
Lord
Chancellour
in
the
Archbishops
house
at
Croydon
;
thereby
the
rather
to
grace
the
Arch-bishop
.
His
advancement
did
much
strengthen
the
Arch-bishop
and
his
friends
,
and
withall
,
the
Earl
of
Leicester
and
his
designments
came
soon
after
to
an
end
.
21.
An.
1588.
Upon
the
death
of
the
Farl
of
Leicester
,
the
Chancellorship
of
Oxford
being
void
,
divers
of
the
Heads
and
others
of
the
University
made
known
unto
the
Arch-bishop
their
desire
to
chufe
him
their
Chancellour
,
although
he
was
a
Cambridge
man
.
To
whom
he
returned
this
Answer
;
That
he
was
already
their
friend
,
whereof
they
might
rest
assured
,
and
therefore
advised
them
to
make
choice
of
some
other
in
near
place
about
the
Queen
,
that
might
assist
him
on
their
behalf
;
and
both
at
the
Council-board
,
and
other
places
of
Justice
,
right
them
many
waies
,
both
for
the
benefit
of
their
Vniversity
,
and
of
their
Colledges
.
And
therewithall
recommended
unto
them
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
,
being
sometime
of
that
University
.
Whom
accordingly
they
did
chuse
for
their
Chancellour
,
and
whom
the
Arch-bishop
ever
found
a
great
Assistant
in
bridling
and
reforming
the
imtemperate
humour
of
those
Novelists
,
who
by
the
Countenance
of
some
great
personages
were
now
grown
to
a
strong
head
.
22.
It
was
in
their
Assemblies
Classical
and
Synodical
concluded
,
that
the
Discipline
should
,
within
a
time
limited
,
be
put
in
practice
,
and
erected
all
in
one
day
by
the
Ministers
together
with
the
people
:
whom
those
Disciplinarians
bragged
●o
be
already
enflamed
with
zeal
to
lend
so
many
thousand
hands
,
for
the
advancement
of
their
Cause
.
In
their
publick
Sermons
and
Exhorcations
(
as
in
their
private
Conventicles
)
they
did
alienate
the
hearts
of
their
Auditors
from
all
obedience
of
the
Ecclesiastical
Magistrates
.
As
namely
Mr.
Cartwright
:
who
also
in
his
prayer
before
his
Sermons
,
used
thus
to
say
:
Because
they
(
meaning
the
Bishops
)
which
ought
to
be
pillars
in
the
Church
,
do
band
themselves
against
Christ
and
his
truth
;
therefore
,
O
Lord
,
give
us
grace
and
power
,
all
as
one
man
,
to
set
our selves
against
them
.
Which
words
,
by
way
of
Emphasts
,
he
would
often
repeat
.
And
doth
not
●dall
threaren
,
that
the
Presbytery
shall
prevail
,
and
come
in
by
that
way
and
means
,
as
shall
make
all
their
hearts
to
ake
,
that
shall
withstand
or
hinder
the
same
.
23.
Great
was
the
temper
and
moderation
of
the
good
Arch-bishop
in
handling
these
b●sines●es
.
In
his
time
Brown
was
changed
from
his
fansies
,
and
afterwards
obtained
a
Benefice
called
Achurch
in
North-Hamptonshire
,
where
he
became
a
painfull
Preacher
.
He
did
not
,
though
he
might
have
blemished
with
her
Majesty
the
reputations
of
some
in
great
place
for
favouring
the
Libellers
and
Libels
,
which
had
stowage
and
vent
in
their
Chambers
.
He
procured
at
her
Majesties
hands
both
pardon
and
dismission
for
Mr.
Cartwright
and
the
rest
out
of
their
troubles
.
For
which
Mr.
Cartwright
held
himself
much
obliged
,
and
in
his
letters
acknowledgeth
his
bond
of
most
humble
duty
so
much
the
straiter
,
because
his
Graces
favour
proceeded
from
a
frank
disposition
,
without
any
desert
of
his
own
.
24.
The
Arch-bishop
hath
been
heard
to
say
,
That
if
Mr.
Cartwright
had
not
so
far
engaged
himself
,
as
he
did
,
in
the
beginning
,
he
thought
verily
,
he
would
in
his
later
time
have
been
drawn
to
Comformity
.
For
,
when
he
was
freed
from
his
troubles
he
often
repaired
to
the
Arch-bishop
,
who
used
him
kindly
,
and
was
contented
to
tolerate
his
preaching
in
Warwick
divers
years
,
upon
his
promise
that
he
would
not
impugn
the
laws
,
orders
and
government
in
this
Church
of
England
,
but
perswade
and
procure
,
so
much
as
he
could
,
both
publickly
and
privately
,
the
estimation
and
peace
of
the
same
.
Which
albeit
he
accordingly
performed
,
yet
when
her
Majesty
understood
by
others
,
that
Mr.
Cartwright
did
preach
again
(
though
temperately
,
according
to
his
promise
made
to
the
Arch-bishop
:
)
She
would
by
no
means
endure
his
preaching
any
longer
without
subscription
;
and
grew
not
a
little
offended
with
the
Arch-bishop
for
such
conniving
at
him
.
Not
long
after
Mr.
Cartwright
dyed
rich
,
as
it
was
said
,
by
the
benevolence
and
bounty
of
his
followers
.
25.
An.
1592.
After
the
death
of
Sir
Christopher
H●tton
,
Sir
John
Puckering
was
made
Lord
Keeper
,
who
shewed
himself
a
friend
to
the
Church
,
to
the
Arch-bishop
and
his
proceedings
,
and
acknowledged
him
a
furtherer
of
his
Advancement
.
Sir
Thomas
Egerton
Master
of
the
Rolles
succeeded
him
,
6.
May.
1596.
a
lover
of
learning
,
and
a
most
constant
favourer
of
the
Clergy
and
Church-government
established
:
as
also
a
faithfull
loving
friend
to
the
Arch-bishop
in
all
his
affairs
:
In
so
much
as
after
his
advancement
to
that
honour
,
and
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
and
the
Arch-bishop
concurred
together
,
being
also
further
strengthned
by
the
friendship
and
love
of
Sir
Robert
Cecil
Principal
Secretary
,
he
began
to
be
fully
revived
again
.
And
her
Majesty
finding
in
him
a
zealous
care
,
and
faithfull
performance
of
his
duty
,
laid
the
burthen
of
the
Church
upon
his
shoulders
,
telling
him
:
That
,
if
any
thing
went
amiss
,
be
it
upon
his
soul
and
conscience
to
answer
it
:
for
she
had
rid
her
hands
,
and
looked
that
he
should
yeeld
an
account
,
on
her
behalf
,
to
Almighty
God
.
26.
And
now
,
though
the
Arch-bishop
was
in
this
singular
favour
and
grace
with
his
Majesty
,
so
that
he
did
all
in
all
for
the
managing
of
Clergy-affairs
,
and
disposing
of
Bishopricks
,
and
other
Ecclesiastical
promotions
;
yet
was
he
never
puffed
up
with
pride
,
nor
did
any
thing
violently
against
any
man
.
For
he
ever
observed
this
rule
,
That
he
would
not
wound
,
where
he
could
not
salve
.
So
that
it
was
truly
noted
by
the
Earl
of
Salisbury
a
great
Counsellour
,
in
the
Star-chamber
when
Pickering
was
there
censured
for
libelling
against
him
after
his
death
:
That
there
was
nothing
more
to
be
feared
in
his
Government
(
especially
toward
his
later
time
)
then
his
mildnesse
and
clemency
.
And
some
younger
spirits
were
of
opinion
that
he
was
much
to
blame
in
that
kind
,
and
sometimes
would
be
bold
to
tell
him
:
That
he
knew
not
his
own
strength
with
her
Majesty
.
27.
As
you
may
perceive
his
clemency
towards
the
irregular
sort
,
so
,
towards
the
conformable
,
he
was
carried
with
an
exceeding
tender
respect
and
kindnesse
.
He
loved
a
learned
Minister
,
vertuous
and
honest
,
with
all
his
heart
,
framing
himself
unto
that
rule
of
Aristotle
,
which
directeth
a
good
Magistrate
,
to
be
as
carefull
in
encouraging
good
men
according
to
their
merits
,
as
in
punishing
the
bad
according
to
the
quality
of
their
offenses
.
If
he
found
a
Scholar
of
extraordinary
gifts
or
hopes
,
that
out
of
wants
grew
discontented
,
and
enclined
to
Popery
or
Puritanism
(
as
most
of
their
discontentments
and
way-wardnesse
proceedeth
thence
)
him
would
he
gain
both
with
supplies
of
mony
out
of
his
purse
,
and
preferments
of
his
own
gift
,
or
otherwise
as
opportunity
served
.
28.
Neither
was
his
Bounty
wanting
to
men
of
learning
and
quality
of
forrein
Countries
.
Sundry
times
sent
he
mony
to
Mr.
Beza
out
of
his
own
purse
,
besides
the
general
Collections
for
Geneva
.
Upon
which
occasion
many
letters
passed
between
them
.
In
his
letter
Mar.
8.
1591.
Beza
confesseth
:
That
he
never
intended
to
touch
,
or
impugne
the
Ecclesiastical
policy
of
this
Church
of
England
,
nor
to
exact
of
us
to
frame
our selves
or
our
Church
to
the
pattern
of
their
Presbyterial
Discipline
,
&c.
That
as
Queen
Elizabeth
was
the
true
nursing
Mother
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
so
England
and
our
English
Church
was
both
the
harbour
of
the
Godly
,
and
the
preserver
of
all
other
Reformed
Churches
.
So
far
was
he
also
from
esteeming
the
Arch-bishop
an
Antichristian
Prelate
,
as
he
never
omitted
to
term
him
,
A
most
Reverend
Father
in
Christ
,
and
his
most
honoured
good
Lord
.
I
wish
that
our
Disciplinarians
,
who
seem
to
direct
themselves
by
the
rule
of
Geneva
,
would
learn
thus
to
Discipline
their
tongues
with
him
,
and
imitate
his
Modesty
.
29.
Although
Monsieur
Buse
,
a
French
Minister
,
who
read
weekly
a
Lecture
in
Latin
in
his
Chappel
,
by
his
French
pronunciation
and
want
of
good
delivery
,
did
somewhat
blemish
the
goodnesse
of
the
matter
which
he
handled
,
yet
the
Arch-bishops
property
ever
was
,
to
cherish
and
encourage
him
,
and
all
others
that
preached
before
him
,
and
was
never
heard
to
give
the
Preacher
distast
,
but
rather
would
commend
,
or
excuse
him
against
other
mens
censures
;
saying
,
If
he
were
young
,
better
experience
would
correct
his
defaults
:
and
if
he
were
in
years
,
he
was
in
that
respect
to
be
borne
withall
:
alledging
for
both
,
that
some
would
take
exceptions
sometimes
,
rather
to
satisfy
their
own
too
much
curiosity
,
then
for
any
just
cause
of
dislike
in
the
Preacher
.
30.
As
his
continual
endeavours
were
to
reward
those
of
best
gifts
,
and
to
encourage
those
of
meaner
;
so
(
as
often
as
Church
and
State-affairs
gave
him
leave
)
he
was
industrious
in
propounding
wholesome
Doctrine
to
the
people
,
and
a
worthy
pattern
of
true
Divinity
and
diligence
unto
all
others
of
the
Clergy
.
When
he
was
Bishop
of
Worcester
(
unlesse
extraordinary
businesses
of
the
Marches
of
Wales
hinder'd
him
)
he
never
failed
to
preach
upon
every
Lords-day
;
many
times
riding
five
or
six
miles
to
a
Parish-Church
,
and
after
Sermon
came
home
to
dinner
.
The
like
he
did
also
when
he
was
Arch-bishop
,
and
lay
at
Croydon
,
the
Queen
being
in
her
Progresse
.
No
Sunday
escaped
him
in
Kent
,
where
the
Gentlemen
would
exceedingly
resort
unto
him
:
and
he
would
often
preach
so
early
in
the
morning
in
some
Parish-Church
,
both
in
Worcester
and
Canterbury
,
that
he
came
afterwards
to
the
Sermon
in
the
Cathedral-Church
.
31.
His
gift
that
way
was
excellent
,
as
if
you
had
heard
Saint
Augustine
himself
,
or
some
of
the
ancient
Bishops
in
the
primitive
Church
:
his
gesture
and
action
in
the
Pulpit
so
grave
and
decent
,
his
words
coming
from
him
so
fatherly
and
comely
,
and
though
plainly
(
for
the
most
part
)
and
without
affectation
,
yet
alwayes
elegantly
,
with
special
choice
,
and
substantial
matter
,
full
of
good
and
sound
learning
;
plentifull
in
Authorities
out
of
Scripture
,
Fathers
and
Schoolmen
,
so
singularly
applied
,
that
he
much
affected
his
Auditory
therewith
.
And
his
pious
life
was
answerable
to
his
religious
Sentences
.
He
never
preached
,
but
he
first
wrote
his
notes
in
Latin
,
and
afterward
kept
them
during
his
life
.
For
he
would
say
,
that
whosoever
took
that
pains
before
his
preaching
,
the
older
he
waxed
,
the
better
he
should
discharge
that
duty
;
but
if
he
trusted
only
to
his
memory
,
his
preaching
in
time
would
become
pratling
.
32.
When
he
was
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
he
did
much
good
also
by
his
often
conference
and
conventing
of
the
Papists
,
whom
he
used
with
mild
and
temperate
speeches
,
and
thereby
got
many
of
them
to
conform
themselves
,
both
Gentlemen
and
others
:
whereby
,
as
at
his
first
coming
he
found
many
Recusants
,
so
he
left
very
few
at
his
coming
thence
.
Immediately
after
he
came
to
be
Archbishop
,
he
convented
before
him
the
chiefest
,
and
most
learned
Recusants
throughout
all
England
:
He
also
wrote
letters
to
the
Bishops
,
his
brethren
,
within
the
Province
of
Canterbury
,
to
proceed
with
the
Recusants
by
their
Authority
Ecclesiastical
,
and
censures
of
the
Church
,
and
called
yearly
upon
them
for
an
account
of
their
doings
.
33.
An.
1600.
In
the
time
of
Essex's
disloyalty
,
the
Arch-bishop
sent
threescore
men
well
armed
to
shew
themselves
before
the
Court
:
of
whose
arrival
Secretary
Cecil
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Lords
of
the
Council
were
right
glad
,
and
said
He
was
a
most
worthy
Prelate
.
They
had
speedily
a
leader
appointed
them
,
and
marched
presently
,
and
were
the
first
that
entred
into
the
Gates
of
Essex
house
:
and
in
the
first
Court
made
good
the
place
untill
the
Earl
yeelded
himself
,
and
was
by
the
Lord
Admiral
brought
to
Lambeth
house
,
where
he
remained
an
hour
or
two
,
and
was
from
thence
conveyed
to
the
Tower
.
The
Arch
▪
bishop
had
like●ise
in
readinesse
fourty
Horse-men
well
appointed
,
and
expected
directions
from
the
Court
,
how
to
dispose
of
them
.
The
next
morning
,
he
sent
a
Gentleman
to
know
how
the
Queen
did
,
and
how
she
rested
all
night
.
To
whom
she
made
Answer
,
That
she
rested
and
slept
the
better
for
his
care
the
day
before
:
but
I
beshrew
his
heart
(
said
she
)
he
would
not
believe
this
of
Essex
,
though
I
had
often
told
him
,
it
would
,
one
day
,
thus
come
to
passe
.
But
indeed
,
the
Queens
own
recommendation
of
the
Earl
had
wrought
that
good
opinion
of
him
in
the
Arch-bishop
.
An.
1602.

dyed
Queen
Elizabeth
.
And
although
the
Arch
bishop
was
much
dejected
and
grieved
for
the
losse
of
his
dear
Soveraign
and
Mistress
,
who
had
so
highly
advanced
him
:
yet
he
with
the
rest
of
the
Lords
,
repaired
immediately
to
Whitehall
,
and
after
two
hours
sitting
in
Council
,
about
the
penning
of
the
Proclamation
,
He
principally
(
as
his
place
required
)
with
a
cheerfull
countenance
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Lords
in
like
sort
,
accompanying
him
,
first
at
the
Court
gate
at
Whitehall
,
with
the
applause
and
unspeakable
comfort
of
all
the
people
,
proclaimed
her
most
rightfull
Successor
,
King
James
.
Afterwards
in
like
cheerfull
sort
,
the
Arch-bishop
with
the
rest
of
the
Lords
,
trouped
up
to
the
Cross
in
Cheapside
,
and
there
with
like
acclamation
of
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Citizens
proclaimed
him
again
.
The
People
and
Citizens
took
great
comfort
in
the
presence
of
the
Arch-bishop
,
as
if
they
nothing
doubted
,
but
that
all
went
well
for
the
State
in
that
Council
,
among
whom
He
was
present
.
35.
Besides
the
pains
,
which
he
took
himself
,
many
years
,
with
a
number
of
worthy
young
Gentlemen
in
reading
to
them
thrice
a
day
,
he
took
into
his
house
,
besides
his
Chaplains
,
divers
of
quality
to
instruct
them
in
the
Mathematicks
,
and
other
Lectures
of
sundry
Arts
and
Languages
;
giving
them
good
allowance
and
preferments
otherwise
,
as
occasion
was
offered
.
And
besides
the
many
poor
Scholars
,
whom
he
kept
in
his
house
till
he
could
provide
for
them
,
and
prefer
them
,
he
also
maintained
divers
in
the
University
,
at
his
own
charge
.
36.
He
kept
also
for
the
exercise
of
Military
Discipline
,
a
godly
Armory
,
and
a
fair
Stable
of
great
Horses
:
insomuch
as
he
was
able
to
arme
at
all
points
both
horse
and
foot
,
and
divers
times
had
one
hundred
foot
,
and
fifty
horse
of
his
own
servants
mustered
and
trayned
:
for
which
purpose
he
entertained
Captains
,
&c.
His
house
,
for
the
Lectures
and
Scholastick
exercises
therein
performed
,
might
justly
be
accounted
a
little
Academy
,
and
in
some
respects
superiour
,
&c.
His
Domestick
Chaplains
,
both
before
and
since
his
death
,
attained
to
the
chiefest
honours
and
dignities
in
our
Church
and
Common-wealth
;
namely
,
Bancroft
,
Ravis
,
Barlow
,
&c.
37.
He
carried
himself
with
great
Resolution
and
courage
in
the
determination
of
Causes
belonging
to
his
proper
Cognizance
.
When
a
Gentleman
of
good
note
told
him
once
,
that
the
Lords
of
the
Council
were
of
another
opinion
then
his
Grace
:
What
tellest
thou
me
(
said
the
Arch-bishop
)
of
the
Lords
of
the
Council
?
I
tell
thee
,
they
are
in
these
Cases
to
be
advised
by
us
,
and
not
we
by
them
.
He
would
upon
such
occasions
oftentimes
say
unto
his
private
friends
,
toward
his
later
time
:
That
two
things
did
help
much
to
make
a
man
confident
in
good
causes
:
namely
,
Orbitas
&
Senectus
:
and
(
said
he
)
they
steed
me
both
.
38.
He
gave
Audience
unto
Suitors
twice
a
day
,
and
afforded
them
set
hours
for
their
dispatch
:
at
which
time
,
he
would
so
courteously
intreat
them
,
giving
so
mild
and
gentle
Answers
,
that
even
they
that
sped
not
in
their
suits
,
did
depart
without
discontentment
.
Wherein
I
may
justly
compare
him
unto
Titus
,
qui
neminem
unquam
à
se
tristem
dimisit
.
He
often
feasted
the
Clergy
,
Nobility
,
and
Gentry
of
his
Diocess
and
Neighbourhood
:
at
Christmas
,
especially
,
his
Gates
were
alwayes
open
,
and
his
Hall
set
twice
or
thrice
over
with
strangers
.
Every
year
,
he
entertained
the
Queen
at
one
of
his
houses
(
and
some
years
twice
or
thrice
)
who
besides
other
favours
,
would
bid
him
Farewell
by
the
name
of
her
Black
Husband
,
&c.
39.
His
Charity
is
testifyed
by
that
notable
Monument
,
his
Hospital
of
the
blessed
Trinity
in
Croydon
,
which
he
built
very
fair
and
Colledge-wise
,
for
a
Warden
and
eight
and
twenty
Brothers
and
Sisters
.
He
builded
also
near
unto
it
a
goodly
free
School
,
with
a
School-masters
house
,
allowing
to
the
School-master
twenty
pounds
by
year
for
ever
.
And
when
he
had
finished
and
done
the
whole
work
,
he
found
himself
no
worse
in
his
estate
,
then
when
he
first
began
,
which
he
ascribed
unto
the
extraordinary
blessing
and
goodnesse
of
God
.
After
which
,
when
the
French
Ambassador
(
by
whom
he
was
reputed
a
peerlesse
Prelate
for
piety
and
learning
,
)
enquiring
what
Books
he
had
written
,
was
told
,
He
had
only
published
certain
Books
in
the
English
tongue
,
in
defence
of
the
Ecclesiastical
Government
,
and
that
he
had
founded
an
Hospital
and
a
School
:
The
Embassador
replyed
,
Profecto
Hospitale
ad
sublevandam
paupertatem
,
&
Schola

,

V.
Mr
RICHARD
HOOKER
.
Out
of
his
life
,
written
by
the
R.
R.
Bishop
of
Exeter
,
Dr
Gauden
.
1.
HE
was
born
in
the
West
,
either
in
,
or
not
far
from
the
City
of
Exeter
,
An.
1550.
(
A
Country
that
is
,
as
Mr
Cambden
observes
,
ferax
ingeniorum
.
)
But
with
what
presages
of
his
future
eminency
,
there
is
not
any
notice
to
be
had
.
One
of
his
Vncles
,
was
Chamberlain
of
Exeter
,
in
Mr
Hookers
Youth
,
and
contributed
both
care
and
cost
toward
his
Education
in
the
free
School
there
.
His
Parents
need
no
other
monument
of
honour
,
then
this
,
that
they
were
blessed
with
so
worthie
a
Son
.
2.
This
excellent
Person
had
a
body
and
soul
every
way
so
adjusted
and
suited
to
each
other
,
that
they
were
like
meet
pairs
happily
married
together
,
and
living
peaceably
.
His
outward
aspect
and
carriage
was
rather
comely
than
Cou●tly
,
his
looks
alwaies
grave
and
reserved
:
his
soul
more
looking
inward
then
exspatiating
at
his
eyes
,
or
taking
the
outward
prospect
of
his
senses
.
He
went
alwaies
,
as
if
he
meditated
some
great
and
good
design
:
what
he
designed
he
industriously
acted
,
without
affectation
or
ostentation
.
3.
His
words
were
alwaies
sober
and
well-ordered
:
not
more
in
number
,
then
weight
.
He
was
like
an
hive
full
of
honey
,
of
a
plain
outside
,
and
a
narrow
accesse
and
orifice
,
but
heavy
,
as
having
in
him
all
manner
of
good
literatute
,
industriously
gathered
and
aptly
digested
.
His
friends
or
Confidents
were
few
,
but
choise
,
as
one
that
had
no
great
opinion
of
himself
,
nor
sought
the
applause
of
others
.
4.
While
he
continued
in
Corpus
Christi
Colledge
,
few
men
of
any
note
in
either
University
,
but
promised
more
than
he
did
,
as
to
any
great
and
publick
undertaking
:
not
that
he
wanted
a
publick
spirit
,
or
excellent
Abilities
in
nature
and
education
:
but
he
was
so
locked
up
and
reserved
by
a
natural
modestie
,
and
self-distrust
,
that
he
seemed
to
think
it
reward
sufficient
to
have
the
conscience
of
weldoing
,
and
pleasure
enough
,
to
see
himself
dayly
profit
in
his
studies
;
and
preferment
even
to
envy
,
to
enjoy
vertue
,
though
never
so
cloistred
and
confined
to
his
own
breast
.
5.
Mr
Hooker
did
not
look
upon
the
ease
and
●uietnesse
of
a
Colledge
life
,
as
the
ultimate
design
of
his
studies
:
nor
did
he
say
with
the
Apostle
,
It
is
good
to
be
here
,
as
in
a
settled
Tabernacle
;
but
gently
embraced
those
small
offers
of
Ministerial
Employments
in
the
Country
,
which
were
made
to
him
,
by
such
as
thought
them
somewhat
proportionate
,
if
not
to
his
worth
and
learning
,
yet
to
that
humble
plainnesse
and
simplicity
of
his
Genius
and
mode
of
living
.
His
first
living
was
Boscomb
in
the
West
,
to
which
the
Colledge
presented
him
:
his
next
in
Lincolnshire
,
called
Drayton
Beauchamp
,
An.
1584.
6.
The
●oise
,
which
some
Non-Conformists
made
,
kept
this
good
Country
Parson
awake
;
who
,
however
he
could
bear
with
patience
and
silence
the
reproaches
cast
upon
himself
as
a
private
man
,
yet
he
thought
it
stupor
to
hear
,
without
just
indignation
,
his
Mother
reviled
by
ungrateful
children
.
Hence
sprang
that
excellent
work
of
the
Ecclesiastical
Politie
.
Wherein
,
he
hath
justly
obtained
this
Encomium
from
all
intelligent
Readers
,
That
never
any
man
undertook
a
better
cause
(
since
the
antient
conflicts
of
the
Fathers
)
nor
handled
it
with
an
honester
heart
,
an
abler
judgment
,
or
an
eloquenter
stile
.
7.
His
first
five
Books
he
lived
to
publish
:
providence
in
time
brought
forth
those
esteemed
Abortive
,
the
three
last
Books
,
with
such
lineaments
of
their
fathers
virtue
and
vigour
on
them
,
that
they
may
be
easily
and
justly
owned
for
genuin
:
although
they
had
not
the
last
politure
of
their
Parents
hand
:
The
seventh
book
,
by
comparing
the
writing
of
it
with
other
indisputable
papers
,
or
known
Manuscripts
of
Mr
Hooker's
,
is
undoubtedly
his
o●n
hand
throughout
:
The
eighth
is
written
by
another
hand
(
as
a
Copy
)
but
interlined
in
many
places
with
Mr
Hooker's
own
characters
,
as
owned
by
him
.
8.
An.
1592.
He
had
the
Dignities
of
a
Prebend
in
Salisburie
and
the
Subdeanrie
bestowed
on
him
:
and
by
the
Queen
he
was
preferred
to
be
Master
of
the
Temple
,
i.
e.
the
publick
preacher
in
that
great
Auditory
,
which
requires
an
excellent
preacher
,
and
where
he
may
well
deserve
an
honourable
maintenance
.
Mr
Travers
was
popularly
chosen
by
the
Societie
to
be
Lecturer
in
the
afternoon
,
a
man
of
esteemed
piety
and
good
learning
,
but
a
Non-conformist
.
In
comparison
of
whom
,
Mr
Hooker
was
much
undervalued
by
the
vulgar
hearers
.
9.
These
two
,
although
they
differed
in
some
matters
,
yet
they
corresponded
in
the
main
of
sound
Doctrine
and
holy
life
:
like
generous
rivals
,
they
honoured
and
loved
what
they
saw
good
in
one
another
.
Hence
that
very
worthy
speech
of
Mr
Travers
,
when
being
asked
,
what
he
thought
of
some
vile
aspersion
cast
upon
Mr
Hooker
;
he
answered
,
In
truth
,
I
take
Mr
Hooker
to
be
a
very
holy
man
.
10.
An.
1594.
He
was
removed
to
his
last
station
at
Bishopsburn
in
Kent
,
and
was
made
also
Prebend
of
Canterburie
by
the
favour
of
the
Archbishop
Whitgift
,
whose
valiant
and
able
Second
he
was
in
that
Conflict
,
which
he
so
notably
maintained
against
the
Disciplinarian
faction
,
or
the
unruly
Non-conformists
.
11.
This
was
the
period
of
Mr
Hooker's
promotion
,
much
below
indeed
his
merit
,
but
adequate
,
it
seems
,
to
the
retirednesse
of
his
temper
,
and
most
suitable
to
the
policies
of
those
times
,
where
Church-Governors
were
to
be
rather
active
than
contemplative
spirits
.
And
from
this
something
rising
,
but
not
very
high
ground
,
did
this
excellent
person
take
his
ascent
and
rise
to
heaven
,
the
onely
preferment
worthie
of
him
,
dying
with
great
comfort
at
his
parsonage
in
Kent
about
50
years
old
,
An.
1599
,
saies
Mr
Camden
,
An.
1603
,
saies
his
Monument
.
He
was
interred
in
the
Chancel
of
Bishopsbourn
,
where
a
fair
Marble
and
Alabaster
Monument
(
no
way
violated
or
deformed
in
all
our
late
years
of
confusion
)
was
long
after
erected
to
his
Memory
,

1634.

A
Letter
(
which
is
here
answered
)
was
published
by
certain
Protestants
(
as
they
term
themselves
)
which
I
hear
(
how
true
I
know
not
)
is
translated
into
other
tongues
:
This
they
presume
hath
given
that
wound
,
to
that
reverend
and
learned
man
,
that
it
was
not
the
least
cause
to
procure
his
death
.
But
it
is
far
otherwise
:
for
he
contemned
it
in
his
wisdom
(
as
it
was
fit
)
and
yet
in
his
humilitie
would
have
answered
it
,
if
he
had
lived
.
—
But
first
of
all
he
was
loth
to
entermeddle
with
so
weak
adversaries
,
thinking
it
unfit
(
as
himself
said
)
that
a
man
that
hath
a
long
journie
,
should
turn
back
to
beat
every
barking
curre
;
and
having
taken
it
in
hand
,
his
urgent
and
greater
affairs
,
together
with
the
want
of
strength
,
weakned
with
much
labour
,
would
not
give
him
time
to
see
it
finished
.
—
Death
hath
taken
from
us
a
sweet
friend
,
a
wise
Counsellour
,
and
a
strong
Champion
.
Others
are
fit
enough
to
live
in
the
midst
of
errour
,
vanitie
,
unthankfulnesse
and
deceit
,
but
he
was
too
good
.

As
,
profoundly
to
judge
with
sound
variety
of
all
learning
,
was
common
to
him
with
divers
others
;
so
,
to
expresse
what
he
conceived
,
in
th●
eloquence
of
a
most
pure
stile
,
was
the
felicity
almost
of
himself
alone
.
That
honourable
Knight
Sr
Philip
Sidney
,
gave
a
tast
in
an
Argument
of
Recreation
,
how
well
that
style
would
befit
an
Argument
of
a
graver
Subject
:
which
it
may
be
is
more
unpleasing
in
the
tast
of
some
,
because
the
manner
is
learned
,
and
the
subject
is
not
agreeing
to
their
humour
.
Doubtlesse
the
perfecting
of
a
style
,
and
especially
of
our
English
style
(
which
,
in
my
opinion
,
refuseth
not
the
purest
ornaments
of
any
language
)
hath
many
mo
helps
,
than
those
honourable
places
of
learning
,
the
Vniversities
can
afford
.
And
therefore
in
those
things
which
they
conceive
(
and
some
of
them
conceive
much
)
there
are
found
in
the
Princes
Court
,
divers
most
purely
eloquent
,
whom
even
the
best
in
the
Universities
may
despair
to
imitate
.
And
(
if
I
may
speak
without
offence
)
I
am
fully
perswaded
,
that
Mr
Hookers
stile
(
if
he
had
had
lesse
learning
:
a
strange
fault
:
for
the
weight
of
his
learning
made
it
too
heavy
)
had
been
incomparably
the
best
that
ever
was
written
in
our
Church
.
If
our
English
storie
had
been
born
to
that
●appinesse
,
ever
to
have
been
attired
in
such
rich
ornaments
,
she
might
worthily
have
bin
entertained
in
the
best
Courts
that
the
World
hath
.
But
all
Countries
know
our
actions
have
been
better
done
,
then
they
have
been
told
.
14.
His
Arguments
,
you
say
,
are
found
in
the
Answer
of
that
Reverend
Father
unto
Mr
Cartwright
.
If
there
were
no
difference
,
yet
the
consent
of
their
Arguments
were
reason
enough
for
you
to
allow
Mr
Hooker
,
seeing
you
h●ve
given
your
approbation
of
the
works
of
that
most
Reverend
Father
:
(
whose
worthinesse
,
no
doubt
,
can
receive
little
honour
from
your
praise
:
)
yet
you
know
,
that
the
whole
subject
of
Mr
Hooker's
first
four
Books
,
is
an
argument
,
as
,
full
of
learning
,
so
directly
heretofore
not
handled
by
any
,
that
I
know
.
Concerning
those
three
Books
of
his
,
which
from
his
own
mouth
I
am
informed
that
they
were
finisht
,
I
know
not
in
whose
hands
they
are
,
nor
whether
the
Church
shall
be
bettered
by
so
excellent
a
work
.
For
;
as
the
Church
might
have
been
happy
,
if
he
had
lived
to
have
written
more
,
so
she
were
not
altogether
so
much
harmed
,
if
she
might
but
enjoy
,
what
he
hath
written
.

The
government
of
his
passions
was
in
his
own
power
,
and
he
was
able
to
rule
them
.
For
he
was
truly
of
a
mild
spirit
,
and
an
humble
heart
;
and
abounding
in
all
other
virtues
.
Yet
he
specially
excelled
in
the
grace
of
Meeknesse
.
The
Gravitie
of
his
looks
,
was
cleered
by
those
that
did
sit
or
converse
with
him
;
least
he
should
be
burdensome
unto
them
;
but
a
full
laughter
few
ever
discovered
in
him
.
Some
such
our
church
had
in
all
ages
,
a
few
now
alive
,
which
are
her
ornament
,
if
she
can
use
them
well
,
but
more
that
are
dead
,
whom
she
ought
to
praise
.
For
all
these
were
honourable
men
in
their
generations
,
&c.
*
While
this
was
under
the
Printers
hand
,
I
had
the
happinesse
to
be
in
Dr
Pococks
company
,
(
sometimes
Fellow
of
C.
C.
C.
)
and
heard
him
,
amongst
other
good
Discourse
,
tell
a
story
of
Hooker
to
this
effect
:
That
He
,
with
some
others
of
the
colledge
,
journeying
on
foot
(
as
the
manner
then
was
)
into
their
country
,
by
the
way
visited
Bishop
Jewel
(
sometime
of
the
same
Coll.
)
The
Bishop
understanding
some
Scholars
desired
to
see
him
,
(
or
as
we
now
speak
more
courtly
)
to
wait
upon
his
Lordship
;
said
,
They
should
be
welcome
.
It
was
added
,
They
were
of
Corpus
Christi
:
They
shall
be
the
more
wellcome
to
me
,
said
the
Bishop
.
To
omit
the
rest
of
their
entertainment
,
when
the
Scholars
took
their
leave
,
the
Bishop
gave
them
,
every
one
a
viaticum
,
some
money
to
bear
their
charges
,
and
especially
to
Hooker
:
upon
whom
also
,
he
pleasantly
said
,
he
would
bestow
his
own
Nag
,
and
brought
forth
,
and
gave
him
an
old
staff
,
which
had
been
his
companion
in
his
Travel
.
—
Te
nunc
habet
iste
secundum
.
Had
I
that
staff
,
I
should
esteem
it
no
lesse
than
a
very
Sacred
Relique
.

Dr.
LANCELOT
ANDREWES
Bishop
of
Winchester
.
Out
of
his
Funeral
Sermon
by
John
Bishop
of
Ely
.
1.
HE
was
born
in
the
City
of
London
,
of
honest
and
godly
Parents
;
who
besides
his
breeding
in
learning
,
left
him
a
sufficient
Patrimony
and
inheritance
,
which
is
descended
to
his
heir
,
at
Rawreth
in
Essex
.
2.
His
life
was
well
composed
and
ordered
ever
from
his
child-hood
.
In
his
tenderest
years
,
he
shewed
such
readinesse
and
sharpnesse
of
wit
and
capacity
,
that
his
two
first
Masters
(
Mr.
Ward
and
Mr.
Mulcaster
)
contended
for
him
,
who
should
have
the
honour
of
his
breeding
,
that
after
became
the
honour
of
their
Schools
,
and
all
Learning
.

4.
Their
pains
and
care
he
so
carefully
remembred
all
his
life
long
,
that
he
studied
alwaies
how
to
do
good
to
them
and
theirs
.
In
which
gratefulnesse
he
promoted
Dr.
Ward
to
the
Parsonage
of
Waltham
:
and
ever
loved
and
honoured
his
Master
Mulcaster
during
his
life
;
and
was
a
continual
helper
to
him
and
his
Son
.
And
as
if
he
had
made
Mr.
Mulcaster
his
Tutor
or
Supervisor
,
he
placed
his
picture
over
the
door
of
his
study
:
whereas
in
all
the
rest
of
the
house
you
could
scantly
see
a
picture
.

From
Mr.
Mulcaster
he
went
to
Cambridge
,
to
Pembroke
Hall
,
and
was
there
admitted
one
of
Dr.
Wats
Scholars
:
(
a
notable
Grammarian
,
well
entred
in
the
Latin
,
Greek
,
and
Hebrew
tongues
,
and
likewise
in
Geometry
,
and
some
of
the
Mathematicks
:
)
and
after
,
a
Fellow
there
,
in
which
he
passed
over
all
Degrees
and
places
in
such
sort
,
that
he
ever
seemed
worthy
of
higher
,
and
would
in
the
end
attain
the
highest
:
for
his
abilities
and
vertues
were
mature
and
ripe
for
greater
employments
.
6.
He
often
lamented
that
he
never
could
find
a
fit
opportunity
to
shew
his
thankfulnesse
to
Dr.
Wats
,
his
Patron
,
nor
to
any
of
his
Posterity
.
Yet
he
did
not
utterly
forget
him
in
his
will
,
having
ordered
that
the
two
Fellowships
to
be
founded
by
him
in
Pembroke-Hall
,
should
alwaies
be
chosen
and
filled
,
out
of
the
Scholars
of
Dr.
Wats
Foundation
(
if
they
were
found
fit
)
of
which
himself
had
been
one
.
7.
Being
in
holy
Orders
,
he
attended
the
noble
and
zealous
Henry
Earl
of
Huntington
,
President
of
York
,
and
was
employed
by
him
in
often
preaching
and
conference
with
Recusants
,
both
of
the
Clergy
and
Laity
:
In
which
God
so
blest
his
endeavours
that
he
converted
many
.
8.
After
this
Mr.
Secretary
Walsingham
takes
notice
of
him
,
and
obtained
him
of
the
Earl
,
intending
his
preferment
,
in
which
he
would
never
permit
him
to
take
any
Country-benefice
,
lest
he
and
his
great
learning
should
be
buried
in
a
Country-Church
.
His
intent
was
to
make
him
Reader
of
Controversies
in
Cambridge
,
and
for
his
maintenance
he
assigned
to
him
(
as
I
am
informed
)
the
lease
of
the
Parsonage
of
Alton
in
Hampshire
:
which
after
his
death
he
returned
to
his
Lady
;
which
she
never
knew
or
thought
of
.
9.
After
this
he
obtained
the
Vicaridge
of
S.
Giles
without
Creeple-gate
,
London
,
and
a
Prebend
Residentiaries
place
in
Pauls
,
and
was
chosen
Master
of
Pembroke-Hall
,
and
afterward
was
advanced
to
the
Deanry
of
Westminster
:
and
all
this
without
any
ambition
or
suite
of
his
own
,
being
promoted
for
his
great
worth
.
10.
His
knowledge
in
the
learned
and
modern
Tongues
,
to
the
number
of
fifteen
in
all
(
as
I
am
informed
)
was
admirable
:
His
Memory
great
:
His
Judgment
profound
:
His
pains
and
Industry
was
infinite
.
In
the
works
he
wrote
,
he
used
no
man
to
read
for
him
(
as
Bellarmine
and
others
employed
whole
Colledges
to
read
and
study
for
them
:
)
he
only
used
an
Amanuensis
,
to
transcribe
that
,
which
himself
had
first
written
with
his
own
hand
.
11.
As
he
was
himself
most
learned
,
so
he
was
a
singular
lover
and
encourager
of
Learned
men
:
which
appeareth
in
his
liberality
and
bounty
to
Mr.
Casaubon
,
Mr.
Cluverius
,
Mr.
Vossius
,
Mr.
Grotius
,
Mr.
Erpenius
,
whom
he
attempted
with
the
offer
of
a
very
large
stipend
out
of
his
own
purse
to
draw
into
England
,
to
have
read
and
taught
the
Oriental
Tongues
here
.
12.
When
the
Bishopricks
of
Eli
and
Salisbury
were
void
,
and
some
things
were
to
be
pared
from
them
,
some
overture
being
made
to
him
to
take
them
,
he
refused
them
utterly
:
He
seemed
to
answer
,
Nolo
episcopari
,
quia
nolo
alienare
:
I
will
not
be
made
a
Bishop
,
because
I
will
not
alienate
Bishops
Lands
.
13.
After
this
,
by
some
perswasion
,
he
accepted
of
Chichester
;
yet
with
some
fear
of
the
burthen
:
and
after
that
,
of
Eli
:
and
last
of
this
of
Winchester
.
(
Whence
God
hath
translated
him
to
Heaven
.
)
In
which
he
freed
himself
and
his
Successor
of
a
Pension
of
400
per
an
.
Which
many
of
his
Predecessors
had
paid
.
He
was
Almoner
,
Dean
of
the
Chappel
,
and
a
privy
Counsellor
to
King
James
,
and
King
Charles
:
In
which
he
spake
and
meddled
little
in
Civil
and
temporal
Affairs
,
being
out
of
his
profession
and
element
:
but
in
causes
of
the
Church
he
spake
fully
and
home
.
14.
Wheresoever
he
lived
,
all
places
were
better'd
by
his
providence
and
goodnesse
.
S.
Giles
was
reduced
by
him
to
a
Rate
toward
the
better
maintenance
of
the
place
,
and
the
house
repaired
.
He
found
nothing
in
the
Treasury
in
Pembroke-Hall
:
he
left
it
in
ready
mony
a
thousand
pound
:
being
Prebend
Residentiary
in
Pauls
,
he
built
the
house
in
Creed-Lane
belonging
to
his
Prebend
,
and
recovered
it
to
the
Church
:
he
repaired
the
Dean's
lodging
.
When
he
came
to
Chichester
he
repaired
the
Palace
there
:
at
Eli
,
he
spent
on
the
Bishops
houses
two
thousand
pound
.
Besides
,
he
refused
to
make
some
Leases
in
his
last
years
,
which
might
have
been
very
beneficial
to
him
,
for
the
good
of
his
Successor
.
His
reason
was
,
Many
are
too
ready
to
spoil
Bishopricks
,
and
few
enough
to
uphold
them
.
15.
He
was
alwaies
a
diligent
and
painfull
Preacher
:
most
of
his
Solemn
Sermons
he
was
most
carefull
of
,
and
exact
;
I
dare
say
,
few
of
them
,
but
they
passed
his
hand
and
were
thrice
revised
,
before
they
were
preached
:
and
he
ever
misliked
often
and
loose
preaching
,
without
study
of
Antiquity
:
and
he
would
be
bold
with
himself
and
say
,
When
he
preached
twice
a
day
at
S.
Giles
,
he
prated
once
.
16.
After
he
came
to
have
an
Episcopal
House
with
a
Chappel
,
he
kept
monthly
Communions
inviolably
;
yea
though
himself
had
received
at
the
Court
,
the
same
month
.
In
which
,
his
Carriage
was
not
only
decent
and
religious
,
but
also
exemplary
.
He
ever
offer'd
twice
at
the
Altar
,
and
so
did
every
one
of
his
servants
:
to
which
purpose
he
gave
them
mony
,
lest
it
should
be
burthensome
to
them
.
17.
He
was
such
an
enemy
to
Simony
,
that
he
endured
many
Troubles
by
Quare
impedit
,
and
Duplex
querela
.
As
for
himself
,
he
seldome
gave
a
Benefice
or
Preferment
to
him
that
petition'd
for
it
:
he
rather
sent
for
men
of
note
,
that
he
thought
wanted
preferment
,
and
gave
them
Prebends
and
Benefices
,
under
Seal
,
before
they
knew
of
it
;
as
to
Mr.
Boys
and
Mr.
Fuller
.
18.
Sacriledge
,
he
did
abhor
,
as
one
principal
cause
among
many
,
of
the
forrein
and
civil
Wars
in
Christendom
,
and
invasion
of
the
Turk
.
And
at
home
,
he
wished
some
man
would
take
the
pains
to
collect
,
how
many
Families
,
that
were
raised
by
the
spoils
of
the
Church
are
now
vanished
,
and
the
place
thereof
knows
them
no
more
.
19.
He
was
a
great
Almes-giver
.
When
he
liv'd
at
St.
Giles
,
his
certain
Almes
there
was
ten
pound
per
an
.
paid
quarterly
by
equal
portions
:
and
twelve
pence
every
Sunday
he
came
to
Church
and
five
shillings
at
every
Communion
,
&c.
The
total
of
his
pious
and
charitable
works
mentioned
in
his
will
,
amounts
to
the
sum
of
six
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
six
pound
:
He
gave
in
private
Alms
in
some
few
years
before
his
death
,
to
the
sum
of
one
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
pound
.
20.
A
great
part
of
five
hours
every
day
did
he
spend
in
prayer
and
devotion
to
God
:
and
a
good
while
before
he
sickned
he
spent
all
his
time
in
prayer
:
and
in
the
time
of
his
sicknesse
he
continually
prayed
,
until
it
pleased
God
to
receive
his
blessed
Soul
to
himself
.

BROVNRIG
Bishop
of
Exeter
.
Out
of
Doctor
Gauden's
Sermon
at
his
Funeral
.
1.
BIshop
Brounrig
was
a
person
of
that
soundnesse
of
Judgment
,
of
that
conspicuity
for
an
unspotted
life
,
of
that
unsuspected
Integrity
,
that
his
life
was
virtutism
norma
(
as
St.
Jerom
of
Nepotian
)
Ita
in
singulis
virtutibus
eminebat
,
quasi
caeteras
non
habuisset
:
so
eminent
in
every
good
and
perfect
gift
,
as
if
he
had
had
but
one
onely
.
I
never
heard
of
any
thing
said
by
him
,
which
a
wise
and
good
man
would
have
wished
unsaid
or
undone
;
yet
I
had
the
happinesse
to
know
him
above
thirty
years
.
2.
The
spring
of
this
so
fair
,
so
deep
,
so
clear
,
so
noble
a
stream
of
Learning
,
Piety
and
Wisdom
,
was
at
Ipswich
,
a
Town
of
good
note
in
Suffolk
:
where
he
was
born
An.
1592.
His
parents
of
Merchantly
condition
,
of
worthy
reputation
,
and
of
very
Christian
Conversation
.
When
he
was
not
many
weeks
old
,
God
took
away
his
earthly
Father
,
that
himself
might
have
the
more
tender
care
of
the
Orphan
.
By
the
prudence
of
his
pious
Mother
,
his
Youth
and
first
years
of
reason
were
carefully
improved
for
his
breeding
in
all
good
Learning
.
3.
He
was
sent
in
his
fourteenth
year
to
Pembroke-Hall
in
Cambridge
.
There
,
his
Modesty
,
Pregnancy
and
Piety
soon
invited
preferment
.
He
was
first
made
Scholar
of
the
House
,
and
after
Fellow
,
a
little
sooner
then
either
his
years
or
standing
in
rigour
of
Statute
permitted
:
but
the
Colledge
was
impatient
not
to
make
sure
of
him
,
by
grafting
him
firmly
into
that
Society
,
which
had
been
famous
for
many
excellent
men
,
but
for
none
more
then
Brounrig
.
4.
When
King
James
(
that
most
learned
Prince
)
was
pleas'd
to
honour
the
University
of
Cambridge
by
his
presence
,
and
to
make
Exercises
of
Scholars
the
best
part
of
his
Entertainment
,
this
person
(
then
a
young
man
)
was
one
of
those
who
were
chosen
by
the
University
to
adorn
that
Reception
of
the
King
.
The
part
he
performed
was
Jocoserious
(
of
praevaricator
)
a
mixture
of
Philosophy
with
Wit
and
Oratory
.
This
he
discharged
,
to
the
admiration
more
then
the
mirth
of
the
King
,
and
the
other
learned
Auditors
:
who
rejoyced
to
see
such
a
luxuriancy
of
Wit
was
consistent
with
innocency
;
that
jesting
was
confined
to
conveniency
,
and
Mirth
married
with
that
Modesty
which
became
the
Muses
.
5.
Among
his
learned
and
accurate
performances
in
publick
,
I
cannot
but
observe
,
that
when
he
took
the
Degree
of
B.
D.
the
Text
upon
which
he
chose
to
preach
his
Latin
Sermon
was
prophetick
and
preparatory
to
his
after
sufferings
:
Phil.
1.
29.
Vobis
autem
datum
,
&c.
To
you
it
is
given
on
the
behalf
of
Christ
,
not
only
to
believe
in
him
,
but
also
to
suffer
for
his
sake
.
Which
eloquent
and
pious
Sermon
he
afterwards
was
to
fulfill
indeed
.
Quod
docuit
verbo
,
firmavit
exemplo
:
He
made
his
Doctrin
good
by
his
practice
,
taking
up
the
cross
of
Christ
and
following
him
.
6.
He
was
preferred
to
be
Prebend
of
the
Collegiate
Church
of
Eli
,
by
the
favour
and
love
of
the
then
Bishop
of
that
Seat
,
Doctor
Felton
,
a
very
holy
and
good
man
.
He
had
also
a
good
living
at
Barlow
,
not
far
from
Cambridge
,
a
Country
Village
;
where
he
condiscended
in
his
preaching
and
catechising
to
ordinary
capacities
:
(
He
oft
deplored
the
disuse
and
want
of
Catechising
:
)
After
that
,
this
great
Lamp
was
set
and
shined
in
a
Sphere
more
proper
and
proportionate
,
being
chosen
Master
of
Katharine
Hall
.
Here
,
it
was
wonderfull
to
see
,
how
the
Buildings
,
the
Revenues
,
the
Students
and
the
studiousness
of
that
place
increased
,
by
the
care
,
counsell
,
prudence
,
diligence
and
Fame
of
Doctor
Brounrig
;
who
had
such
an
eye
to
all
,
that
he
oversaw
none
,
frequenting
the
Studies
,
and
examining
even
younger
●cholars
,
that
they
might
be
encouraged
in
Learning
and
Piety
.
7.
He
kept
up
very
much
,
as
good
Learning
and
good
Manners
,
so
the
honour
of
Orthodox
Divinity
,
and
orderly
Conformity
:
He
kept
to
the
Doctrin
,
Worship
,
Devotion
,
and
Government
in
the
Church
of
England
:
Which
,
he
would
say
,
he
liked
better
and
better
,
as
he
grew
older
.
If
any
,
out
of
scruple
or
tendernesse
of
Conscience
,
was
lesse
satisfied
with
some
things
,
no
man
had
a
more
tender
heart
,
or
a
gentler
hand
to
heal
them
.
He
would
convince
,
though
he
did
not
convert
Gain-sayers
;
and
if
he
could
not
perswade
them
,
yet
he
would
pity
and
pray
for
them
.
8.
He
could
endure
differences
among
learned
and
godly
men
,
in
opinions
,
especially
sublime
and
obscure
,
without
distance
in
affection
.
He
thought
that
Scripture
it self
was
in
some
points
left
unto
us
lesse
clear
and
positive
,
that
Christians
might
have
wherewith
to
exercise
both
Humility
in
themselves
,
and
Charity
towards
others
.
He
very
much
venerated
the
first
worthy
Reformers
of
Religion
at
home
and
abroad
:
yet
was
he
not
so
addicted
to
any
one
Master
,
as
not
freely
to
use
his
own
great
and
mature
Judgment
.
He
hoped
every
good
Man
had
his
Retractations
,
either
actual
or
intentional
;
though
all
had
no
time
to
write
them
,
as
Saint
Austin
did
.
He
had
the
greatest
Antipathy
against
those
unquiet
and
pragmatick
Spirits
,
which
affect
endlesse
Controversies
,
Varieties
and
Novelties
in
Religion
,
to
carry
on
a
party
,
and
under
that
skreen
of
Religion
to
advance
their
private
Interests
and
politick
Designs
.
9.
For
the
Liturgy
,
though
he
needed
a
set
form
as
little
as
any
,
yet
he
had
a
particular
great
esteem
of
it
:
1.
For
the
honour
and
piety
of
its
Martyrly
Composers
:
2.
For
its
excellent
matter
,
and
prudent
Method
:
3.
For
the
good
he
saw
it
did
to
all
sober
Christians
:
the
want
of
which
he
saw
was
not
supplied
by
any
Ministers
private
way
of
praying
and
preaching
.
Not
,
that
the
Liturgy
is
unalterable
:
but
he
judged
all
such
Alterations
ought
to
be
done
by
the
publick
spirit
.
As
for
Bishops
,
he
was
too
learned
a
man
to
doubt
,
and
too
honest
to
deny
the
universal
Custom
and
practice
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
in
all
ages
and
places
for
fifteen
hundred
years
,
according
to
the
pattern
(
at
least
)
received
from
the
Apostles
:
who
,
without
doubt
,
followed
,
as
they
best
knew
,
the
mind
of
Christ
.

He
was
by
the
favour
of
King
Charls
,
and
to
the
great
liking
of
all
good
men
made
Bishop
of
Exeter
,
Anno
1641.
Whereupon
,
a
certain
Gentleman
told
me
;
He
wondred
Doctor
Brounrig
would
be
made
a
Bishop
,
whom
he
had
heard
sometime
declare
his
judgment
against
Episcopacy
.
Which
,
as
I
no
way
beleived
,
so
relating
it
soon
after
to
the
Bishop
,
He
with
some
passion
replyed
;
I
never
thought
,
much
lesse
said
,
as
that
person
hath
falsely
averred
.
I
thank
God
,
I
took
the
office
of
a
Bishop
with
a
good
Conscience
,
and
so
I
hope
by
his
Mercy
I
shall
both
maintain
and
discharge
it
.
11.
And
however
this
excellent
Bishop
enjoyed
not
the
benefit
of
the
Kings
favour
and
munificence
,
as
to
his
Bishoprick
,
or
any
other
preferment
,
after
the
Troubles
of
the
times
;
yet
he
was
ever
most
unmovable
in
his
royal
respects
of
fidelity
,
gratitude
,
love
and
obedience
.
Accordingly
,
when
O.
P.
with
some
shew
of
respect
to
him
,
demanded
his
judgment
in
some
publick
affairs
,
the
Bishop
with
his
wonted
Gravity
and
Freedome
replyed
:
My
Lord
,
the
best
Counsel
I
can
give
you
,
is
that
of
our
Saviour
,
Render
unto
Caesar
the
things
that
be
Caesars
,
and
unto
God
the
things
that
be
Gods
.
With
which
free
Answer
O.
P.
rested
rather
silenced
then
satisfyed
.
12.
This
Grave
personage
,
when
forced
to
retire
,
was
usefull
to
those
that
were
worthy
of
him
,
and
knew
how
to
value
and
use
him
,
either
as
a
Bishop
,
or
as
a
Divine
,
or
a
Counsellor
,
or
a
Comforter
,
or
a
Friend
.
Among
those
,
that
gave
him
a
liberal
and
noble
entertainment
,
Thomas
Rich
Esq
;
of
Sunning
in
Bark-shire
,
deserves
with
honour
to
be
thus
registred
,
That
he
was
the
special
friend
to
Bishop
Brounrig
.
Indeed
none
could
be
hospitable
to
him
gratis
:
He
alwaies
paid
largely
for
his
entertainments
by
his
many
excellent
Discourses
.
13.
He
was
alwaies
,
when
in
health
,
as
cheerfull
(
as
far
as
the
Tragedies
of
the
Times
gave
leave
)
as
one
that
had
the
continual
feast
of
a
good
Conscience
;
and
as
content
,
as
if
he
had
had
a
Lords
estate
.
All
diminutions
and
indignities
,
which
some
men
put
upon
so
worthy
and
venerable
a
person
,
he
digested
into
patience
and
prayers
.
Thus
he
was
in
some
degree
conformable
to
the
primitive
Bishops
,
which
were
poor
and
persecuted
,
yea
to
the
great
Bishop
of
our
Souls
,
Who
for
our
sakes
made
himself
of
no
reputation
.
14.
About
a
year
before
he
dyed
,
he
was
invited
with
much
respect
and
civility
to
the
Honourable
Societies
of
both
Temples
,
to
blesse
them
,
as
with
his
constant
Residence
,
so
with
his
Fatherly
Instructions
and
Prayers
.
To
shew
the
Reality
of
their
love
and
value
to
his
Lordship
,
they
not
only
allowed
an
annual
honorary
Recompence
to
expresse
their
Thanks
,
but
they
provided
handsome
Lodgings
,
and
furnished
them
with
all
things
necessary
,
convenient
and
comely
for
a
person
of
his
worth
.
Such
as
could
hear
him
preach
rejoyced
at
his
gracious
words
:
such
as
for
the
crowd
could
not
come
nigh
enough
to
hear
him
,
had
pleasure
to
stay
and
behold
him
,
conceiving
they
saw
a
Sermon
in
his
looks
,
and
were
better'd
by
the
venerable
Aspect
of
so
worthy
a
person
.
15.
God
was
pleased
to
exercise
him
with
bodily
pains
,
indispositions
and
distempers
,
sometimes
with
sharp
fits
of
the
Stone
;
but
under
all
these
God
supported
him
with
his
Grace
,
and
spirit
,
as
alwaies
humble
,
devout
and
pious
,
so
for
the
most
part
sociable
,
ferene
and
cheerfull
,
till
he
had
lived
to
his
sixty
seventh
year
.
He
had
more
frequent
Infirmities
,
as
gentle
monitors
,
a
little
before
his
death
,
of
which
he
would
speak
to
my self
and
others
,
as
one
that
by
dying
dayly
was
well
acquainted
with
death
:
and
would
say
,
That
it
was
a
very
cheap
time
now
to
die
:
there
being
so
little
temptation
to
desire
life
,
and
so
many
to
welcome
death
:
since
he
had
lived
to
see
no
King
in
the
State
,
no
Bishop
in
the
Church
,
no
Peer
in
Parliament
worthy
of
that
name
.
He
only
hoped
and
prayed
that
God
would
favour
him
so
far
with
an
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
as
to
let
him
dy
without
pain
:
as
indeed
he
did
.
For
after
his
spirits
were
in
ten
days
decayed
and
wasted
,
he
slumbred
much
,
yet
had
vigilant
Intervals
;
at
which
times
he
gave
himself
to
prayer
and
meditation
and
holy
Discourses
:
And
being
full
of
the
Grace
and
peace
of
God
,
and
confirmed
in
it
by
the
Absolution
of
the
Church
(
which
belongs
to
all
that
dye
in
the
true
faith
,
and
blessed
hope
of
penitent
sinners
)
he
placidly
rendred
his
holy
,
devout
and
precious
Soul
to
God
that
gave
it

16.
His
Body
for
stature
and
figure
was
somewhat
taller
and
bigger
then
ordinary
,
yet
very
comely
.
No
man
ever
became
the
Preachers
Pulpit
,
or
the
Doctors
Chair
,
or
the
Episcopal
Seat
(
it
was
called
of
old
Thronus
Episcopalis
)
better
then
he
did
;
carrying
before
him
such
an
unaffected
State
and
grandeur
,
such
a
benign
gravity
,
and
a
kind
of
smiling
Severity
,
that
one
might
see
much
in
him
to
be
reverenced
,
and
more
to
be
loved
:
yet
what
was
venerable
in
him
was
very
amiable
,
and
what
was
amiable
was
very
venerable
.
17.
If
you
please
to
add
to
your
former
favours
(
while
he
lived
amongst
you
)
this
last
,
of
giving
order
and
leave
to
adorn
your
Chappel
with
any
Monument
for
him
,
you
need
be
at
no
more
cost
,
then
to
inscribe
,
on
a
plain
Stone
,
the
name
of
BISHOP
BROUNRIG
:
This
will
make
that
Stone
Marble
enough
,
and
your
Chappel
a
Mausoleum

Mr
THO.
GATAKER
.
Out
of
the
Narrative
annexed
to
his
Funeral
Sermon
.
1.
HE
was
a
branch
of
an
antient
Family
,
so
firmly
by
Gods
providence
planted
in
Shropshire
,
that
the
stock
hath
continued
in
the
same
House
,
carrying
the
name
of
its
owner
,
and
known
by
the
title
of
Gatacre-hall
,
by
an
uninterrupted
succession
from
the
time
of
K.
Edward
the
Confessor
.
2.
His
Father
was
houshold
Chaplain
to
Robert
Earl
of
Leicester
,
and
Pastor
of
S.
Edmunds
in
Lumbardstreet
London
.
In
that
parsonage-house
,
by
his
Wife
Margarit
,
being
of
an
honest
Family
of
the
Pigots
in
Hertfordshire
,
among
other
children
,
he
had
this
Son
Thomas
,
born
Septem.
4.
1574.
3.
In
his
childhood
,
he
was
so
addicted
to
learning
,
that
he
needed
a
bridle
rather
than
a
spur
.
This
love
of
learning
joyned
with
an
admirable
capacity
,
a
nimble
wit
and
vast
memorie
,
adorned
with
sober
manners
,
advanced
him
from
the
Grammar
School
to
the
Vniversitie
,
(
where
he
was
by
his
father
placed
in
St
John's
Colledge
,
in
Cambridge
)
in
the
15
year
of
his
Age
,
1590.
4.
Here
,
not
from
mere
favour
,
but
from
merit
(
upon
proof
of
his
learning
)
he
was
chosen
Scholar
of
that
worthy
Society
:
wherein
he
continued
his
studies
with
unwearyed
diligence
and
happy
successe
,
till
with
abilities
answerable
to
his
Degree
,
he
commenced
Master
of
Arts.
5.
Take
for
an
instance
of
his
Industry
this
:
That
he
was
a
constant
Auditor
of
that
eminent
light
of
learning
Mr
Jo.
Boys
:
who
read
a
Greek
Lecture
in
his
bed
to
certain
young
students
,
that
preferred
antelucana
studia
before
their
rest
and
ease
.
The
Notes
whereof
he
kept
as
a
Treasure
,
and
being
visited
by
Mr
Boys
many
years
after
,
he
produced
them
to
the
no
small
joy
of
the
good
old
man
,
who
professed
himself
made
some
years
yonger
by
that
entertainment
.
6.
Such
esteem
he
was
of
in
the
University
,
that
he
was
chosen
to
be
Fellow
ef
Sidney
Colledge
,
while
it
was
in
building
.
Mean
while
,
he
retired
to
a
Gentlemans
house
in
Essex
,
where
he
expounded
some
part
of
Scripture
every
morning
.
At
which
exercise
,
Dr
Stern
,
suffragan
of
Colchester
,
at
a
time
happening
to
be
present
,
and
approving
his
endowments
,
exhorted
Mr
Gataker
to
take
holy
Orders
.
But
he
well
weighed
the
burden
of
that
Calling
,
and
modestly
judging
of
his
own
Abilities
,
deferred
the
matter
,
till
by
the
advice
of
Mr
Alvey
,
formerly
his
Tutor
,
and
by
a
second
instance
of
the
Doctor
,
he
assented
to
be
Ordained
by
the
said
Suffragan
.
7.
Sidney
Coll:
being
finished
,
he
betook
himself
to
his
station
there
,
and
was
happy
in
seasoning
Young
Students
with
principles
of
piety
and
learning
.
He
was
also
a
partner
to
some
other
charitable
Divines
,
in
a
pious
Design
of
preaching
in
places
adjacent
to
the
University
,
where
need
was
.
And
for
half
a
year
he
preached
at
Everton
every
Lords
day
.
8.
After
this
,
he
removed
from
Cambridge
,
to
Sr
William
Cooks
Family
,
then
resident
in
London
,
where
he
made
a
more
publick
discovery
of
his
Ministerial
gifts
,
and
was
invited
to
the
Lecturers
place
in
Lincolns
Inne
.
But
he
,
according
to
his
usual
Modesty
declin'd
it
,
till
Dr
Mountague
,
Mr
of
Sidney
Coll.
then
in
London
,
with
an
intention
to
cal
Mr
Gataker
back
to
the
College
to
read
the
Hebrew
Lecture
,
laying
that
aside
,
encouraged
him
against
his
own
diffidence
,
and
with
his
Authority
and
Arguments
wrought
him
at
last
to
an
Assent
.
9.
At
Lincolns
Inne
he
spent
ten
years
to
the
advancement
of
piety
:
and
in
the
Vacations
resided
and
preached
in
the
Family
of
Sir
William
Cook
;
to
whose
Lady
he
was
neer
in
blood
:
and
so
dear
to
both
,
that
in
consideration
of
his
pains
freely
taken
,
they
setled
upon
Mr
Gataker
an
Annuity
of
twenty
pounds
.
This
he
enjoyed
some
few
years
,
but
after
(
for
some
reasons
)
generously
remitted
unto
the
Heir
of
that
Family
,
forbearing
to
use
the
right
he
had
,
and
forbidding
his
Executour
to
claim
any
Arrears
of
that
Annuity
.
10.
An.
1611.
being
called
to
the
Rectory
of
Redrith
in
Surrey
,
commending
his
former
charge
to
the
Grace
of
God
,
he
betook
himself
to
the
sole
attendance
on
that
Flock
of
which
God
had
now
made
him
Overseer
.
His
Industrie
in
discharge
thereof
was
constant
and
great
,
notwithstanding
an
almost
perpetual
head-ach
,
wherewith
God
had
exercised
him
from
his
very
youth
.
To
the
work
of
his
preaching
on
the
Lords
day
,
he
added
a
weekly
Catechetical
Lecture
on
Friday
in
the
Evening
,
which
he
continued
,
accurately
and
methodically
,
till
he
had
gone
through
the
whole
bodie
of
Divinitie
,
and
gave
it
over
when
he
observed
his
parishoners
grown
to
a
neglect

of
free
labours

Having
a
justifiable
curiosity
to
see
our
neighbour
Church
in
the
Vnited
Provinces
,
and
something
of
the
other
Provinces
in
Belgium
,
he
took
the
advantage
of
the
Truce
then
between
the
Spaniard
and
the
Hollander
,
for
a
free
passage
between
both
Countries
.
In
this
travel
he
shewed
himself
a
good
preacher
to
the
English
Church
at
Middleburgh
,
and
a
good
Disputant
to
the
English
Papists
in
Flanders
.
God
prospered
his
journey
;
and
within
a
month
,
having
viewed
the
most
considerable
places
in
the
Low
Countries
,
he
returned
safe
.
12.
An.
1643.
Being
scarce
recover'd
from
a
violent
fit
of
the
Collick
,
he
was
called
into
the
Assembly
of
Divines
:
where
his
modest
and
peaceable
behaviour
was
remarkable
.
During
his
attendance
there
,
the
Mastership
of
Trinitie
Col.
in
Cambridge
,
the
greatest
preferment
in
that
University
,
was
offerd
him
.
But
this
good
man
(
though
often
importuned
by
many
friends
to
accept
of
the
motion
)
according
to
his
accustomed
Modesty
refused
to
undertake
that
place
of
much
honour
and
advantage
,
pleading
,
together
with
his
unworthinesse
,
his
old
age
and
weaknesse
of
body
.
13.
His
Gifts
of
edification
may
be
seen
in
his
Works
extant
,
viz.
Of
the
Nature
and
Use
of
Lots

His
Polite
literature
was
much
esteemed
by
learned
men
abroad
,
Salmasius
and
others
,
with
whom
he
held
correspondence
:
And
the
exercise
of
it
,
with
condescention
to
children
,
hath
been
admired
at
Tunbridge
School
in
the
Visitation
of
it
.
He
had
a
felicity
to
make
his
human
literature
(
as
it
ought
to
be
)
subservient
to
Religion
.
14.
His
graces
of
Sanctification
were
also
very
eminent
:
His
pietie
,
in
the
care
of
Gods
ordidinances
,
and
love
to
Gods
House
:
His
Charitie
,
in
his
tender
sense
of
the
Churches
Afflictions
,
and
abridging
himself
of
his
liberty
in
some
lawful
things
to
please
the
weak
:
His
Humilitie
,
in
a
low
esteem
of
his
Abilities
,
and
declining
of
dignities
and
preferments
:
His
Meeknesse
,
in
conversing
with
the
meanest
,
and
descending
to
them
in
the
way
of
Counsel
and
satisfaction
of
their
doubts
:
His
patience
,
in
bearing
the
afflictions
on
his
body
;
and
his
Faith
,
in
commending
his
soul
into
the
hands
of
God

,
to
Magd.
Coll.
in
Oxford
.
Being
to
proceed
Master
of
Arts
,
he
was
made
Reader
of
the
natural
Philosophy
Lecture
there
.
An.
1629
,
●eing
twenty
four
years
of
age
,
he
entred
into
holy
orders
.
An.
1633
,
having
preached
at
Court
for
Dr.
Frewen
,
he
was
preferred
by
the
Earl
of
Leicester
to
the
Rectory
of
Pensehurst
.
*
1.
In
the
discharge
of
his
Ministerial
function
(
at
Pensehurst
)
he
satisfyed
not
himself
in
diligent
and
constant
preaching
only
(
a
performance
wherein
some
of
late
have
phansied
all
Religion
to
consist
)
but
much
more
conceived
himself
obliged
to
the
offering
up
the
solemn
dayly
Sacrifice
of
Prayer
for
his
people
,
administring
the
Sacraments
,
relieving
the
poor
,
keeping
Hospitality
,
reconciling
of
Differences
amongst
Neighbours
,
visiting
the
sick
,
catechising
of
the
Youth
.
2.
As
to
the
first
of
these
,
his
Preaching
,
't
was
not
at
the
rate
of
the
Times
,
an
unpremeditated
,
undigested
effusion
of
shallow
and
crude
conceptions
;
but
a
rational
and
just
discourse
,
that
was
to
teach
the
Priest
as
well
as
the
Lay-hearer
.
His
Method
was
(
which
likewise
he
recommended
to
his
Friends
)
after
every
Sermon
to
resolve
upon
the
ensuing
Subject
;
that
being
done
,
to
pursue
the
course
of
study
which
he
was
then
in
hand
with
,
reserving
the
close
of
the
week
for
the
provision
for
the
next
Lords-day
.
Whereby
not
only
a
constant
progresse
was
made
in
Science
,
but
materials
unawares
were
gaind
unto
the
immediate
future
work
:
for
,
he
said
,
be
the
Subject
treated
of
never
so
distant
,
somewhat
will
infallibly
fall
in
conducible
unto
the
present
purpose
.
3.
The
offices
of
Prayer
he
had
in
his
Church
,
not
only
upon
the
Sundays
or
Festivals
and
their
Eves
,
as
also
Wednesdayes
and
Fridayes
,
according
to
the
appointment
of
the
Rubrick
(
which
strict
duty
and
ministration
,
when
't
is
examined
to
the
bottome
,
will
prove
the
greatest
objection
against
the
Liturgy
)
but
every
day
in
the
week
,
and
twice
on
Saturdays
and
Holy-day
Eves
:
For
his
assistance
wherein
he
kept
a
Curate
,
and
allow'd
him
a
comfortable
Salary
.
And
at
those
Devotions
he
took
order
that
his
Family
should
give
diligent
and
exemplary
attendance
:
which
was
the
easilier
perform'd
,
it
being
guided
by
his
Mother
,
a
woman
of
antient
virtue
,
and
one
to
whom
he
paid
a
more
then
filial
obedience
.
4.
As
to
the
Administration
of
the
Sacrament
,
he
reduced
it
to
an
Imitation
,
though
a
distant
one
,
of
Primitive
frequency
,
to
once
a
month
,
and
therewith
it
s
anciently
inseparable
Appendant
,
the
Offertory
:
wherein
his
Instruction
and
happily
insinuating
Example
so
far
prevail'd
that
there
was
thenceforth
little
need
of
ever
making
any
taxe
for
the
poor
.
Nay
(
if
the
report
of
a
sober
person
born
and
bred
up
in
that
Parish
be
to
be
believ'd
)
in
short
time
a
stock
was
rais'd
to
be
alwayes
ready
for
the
apprentising
of
young
Children
,
whose
Parents
condition
made
the
provision
for
them
an
equal
Charity
to
both
the
Child
and
Parent
.
And
after
this
there
yet
remain'd
a
superplusage
for
the
assistance
of
the
neighbour
Parishes
.
5.
For
the
Relief
of
the
poor
,
besides
the
foremention'd
expedient
(
wherein
others
were
sharers
with
him
)
unto
his
private
Charity
,
the
dedicating
the
Tenth
of
all
Receits
,
and
the
daily
Almes
given
at
the
door
,
he
constantly
set
apart
over
and
above
,
every
week
,
a
certain
rate
in
mony
.
Yet
farther
,
an
other
Art
of
Charity
he
had
,
the
selling
Corn
to
his
poor
Neighbours
at
a
rate
below
the
Market-price
:
which
,
(
though
,
as
he
said
,
he
had
reason
to
do
,
gaining
thereby
the
charge
of
portage
)
was
a
great
benefit
to
them
,
who
,
besides
the
abatement
of
price
and
(
possibly
)
forbearance
,
saved
thereby
a
days
work
.
6.
He
that
was
thus
liberal
to
the
necessitous
poor
,
was
no
lesse
hospitable
to
those
of
better
quality
:
and
as
at
other
times
he
frequently
invited
his
Neighbours
to
his
Table
,
so
more
especially
on
Sundayes
,
which
seldome
past
at
any
time
without
bringing
some
of
them
his
guests
:
but
here
beyond
the
weekly
treatments
,
the
Christmas
Festival
had
a
peculiar
allowance
to
support
it
.
He
knew
well
how
much
the
Application
at
the
Table
inforc'd
the
Doctrines
of
the
Pulpit
,
and
how
subservient
the
endearing
of
his
Person
was
to
the
recommending
his
instructions
,
how
far
upon
these
motives
our
Saviour
thought
fit
to
eat
with
Publicans
and
Sinners
,
and
how
effectual
the
loaves
were
to
the
procuring
of
Disciples
.
7.
As
by
publick
admonition
he
most
diligently
instill'd
that
great
fundamental
doctrin
of
Peace
and
Love
,
so
did
he
likewise
in
his
private
addresse
and
conversation
,
being
never
at
peace
in
himself
till
he
had
procur'd
it
among
his
Neighbours
;
wherein
God
so
blest
him
,
that
he
not
only
attain'd
his
purpose
of
uniting
distant
parties
unto
each
other
,
but
,
contrary
to
the
usual
fate
of
reconcilers
,
gain'd
them
to
himself
:
there
having
been
no
person
of
his
function
any
where
better
beloved
then
he
when
present
,
or
lamented
more
when
absent
,
by
his
flock
.
Of
which
tender
and
very
filial
Affection
,
in
stead
of
more
,
we
may
take
two
instances
:
the
one
,
that
he
being
driven
away
,
and
his
books
plunder'd
,
one
of
his
Neighbours
bought
them
in
his
behalf
,
and
preserved
them
till
the
end
of
the
War
:
the
other
,
that
during
his
abode
at
Pensehurst
he
never
had
any
vexatious
Law-dispute
about
his
dues
,
but
had
his
Tithes
fully
paid
,
and
not
of
the
most
refuse
parts
,
but
generally
the
very
best
.
8.
Though
he
judged
the
time
of
sicknesse
an
improper
season
for
the
great
work
of
Repentance
,
yet
he
esteemed
it
a
most
usefull
Preparative
,
the
voice
of
God
himself
exhorting
to
it
:
and
therefore
not
only
when
desir'd
made
his
Visits
to
all
such
as
stood
in
need
of
those
his
charities
,
but
prevented
their
requests
by
early
and
frequent
coming
to
them
.
And
this
he
was
so
carefull
of
▪
that
after
his
remove
from
Pensehurst
,
being
at
Oxford
,
and
hearing
of
the
Sicknesse
of
one
of
his
Parishioners
,
he
from
thence
sent
to
him
those
Instructions
which
he
judged
usefull
in
that
Exigent
,
and
which
he
could
not
give
at
nearer
distance
.
9.
For
the
Institution
of
Youth
in
the
Rudiments
of
piety
,
his
Custome
was
,
during
the
warmer
season
of
the
year
,
to
spend
an
hour
before
Evening
prayer
in
Catechising
,
whereat
the
Parents
and
older
sort
were
wont
to
be
present
,
and
from
whence
(
as
he
with
comfort
was
used
to
say
)
they
reaped
more
benefit
then
from
his
S●rmons
.
Where
it
may
not
be
superfluous
to
observe
that
he
introduced
no
new
form
of
Catechism
,
but
adher
▪
d
to
that
of
the
Church
,
rendring
it
fully
intelligible
to
the
meanest
capacities
by
his
Explanations
.
(
It
may
be
usefull
withall
to
advert
,
that
if
in
those
times
Catechetical
Institution
were
very
seasonable
,
't
will
now
be
much
more
;
when
Principles
have
been
exchang'd
for
dreams
of
words
and
notions
.
)
Besides
all
this
,
that
there
might
be
no
imaginable
assistance
wanting
,
he
took
care
for
the
providing
an
able
School-master
in
the
Parish
,
which
he
continued
during
the
whole
time
of
his
abode
.
10.
And
as
he
thus
laboured
in
the
spiritual
building
up
of
Souls
,
he
was
not
negligent
of
the
material
Fabrick
committed
to
his
trust
:
but
repair'd
with
a
very
great
expence
(
the
annual
charge
of
100
l.
)
his
Parsonage
house
;
til
from
an
incommodious
ruin
he
had
renderd
it
a
fair
and
pleasant
dwelling
,
with
the
adherent
conveniences
of
Gardens
and
Orchards
.
11.
While
he
was
thus
busie
on
his
Charge
,
&c.
But
I
earnestly
desire
the
Reader
to
peruse
the
whole
story
of
this
excellent
Divine
excellently
written
by
the
Venerable
Dean
.
Only
,
I
will
take
leave
to
adde
here
some
of
his
Rules
and
Sayings
.
12.
He
scarcely
recommended
any
thing
in
his
advices
with
that
concern
and
vigor
,
as
,
To
be
furnished
alwaies
with
somewhat
to
do
.
This
he
propos'd
as
the
best
expedient
both
for
innocence
and
pleasure
,
assuring
,
That
no
burthen
is
more
heavy
,
or
temptation
more
dangerous
,
then
to
have
Time
ly
on
ones
hand
:
adding
,
The
idle
mans
brain
is
the
Divels
shop
.
13.
He
profest
,
He
had
no
such
way
of
enjoying
any
thing
,
as
by
reflection
from
the
person
whom
he
loved
:
so
that
his
friends
being
happy
was
the
readiest
way
to
make
him
so
.
14.
The
principal
thing
he
contracted
for
in
Friendship
was
a
free
use
of
mutual
Admonition
:
which
he
extended
even
to
undecencies
,
saying
,
It
was
a
poor
design
of
Friendship
to
keep
the
Person
he
admitted
to
his
breast
only
from
being
scandalous
;
as
if
the
Physician
should
endeavour
only
to
secure
his
patient
from
the
plague
.
And
this
he
gave
as
a
general
rule
,
and
enforc'd
by
his
Example
,
Never
to
reprove
in
Anger
,
or
the
least
appearance
of
it
.
15.
He
would
say
,
He
delighted
to
be
loved
,
not
reverenced
;
thinking
that
where
there
was
much
of
the
later
,
there
could
not
be
enough
of
the
former
;
somewhat
of
restraint
and
distance
attending
on
the
one
,
which
was
not
well
consistent
with
the
perfect
freedom
requisite
to
the
other
.
16.
To
the
performances
of
friendship
he
ha●ed
all
mercenary
returns
,
whereof
he
was
so
jealous
,
as
hardly
to
leave
place
for
gratitude
,
Love
,
he
said
,
was
built
upon
the
union
and
similitude
of
minds
,
and
not
the
bribery
of
gifts
and
benefits
.
So
generous
was
he
herein
,
that
he
has
oft
profest
,
He
admitted
retributions
of
good
turns
,
yet
not
so
much
on
any
score
,
as
that
his
friend
might
have
the
pleasure
of
being
kind
.
17.
When
any
one
had
sent
him
a
slight
present
of
Apples
or
the
like
,
his
Reward
would
usually
much
exceed
the
value
;
and
he
would
be
so
well
pleas'd
to
have
such
an
occasion
of
giving
to
a
servant
,
saying
,
Alas
,
poor
Soul
,
I
warrant
he
is
glad
of
this
little
matter
,
that
this
seem'd
a
part
of
the
senders
courtesy
.
18.
He
was
us'd
to
say
,
That
't
was
a
most
unreasonable
and
unchristian
thing
to
despise
any
one
for
his
poverty
.
And
,
That
't
was
one
of
the
greatest
sensualities
in
the
world
,
to
Give
:
Upon
which
consideration
he
often
took
occasion
to
magnify
the
exceeding
Indulgence
of
God
,
that
had
annext
future
rewards
to
that
which
was
so
amply
its
own
Recompence
.
19.
He
gave
this
for
a
Rule
to
those
of
his
friends
that
were
of
estate
and
quality
,
To
treat
their
poor
Neighbours
with
such
a
chearfulnesse
,
that
they
may
be
glad
to
have
met
with
them
.
20.
To
shew
how
high
a
value
he
put
on
the
Souls
of
men
,
he
often
broke
out
into
words
of
this
effect
,
which
had
with
them
still
in
the
delivery
an
extraordinary
vehemence
,
O
what
a
glorious
thing
,
how
rich
a
prize
for
the
expence
of
a
mans
whole
life
were
it
,
to
be
the
instrument
of
rescuing
any
one
Soul
!
20.
His
Motto
of
instruction
to
young
persons
was
,
Principiis
obsta
,
and
,
Hoc
age
;
to
withstand
the
overtures
of
ill
,
and
be
intent
and
serious
in
good
:
to
which
he
joyn'd
a
third
advice
,
To
be
furnisht
with
a
Friend
.
21.
For
serenity
and
calm
of
Mind
,
he
layd
this
Rule
before
him
,
which
prov'd
of
great
use
,
Never
to
trouble
himself
with
the
foresight
of
future
events
,
being
resolv'd
of
our
Saviours
Maxime
,
Sufficient
to
the
day
is
the
evil
thereof
.
21.
If
he
saw
any
perplext
about
the
manage
of
their
difficult
affairs
,
he
was
wont
to
ask
them
,
When
they
would
begin
to
trust
God
,
or
permit
him
to
govern
the
World
.
And
to
himself
and
friends
he
was
wont
solemnly
to
give
this
mandate
,
Quod
sis
esse
velis
,
nihilque
malis
;
in
his
English
,
to
rather
nothing
:
Not
only
to
be
content
or
acquiesce
▪
but
be
resolv'd
the
present
estate
to
be
the
very
best
that
could
be
wisht
or
phansied
.
22.
He
lookt
upon
the
Kings
return
with
pity
and
compassion
,
as
bringing
him
to
that
uneasy
,
if
not
insuperable
Task
of
ruling
and
reforming
a
licentious
people
.
It
will
be
a
blessing
to
his
people
,
but
unto
him
can
not
be
so
,
but
only
on
this
score
,
by
having
opportunities
through
glorious
self-denyals
to
do
good
.
23.
When
the
Change
approached
,
discoursing
of
occurrents
,
he
broke
forth
into
these
words
,
I
must
confesse
,
I
never
saw
that
time
in
all
my
life
,
wherein
I
could
so
cheerfully
say
my
Nunc
dimittis
,
as
now
.
Indeed
I
do
dread
prosperity
,
I
do
really
dread
it
.
For
the
little
good
I
am
now
able
to
do
,
I
can
do
it
with
deliberation
and
advice
:
but
if
it
please
God
I
should
live
and
be
call'd
to
any
higher
office
in
the
Church
,
I
must
then
do
many
things
in
a
hurry
,
and
shall
not
have
time
to
consult
with
others
,
and
I
sufficiently
apprehend
the
danger
of
relying
on
my
own
judgment
.
24.
In
his
last
sicknesse
he
comforted
his
sad
friends
,
saying
,
He
should
leave
them
in
God's
hands
,
who
could
supply
abundantly
all
the
assistance
they
could
either
expect
or
desire
from
him
;
and
who
would
so
provide
,
that
they
should
not
find
his
removal
any
losse
.
25.
When
in
his
sharp
agonies
his
friends
betook
themselves
to
their
extemporary
ejaculations
,
he
compos'd
those
irregularities
by
saying
,
Let
us
call
on
God
in
the
Voice
of
his
Church
.
26.
At
the
Communion
,
hearing
those
words
of
the
Apostle
,
Jesus
Christ
came
into
the
World
to
save
sinners
,
he
pathetically
rejoyn'd
,
Of
whom
I
am
chief
.
23.
To
the
good
Lady
of
the
house
,
who
asked
him
,
what
he
would
chiefly
commend
to
her
,
he
briefly
answer'd
,
Vniform
Obedience
.
28.
A
few

Dr
MILES
SMITH
.
Bishop
of
Gloc.
Out
of
the
Preface
before
his
Sermons
,
published
by
Mr
Jo.
Stephens
.
1.
FOr
the
manner
of
his
life
and
the
constant
tenour
of
it
,
this
I
can
affirm
,
that
therein
he
shewed
forth
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
such
as
the
Apostle
speaks
of
,
Love
,
Joy
,
Peace
,
&c.
Adde
hereunto
that
sincerity
and
godly
purenesse
that
appeared
in
all
his
actions
,
striving
not
so
much
to
seem
,
as
verily
and
indeed
to
be
a
pattern
of
gracious
deportment
,
and
it
may
be
said
of
him
,
as
our
Saviour
testifieth
of
Nathaniel
,
Behold
an
Israelite
in
whom
was
no
guile
.
2.
He
alwaies
shewed
himself
most
ready
to
minister
to
the
necessity
of
the
indigent
and
needy
,
having
a
tender
touch
even
naturally
that
way
.
Yeerly
pensions
he
allowed
whilest
he
lived
,
as
his
great
charge
would
give
him
leave
,
to
be
distributed
to
the
poor
,
as
of
the
place
where
he
was
Bishop
,
so
in
other
places
where
he
had
means
;
besides
the
dayly
relief
they
of
the
City
found
at
his
gates
.
Exhibition
of
maintenance
he
continued
to
divers
poor
Scholars
in
the
University
of
Oxford
,
whose
parents
were
not
able
to
sustain
that
charge
;
and
was
ever
forward
in
succouring
and
relieving
poor
strangers
and
travellers
that
came
unto
him
.
Whether
his
Alms
were
great
or
small
,
they
were
alwaies
mixed
with
alacrity
and
cheerfulnesse
.
3.
And
as
he
was
pitiful
to
the
poor
,
so
very
charitable
towards
all
,
and
apt
to
forgive
wrongs
and
injuries
done
unto
him
,
hardly
to
be
digested
in
the
stomach
of
a
carnal
man
.
The
vertuous
and
religious
he
alwaies
praised
and
incouraged
,
using
instruction
and
rebuke
to
the
contrary
minded
;
not
in
the
voice
of
thunder
,
in
an
over
zealous
strain
,
but
soft
words
of
meeknesse
,
the
most
likely
,
if
not
the
only
winning
way
.
And
in
matter
of
doubt
,
the
byas
of
his
good
inclination
stil
hanged
(
as
every
good
mans
should
do
)
towards
the
better
sense
.

His
pietie
must
not
be
forgotten
,
his
care
of
Gods
true
worship
and
zeal
unto
his
house
.
It
was
his
joy
to
see
a
company
of
well-devoted
people
to
meet
together
to
praise
God
;
and
to
that
end
,
he
did
not
onely
continue
a
Lecture
(
begun
in
his
predecessors
time
)
to
be
read
in
the
Cathedral
weekly
on
the
Tuesday
,
by
the
gravest
Orthodox
and
Conformable
Preachers
within
his
Dioces
,
from
the
time
of
his
entrance
into
that
See
,
till
he
dyed
;
being
full
twelve
years
and
upward
:
but
did
usually
present
himself
in
the
assembly
at
divine
prayers
and
Sermons
,
both
on
the
Lords
Day
and
Lecture
daies
,
if
urgency
of
occasions
hindred
not
.
And
certainly
there
is
nothing
that
ties
the
hearts
of
the
people
so
close
unto
their
guides
and
governours
,
and
maketh
them
so
faithful
each
to
other
,
as
a
joynt
harmony
and
consent
therein
.
Hence
he
gained
from
men
a
reverend
esteem
,
he
was
honoured
and
beloved
of
all
sorts
,
and
God
,
I
doubt
not
,
in
Christ
,
hath
given
him
to
find
the
fruit
of
his
holinesse
in
the
fruition
of
his
blessed
presence
.
5.
Touching
the
things
of
this
world
,
he
carried
himself
as
though
he
looked
not
after
them
;
never
looking
for
any
preferment
that
he
had
,
before
it
was
by
Gods
providence
cast
upon
him
.
Surely
,
the
Bishoprick
of
Gloc.
was
conferred
upon
him
unsought
for
,
unlooked
for
,
at
the
suit
of
the
Archb.
of
Cant.
That
of
Naz.
may
be
verified
of
him
:

〈◊〉

.
6.
And
now
for
his
sufficiency
in
learning
,
as
therein
I
suppose
he
was
inferiour
to
none
,
either
for
knowledge
in
Divinity
,
or
skill
in
the
Eastern
Tongues
:
So
joyning
to
the
height
of
his
knowledge
the
Humility
of
his
mind
,
for
my
part
I
must
confess
,
that
I
never
knew
or
heard
of
his
match
.
Of
his
exactness
in
those
languages
,
this
may
be
a
sufficient
testimony
,
that
he
was
not
only
thought
worthy
by
King
James
of
blessed
memory
,
to
be
called
to
the
Translation
of
the
Bible
,
but
was
one
of
the
twelve
by
whom
it
was
revised
;
and
at
last
it
was
referred
to
the
final
Examination
of
Bishop
Bilson
,
and
this
our
Bishop
:
Viri
eximii
&
ab
initio
in
toto
hoc
opere
versatissimi
(
Synod
.
Dord
.
)
who
happily
concluded
that
worthy
labour
.
The
work
being
finished
,
Bishop
Smith
was
commanded
to
write
a
Preface
,
and
so
he
did
,
in
the
name
of
all
the
Translators
(
the
same
that
is
now
extant
in
our
Church-Bible
)
the
Original
whereof
I
have
seen
under
his
own
hand
.
7.
Though
he
were
so
useful
an
instrument
,
so
strong
a
helper
in
the
former
work
,
as
also
the
Sole-authour
of
this
latter
,
the
Preface
:
(
a
comely
Gate
to
so
rich
and
glorious
a
City
:
)
yet
could
I
never
hear
that
he
did
at
any
time
speak
of
either
,
with
any
attribution
to
himself
more
then
to
the
rest
.
So
that
as
the
Sun
,
the
nearer
it
cometh
to
the
Zenith
,
the
less
shadow
it
causeth
;
so
certainly
the
higher
he
mounted
into
the
mysteries
of
Divine
and
Humane
knowledge
,
the
lower
and
less
he
seemed
to
be
in
his
own
eyes
〈◊〉

.
As
Naz.
spake
of
Athanasius
.
8.
And
now
concerning
the
course
of
his
studies
(
wherein
I
would
propose
him
as
a
Patern
to
be
imitated
by
young
students
in
our
●niversities
)
he
constantly
applyed
himself
from
his
youth
(
as
they
that
were
then
acquainted
with
him
know
)
to
the
reading
of
antient
Classical
Authours
of
the
best
note
in
their
own
languages
:
Wherewith
,
as
with
the
Neoterick
,
he
was
plentisully
stored
,
and
lufted
after
no
worldly
things
,
so
much
as
books
:
Nullius
rei
praeterquam
librorum
avarus
,
was
sometime
his
own
speech
merrily
,
but
(
as
I
perswade
my self
)
truly
,
for
there
was
scarcely
a
book
(
in
so
great
a
number
)
to
be
found
in
his
Library
,
especially
of
the
Antients
,
that
he
had
not
read
over
,
a
capite
ad
calcem
,
as
hath
been
observed
by
those
that
had
the
perusal
of
them
since
his
death
.
9.
He
ran
through
the
Greek
and
Latine
Fathers
,
and
judiciously
noted
them
in
the
margent
,
being
sitted
for
that
purpose
by
the
dextrous
use
of
his
pen
,
wherein
he
came
not
short
even
of
P●ofes●ots
themselves
in
that
faculty
.
The
Rabbins
also
,
so
many
as
he
had
,
with
their
Glosses
and
Commentaries
,
he
read
and
used
in
their
own
id●om
of
speech
:
and
so
conversant
he
was
and
ex●●●t
in
the
Chaldee
,
Syriac
,
and
Arabic
,
that
he
made
them
as
familiar
to
him
almost
,
as
his
own
native
Tongue
.
10.
But
for
the
Hebrew
,
this
I
can
affirm
from
credible
relation
,
that
being
upon
a
time
sent
unto
and
requested
(
whilest
he
was
a
Residentiary
in
the
Cathedral
Church
of
Hereford
:
which
city
was
also
honoured
with
his
birth
)
by
the
then
Dean
of
the
same
Church
,
upon
special
occasion
to
read
the
first
lesson
at
evening
prayer
there
,
he
yeilded
thereunto
;
and
having
with
him
a
little
Hebrew
Bible
(
the
same
I
suppose
that
he
afterwards
used
to
his
death
)
of
Plantins
impression
sine
punctis
;
he
delivered
the
Chapter
there
in
the
English
Tongue
plainly
and
fully
,
to
that
learned
and
judicious
Auditory
:
(
Far
be
from
us
any
suspicion
of
Ostentation
in
him
for
that
act
,
who
never
knew
to
boast
of
himself
,
or
any
thing
that
he
had
,
or
any
thing
that
he
did
.
)
11.
Stories
of
all
times
he
knew
,
and
for
his
rich
and
accomplisht
furniture
in
that
study
,
had
this
Elogium
given
him
by
a
grave
and
learned
Bishop
,
B.
King
,
to
be
a
very
walking
Library
.
And
he
was
so
well
acquainted
with
the
site
of
places
,
Topography
,
and
observed
so
well
the
time
when
every
thing
of
note
was
done
in
those
several
places
,
that
he
hath
caused
great
Travellers
and
Scholers
falling
into
discourse
with
him
,
to
depart
away
with
admiration
of
his
skill
.

His
merit
in
the
new
Translation
of
the
Bible
,
preferred
him
to
this
place
of
Government
in
the
Church
.
For
,
with
Basilius
Magnus
,
Non
ex
majoribus
,
sed
ex
propria
virtute
nobilitatem
duxit
:
He
ennobled
himself
with
his
own
worth
and
virtue
.
13.
Two
singular
ornaments
crowned
him
,
which
seldom
meet
in
one
man
,
Learning
and
Humility
.
On
a
time
(
and
many
such
I
could
tell
you
)
a
poor
Minister
sending
in
to
speak
with
him
,
abruptly
he
brake
off
a
most
serious
discourse
,
saying
,
But
the
Minister
must
not
stay
,
lest
we
should
seem
to
take
state
upon
us
.

When
in
his
sickness
,
one
hoped
for
his
recovery
,
he
gave
the
answer
that
St.
Ambrose
gave
to
the
Nobles
of
Milain
,
that
desired
him
to
pray
for
life
:
Non
ita
inter
vos
vixi
,
ut
pudeat
ms
vivere
;
nec
timeo
mori
,
quoniam
dominum
bonuns
habemus
.
15.
Not
many
hours
before
his
departure
(
for
non
obiit
sed
abiit
)
I
found
him
,
as
me
seemed
,
victorious
upon
some
conflict
(
Quis
sarctorum
sine
certamine
coronatur
?
)
I
drew
near
his
bed
,
he
reached
for
my
hand
and
greezed
it
,
saying
,
I
know
whom
I
have
believed
,
and
I
am
perswaded
,
that
he
is
able
to
keep
that
which
I
have
committed
unto
him
against
that
day
.
This
occasioned
something
about
relyance
on
God
by
Faith
:
Yea
,
said
he
,
I
had
fainted
,
unless
I
had
believed
to
see
the
goodness
of
the
Lord
in
the
land
of
the
living
.
And
again
,
The
mercies
of
the
Lord
are
from
generation
to
generation
,
on
them
that
fear
him
.
Mercy
brought
in
thoughts
of
Christ
:
Oh
(
saith
he
,
in
the
words
of
that
holy
Martyr
)
none
but
Christ
,
none
but
Christ
!
Being
told
how
pretiously
the
Lord
esteemeth
the
death
of
such
:
He
replyed
,
Right
dear
,
right
dear
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
is
the
death
of
his
Saints
.
Some
prayers
made
for
him
upon
his
desire
,
at
conclusion
,
he
said
:
Amen
,
I
thank
God
:
Amen
,
enough
:
Amen
,
I
thank
God
.
16.
When
he
was
leaving
this
life
he
looked
on
his
daughter
,
and
on
the
rest
of
his
children
in
the
chamber
present
,
and
said
:
Christ
bless
you
all
.
And
like
that
old
Patriarch
,
he
moved
himself
upon
the
bed
,
and
cried
,
Christ
Jesus
help
,
and
so
Christ
took
him
,
and
conclamatum

.

now

WHen
ne●ly
,
and
indeed
very
late
,
there
came
unto
us
a
report
of
the
Petition
for
Reformation
(
forsooth
)
of
the
Church
of
England
,
offered
to
his
Majestie
(
as
is
pretended
)
by
a
thousand
Ministers
:
though
we
found
in
it
nothing
new
,
and
what
hath
been
answered
heretofore
a
thousand
times
;
Yet
,
because
they
boast
of
their
number
,
that
these
Millenaries
may
know
,
if
Saul
hath
his
thousand
,
David
in
this
cause
will
never
want
his
ten
thousand
,
we
were
desirous
(
notwithstanding
the
work
was
altogether
unworthy
of
it
)
to
provide
an
answer
.
Whilst
we
were
meditating
thereof
;
there
is
brought
unto
our
hands
,
that
most
Elegant
answer
of
the
Vniuersity
of
Oxford
,
being
a
most
rational
and
brief
confutation
of
all
that
had
by
those
men
so
laboriously
been
framed
and
feigned
:
upon
sight
whereof
,
nothing
seemed
to
remain
for
us
(
whom
in
this
best
of
causes
,
the
zeal
and
industry
of
our
Brethren
easily
able
to
refute
such
Adversaries
,
had
prevented
)
but
this
,
to
add
unto
the
weight
of
their
Arguments
(
because
those
men
glory
most
in
their
multitudes
)
the
number
of
our
Suffrages
.
This
we
did
formerly
(
as
it
were
divining
)
both
foresee
and
provide
for
.
For
when
,
after
the
death
of
our
Excellent
Queen
Elizabeth
,
alwaies
the
same
and
most
constant
(
a
singular
and
incomparable
example
in
a
woman
)
in
this
best
of
causes
,
those
men
did
not
so
much
deplore
the
loss
of
a
most
Religious
Princess
,
and
the
case
of
Religion
it self
(
if
not
dying
with
her
,
yet
at
least
in
very
great
hazard
)
as
meditate
,
and
every
day
attempt
Innovations
against
the
new
Kings
approach
:
Our
Vniversity
very
opportunely
judged
her
aid
to
be
needful
,
and
a
decree
to
be
made
in
a
full
and
solemn
Convocation
:
That
,
whosoever
shall
in
the
Vniversity

,
in

other
way
,
the
Doctrine
or
Discipline
of
the

,
or
any

thereof
,
by

established
;
He
shall
be
excluded
from
taking
any
degree
,
and
be
suspended
ipso
facto
from
the
degree
he
hath
taken

by
Unanimous
consent
of

,
concerning
that
Discipline
which
we
have
not
forced
on
us
,
but
freely
received
and
entertained
.
Whose
consent
so
fraternally
and
sweetly
concurring
with
the
Oxford-answer
,
with
Scripture
,
Fathers
and
Councils
,
with
the
decrees
of
our
Princes
,
our
Laws
and
Parliaments
;
Away
with
those
thousand
Ministers
,
let
them
go
and
answer
at
thousand
Books
of
ours
,
already
written
and
set
forth
for
their
satisfaction
,
before
they
do
so
impudently
obtrude
their
Crambe
so
often
boiled
,
upon
so
wise
a
King
,
and
so
excellently
learned
.
Or
if
they
would
have
Suffrages
rather
to
be
numbred
then
weighed
,
let
the
poor
Fellows
,
forsaken
of
the
Universities
and
Muses
,
bethink
themselves
,
of
how
little
account
,
what
nothings
they
are
.
Thus
we
take
our
leave
of
our
most
dear
Brehren
in
Christ
;
and
,
as
we
and
our
Vniversity
,
beng
united
to
you
,
both
by
similitude
of
studies
and
manners
,
are
most
fitmly
Yours
;
So
we
intreat
you
,
alwaies
to
continue
your
love
to
Us.
