GENTLEMEN
,
HAving
in
the
late
evil
Times
(
never
to
be
forgotten
)
been
comforted
and
relieved
by
the
real
Favours
and
pious
Munificence
of
your
Noble
Parents
,
I
do
gladly
make
this
grateful
Remembrance
thereof
in
the
Dedication
of
this
part
of
my
Memorials
of
Worthy
Persons
to
your
Worthy
Names
.
In
these
Papers
,
though
it
were
my
principal
design
to
honour
the
memory
of
the
Lights
of
our
own
Church
,
yet
have
I
now
and
then
taken
in
one
of
the
Roman
or
Genevian
Perswasion
,
thinking
They
might
not
be
unsociable
here
,
whose
holy
Souls
,
I
believe
(
now
that
the
Certamina
are
ended
by
death
pulveris
exigui
jactu
)
rest
in
peace
.
Some
Hypereriticks
(
who
are
pleas'd
with
nothi●g
but
what
they
do
themselves
,
if
yet
they
do
any
thing
at
all
:
)
will
despise
me
,
and
say
I
do
actum
agere
,
and
write
what
is
written
already
.
Truly
,
as
a
Historian
does
not
make
,
but
frame
and
compose
his
matter
;
so
an
Historical
Collector
performs
his
Undertaking
,
when
with
diligence
and
judgment
he
selecteth
and
compileth
dispersed
pieces
for
the
ease
and
benefit
of
his
Readers
.
If
in
this
Collection
I
have
done
any
service
to
Young
Gentlemen
,
and
other
ingenuous
Persons
,
to
incline
them
more
to
love
piety
and
learning
,
to
converse
with
good
Men
and
good
Books
,
to
become
loving
friends
and
Patrons
,
or
obedient
servants
and
Ministers
to
the
Church
of
England
;
This
is
my
Delight
and
Joy
;
This
is
,
to
me
,
instead
of
Praise
,
or
any
other
Reward
of
my
well-meant
Endeavours
.
That
I

MEMORIALS

I.
Dr
JOHN

,
Dean
of

*
Coheleth
in
the
Heb.
signifies
Ecclesiastes
,
the
Preacher
.
Colet
is
that
part
of
the
ring
wherein
the
precious
stone
or
signet
is
set

Thomas
.
in
voce
pala
.
Colet
was
born
in
London
,
the
Son
of
Henry
Colet
(
Knight
,
and
twice
Lord
Major
of
that
City
)
and
Christian
his
Wife
,
a
Matron
of
very
rare
Piety
and
Christian
Fortitude
.
She
had
11
Sons
,
and
as
many
Daughters
of
the
same
Husband
:
all
which
she
saw
bu●ied
,
except
John
,
her
first
born
.
Yet
,
when
she
was
fourscore
and
ten
years
of
Age
,
her
countenance
was
so
comely
and
entire
,
her
behaviour
so
cheerful
and
pleasant
,
as
if
she
had
never
had
any
sorrow
or
any
childbearing
in
her
life
.
So
much
strength
of
mind
was
shewen
in
a
woman
,
caused
not
by
Philosophy
or
human
learning
,
but
by
sincere
piety
to
God
and
trust
in
Christ
.
2.
Nature
was
as
indulgent
to
him
as
fortune
;
for
he
had
a
very
proper
,
tall
,
handsom
and
comely
body
.
In
his
younger
daies
he
much
addicted
himself
to
the
study
of
Scholastical
Philosophy
,
exquisitely
learned
in
the
liberal
Arts
:
All
Tullies
works
were
as
familiar
to
him
as
his
Epistles
:
so
well
read
in
Plato
and
Plotinus
,
that
when
I
heard
him
speak
,
methought
I
heard
Plato
himself
:
not
ignorant
in
any
part
of
the
Mathematicks
.
3.
Being
thus
well
principled
at
home
(
Master
of
Arts
)
he
began
to
look
abroad
,
and
improve
his
stockin
forein
parts
.
In
France
he
added
to
his
Humanity
,
what
he
chought
necessary
for
the
study
of
Divinity
:
which
then
he
effectually
prosecuted
in
Italy
.
He
studied
the
Fathers
and
Schoolmen
:
was
well
versed
in
both
Laws
:
singularly
read
in
History
,
both
Civil
and
Ecclesiastical
.
Modern
Writers
also
,
he
both
read
and
diligently
imitated
,
accommodating
thereby
his
stile
to
the
Pulpit
,
and
preaching
of
the
Gospel
.
4.
After
his
return
from
Italy
,
he
staid
not
long
in
London
,
(
where
his
Parents
lived
)
but
chose
to
live
in
Oxford
;
where
he
publickly
(
yet
freely
and
without
stipend
)
expounded
S.
Paul's
Epistles
,
being
not
full
thirty
years
of
age
,
yonger
than
▪
was
by
two
or
three
months
.
I
here
and
then
I
had
the
happiness
to
come
first
acquainted
with
him
.
Though
at
that
time
he
had
neither
took
,
nor
desired
any
degree
in
Divinity
;
yet
there
was
no
Doctor
whatsoever
,
either
of
Theology
or
Law
,
no
Abbot
nor
dignified
Person
in
the
whole
University
,
that
did
not
frequent
and
(
which
is
more
)
take
notes
of
his
Lectures
.
Which
was
to
be
imputed
either
to
Colet's
authority
,
or
their
studiousness
and
modesty
,
choose
you
whether
.
5.
But
before
he
left
Oxford
,
they
honour'd
him
with
the
Degree
of
Doctor
:
which
he
accepted
,
rather
to
please
the
Givers
than
himself
.
From
that
University
and
these
sacred
Employments
,
he
was
called
back
to
London
by
the
favour
of
K.
Henry
VII
.
who
bestowed
upon
him
the
Deanty
of
S.
Paul's
:
that
he
might
be
President
of
his
Colledge
,
whose
Epistles
and
learning
he
loved
so
well
:
(
He
was
made
both
Doctor
and
Dean
An.
1504.
)
Of
all
the
Deanries
in
Engla●d
the
highest
in
esteem
,
but
not
of
greatest
value
:
which
Colet
embraced
rather
as
a
barthensom
charge
,
than
honour
.
And
therefore
,
as
soon
as
he
had
regulated
his
Colledge
of
Prebends
,
and
raised
up
the
antient
Discipline
that
was
fallen
down
,
he
resolved
(
which
was
not
usual
in
those
times
)
to
preach
every
Holy
day
in
his
Cathedral
,
over
and
above
his
Sermons
at
Court
,
and
many
other
Churches
.
At
S.
Paul's
he
ran
over
,
sometimes
a
whole
Epistle
,
sometime
,
a
whole
Gospel
,
the
Creed
,
or
the
Lords
prayer
.
Wheresoever
he
preached
,
he
was
exceedingly
followed
,
both
by
the
chief
Citizens
and
Courtiers
:
particularly
by
Sr
Thomas
More
(
afterwards
Lord
Chanc
:
of
England
)
as
appears
by
this
following
passage
of
his
Letter
:
What
can
be
more
troublesom
to
me
,
than
to
be
deprived
of
your
sweet
company
?
having
been
so
long
used
to
enjoy
your
most
prudent
counsel
,
to
be
refresht
with
your
most
pleasant
societie
,
to
be
rouzed
with
your
most
grave
Sermons
,
and
bettered
by
your
excellent
example
and
life
:
in
a
word
,
in
whose
very
countenance
and
gesture
I
was
wont
to
be
unspeakablie
delighted
.
6.
The
Dean's
Table
,
which
in
former
times
had
,
under
pretence
of
good
house
keeping
,
been
too
much
prostitute
to
excesse
,
he
reduced
to
frugality
.
For
he
kept
himself
to
one
meal
a
day
many
years
together
,
both
before
and
after
his
preferment
:
which
at
once
cut
off
all
his
supper-guests
:
late
Dinners
not
a
few
:
and
the
more
,
because
his
entertainment
(
though
neat
)
was
neither
costly
nor
excessive
;
his
sitting
short
,
and
his
whole
discourse
such
as
pleased
none
but
those
that
were
either
learned
or
pious
.
For
soon
after
he
had
said
Grace
,
his
Boy
read
a
Chapter
(
distinctly
and
aloud
)
out
of
S.
Paul's
Epistles
,
or
Solomon's
Proverbs
;
from
which
he
himself
,
for
the
most
part
,
pickt
the
subject
of
that
meals
discourse
,
asking
not
onely
Scholars
,
but
even
ordinary
people
,
if
they
were
ingenuous
,
what
was
the
meaning
of
this
or
that
passage
:
with
as
much
satisfaction
to
their
minds
,
as
refreshment
to
their
bodies
.
He
affected
neatness
in
his
housholdstuff
,
cloaths
,
books
,
meat
;
but
not
magnificence
:
and
was
so
much
averse
from
all
filthinesse
,
that
he
could
not
endure
solecisms
or
barbarous
language
.
He
was
hugely
delighted
with
the
conference
of
his
friends
,
who
oft
kept
him
till
late
at
night
:
but
all
his
conference
was
either
of
literature
,
or
Jesus
Christ
.
If
he
had
no
acceptable
friend
to
chat
with
(
for
every
one
did
not
please
him
)
his
boy
did
read
somewhat
to
him
out
of
godly
books
.
Sometimes
he
called
me
to
ride
abroad
with
him
:
and
then
he
was
as
merry
as
any
man
alive
:
but
a
good
book
was
alwaies
his
Comrade
in
his
journey
,
and
his
talk
was
continually
of
Christ
.
7.
Whatsoever
Revenues
accrued
unto
him
by
the
Church
,
he
entirely
committed
to
his
Steward
,
to
be
distributed
and
spent
in
house-keeping
.
His
own
hereditary
rents
and
profits
(
which
were
vast
)
he
himself
distributed
to
pious
uses
.
For
,
his
Father
being
dead
,
money
flowed
in
apace
from
what
was
left
him
by
inheritance
:
and
lest
that
being
kept
should
breed
some
disease
in
him
,
he
therewith
erected
a
stately
new
School
in
Paul's
Church-yard
,
dedicated
to
the
Holy
Child
JESUS
:
whereunto
he
joyned
fair
dwellings
for
two
Schoolmasters
,
to
whom
he
assigned
liberal
stipends
,
that
they
might
teach
gratis
,
but
so
as
they
should
not
admit
above
a
certain
number
(
viz.
153.
from
Jo.
XXI
.
11.
)
Above
the
Masters
Chair
,
stands
the
Holy
Child
JESUS
,
curiously
engraven
,
in
the
posture
of
one
reading
a
Lecture
,
with
this
Motto
,
HEAR
HIM
:
which
words
I
advised
him
to
set
up
.
And
all
the
young
fry
,
when
they
come
in
and
go
out
of
School
(
besides
their
appointed
prayers
)
salute
Christ
with
an
Hymn

and
the
best
Scholar
of
each
sits
in
a
seat
somewhat
more
eminent
than
the
rest
,

the
word

in

over

Our
quicksighted
Dr
Colet
saw
very
well
,
that
the
main
hope
and
pillar
of
a
Common-wealth
consists
in
furnishing
youth
with
good
literature
,
and
therefore
did
he
bestow
so
much
care
and
cost
on
this
School
.
Though
it
stood
him
in
and
infinite
sum
of
money
to
build
and
endow
it
,
yet
he
would
accept
of
no
partner
.
One
left
indeed
a
Legacie
of
an
100
pounds
sterling
to
the
structure
of
it
;
but
Colet
thinking
,
that
if
he
took
it
,
Tam

sumtus
ut

deterrere
possint
.
Eras

which
book
he
wrote
for
the
benefit
of
Paul
's
School
,
as
he
wrote
his
book
called
Ecclesiastes
(
at
the
request
of
B.
Fisher
)
for
Christ's
Coll.
and
S.
Johns
in
Cambrige
.
some
lay
people
would
challenge
to
themselves
,
I
know
not
what
authority
over
the
School
,
did
by
the
permission
of
the
Bishop
bestow
it
upon
holy
Vestments
for
the
Quire
.
Yet
,
though
he
would
suffer
no
lay
man
to
have
a
finger
in
the
building
,
he
entrusted
no
Clergy
man
(
not
so
much
as
the
Bishop
,
Dean
and
Chapter
of
S.
Pauls
)
nor
any
of
the
Nobility
,
with
the
oversight
of
the
Revenues
,
but
some
married
Citizens
of
honest
report
.
When
he
was
asked
,
why
he
would
do
so
?
he
answered
,
That
there
was
nothing
certain
in
human
affairs
;
but
he
found
least
corruption
in
such
men
.

esteemed
him
for
his
School
;
so
many
wondred
why
he
would
build
so
stately
an
house
,
within
the
bounds
of
the
Carthusian
Monastery
,
not
far
from
the
Palace
at
Richmond
:
but
he
told
them
,
That
he
provided
that
seat
for
himself
in
his
old
age
,
when
he
should
be
unfit
for
labours
,
or
broken
with
diseases
,
and
so
constrained
to
retire
from
the
society
of
men
.
There
he
intended
to
philosophize
with
two
or
three
eminent
friends
,
among
which
he
was
wont
to
reckon
me
,
but
death
prevented
him
.
For
being
few
years
before
his
decease
visited
thrice
with
the
sweating
sicknesse
(
a
disease
which
seised
no
Country
men
but
English
)
though
he
recovered
,
yet
he
thereupon
grew
consumptive
,
and
so
dyed
.
He
was
buried
in
the
South
side
of
the
Quire
of
his
own
Cathedral
,
in
a
low
Sepulchre
,
which
he
to
that
end
had
chose
for
himself
some
years
before
,
with
this
inscription
,
JOHN
COLET
.
10.
Somewhat
I
shall
adde
,
first
of
his
Nature
,
secondly
of
his
paradoxical
Opinions
,
and
lastly
of
his
Afflictions
,
wherewith
his
ingenuous
piety
was
exercised
:
for
some
whereof
he
might
have
thanked
his
own
natural
temper
.
For
he
was
of
a
very
high
spirit
,
huge
impatient
of
any
injury
,
wonderfully
prone
to
lascivioufnesse
,
luxury
and
overmuch
sleep
,
to
feasting
and
facetiousnesse
above
measure
(
all
this
he
confessed
to
me
himself
)
and
he
was
not
wholly
safe
from
covetousnesse
.
But
against
each
of
these
,
he
fought
such
a
good
fight
,
by
Philosophy
,
Divine
Contemplations
,
watching
,
fasting
and
prayer
,
that
he
led
the
whole
course
of
his
life
free
from
the
infections
of
this
world
;
and
as
far
as
I
could
any
waies
gather
(
by
familiarity
and
much
liberal
converse
with
him
)
was
a
pure
Virgin
to
his
dying
day
.
All
his
wealth
he
distributed
to
pious
uses
.
He
did
so
dayly
endeavour
to
conquer
all
his
passions
,
and
subdue
the
haughtinesse
of
his
mind
by
reason
,
that
he
would
take
it
well
to
be
admonished
even
by
a
child
.
Lasciviousnesse
,
sleep
and
luxury
he
chased
away
by
abstaining
constantly
from
supper
,
by
continual
sobriety
,
indefatigable
study
,
and
holy
Conferences
.
But
yet
,
when
there
was
occasion
,
either
to
discourse
with
fair
Ladies
,
or
jest
with
witty
persons
,
or
feast
with
pleasant
,
a
man
might
easily
perceive
some
footsteps
of
his
nature
:
which
made
him
,
for
the
most
part
,
keep
from
the
society
of
all
lay
people
,
but
especially
from
banquets
,
to
which
,
when
he
must
needs
come
,
he
commonly
took
with
him
me
or
some
learned
friend
,
with
whom
he
discoursed
in
Latin
,
that
he
might
avoid
idle
talk
.
His
custom
was
to
eat
onely
of
one
dish
,
to
content
himself
with
one
glasse
of
bear
or
ale
,
or
two
at
the
most
.
And
,
though
he
was
delighted
with
good
wine
,
yet
he
drank
very
little
of
it
,
alwaies
suspecting
his
own
sanguine
complexion
and
inclination
,
and
being
wary
of
all
those
things
,
by
which
he
might
offend
any
person
whatsoever
.
In
all
my
life
I
never
saw
a
more
happie
Wit
:
and
thence
it
came
that
he
was
exceedingly
pleased
with
such
Wits
as
were
like
himself
:
but
at
all
times
,
when
he
might
chuse
his
discourse
,
it
was
of
such
things
as
prepared
him
for
the
immortality
of
a
life
to
come
.
And
when
at
any
time
he
refresht
himself
with
pleasant
stories
,
he
did
not
fail
to
make
use
of
his
Philosophy
in
them
.
He
was
much
pleased
with
the
simplicity
of
nature
in
little
children
(
to
the
imitation
of
●hom
we
are
called
by
our
blessed
Saviour
)
being
wont
to
compare
them
to
Angels
.
11.
Now
for
the
second
particular
his
Opinions
,
he
much
differed
in
them
from
the
Vulgar
.
The
Scotists
(
of
whose
acutenesse
most
men
have
an
high
conceit
)
he
esteemed
heavy
fellows
,
and
any
thing
rather
than
ingenuous
.
And
yet
he
had
a
worse
opinion
of
Thomas
Aquinas
than
of
Scotus
:
who
,
said
he
,
if
he
had
not
been
verie
arrogant
,
would
never
so
rashlie
(
and
yet
so
magisteriallie
)
have
presumed
to
define
all
points
of
religion
:
and
if
he
had
not
savoured
too
much
of
the
spirit
of
the
world
.
he
would
not
have
polluted
all
the
doctrine
of
Christ
with
so
much
of
his
own
prophane
Philosophie
.
No
man
was
more
a
friend
to
true
Christian
piety
,
yet
he
had
little
or
no
kindness
for
Monks
,
or
rather
I
should
say
for
those
who
are
now
(
for
the
most
part
falsly
)
so
called
:
and
therefore
,
while
he
lived
,
he
gave
them
but
little
,
and
when
he
dyed
,
nothing
:
not
that
he
hated
their
profession
,
but
because
he
saw
they
did
not
live
according
to
it
.
Yet
his
desire
was
,
to
have
disengaged
himself
from
the
world
,
and
betaken
himself
to
a
Monastery
,
if
he
could
any
any where
have
found
a
Society
,
that
was
truly
and
unanimously
resolved
upon
an
Evangelical
life
.
Though
he
lived
very
chastly
himself
,
yet
he
had
a
very
charitable
opinion
of
those
Priests
and
Monks
,
who
had
no
other
crime
but
venery
:
not
that
he
did
not
heartily
abhor
the
sin
,
but
because
he
found
such
men
far
lesse
mischieveous
than
others
(
if
compared
)
who
were
haughty
,
envious
,
backbiters
,
hypoctites
,
vain
,
unlearned
,
wholly
given
to
the
getting
of
money
and
honour
.
And
he
was
not
more
averse
to
any
sort
of
men
,
than
such
Bishops
,
who
were
Wolves
instead
of
Shepherds
,
and
commended
themselves
by
external
service
of
God
,
ceremonies
,
benedictions
and
indulgences
to
the
people
,
while
with
all
their
hearts
they
served
the
world
:
i.
e.
glory
and
gain
.
He
was
not
much
displeased
with
them
,
who
would
not
have
images
(
either
painted
or
carved
,
gold
or
silver
)
worshipt
in
Churches
:
nor
with
them
,
who
doubted
whether
a
notorious
wicked
Priest
could
consecrate
the
Sacrament
.
Hereby
not
favouring
their
error
,
but
expressing
his
indignation
against
such
Clergy-men
,
who
by
an
open
bad
life
gave
occasion
to
this
suspicion
.
As
he
did
much
approve
of
secret
confession
(
professing
that
he
never
had
so
much
comfort
from
any
thing
as
that
)
so
he
much
condemned
anxiety
in
it
,
and
repetition
.
He
was
content
to
Sacrifice
on
Sundays
and
Holy
daies
,
or
some
few
daies
beside
:
either
to
gain
more
time
for
his
sacred
studies
,
and
fit
himself
the
better
for
his
Pulpit
employments
,
and
the
businesse
of
his
Cathedral
;
or
,
because
he
found
that
his
dovotion
had
a
greater
edge
,
when
it
was
sharpned
with
intervals
:
and
yet
,
he
would
not
condemn
them
who
were
minded
to
come
to
the
Lords
Table
every
day
.
Though
he
was
a
very
learned
man
himself
,
yet
he
did
not
prize
the
vast
and
confused
learning
of
such
as
wander
among
various
sciences
and
books
,
saying
,
They
got
rather
a
learned
sort
of
madness
,
than
any
true
incentive
to
Christian
innocence
,
simplicitie
and
charitie
.
He
dissented
from
innumerable
opinions
commonly
received
in
the
Schools
:
in
which
,
he
would
sometimes
tell
his
mind
to
his
friends
,
but
say
nothing
to
others
,
lest
he
should
incur
a
double
inconvenience
,
loose
his
own
credit
,
and
do
them
no
good
,
perhaps
harm
.
12.
And
now
in
the
last
place
hear
his
Afflictions
.
He
never
agreed
well
with
his
Bishop
,
who
(
to
say
nothing
of
his
manners
)
was
a
superstitious
and
stubborn
Scotist
.
Neither
was
the
Doctor
acceptable
to
most
of
his
own
Colledge
,
because
he
was
very
tenacious
of
regular
discipline
;
and
the
Prebends
complained
,
that
he
used
them
as
Monks
:
whereas
indeed
that
Colledge
was
antiently
called
East-monasterie
.
The
old
Bishop
exhibited
Articles
against
him
to
the
Archbishop
of
Cant
:
That
he
said
,
Images
were
not
to
be
worshiped
,
&c.
But
the
Archbishop
being
well
acquainted
with
Colet's
excellencies
,
instead
of
being
his
Judge
,
became
his
Advocate
.
Then
the
old
man
strove
to
incense
the
Court
against
him
,
especially
K.
Henry
VIII
.
himself
:
because
the
Doctor
(
when
the
King
was
raising
forces
against
the
French
)
had
said
in
a
Sermon
:
That
an
unjust
peace
was
to
be
preferred
before
a
most
just
war
.
Here
the
King
(
who
was
an
excellent
person
in
his
youth
)
gave
an
evident
proof
of
his
Royal
parts
,
exhorting
the
Dean
privately
;
To
go
on
in
his
preaching
,
freelie
to
tax
the
corrupt
manners
of
that
age
,
and
not
to
withdraw
his
light
in
those
most
dark
times
;
adding
,
That
he
knew
very
well
what
incensed
the
Bishops
so
highlie
against
him
,
and
how
much
good
the
Dean
had
done
by
his
Divine
life
and
holie
Doctrine
to
the
English
Church
and
Nation
:
Lastly
,
that
he
would
so
curb
their
endeavours
,
that
it
should
appear
to
the
world
,
Whoever
troubled
Colet
should
not
escape
unpunisht
.
Hereupon
the
Dean
humbly
thanked
the
King
for
his
Royal
favour
,
but
beseeched
him
not
to
do
so
;
professing
,
That
he
had
rather
lay
down
his
preferment
,
then
that
any
should
suffer
for
his
sake
.
Again
,
upon
Good-Friday
,
the
Dean
made
a
Sermon
to
the
King
and
Courtiers
,
which
was
much
admired
,
concerning
the
victorie
of
Christ
:
wherein
he
exhorted
all
Christians
to
fight
under
the
banner
of
their
heavenly
King
,
and
overcome
,
saying
,
That
they
,
who
either
through
hatred
,
or
ambition
,
or
cov●teousness
,
do
fight
with
evil
men
,
and
so
kill
one
another
,
fight
not
under
the
banner
of
Christ
,
but
the
Divel
;
shewing
withal
.
How
hard
a
thing
it
is
,
to
die
like
a
Christian
:
How
few
go
forth
to
battel
free
from
hatred
and
covetousnesse
;
and
how
difficult
for
such
to
be
in
charitie
(
without
which
no
man
shall
see
God
)
who
sheath
their
swords
in
their
brethrens
bowels
:
adding
,
That
they
should
rather
imitate
their
King
Christ
,
than
Pagan
Caesars
and
Alexa●ders
.
And
he
had
so
many
other
smart
passages
to
this
purpose
,
that
his
Majesty
was
somewhat
afraid
,
lest
this
Sermon
would
dishearten
the
Soldiers
that
were
listed
.
But
,
when
Colet
came
before
the
King
,
in
his
garden
at
Greenwich
,
the
King
bids
him
cover
his
head
,
and
speak
his
mind
freely
:
and
then
his
Highness
began
thus
,
Dean
,
be
not
surprised
with
needlesse
fears
,
I
did
not
send
for
you
hither
to
disturb
your
most
holy
labours
,
which
I
resolve
to
cherish
as
much
as
I
can
;
but
to
unlode
my
conscience
of
some
scruples
,
and
to
desire
your
advice
concerning
my
dutie
.
The
Conference
lasted
almost
an
hour
and
an
half
,
and
I
must
not
relate
it
all
.
Only
,
his
Majestie
wisht
,
That
what
the
Dean
spake
truly
he
would
speak
some
time
or
other
more
plainly
,
lest
the
rude
Soldiers
should
misunderstand
it
,
as
if
he
had
said
,
That
no
war
is
lawful
among
Christians
.
So
the
King
called
fo●
a
Cup
,
and
drank
to
him
,
embraced
him
most
kindly
,
and
promi●●ng
him
all
the
favours
that
could
be
e●pected
from
a
most
loving
Prince
,
dismissed
him
;
and
turning
to
the
Courtiers
said
,
Well
,
let
other
men
chuse
what
Doctors
they
please
,
and
make
much
of
them
,
This
man
shall
be
my
Doctor
.
From
that
day
forward
never
durst
his
enemies
trouble
Colet
any
more
:
a
person
,
that
,
in
an
high
fortune
and
plenty
,
was
led
and
governed
not
by
his
nature
,
but
by
Christ
:
in
a
word
,
whom
I
shall
not
doubt
to
reckon
in
the
Catalogue
of
my
Saints
,
though
he
be
never
canonized
by
any
Pope
.
Thus
far
Erasmus
.

I
shall
onely
annex
a
few
lines
collected
out
of
Stow's
Survey
of
London
in
fol.
concerning
his
kindred
.
His
father
Sr
Henrie
Colet
(
son
to
Robert
Colet
of
Wendover
in
Buckinghamshier
,
Esq.
)
was
buried
at
Stepney
,
where
his
Monument
still
remains
.
And
the
Pictures
of
Sr
Henrie
and
his
Dame
Christian
,
and
ten

his
Sons
,
and
ten

,
on

But
he
was
born
in

near

LEarning
is
so
excellent
an
endowment
,
that
the
Teachers
of
it
ought
to
be
●ad
in
great
honour
.
And
I
scarce
know
a
greater
defect
in
this
Nation
,
than
the
w●nt
of
such
encouragement
and
maintenance
as
might
render
the
Calling
of
a
School-master
so
honourable
,
as
men
of
great
learning
might
be
invited
unto
that
service
.
Errors
in
the
first
concoction
,
are
not
mended
in
the
second
:
what
is
lo●t
in
the
School
,
is
hardly
ever
fully
recovered
in
the
Vniversitie
,
And
by
how
much
the
fewer
men
of
great
worth
and
parts
are
imployed
in
that
Service
,
by
so
much
the
more
should
the
loss
of
rare
and
worthy
men
in
that
way
be
bewayled
by
us
.
2.
Great
was
the
happinesse
of
this
Citie
in
this
particular
,
while
it
enjoyed
this
worthy
man
,
and
great
the
losse
in
being
deprived
of
him
.
For
though
,
through
Gods
goodness
,
there
be
many
excellent
men
remaining
,
out
of
whom
some
reparation
may
be
made
of
so
great
a
damage
;
yet
still
I
look
on
the
departure
of
this
man
,
as
if
the
middle
and
most
precious
stone
in
a
rich
Jewel
should
drop
out
,
which
,
though
many
others
remain
in
,
cannot
but
be
greatly
missed
.
3.
Our
dear
Brother
was
a
learned
man
,
learned
in
the
whole
Body
of
Learning
:
not
only
an
excellent
Linguist
and
Grammarian
,
Historian
,
Cosmographer
,
Artist
,
but
a
most
judicious
Divine
,
and
a
great
Antiquarie
in
the
most
memorable
things
of
this
Nation
.
Into
whatsoever
parts
of
the
Land
he
travelled
,
he
was
able
to
refresh
and
to
instruct
his
Fellow-travellers
in
the
most
remarkable
particulars
of
every
Country
.
Pausanias
was
not
more
accurate
in
the
description
of
Greece
,
than
he
of
England
.
And
I
have
heard
,
that
he
had
it
sometimes
in
his
thoughts
to
have
published
some
thing
in
this
kind
.
He
was
a
man
of
a
solid
Judgment
:
he
alwaies
spake
è
sulco
pectoris
,
and
I
have
,
not
without
great
satisfaction
,
heard
him
give
his
Notions
upon
difficult
places
of
Scripture
,
and
Arguments
of
Divinity
in
ordidinary
discourse
,
as
if
he
had
elaborately
studied
them
.
4.
He
was
able
out
of
his
full
Treasurie
and
Storehouse
of
Learning
,
to
bring
forth
both
new
and
old
.
I
never
knew
any
learned
subject
spoken
of
in
his
company
,
wherein
he
was
not
able
most
dextrously
to
deliver
his
opinion
.
He
was
a
man
of
a
copious
discourse
,
but
withal
so
solid
and
judicious
,
as
did
ever
delight
his
Audito●s
,
never
weary
them
.
As
Livie
said
of
Cato
,
Natum
ad
id
diceres
,
quodcunque
ageret
,
we
may
say
of
him
,
Doctum
in
hoc
uno
crederes
,
quodcunque
diceret
.
5.
He
was
a
Worker
as
well
as
a
Speaker
;
he
was
not
a
barren
figtree
,
that
had
leaves
without
fruit
;
nor
a
tinkling
Cymbal
,
noise
without
love
;
he
taught
by
his
life
as
well
as
by
his
learning
.
Verbi●
tantum
Philosophari
,
non
est
doctoris
sed
histrionis
,
as
he
said
:
and
Dicta
factis
deficientibus
erubescunt
,
saith
Tertullian
.
And
indeed
,
he
was
a
man
of
fixed
and
resolved
honestie
,
and
wondred
in
his
sicknesse
,
what
men
did
learn
Christianitie
for
,
if
it
were
not
in
every
condition
to
practice
it
,
and
ado●n
the
profession
of
it
.
6.
He
was
a
patient
man
:
patient
in
his
School
;
patient
in
his
sufferings
,
willingly
be●●ing
the
reproach
of
Christ
,
and
not
fearing
the
wrath
of
any
man
,
in
comparison
of
the
reverence
he
did
bear
to
his
own
conscience
:
patient
in
sicknesse
,
composing
himself
with
as
unshaken
confidence
to
dye
,
as
in
time
of
health
he
would
have
gone
about
any
other
businesse
.
7.
He
was
a
faithful
man
,
most
exactly
answerable
to
the
trust
of
his
place
:
opprimi
potius
onere
officii
maluit
,
quam
illud
deponere
,
as
once
Tullie
spake
.
It
was
hardly
possible
for
any
friend
by
any
importunity
to
draw
him
from
a
most
punctual
observation
of
timely
attendance
upon
the
duties
of
his
place
.
And
so
tenderly
fearful
was
he
of
miscarriage
herein
,
and
so
sensible
of
any
the
least
defect
,
that
in
a
former
Sicknesse
he
desired
,
if
he
should
then
have
dyed
,
to
have
been
buried
at
the
School-door
,
in
regard
he
had
in
his
ministration
there
come
short
of
the
duties
which
he
owed
unto
the
School
.
The
fullest
ears
of
corn
bow
their
heads
;
and
the
most
worthy
men
are
most
humble
,
and
apprehensive
of
their
own
failings
.
8.
He
was
a
constant
man
:
punctual
and
immovable
from
honest
principles
.
Vir
rigidae
innocentiae
,
as
Livie
said
of
Cato
.
He
was
of
Polemo's
judgment
in
this
point
,
Debere
in
esse
quandam
moribus
contumaciam
,
That
men
having
proved
all
things
should
hold
fast
the
best
,
and
be
pertinacious
in
goodness
.
9.
He
was
a
Wise
man
.
Prudence
is
requisite
to
tame
and
calm
the
wild
and
unswaied
humors
of
yong
children
.
It
is
noted
as
a
special
piece
of
Socrates's
Wisdom
,
that
he
did
by
his
instruction
fix
and
reduce
the
wandring
and
vitious
inclinations
of
Alcibiades
.
10.
I
might
go
on
,
and
instance
in
the
Authority
,
Gravity
,
Meeknesse
,
observable
in
our
dear
friend
,
but
I
only
adde
his
great
care
of
the
School
at
his
last
,
that
there
might
be
an
able
Successor
chosen
.
The
evening
before
he
dyed
,
with
great
earnestnesse
he
commended
it
to
the
Company
by
a
Member
thereof
,
who
came
to
visit
him
,
That
they
should
use
their
uttermost
wisdom
and
care
to
chuse
an
able
,
learned
,
religious
and
orthodox
man
into
the
place
;
naming
one
,
of
whose
fitnesse
both
he
and
the
Company
and
School
had
had
before
great
experience
.
And
so
much
were
they
pleased
to
honour
the
judgment
and
integrity
of
this
worthy
man
,
that
presently
after
his
death
they
pitched
upon
an
excellent
learned
man
,
whom
he
had
so
providently
commended
to
them
.
11.
This
worthy
friend
of
mine
,
the
Friday
and
Saturday
before
his
own
Fit
,
was
pleased
to
visit
me
,
lying
at
that
time
under
a
sore
Fit
of
the
Stone
.
It
pleased
the
Lord
the
MOnday
following
to
bring
a
Fit
upon
him
,
and
sending
to
enquire
of
his
condition
,
he
sent
me
word
ho●
it
was
with
him
,
and
that
he
looked
on
this
Fit
as
a
Messenger
of
death
from
God
unto
him
.
And
though
in
obedience
to
Gods
appointment
,
he
made
use
of
means
,
yet
he
still
insisted
upon
it
,
that
his
time
of
dissolution
was
now
come
,
and
accordingly
with
great
composednesse
and
resolvednesse
of
spirit
,
waited
for
death
,
as
a
man
doth
for
a
loving
friend
,
whom
he
is
willing
to
embrace
.

Dr
THOMAS
MORTON
,
Bishop
of
Duresme
.
Out
of
his
Life
,
Written
by
Dr
Barwick
,
(
now
)
Dean
of
S.
Pauls
.
D.
Thomae
Vyner
,
Rect.
de
Staunton
.
1.
HIs
Coat-armour
and
pedigree
shew
him
to
be
of
the
same
Original
and
Stock
,
with
that
eminent
Prelate
and
wise
States-man
John
Morton
,
Lord
Chanc
:
of
England
,
and
Arch-bishop
of
Cant:
(
by
whose
contrivance
and
management
the
two
Houses
of
York
and
Lancaster
were
united
.
)
But
,
in
his
great
modesty
and
humility
,
he
would
not
revive
,
nor
so
much
as
look
upon
,
a
very
fair
and
large
descent
of
his
Pedigree
,
when
it
was
presented
to
him
:
though
he
liberally
rewarded
the
person
that
presented
it
.
2.
The
place
of
his
birth
was
the
antient
and
famous
City
of
York
:
his
Parents
were
of
good
note
,
Mr
Richard
Morton
Mercer
,
and
Mrs
Eliz:
Leedale
(
by
whom
the
Valvasours
and
Langdales
acknowledge
themselves
to
be
of
his
kindred
:
)
by
whose
care
he
was
brought
up
in
p●etie
and
learning
,
first
at
York
,
and
afterward
at
Hallifax
under
Mr
Maud
:
of
whom
he
alwaies
spake
with
great
reverence
,
as
a
grave
man
and
a
good
S●oolmaster
.
He
took
root
in
the
Nursery
of
Hallifax
till
the
eighteenth
year
of
his
age
,
before
he
was
trans-planted
into
the
Garden
of
the
Vniversity
.
3.
An.
1582.
he
was
sent
to
Cambridge
,
and
there
admitted
into
S.
John's
Coll.
wherein
were
so
many
eminent
Schola●s
at
that
time
,
as
he
was
wont
to
say
,
It
seemed
to
be
a
whole
University
of
it self
.
The
Master
of
the
Colledge
was
Dr
Whitaker
:
his
first
Tutor
was
Mr
Anthony
Higgon
,
who
left
him
to
the
care
of
Mr
Hen:
Nelson
,
who
lived
to
see
his
Pupil
passe
through
all
the
other
Dignities
he
had
in
the
Church
,
till
he
came
to
be
Bishop
of
Duresm
,
and
a
good
many
years
after
.
4.
An.
1590
,
he
took
his
Degree
of
Master
of
Arts
,
having
performed
all
his
Exercises
with
great
approbation
and
applause
.
Afterward
,
for
above
two
years
,
he
continued
his
studies
in
the
Colledge
at
his
Fathers
charge
.
And
then
,
Mar:
17.
1592.
he
was
admitted
Fellow
meerly
for
his
worth
against
eight
Competitors
for
the
place
.
Which
he
was
wont
to
recount
with
greater
contentment
to
himself
,
than
his
advancement
to
any
Dignity
he
ever
enjoyed
in
the
Church
.
About
the
same
time
he
was
chosen
Logic
Lecturer
for
the
University
:
which
place
he
discharged
with
as
much
Art
and
Diligence
,
as
may
appear
by
his
Lectures
fairly
written
,
which
I
find
among
his
papers
.
5.
In
the
same
year
he
was
admitted
to
the
facred
Order
of
Deacon
,
and
the
next
after
,
of
Priesthood
.
Having
received
his
Commission
from
God
and
his
Church
,
he
was
very
ready
to
assist
others
in
the
way
of
charity
;
but
not
too
forward
to
take
upon
him
a
particular
care
of
Souls
.
And
accordingly
we
find
him
for
about
five
years
after
this
continuing
in
the
Colledge
,
prosecuting
his
own
private
Study
,
and
reading
to
such
yong
Scholars
as
were
committed
to
his
care
and
Tuition
.
6.
An.
1598.
he
took
his
Degree
of
Bachelor
in
Divinitie
.
And
about
the
same
year
,
being
presented
,
instituted
and
inducted
to
the
Rectory
of
Long
Marston
,
four
miles
distant
from
his
native
City
of
York
,
he
betook
himself
wholly
to
the
Cure
of
Souls
there
committed
to
him
,
which
he
discharged
with
great
care
and
diligence
:
And
yet
he
did
not
intermit
his
higher
studies
for
the
general
good
of
the
Church
while
he
atrended
it
.
To
that
end
he
had
alwaies
some
Person
to
be
his
Assistant
,
whom
he
knew
to
be
pious
and
learned
.
7
:
And
this
assistance
was
the
more
necessary
,
because
his
great
parts
and
worth
would
not
suffer
him
to
enjoy
his
privacy
in
a
country-cure
.
For
first
he
was
made
choice
of
by
the
Earl
of
Huntington
,
then
Lord
President
of
the
North
,
to
be
his
Chaplain
,
for
his
dexterity
and
acutenesse
in
disputing
with
the
Romish
Recusants
:
for
it
was
Queen
Elizabeth's
expresse
command
to
him
to
convince
them
by
Arguments
,
rather
than
suppresse
them
by
force
:
and
this
she
expressed
(
as
his
Lordshop
was
wont
to
say
)
in
the
words
of
the
Prophet
,
Nolo
mortem
peccatoris
.
8.
But
the
Earl
dying
presently
after
,
he
returned
again
to
his
privacy
at
Marston
:
where
he
continued
not
long
,
before
the
Lord
Sheffield
(
who
succeeded
as
Lord
President
)
commanded
him
to
hold
a
publick
Conference
before
his
Lordship
,
and
the
Council
at
the
Mannor
house
in
York
with
two
Romish
Recusants
,
then
prisoners
in
the
Castle
;
which
he
performed
with
great
satisfaction
to
the
Auditory
,
among
whom
were
many
of
the
chief
Gentry
and
Clergy
of
Yorkshire
.
9.
An.
1602
,
began
the
great
plague
at
York
:
at
which
time
he
carried
himself
with
much
Heroical
Charitie
.
For
,
the
poorer
sort
being
remov'd
to
the
Pesthouse
,
he
made
it
his
frequent
exercise
to
visit
them
with
food
,
both
for
their
bodies
and
souls
.
His
chief
errand
was
to
instruct
and
comfort
them
,
to
pray
for
them
and
with
them
;
and
to
make
his
coming
the
more
acceptable
,
he
carried
usually
a
sack
of
provision
with
him
,
for
those
that
wanted
it
.
And
because
he
would
have
no
man
run
any
hazard
thereby
but
himself
,
he
seldom
suffered
any
of
his
servants
to
come
near
him
,
but
sadled
and
unsadled
his
own
horse
,
and
had
a
private
door
made
on
purpose
into
his
house
and
chamber
.
10.
An.
1603.
he
attended
the
Queens
Embassador
into
Germany
,
being
desirous
to
improve
himself
by
seeing
forein
Kingdoms
,
Churches
and
Universities
.
His
stay
in
those
parts
was
the
shorter
because
the
Embassadors
Commission
determined
at
the
death
of
the
Queen
.
But
however
he
improved
his
time
so
well
,
partly
in
furnishing
his
own
Librarie
with
books
at
Frankfurt
and
elsewhere
,
but
chiefly
in
his
conversation
with
learned
men
,
and
in
his
forein
Observations
,
that
he
alwaies
very
highly
valued
that
opportunity
.
11.
At
his
return
he
was
sollicited
●y
Roger
Earl
of
Rutland
to
be
his
domestical
Chaplain
.
Which
proffer
he
was
the
more
willing
to
accept
,
for
the
privacy
he
hoped
to
enjoy
in
a
place
where
he
was
not
know
,
for
making
use
of
that
Treasure
of
Books
,
he
had
got
in
his
travels
:
And
the
rather
,
because
thereby
he
was
brought
so
much
nearer
London
than
before
,
whither
he
must
have
many
occasions
to
go
,
for
the
putting
forth
of
such
Books
,
as
he
had
in
design
to
write
.
For
it
was
not
long
after
that
he
printed
his
first
part
of
his
Apologia
Catholica
.
About
which
time
,
the
Archbishop
of
York
,
Toby
Matthews
(
that
most
exquisite
preacher
)
conferred
upon
him
a
Prebend
in
that
Metropolitical
Church
.
12.
An.
1606.
He
took
the
Degree
of
Doctor
in
Divinitie
with
the
great
Approbation
of
both
the
professors
in
Divinity
,
Dr
John
Overal
,
that
profound
Scholar
,
and
Dr
Tho:
Playfer
that
acute
Disputant
and
accurate
Preacher
,
who
were
both
of
them
very
competent
Judges
of
mens
abilities
.
And
there
began
that
intimate
acquaintance
he
had
with
the
said
Dr
Overal
(
afterwards
Dean
of
S.
Paul's
,
Bishop
of
Lichfield
and
Coventry
,
and
lastly
of
Norwich
)
which
continued
between
them
till
it
was
dissolved
by
death
.
And
about
the
same
time
he
was
sworn
Chaplain
in
Ordinary
to
K.
James
,
and
by
him
made
Dean
of
Gloucester
,
and
assumed
by
the
Lord
President
of
Wales
for
one
of
his
Majesties
Council
for
the
Marches
.
In
his
first
journy
to
Gloucester
he
went
by
Oxford
at
the
Act
time
:
where
he
was
incorporated
and
admitted
to
the
same
Degree
he
had
in
Cambridg
:
where
also
he
was
much
taken
with
the
exercises
of
Mr
Dan.
Featly
,
then
a
proceeder
,
and
carried
great
friendship
to
him
ever
after
.
At
which
time
(
among
other
eminent
Persons
)
he
fell
into
acquaintance
with
that
famous
Dr
John
King
,
then
Dean
of
Ch.
Ch.
afterwards
Bishop
of
London
,
which
afterwards
grew
so
intimate
,
that
the
Bishop
made
choice
of
him
to
perform
the
last
offices
to
him
both
at
his
death
and
burial
.
13.
An.
1609.
he
succeeded
Dr
George
Abbot
in
the
Deanry
of
Winchester
.
There
Bishop
Bilson
conferred
on
him
the
Rectorie
of
Alesford
;
and
there
(
among
other
learned
men
whose
friendship
he
much
valued
)
he
had
intimate
acquaintance
with
Dr
Arthur
Lake
,
then
Master
of
St
Cross
.
In
the
next
year
,
a
Parliament
being
held
,
he
preached
the
Sermon
to
the
Convocation
,
upon
Matth:
5.
13.
Vos
estis
sal
terrae
,
with
general
applause
,
and
should
have
been
Prolocutor
,
but
in
modesty
declined
it
,
and
preferred
a
friend
of
his
.
In
his
abode
at
London
,
he
took
his
lodging
at
Dean
Overal's
:
who
gave
him
the
opportunity
of
a
very
early
acquaintance
with
the
learned
Isaac
Casaubon
,
then
newly
come
out
of
France
,
andentertained
by
the
Dean
.
The
love
thus
begun
was
never
intermitted
in
their
lives
,
nor
obliterated
by
death
,
as
appears
by
Casaubon's
Monument
at
Westminster
Abby
,
set
up
at
the
charge
of
Morton
.
About
the
same
time
he
had
the
opportunity
of
entring
into
a
very
good
acquaintance
with
several
other
eminent
forein
Scholars
and
Divines
:
as
namely
,
Scultetus
,
Diodati
,
Du
Moulin
,
whose
worth
is
very
well
known
by
their
learned
works
in
print
.
14.
While
he
continued
in
Winchester
,
a
certain
great
person
passionately
told
the
●ing
,
That
Dr
Morton
had
spoiled
one
of
the
best
Deanries
in
England
.
It
concerned
the
Dean
to
vindicate
his
good
name
from
that
foul
and
unjust
aspersion
.
And
therefore
acquainting
his
Brethren
of
the
Chapter
with
it
,
they
were
very
forward
to
give
and
he
not
backward
to
receive
a
Testimonia
from
them
under
their
hands
and
seals
,
That
h●
had
been
one
of
the
best
Deans
that
ever
had
been
a●
Winchester
in
their
times
:
and
some
of
them
were
very
antient
.
15.
An.
1616.
July
7.
he
was
consecrated
Bishop
of
Chaester
.
While
necessaries
were
preparing
for
his
journy
thither
,
and
for
the
accommodation
of
his
Palace
there
,
he
retired
himself
to
Clay-Hall
in
Essex
,
upon
the
earnest
invitatior
of
his
Noble
friend
Sr
Christopher
Hatton
,
an●
there
fell
sick
of
a
dangerous
Fever
,
but
being
happily
recovered
,
presently
put
himself
upo●
his
journy
towards
his
great
work
,
and
was
me●
on
the
borders
of
his
Diocess
and
brought
into
the
City
of
Chester
by
such
a
great
number
of
Knights
and
other
the
best
Gent:
of
the
Country
,
beside
the
Clergy
,
as
may
give
a
lasting
testimony
,
to
their
honour
as
well
as
his
,
in
shewing
such
a
religious
respect
to
their
Bishop
.
16.
When
he
was
setled
there
,
he
found
all
the
inconveniences
which
he
fore
saw
,
(
and
which
made
him
at
first
loth
to
undertake
that
weighty
Office
)
and
some
also
which
he
could
not
foresee
at
so
great
a
distance
.
For
,
beside
the
great
number
of
Romish
Recusants
,
which
hath
alwaies
been
observed
in
this
Diocess
,
he
found
another
sort
of
Recusants
(
better
known
by
the
name
of
Nonconformists
)
who
,
though
they
were
not
so
many
in
number
as
the
other
,
yet
had
they
so
much
perversenesse
and
obstinacy
in
them
,
as
made
them
equal
,
or
rather
superiour
,
in
relation
to
the
trouble
he
had
with
them
.
For
the
reducing
of
them
to
their
obedience
to
the
Church
,
he
used
no
lesse
fatherly
mildnesse
then
strength
of
Argument
:
and
after
he
had
endeavoured
their
satisfaction
in
a
publick
Conference
with
them
about
the
use
of
the
Surplice
,
&c.
he
printed
a
Relation
thereof
with
some
enlargements
,
intituled
,
The
defence
of
the
three
innocent
Ceremonies
.
But
in
reducing
the
other
party
,
the
Popish
Recusants
,
God
blessed
him
with
far
better
successe
,
to
the
great
content
of
his
Majestie
.
17.
An.
1617.
at
the
Kings
return
out
of
Scotland
through
Lancashire
,
his
Majestie
was
petitioned
about
some
innocent
Recreation
for
servants
,
and
other
inferiour
persons
,
on
the
Lords
day
and
Holy
daies
,
whose
laborious
Callings
deprived
them
of
it
all
other
times
.
The
King
consulted
with
the
Bishop
how
he
might
satisfie
their
desires
without
endangering
this
libertie
to
be
turned
into
lasciviousnesse
.
Whereupon
the
Bishop
presented
to
the
King
in
writing
the
next
day
(
Bishop
Andrewes
attended
the
King
the
same
time
)
several
limitations
or
restrictions
,
which
the
King
so
well
approved
that
he
said
,
He
would
only
alter
them
from
ohe
words
of
a
Bishop
to
the
words
of
a
King
:
viz.
That
all
known
Recusants
,
and
all
that
are
not
present
at
Church
at
the
Service
of
God
shall
be
barred
from
the
benefit
of
this
liberty
:
That
these
Recreations
shall
not
be
used
before
the
end
of
all
divine
services
for
that
day
:
That
every
person
should
resort
to
his
own
parish
Church
,
&c.
The
Declaration
was
published
May
24.
in
the
16.
of
his
Raign
:
and
since
republished
by
our
late
Gracious
Soverain
,
K.
Charles
1.
The
good
Bishop
,
to
maintain
his
hospitality
in
that
place
,
where
good
house-keeping
is
so
much
valued
and
practised
,
had
the
Rectorie
of
Stopford
in
Commendam
,
bestowed
on
him
by
the
King
,
where
his
name
and
memory
is
still
pretious
.

1618.

At
the
mo●ion
of
that
great
pattern
of
Episcopal
perfection
,
Dr
Andrewes
above
mentioned
,
then
Bishop
of
Eli
(
who
was
never
known
to
do
the
like
for
any
other
,
and
yet
did
this
without
his
seeking
or
knowledge
,
that
he
might
have
him
his
nearer
neighbour
,
as
he
said
,
and
of
the
same
Province
with
himself
:
)
He
was
translated
to
the
●ee
of
Coventry
and
Lichfield
,
void
by
the
Translation
of
his
old
friend
Bishop
Overal
to
Norwich
.
And
here
his
trouble
was
not
so
great
as
at
Chester
,
though
his
Diocess
was
longer
:
because
the
common
sort
of
people
,
for
the
most
part
,
were
better
principled
by
the
care
and
vigilance
of
his
Predecessor
.
But
yet
he
abated
nothing
of
his
former
pains
and
industry
,
both
in
Writing
,
Preaching
and
conferring
with
those
th●t
were
not
wilfully
obstinate
:
besides
his
ordinary
Visiting
his
Diocess
,
and
Confirming
such
children
as
could
give
an
Account
of
their
Faith
.
19.
Among
the
works
of
Charitie
performed
by
this
Bishop
,
while
he
was
of
that
See
,
memorable
is
the
Education
he
bestowed
upon
one
George
Canner
,
(
who
like
another
Didymus
of
Alexandria
,
or
Fisher
of
Wewminster
was
born
blind
:
)
This
youth
he
brought
up
first
at
School
,
and
afterwards
sent
him
to
Cambrigde
,
where
he
maintained
him
,
and
his
Unkle
to
look
to
him
,
in
S.
John's
Coll.
After
he
had
taken
the
Degree
of
Bachelor
of
Arts
,
he
sent
for
him
into
his
o●n
Family
,
and
there
instructed
him
in
the
whole
Body
of
Divinitie
;
then
admitted
him
into
sacred
Orders
,
placed
him
in
a
Cure
in
St●ff●rdshire
.
Which
Cure
the
blind
man
discharged
diligently
and
laudably
,
being
a
very
good
preacher
,
and
able
also
to
perform
the
whole
Office
of
the
Church
,
as
it
is
prescribed
in
the
Book
of
Common
prayer
,
only
by
the
strength
of
his
admirable
Memory
.
20.
Memorable
also
is
that
passage
of
the
Boy
of
Bilson
near
Woolverhampton
,
who
being
wrought
upon
by
some
Romish
Priests
,
counterfeited
himself
to
be
possessed
with
a
Divel
.
But
the
Divel
having
steeled
his
heart
(
as
his
own
phrase
was
after
his
confession
)
he
continued
Demoniac
longer
than
was
intended
,
and
accused
a
neighboring
woman
,
of
the
Romish
Communion
,
for
bewitching
him
,
so
cunningly
prosecuting
the
charge
,
as
the
woman
hardly
escaped
.
The
Bishop
suspecting
the
Boy
did
but
counterfeit
,
got
leave
of
the
Judges
to
have
the
Boy
home
with
him
:
where
,
by
his
wisdom
and
great
pains
he
discovered
the
imposture
;
and
afterwards
,
upon
the
Boyes
Confession
and
Repentance
,
bound
him
out
an
Apprentice
to
a
Shomaker
in
Bristol
.
21.
An.
1632.
He
was
translated
to
the
See
of
Duresm
(
void
by
the
death
of
Bishop
Howson
)
a
place
of
greater
trust
and
honour
,
as
well
as
of
greater
emolument
.
For
,
besides
the
Spiritual
and
Ecclesiastical
Affairs
(
as
before
)
he
had
now
the
care
and
management
of
all
the
tumporal
Affairs
within
the
County
Palatine
of
Duresm
,
by
virtue
of
the
Palatinate
,
which
for
many
hundreds
of
years
hath
been
annexed
to
the
Episcopal
See
:
in
so
much
as
it
passed
for
a
Maxim
there
:
Quicquid
potest
Rex
extra
Episcopatum
,
potest
Episcopus
intra
:
And
yet
in
the
same
he
carried
himself
with
so
much
justice
and
equity
for
ten
years
together
before
these
late
Troubles
put
a
disturbance
in
the
exercise
of
his
Government
,
that
no
complaint
was
ever
made
against
him
to
the
Parliament
:
except
only
the
case
of
Mr
Smart
,
which
yet
had
no
relation
to
the
County
Palatine
,
neither
could
the
charge
be
made
good
against
him
.
22.
Some
Rules
which
he
set
unto
his
Government
were
these
.
First
,
for
his
Fines
at
the
renewing
of
Leases
,
he
never
intermeddled
in
setting
them
himself
,
but
referred
the
businesse
to
four
Gentlemen
of
the
neighbourhood
,
to
make
a
moderate
composition
between
him
and
his
Tenants
.
2.
In
wreks
,
he
took
such
a
small
sum
of
the
persons
that
had
suffered
them
,
as
was
not
worthy
the
name
of
a
Composition
;
and
that
only
to
preserve
the
right
of
his
place
.
3.
In
Deodans
,
where
any
man
had
made
himself
away
;
though
by
law
the
whole
estate
was
confiscated
in
detestationem
criminis
,
yet
exceeded
he
not
a
fourth
part
of
the
estate
after
the
most
moderate
Valuation
.
And
lastly
,
for
Wardships
;
he
used
that
tenderness
,
as
never
any
of
the
Gentry
had
wrong
in
their
Minority
.
23.
How
much
greater
his
Fatherly
care
was
,
for
the
Spiritual
affairs
of
the
Bishoprick
,
will
appear
by
his
pious
indeavours
in
setling
competent
Augmentations
upon
the
smaller
Benefices
He
had
given
a
good
ex●mple
long
before
,
whiles
he
was
Bishop
of
Lichfield
,
in
abating
a
good
part
of
his
Fine
,
to
increase
the
portion
of
the
Vicar
of
Pichley
in
Northamptonshire
.
And
now
in
a
work
of
so
much
importance
,
he
applied
himself
for
Counsel
to
three
of
the
most
learned
in
the
Laws
,
Lo.
Keeper
Coventry
,
Mr
Noy
,
Sr
Henry
Martin
,
who
all
concurred
,
That
the
Bishops
Authoritie
over
Churches
appropriate
was
neither
taken
away
,
nor
any
way
infringed
,
but
that
he
may
now
appoint
a
competent
Augmentation
,
&c.
See
the
Author
.
24.
Having
thus
fully
informed
himself
of
his
just
parts
in
a
matter
of
so
high
Concernment
for
the
advancement
of
Christian
Religion
,
and
the
good
of
Souls
,
he
resolved
to
put
it
in
practice
,
as
f●r
as
God
should
enable
him
,
and
trust
God
with
the
event
.
He
began
at
home
with
the
Parish
of
B●shop-Auk●and
.
Here
he
augmented
the
s●ipend
of
the
Mother-Church
from
sixteen
pounds
per
an
:
to
fourscore
,
and
the
Chapels
belonging
to
it
from
about
six
pounds
per
an
.
to
thirty
;
intending
to
extend
the
like
Episcopal
care
in
some
proportion
over
all
the
rest
of
his
Diocess
:
But
so
pious
heroical
a
work
became
abortive
by
the
Scotch
Invasion
,
&c.
25.
We
are
come
now
to
the
precipice
of
this
Reverend
Bishop's
outward
splendor
:
though
neither
his
Glory
nor
Happinesse
incurred
the
least
diminution
by
his
future
suffrings
.
For
he
was
never
more
happy
in
his
own
thoughts
,
nor
more
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
all
good
men
,
then
in
being
exercised
in
those
troubles
,
whereof
the
continual
series
of
publick
affairs
afforded
him
a
perpetual
oportunity
from
this
time
till
his
death
.
26.
In
one
of
the
tumults
after
the
beginning
of
the
long
Parliament
,
this
Reverend
Bishop
was
in
extreme
hazard
of
his
life
by
the
multitude
that
were
beckned
thither
by
the
contrivers
of
our
late
miseries
:
whereof
some
cryed
,
Pull
him
out
of
his
Coach
:
Others
,
Nay
,
he
is
a
good
man
:
Others
,
But
for
all
that
he
is
a
Bishop
.
And
he
hath
often
said
,
He
believed
he
should
not
have
escaped
alive
,
if
a
leading
man
among
that
rabble
had
not
cryed
out
,
Let
him
go
and
hang
himself
.
Upon
this
and
the
like
violations
of
the
liberty
and
freedom
essential
to
all
the
Members
of
Parliament
,
when
the
Twelve
Bishops
(
whereof
this
was
one
)
remonstrated
the
just
fears
they
were
in
,
and
Protested
their
dissent
from
all
Laws
which
should
be
enacted
,
till
they
might
attend
service
of
the
House
with
freedom
and
saftey
They
were
all
charged
with
high
Treason
by
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
committed
to
Prison
,
&c.
27.
Our
Bishop
being
(
after
four
months
)
discharged
from
this
his
first
imprisonment
,
returned
to
his
lodgings
in
Duresm
House
,
and
there
attended
his
devotions
and
study
,
till
suchtime
as
his
Adversaries
thought
fit
to
give
him
another
occasion
to
exercise
his
patience
under
a
second
Captivity
,
upon
occasion
of
baptising
a
Child
of
the
Earl
of
Rutland's
according
to
the
Order
of
the
Church
.
And
in
custody
he
remained
six
months
before
he
could
obtain
his
enlargement
.
After
this
he
remained
in
Duresm
house
till
he
was
thrown
out
thence
by
the
soldiers
,
that
came
to
Garrison
it
,
a
little
before
that
horrid
fact
was
committed
upon
the
person
of
our
late
Gracious
King
:
and
after
that
,
being
importuned
by
his
honorable
friends
the
Earl
and
Countess
Rutland
,
he
became
a
part
of
their
care
and
family
at
Exe●er-house
for
some
short
time
.
But
being
loth
to
live
at
the
charge
of
others
,
while
he
was
able
to
subsist
of
himself
,
and
thinking
the
air
of
the
Country
might
better
suit
with
his
declining
years
,
he
betook
himself
to
sojourn
first
with
Captain
Saunders
in
Hartfordshire
,
and
after
with
Mr
Tho.
Rotheram
in
Bedfordshire
,
till
by
the
great
civility
and
earnest
importunity
of
that
Noble
young
Baronet
,
Sr
Henry
Yelverton
,
he
went
with
him
to
his
house
at
Easton-Manduit
in
Northampton-shire
,
where
he
found
all
the
tender
respect
and
care
from
the
whole
family
,
which
a
Father
could
exspect
from
his
children
,
till
after
some
four
months
he
rendred
up
his
happy
soul
into
the
hands
of
his
Heavenly
Father
.
28.
When
the
House
of
Commons
had
voted
for
the
dissolving
of
Bishopricks
,
and
selling
the
lands
that
belonged
to
them
,
some
prevailed
for
another
Vote
of
Yearly
Allowance
to
present
Bishops
during
their
lives
.
Our
Bishop
had
8001
per
an
.
voted
to
him
:
but
,
while
he
was
able
to
subsist
without
it
,
never
troubled
himself
to
look
after
it
.
And
at
last
,
pressed
by
necessities
,
having
procured
a
Copy
of
the
Vote
,
found
it
to
contain
no
more
than
only
that
such
a
sum
should
be
paid
,
but
no
mention
either
by
whom
or
whence
.
And
by
that
time
he
could
procure
and
explanation
of
the
Order
to
make
the
Pension
payable
out
of
the
Revenues
of
his
own
Bishoprick
,
all
the
Lands
and
Revenues
of
it
were
sold
or
divided
among
themselves
.
Only
,
by
the
importunity
of
his
friends
he
obtained
an
Order
to
have
1000l
out
of
their
Treasury
at
Gold-smiths
Hall
,
with
which
he
paid
his
debts
and
purchased
to
himself
an
Annuity
of
200l
per
an
.
during
his
life
,
upon
which
he
subsisted
ever
since
.
29.
No
man
can
expect
any
considerable
Legacies
in
the
Will
of
a
person
deceased
,
who
made
his
own
hands
his
Executors
,
while
he
lived
:
like
his
great
kinsman
Arch-bishop
Morton
,
who
chose
rather
to
inrich
his
kindred
and
servants
in
his
life
time
,
then
at
his
death
:
or
rather
,
like
Arch-bishop
Warham
,
successor
to
Morton
,
who
lying
on
his
death
bed
,
called
for
his
Steward
to
let
him
know
what
money
he
had
,
and
understanding
from
him
,
it
was
but
thirty
pound
,
thanked
God
for
it
,
and
said
,
He
never
desired
to
dye
richer
.
Our
Bishop
had
so
much
left
him
at
his
death
,
that
he
gave
40l
to
one
of
his
servants
who
then
atten●ed
him
(
having
provided
for
the
other
formerly
)
and
10l
to
the
poor
of
the
Parish
,
and
his
Chalice
with
a
Patin
double
guilt
to
the
Noble
Baronet
for
the
use
of
his
Chapel
.
The
rest
(
deducing
some
small
remembrances
)
he
ordered
for
his
burial
,
whi●h
was
also
sufficient
for
a
Monument
,
though
far
below
his
worth
,
yet
sutable
to
his
great
Modesty
.
30.
I
cannot
omit
the
chief
Legacy
of
his
Will
for
the
common
good
of
souls
in
the
Church
of
England
,
particularly
in
his
own
Diocess
(
See
it
in
the
Funeral
Sermon
)
where
he
concludes
thus
My
earnest
exhortation
to
them
is
,
that
they
would
still
continue
their
former
Affections
(
notwithstanding
all
temptations
to
the
contrary
)
both
to
the
Doctrine
,
Discipline
,
Government
,
and
Form
of
Worship
in
this
poor
afflicted
Church
:
Which
,
if
I
did
not
believe
to
be
the
securest
way
for
the
salvation
of
souls
,
I
had
not
ventured
my
own
upon
the
same
bottom
.
31.
His
high
esteem
of
the
sacred
Liturgie
of
the
Church
of
England
attended
him
(
as
I
may
say
)
to
his
Grave
.
For
he
gave
expresse
command
to
his
Chaplain
,
not
to
omit
,
nor
so
much
as
transpose
(
as
he
had
observed
too
frequently
to
be
done
by
others
)
the
reading
of
the
Lesson
(
1
Cor:
15.
)
which
the
Church
hath
prescribed
to
be
read
at
the
Grave
:
and
which
being
read
there
,
while
such
a
spectacle
of
mortality
is
before
their
eyes
,
could
not
(
said
he
)
but
have
a
greater
influence
upon
their
souls
,
than
any
Funeral
Sermon
he
had
ever
heard
preached
.
Great
fervor
and
devotion
he
shewed
in
the
Church-prayers
:
whereunto
he
seldom
answered
with
a
single
Amen
;
and
at
which
duty
he
never
kneeled
upon
a
Cushion
(
I
think
)
in
all
his
life
,
nor
ever
prayed
but
upon
his
knees
,
till
he
was
confined
to
his
death
bed
:
and
even
would
neverly
with
his
Cap
on
his
head
,
if
he
either
prayed
himself
,
or
any
other
prayed
by
him
,
while
he
had
strength
to
pull
it
off
with
his
own
hands
.
Great
consolation
he
took
in
the
Church-preparations
for
his
long
home
:
viz.
in
the
profession
of
his
faith
and
Charitie
and
Repentance
,
in
receiving
the
benefit
of
Absolution
,
and
the
Viaticum
of
the
Holy
Eucharist
.
32.
He
lived
a
great
number
of
years
,
and
very
few
ever
husbanded
their
time
better
;
for
he
was
never
idle
with
his
good
will
.
He
was
often
up
at
his
devotion
and
study
before
four
a
clock
,
even
after
he
had
lived
above
fourscore
years
,
and
yet
very
seldom
went
to
bed
till
after
ten
;
and
then
had
alwaies
a
servant
to
read
some
book
to
him
,
till
such
time
as
sleep
did
surprize
him
:
and
so
had
he
alwaies
when
he
travelled
in
his
Coach
,
that
his
journy
might
not
be
too
great
a
hinderance
to
his
study
.
He
used
to
lye
on
a
straw
bed
till
he
was
above
fourscore
.
33.
He
led
his
life
in
a
holy
and
chast
celibate
.
The
issue
of
his
brain
was
numerous
,
(
beside
M.
SS.
)
above
twenty
several
Volumes
in
print
:
some
of
which
are
these
that
follow
:

:
the
last
book
he
lived
to
publish
,

his
declining
years
in
those
sad
Times
.
34.
To
add
somewhat
of
his
Character
.
1.
His
patience
.
In
the
greatest
tryal
of
his
temper
that
ever
he
had
,
the
news
of
the
Vote
,
that
the
Revenues
of
the
Church
were
to
be
sold
,
he
only
said
:
The
Lord
gave
,
and
the
Lord
hath
taken
away
;
Blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
:
Which
he
repeated
three
times
over
before
the
company
he
was
in
,
and
presently
retired
himself
to
his
prayers
:
2.
His
Hospitality
.
He
entertained
the
King
and
his
Court
,
and
(
at
least
the
Officers
of
)
his
Army
,
all
at
one
time
in
the
first
expedition
toward
Scotland
,
which
cost
him
(
in
that
place
of
great
cheapnesse
)
above
1500l
in
one
day
.
There
seldome
came
any
Scholar
to
him
,
whether
Forein
or
English
,
whom
he
did
not
liberally
entertain
,
and
dismisse
with
a
considerable
sum
of
mony
.
3.
His
Beneficence
.
He
built
a
Free
School
at
Bishop
Aukland
,
and
endowed
it
with
24l
per
au
:
which
is
more
by
so
much
than
ever
he
purchased
to
himself
,
for
that
was
just
nothing
.
He
gave
many
excellent
books
to
the
Colledge
where
he
had
his
Education
,
to
the
value
of
4
or
500l
,
with
an
intention
at
last
to
bestow
100l
per
an
.
during
his
life
(
had
not
the
times
disabled
him
)
to
buy
books
of
special
worth
and
not
for
superfluity
.
4.
His
Almsgiving
.
While
he
was
sufferd
to
enjoy
his
estate
,
he
had
his
Beadsmen
in
Livery
at
a
constant
Table
,
besides
what
he
gave
away
at
his
Gate
,
and
upon
other
occasions
.
Nay
,
so
constant
was
he
in
this
duty
,
even
then
when
he
had
hardly
so
much
left
as
to
afford
bread
for
his
own
mouth
,
that
he
had
alwaies
a
certain
number
of
poor
impotent
persons
in
a
constant
pension
,
that
came
weekly
to
him
for
their
allowance
,
when
he
was
not
able
himself
to
go
among
them
to
give
it
:
and
this
will
be
abundantly
testified
by
the
poor
in
all
places
,
where
of
late
he
hath
lived
.
5.
His
Devotion
.
He
would
often
forgo
,
ot
at
least
much
moderate
,
his
one
meal
a
day
;
often
deny
himself
some
part
of
that
pittance
of
time
allowed
for
sleep
,
to
rise
out
of
his
bed
,
and
to
spend
in
prayer
,
as
the
Attendants
in
his
Chamber
witnesse
.

The
Effigies
of
Mr
George
Herbert
:
Author
of
those
Sacred
Poems
called
The
Temple
.
IV.
M.
GEORGE
HEREBRT
.
(
Vide
Vol.
1.
)
Out
of
his
Life
before
his
REMAINS
.
D.
Richardo
Cooper
,
Rect.
de
Weston
.
1.
MR
George
Herbert
was
extracted
out
of
a
Generous
,
Noble
and
Antient
Family
,
His
Father
was
Richard
Herbert
of
Blachehall
in
Montgomery
,
Esq
;
descended
from
the
great
Sr
Richard
Herbert
in
Edward
the
IV's
time
;
and
so
his
Relation
to
the
Noble
Family
of
that
Name
,
well
kno●n
.
His
Mother
was
daughter
of
Sr
Richard
Newport
of
Arcoll
:
who
doubtlesse
was
a
pious
daughter
,
she
was
so
good
and
godly
a
Mother
.
She
had
ten
children
,
Job's
number
and
Job's
distinction
,
seven
sons
.
For
whose
Education
she
went
and
dwelt
in
the
Vniversitie
,
to
recompence
the
losse
of
their
Father
,
in
giving
them
two
Mothers
.
And
this
great
care
of
hers
,
this
good
Son
of
hers
studyed
to
improve
and
requite
,
as
is
seen
in
those
many
Latin
and
Greek
Verses
,
the
Obsequious
Parentalia
he
made
and
printed
,
in
her
Memorie
:
Which
,
though
they
be
good
,
very
good
,
yet
(
to
speak
freely
of
this
man
I
so
much
honour
)
they
be
dull
or
dead
in
comparison
of
his
Temp●e
Poems
.
And
no
marvel
:
To
write
those
,
he
made
his
Ink
with
water
of
Helicon
,
but
these
Inspirations
Prophetical
were
distilled
from
above
:
In
those
are
weak
Notions
of
Nature
;
in
these
raptures
of
Grace
:
In
those
he
writ
flesh
and
blood
,
a
frail
earthly
woman
,
though
a
Mother
,
but
in
these
he
praised
his
Heavenly
Father
.
2.
He
did
thrive
so
well
in
Cambridge
in
Trinitie
Coll:
that
he
was
first
chosen
Fellow
there
,
and
afterwards
Orator
of
the
University
.
The
Memorials
of
him
left
in
the
Orators
book
,
shew
how
he
discharged
the
place
:
and
himself
intimates
,
Church
p.
39.
That
whereas
his
Birth
and
Spirit
prompted
him
to
Martial
Atchievements
,
The
way
that
takes
the
Town
,
and
not
to
sit
simpering
over
a
Book
;
God
did
often
melt
his
spirit
,
and
entice
him
with
Academick
honour
,
to
be
content
to
wear
and
wrap
up
himself
in
a
Gown
,
so
long
,
till
he
durst
not
put
it
off
,
nor
retire
to
any
other
Calling
.
However
,
probably
he
might
,
I
have
heard
,
(
as
other
Orators
)
have
had
a
Secretary
of
States
place
,
being
one
of
the
most
prudent
and
accomplisht
men
of
his
time
.
I
have
heard
sober
men
censure
him
as
a
man
that
did
not
manage
his
brave
parts
to
his
best
advantage
and
preferment
,
but
lost
himself
in
an
humble
way
:
That
was
the
phrase
,
I
well
remember
it
.
3.
This
good
man
like
a
good
genuine
son
of
Levi
(
I
had
like
to
have
said
Melchizedek
)
balked
all
secular
waies
,
saw
neither
Father
nor
Mother
,
Child
nor
Brother
,
birth
nor
friends
(
save
in
Christ
Iesus
)
chose
the
Lord
for
his
Portion
,
and
his
service
for
imployment
.
And
he
knew
full
well
what
he
did
,
when
he
received
holy
Orders
,
as
appears
by
every
page
of
his
Country
Parson
,
and
by
the
Poems
called
Priesthood
,
and
Aaron
,
and
by
his
unparallel'd
Vigilancy
,
which
he
used
ever
in
his
Parish
:
which
made
him
a
Peer
to
the
Primitive
Saints
,
and
more
than
a
Pattern
to
his
own
age
.
4.
Besides
his
Parsonage
of
Bemmerton
in
Wiltshire
,
he
had
also
a
Prebend
in
the
Church
of
Lincoln
.
Which
(
I
think
)
because
he
lived
far
from
,
and
so
could
not
attend
the
duty
of
that
place
,
he
would
fain
have
resigned
to
Mr
Ferrer
,
and
often
earnestly
sued
to
him
to
discharge
him
of
it
.
But
Mr
Ferrer
wholly
refused
,
and
diverted
or
directed
his
charity
(
as
I
take
it
)
to
the
reedefying
of
the
ruin'd
Church
of
Leighton
,
where
the
Corps
of
the
Prebend
lay
.
So
that
the
Church
of
England
owes
to
him
(
besides
what
good
may
come
by
his
book
of
the
Country
Parson
towards
the
repair
of
us
Churchmen
in
point
of
Morals
)
the
Reparation
of
a
Church
material
,
and
erection
of
that
costly
peece
of
Mosaic
or
Solomonic
work
,
The
Temple
:
which
florishes
and
stands
inviolate
,
when
our
other
Magnificences
are
desolate
and
despised
.
5.
He
was
of
a
singular
sincerity
in
embracing
,
and
transcendent
dexterity
in
defending
the
Protestant
Religion
established
in
the
Church
of
England
.
He
that
reads
Mr
Herbert's
Poems
attendingly
,
shall
find
not
only
the
excellencies
of
Scripture-Divinity
,
and
choice
Passages
of
the
Fathers
bound
up
in
Meeter
,
but
the
Doctrine
of
Rome
also
finely
and
strongly
confuted
:
as
in
the
Poems
,
To
Saints
and
Angels
,
p.
69.
The
British
Church
,
102.
Church
militant
,
&c.
6.
As
for
our
Brethren
that
erred
on
the
right
hand
,
his
chief
aim
was
,
to
win
those
that
disliked
our
Liturgie
,
Catechism
,
&c
,
by
the
constant
,
reverent
,
and
holy
use
of
them
.
Which
,
surely
,
had
we
all
imitated
,
having
first
imprinted
the
virtue
of
these
prayers
in
our
own
hearts
,
and
then
studied
with
passionate
and
affectionate
celebration
,
for
voice
,
gesture
,
&c.
as
in
Gods
presence
to
imprint
them
in
the
minds
of
the
people
,
our
prayers
had
been
generally
as
well
beloved
as
they
were
scorned
.
7.
There
is
one
thing
yet
,
which
I
admire
above
all
the
rest
.
The
right
managing
of
the
fraternal
Duty
of
Reproof
is
(
methinks
)
one
of
the
most
difficult
●ffices
of
Christian
Prudence
.
He
had
not
only
got
the
courage
to
do
this
,
but
the
art
of
doing
this
aright
.
There
was
not
a
man
in
his
way
,
be
he
of
what
rank
he
would
,
that
spoke
awry
in
order
to
God
,
but
he
wip'd
his
mouth
with
a
modest
,
grave
and
Christian
reproof
.
His
singular
dexterity
in
sweetning
this
art
,
thou
maist
see
in
the
gua●b
and
phrase
of
his
writings
.
Like
a
wise
Master-builder
,
he
has
fet
about
a
form
of
speech
,
transferred
it
in
a
figure
,
as
if
he
was
alwaies
learning
from
another
mans
mouth
or
pen
,
and
not
racking
any
.
And
whereas
we
all
of
us
deserved
the
sh●rpnesse
of
reproof
,
he
saith
,
He
does
this
,
and
He
does
that
:
whereas
,
poor
men
,
we
did
no
such
thing
.
This
dart
of
his
,
thus
dipped
,
pierces
the
Soul
.
8.
His
Art
of
Divine
Poetry
,
and
other
polite
learning
,
so
commen●ed
him
to
Persons
most
eminent
in
their
time
,
that
Dr
Dorne
inscribed
to
him
a
paper
of
Latin
Verses
in
print
;
and
the
Lord
Bacon
having
translated
some
Psalms
into
English
Meeter
,
sent
them
with
a
Dedication
prefixed
,
To
his
very
good
Friend
,
Mr
George
Herbert
:
thinking
,
he
had
kept
a
true
decorum
in
chusing
one
so
fit
for
the
Argument
,
in
respect
of
Divinity
and
Poetry
(
the
one
as
the
matter
,
the
other
as
the
stile
)
that
a
better
choice
he
could
not
make
.
9.
I
shall
omit
several
excellencies
of
this
Person
:
His
conscientious
expence
of
Time
;
which
he
ever
measured
by
the
Pulse
,
that
native
watch
God
has
set
in
every
of
us
:
his
eminent
Temperance
and
Frugality
(
the
two
best
Purveyors
for
his
Liberalitie
and
Beneficence
:
)
his
private
fastings
,
his
mortification
of
the
body
;
his
extemporary
Exercises
thereof
,
at
the
sight
or
visit
of
a
Charnel-house
,
(
where
every
bone
,
before
the
day
,
rises
up
in
judgment
against
fleshly
lust
and
pride
:
)
at
the
stroke
of
a
passing-bell
,
when
antient
Charity
used
(
said
he
)
to
run
to
Church
and
assist
the
dying
Christian
with
prayers
and
tears
(
for
sure
that
was
the
ground
of
that
custome
:
)
and
at
all
occasions
he
could
lay
hold
of
possibly
;
which
he
sought
with
the
diligence
that
others
shun
and
shift
them
;
besides
his
carefull
,
not
scrupulous
Observation
of
appointed
Fasts
,
Lents
and
Embers
.
The
neglect
and
defect
of
this
last
(
he
said
)
had
such
influx
on
the
Children
which
the
Fathers
of
the
Church
did
beget
at
such
time
,
as
malignant
stars
are
said
to
have
over
natural
productions
.
10.
With
Fasting
he
impt
his
prayers
both
private
and
publick
.
His
private
must
be
left
to
God
,
who
saw
them
in
secret
:
his
publick
were
the
morning
and
evening
Sacrifice
of
the
Church
Liturgie
.
Which
he
used
with
conscientious
Devotion
,
not
of
Custom
,
but
serious
judgment
,
knowing
,
1.
That
the
Sophism
used
to
make
people
hate
them
,
was
a
solid
reason
to
make
men
of
understanding
love
them
:
namely
,
Because
taken
out
of
the
Masse-book
:
taken
out
,
but
as
gold
from
drosse
,
the
precious
from
the
vile
,
The
wise
Reformers
knew
Rome
would
cry
,
Schism
,
Schism
!
and
therefore
they
kept
all
they
could
lawfully
keep
,
being
loth
to
give
offence
(
as
our
blessed
Saviour
,
being
loth
to
offend
the
Jews
at
the
great
Reformation
,
kept
divers
old
Elements
,
and
made
them
new
Sacrament
and
Services
,
as
their
frequent
Washings
he
turned
into
one
baptism
,
some
service
of
the
Passover
into
the
Lord's
Supper
:
)
2.
That
the
homelinesse
and
ccursenesse
,
which
also
was
objected
,
was
a
a
great
commendation
.
The
poor
Lambs
of
the
flock
are
forty
for
one
grounded
Christian
;
proportionable
must
be
the
care
of
the
Church
to
provide
milk
:
i.
e.
plain
and
easie
nourishment
for
them
:
and
so
had
our
Church
done
,
hoping
that
stronger
Christians
,
as
they
abounded
in
gifts
,
so
they
had
such
a
store
of
the
grace
of
charity
,
as
for
their
weak
Brethrens
sakes
to
be
content
therewith
.
11.
He
thought
also
,
that
a
set
Liturgie
was
of
great
use
in
respect
of
those
without
,
whether
erring
Christians
,
or
unbelieving
men
:
that
when
we
had
used
our
best
Arguments
against
their
errors
or
unbelief
,
we
might
shew
them
a
Form
,
wherein
we
did
,
and
desired
they
would
,
serve
Almighty
God
with
us
:
that
we
might
be
able
to
say
,
This
is
our
Church
,
Here
would
we
land
you
:
Thus
we
belive
,
See
the
Creed
;
Thus
we
pray
,
baptize
,
Catechise
,
Celebrate
the
Eucharist
,
Marry
,
Bury
,
Intreat
the
Sick
,
&c.
These
,
beside
Unitie
,
and
other
accessary
benefits
,
he
thought
ground
sufficient
to
bear
him
out
in
his
practice
;
wherein
he
ended
his
life
,
calling
for
the
Church-prayers
,
a
while
before
his
death
,
saying
,
None
to
them
,
None
to
them
!
at
once
both
commending
them
,
and
his
Soul
to
God
in
them
,
immediately
before
his
dissolution
;
as
some
Martyrs
did
,
Mr
Hulliar
by
name
,
Vicar
of
Babram
,
burnt
to
death
in
Cambridge
.
Who
having
the
Common-prayer
book
in
his
hand
,
instead
of
a
Censer
,
and
using
the
prayers
as
Incense
,
offerd
up
himself
as
a
whole
burnt
Sacrifice
to
God
.
With
whom
the
very
Book
it self
suffered
Martyrdome
;
when
fallen
out
of
his
consumed
hands
,
it
was
,
by
the
Executioners
,
thrown
into
the
fire
,
and
burnt
as
an
heretical
book
.
12.
He
was
,
moreover
,
so
great
a
lover
of
Church-Musick
,
that
he
usually
called
it
,
Heaven
upon
earth
,
and
attended
it
a
few
daies
before
his
death
.
But
above
all
,
his
chief
delight
was
in
the
Holy
Scripture
:
One
leaf
whereof
,
he
professed
,
he
would
not
part
with
,
though
he
might
have
the
whole
world
in
exchange
.
This
high
esteem
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
as
it
wrought
in
himself
a
wondrous
expression
of
high
Reverence
,
when
ever
he
either
read
it
himself
,
or
heard
others
read
it
;
so
it
made
him
equally
wonder
,
that
those
who
pretended
such
extraordinary
love
to
Christ
Jesus
,
as
many
did
,
could
possibly
give
such
leave
and
liberty
to
themselves
,
as
to
hear
that
Word
,
that
shall
judge
us
at
the
last
day
,
without
any
the
least
expression
of
that
holy
fear
and
trembling
,
which
they
ought
to
charge
upon
their
Souls
in
private
,
and
in
publick
to
imprint
upon
others
.
13.
I
have
not
so
much
as
with
one
dash
of
a
pencil
offered
to
describe
that
person
of
his
,
which
afforded
so
unusual
a
Contesseration
of
Elegancies
,
and
Set
of
rarities
to
the
beholder
:
nor
said
I
any
thing
of
his
personal
Relation
,
as
a
Husband
to
a
loving
and
virtuous
Lady
,
as
a
Kinsman
,
Master
,
&c.
Yet
will
I
not
silence
his
spiritual
love
and
cate
of
Servants
,
teaching
Masters
this
duty
;
To
allow
their
servants
dayly
time
wherein
to
pray
privately
,
and
to
enjoyn
them
to
do
it
;
holding
this
for
true
generally
:
That
publick
prayer
alone
to
such
persons
,
is
no
prayer
at
all
.
14.
I
have
given
thee
only
these
lineaments
of
his
mind
,
and
thou
mayest
fully
serve
thy self
of
his
book
,
The
Country-Parson
,
in
what
vertue
of
his
thy
soul
longeth
after
.
His
practice
it
was
,
and
his
Character
it
is
:
His
,
as
Author
;
and
his
,
as
Object
.
Yet
,
lo
,
the
Humilitie
of
this
gracious
man
!
He
had
small
esteem
of
this
book
,
and
but
very
little
of
his
Poems
.
Though
God
had
magnifyed
him
with
extraordinary
Gifts
,
yet
said
he
,
God
hath
broken
into
my
study
,
and
taken
off
my
Chariot
wheels
:
I
have
nothing
worthy
of
God
:
And
even
this
lowlinesse
in
his
own
eyes
,
doth
more
advance
their
worth
,
and
his
Virtues
.
[
Here
,
my
Reader
,
give
me
leave
to
propose
to
thy
view
some
lines
of
that
excellent
Figure
,
The
Country
Parson
,
written
by
the
Author
1632.
printed
1652.
which
book
I
read
with
joy
that
we
have
any
such
,
and
with
grief
that
we
have
no
more
.
]
1.
The
Country
Parson
is
exceeding
exact
in
his
life
,
being
holy
,
just
,
prudent
,
temperate
,
●old
,
grave
in
all
his
waies
.
And
because
the
two
highest
points
of
life
,
wherein
a
Christian
is
most
seen
,
are
Patience
and
Mortification
:
Patience
in
regard
of
Afflictions
,
Mortification
in
regard
of
lusts
and
affections
,
and
the
stupifying
and
deading
of
all
the
clamorous
powers
of
the
soul
,
therefore
he
hath
throughly
studied
these
,
that
he
may
be
an
absolute
master
and
commander
of
himself
for
all
the
purposes
which
God
hath
ordained
him
.
Yet
in
these
points
he
labours
most
in
those
things
which
are
most
apt
to
scandalize
his
Parish
.
2.
He
is
full
of
all
knowledge
.
They
say
it
is
an
ill
Mason
that
refuseth
any
stone
:
and
there
is
no
knowledge
,
but
in
a
skilful
hand
serves
either
positively
as
it
is
,
or
else
to
illustrate
some
other
knowledge
.
He
condiscends
even
to
the
knowledge
of
tillage
and
pastorage
,
and
makes
great
use
of
them
in
teaching
;
because
people
,
by
what
they
understand
,
are
best
led
to
what
they
understand
not
.
But
the
chief
and
top
of
his
knowledge
consists
in
the
book
of
books
,
the
storehouse
and
magazene
of
life
and
comfort
,
the
holy
Scriptures
.
There
he
sucks
,
and
lives
.
There
he
finds
four
things
:
Precepts
for
life
,
Doctrines
for
knowledg
,
Examples
for
illustration
,
and
promises
for
comforts
:
These
he
hath
digested
severally
.
And
for
the
understanding
of
these
,
the
means
he
useth
are
,
a
holy
life
,
prayer
,
&c.
3.
He
hath
read
the
Fathers
also
,
and
the
Schoolmen
,
and
the
later
Writers
,
or
a
good
proportion
of
all
:
out
of
all
which
he
hath
composed
a
book
,
and
Body
of
Divinity
,
which
is
the
storehouse
of
his
Sermons
,
and
which
he
preacheth
all
his
life
;
but
diversly
clothed
,
illustrated
and
enlarged
.
For
,
though
the
world
is
full
of
such
composures
,
yet
every
mans
own
is
fittest
,
readiest
,
and
most
savo●ry
to
him
.
Besides
,
this
being
to
be
done
in
his
yonger
and
preparatory
times
,
it
is
an
honest
joy
ever
after
to
look
upon
his
well-spent
hours
.
This
Body
he
made
by
way
of
expounding
the
Church-Catechism
,
to
which
all
Divinity
m●y
easily
be
reduced
.
For
it
being
indifferent
in
it self
to
choose
any
method
,
that
is
be●t
to
be
chosen
,
of
which
there
is
likeliest
●o
be
most
use
.
4.
When
he
is
to
read
Divine
Services
,
he
composeth
himself
to
all
possible
Reverence
,
as
being
truly
touched
with
the
Majesty
of
God
,
and
that
being
first
affected
himself
he
may
affect
also
his
people
;
kno●ing
,
that
no
Sermon
moves
them
so
much
to
a
reverence
,
which
they
forget
again
when
they
come
to
pray
,
as
a
devout
behaviour
in
the
very
act
of
praying
.
Accordingly
,
his
voice
is
humble
,
his
words
treatable
,
and
slow
;
yet
not
so
slo●
neither
,
as
to
let
the
fervency
of
the
supplicant
hang
and
dye
between
speaking
;
but
with
a
more
liveliness
between
fear
and
zeal
,
pauzing
yet
pressing
,
he
perfo●ms
his
duty
.
Besides
his
example
,
he
having
often
instructed
his
people
how
to
carry
themselves
in
Divine
Service
,
exacts
of
them
all
possible
reverence
,
by
no
means
enduring
either
talking
,
or
sleeping
,
or
gazing
,
or
leaning
,
or
half-kneeling
,
or
any
undutiful
behaviour
in
them
;
but
causing
them
,
when
they
sit
,
or
stand
,
or
kneel
,
to
do
all
in
a
strait
and
steady
posture
,
as
attending
to
what
is
done
in
the
Church
;
and
every
one
,
man
and
child
answering
aloud
both
Amen
,
and
all
other
answers
on
the
peoples
parts
,
using
their
reason
,
and
applying
their
powers
to
the
Service
of
God
.
5.
He
preacheth
constantly
:
the
Pulpit
is
his
joy
and
his
Throne
.
If
he
at
any
time
intermit
,
it
is
either
for
want
of
health
,
or
against
some
great
Festival
,
that
he
may
the
better
celebrate
it
;
or
for
the
variety
of
the
hearers
,
that
he
may
be
heard
,
at
his
return
more
attentively
.
When
he
intermits
,
he
is
ever
well
supplyed
by
some
able
man
,
who
treads
in
his
steps
,
and
will
not
throw
down
what
he
hath
built
;
whom
also
he
intreats
to
presse
some
point
,
that
he
himself
hath
often
urged
with
no
great
successe
,
that
so
in
the
mouth
of
two
or
three
witnesses
the
truth
may
be
the
more
established
.
When
he
preacheth
,
he
procures
attention
with
all
possible
art
,
both
by
earnestness
of
speech
(
it
being
natural
for
men
to
think
,
that
where
is
much
earnestness
,
there
is
something
worth
hearing
)
and
by
a
●●●●gent
and
busie
cast
of
his
eye
on
his
Auditors
,
with
letting
them
know
,
that
he
observes
who
marks
,
and
who
not
;
and
with
particularizing
of
his
speech
,
now
to
the
younger
sort
,
then
to
the
elder
,
now
to
the
poor
,
and
now
to
the
rich
.
This
is
for
you
,
and
This
is
for
you
:
for
particulars
ever
touch
,
and
awake
,
more
than
generals
.
He
exceeds
not
an
hour
in
preaching
,
because
all
ages
have
thought
that
a
competency
,
and
he
that
profits
not
in
that
time
,
will
less
afterwards
;
the
same
affection
which
made
him
not
profit
before
,
making
him
then
weary
;
and
so
he
grows
from
not
relishing
,
to
loathing
.
6.
On
Sundaies
,
having
read
Divine
Service
twice
fully
,
and
Preached
in
the
morning
,
and
Catechized
in
the
afternoon
,
he
thinks
he
hath
in
some
measure
,
according
to
poor
and
frail
man
,
discharged
the
publick
duties
of
the
Congregation
.
The
rest
of
the
duty
he
spends
either
in
reconciling
neighbours
that
are
at
variance
,
or
in
visiting
the
sick
,
or
in
exhortaton
to
some
of
his
flock
by
themselves
,
whom
his
Sermons
cannot
or
do
not
reach
.
And
every
one
is
more
awaked
,
when
we
come
and
say
,
Thou
art
the
man
.
At
night
he
thinks
it
a
very
fit
time
,
both
sutable
to
the
joy
of
the
day
,
and
without
hinderance
to
publick
duties
,
either
to
entertain
some
of
his
neighbours
,
or
to
be
entertained
of
them
:
where
he
takes
occasion
to
discourse
of
such
things
as
are
both
profitable
and
pleasant
,
and
to
raise
up
their
minds
to
apprehend
God's
blessing
to
our
Church
and
State
,
&c.
(
Here
I
had
ended
,
but
since
I
see
the
Book
is
hard
in
come
by
,
prithee
take
some
more
.
7.
The
Country
Parson
considering
that
Virginitie
is
a
higher
state
than
Matrimony
,
and
that
the
Ministrie
requires
the
best
and
highest
things
,
is
rather
unmarried
,
than
married
.
But
yet
as
the
temper
of
his
bodie
may
be
,
or
as
the
temper
of
his
Parish
may
be
where
he
may
have
occasion
to
converse
with
women
,
and
that
among
suspicious
men
,
and
other
like
circumstances
considered
,
he
is
rather
married
than
unmarried
.
Let
him
communicate
the
thing
often
by
prayer
to
to
God
,
and
as
his
grace
shall
direct
him
,
so
let
him
proceed
.
If
he
be
unmarried
,
and
keep
house
,
he
hath
not
a
woman
in
his
house
,
but
finds
oppertunities
of
having
his
meat
drest
and
other
services
done
by
men
servants
at
home
,
and
his
linnen
washed
abroad
.
If
he
be
unmarried
and
sojourn
,
he
never
talks
with
any
woman
alone
,
but
in
the
audience
of
others
,
and
that
seldom
,
and
then
also
in
a
serious
manner
,
never
jestingly
●r
sportfully
.
He
is
very
circumspect
in
all
companies
,
both
of
his
behaviour
,
speech
and
very
looks
,
knowing
himself
to
be
both
suspected
and
envied
.
If
he
be
married
,
the
choice
of
his
wife
was
made
rather
by
his
ear
,
than
by
his
eye
:
his
judgment
,
not
his
affection
found
out
a
fit
wife
for
him
;
whose
humble
and
liberal
disposition
he
preferred
before
beauty
,
riches
or
honour
.
8.
He
is
very
exact
in
the
government
of
his
house
,
making
it
a
copy
and
model
for
his
Parish
.
He
knows
the
temper
and
pulse
of
every
person
in
his
house
,
and
accordingly
either
meets
with
their
vices
,
or
advanceth
their
virtues
.
His
wife
is
either
religious
,
or
night
and
day
he
is
winning
her
to
it
.
Instead
of
the
qualities
of
the
world
,
he
requires
only
three
of
her
.
1.
a
training
up
of
her
children
and
maids
in
the
fear
of
God
,
with
prayers
and
catechising
,
and
all
religious
duties
,
2.
a
curing
and
healing
of
all
wounds
and
sores
with
her
own
hands
:
which
skill
either
she
brought
with
her
,
or
he
takes
care
she
shall
learn
it
of
some
religious
neighbour
,
3.
a
providing
for
her
family
in
such
sort
,
as
that
neither
they
want
a
competent
sustentation
,
nor
her
husband
in
debt
.
His
children
he
first
makes
Christians
,
and
then
Common-wealths
men
:
the
one
he
owes
to
his
heavenly
Country
,
the
other
to
his
earthly
,
having
no
title
to
either
,
except
he
do
good
to
both
.
●●s
servants
are
all
religious
:
and
were
it
not
his
duty
to
have
them
so
,
it
were
his
profit
:
for
none
are
so
well
served
,
as
by
religious
servants
,
both
because
they
do
best
,
and
because
what
they
do
is
blessed
and
prospers
.
9.
Owing
a
debt
of
Charitie
to
the
poor
,
and
of
courtesie
to
his
other
Parishioners
,
he
so
distinguisheth
,
that
he
keeps
his
mony
for
the
poor
,
and
his
table
for
those
that
be
above
his
alms
.
Not
,
but
that
the
poor
are
welcome
also
to
his
table
:
whom
he
sometimes
purposely
takes
home
with
him
,
setting
them
close
by
him
,
and
carving
for
them
,
both
for
his
own
humility
and
their
comfort
,
who
are
much
cheered
with
such
friendliness
.
But
he
chooseth
rather
to
give
the
poor
money
,
whi●h
they
can
employ
to
their
advantage
,
and
sutably
to
their
needs
.
10.
He
is
full
of
Charitie
:
it
is
his
predominant
element
:
all
his
works
rellish
of
Charity
.
When
he
riseth
in
the
morning
,
he
bethinketh
himself
what
good
deeds
he
can
do
that
day
,
and
presently
doth
them
;
counting
that
day
lost
,
wherein
he
hath
not
exercised
his
charity
.
He
takes
care
,
that
there
be
not
a
begger
,
or
idle
person
in
his
parish
,
but
that
all
be
in
a
competent
way
of
getting
their
living
.
When-ever
he
gives
any
thing
,
and
sees
them
labour
in
thanking
of
him
,
he
exacts
of
them
to
let
him
alone
,
and
say
rather
,
God
be
glorified
:
that
so
the
thanks
may
go
the
right
way
,
and
thither
only
,
where
th●y
are
only
due
.
So
doth
he
also
,
before
giving
,
make
them
say
their
prayers
first
,
or
the
Creed
,
and
ten
Commandements
;
and
as
he
finds
them
perfect
,
rewards
them
the
more
.
For
other
givings
are
lay
and
secular
,
but
this
is
to
give
like
a
Priest
.
11.
He
hath
a
special
care
of
his
Church
,
that
all
things
there
be
decent
,
and
befitting
his
name
by
which
it
is
called
.
Therefore
,
1.
he
takes
order
that
all
things
be
in
good
repair
.
2.
That
the
Church
be
swept
and
kept
clean
without
dust
or
cobwebs
,
and
at
great
Festivals
strawed
and
stuck
with
boughs
,
and
perfumed
with
incense
.
3.
That
there
be
fit
and
proper
texts
of
Scripture
every
where
painted
,
and
that
all
the
painting
be
grave
and
reverend
,
not
with
light
colours
or
foolish
anticks
.
4.
That
all
the
books
appointed
by
Authority
be
there
,
and
those
not
torn
or
fouled
,
but
whole
and
clean
and
well
bound
,
&c.
12.
Upon
the
afternoons
in
the
week
daies
,
he
takes
occasion
sometimes
to
visit
in
person
,
now
one
quarter
of
his
parish
,
now
another
.
For
there
he
shall
find
his
flock
most
naturally
as
they
are
,
wallowing
in
the
midst
of
their
affairs
:
whereas
on
Sondaies
it
is
easie
for
them
to
compose
themselves
to
order
,
which
they
put
on
as
their
Holyday-cloths
,
and
come
to
Church
in
frame
,
but
commonly
the
next
day
put
off
both
.
When
he
comes
to
any
house
,
first
he
blesseth
it
,
and
then
as
he
finds
the
persons
of
the
house
imployed
,
so
he
forms
his
discourse
.
Those
that
he
finds
religiously
employed
,
he
commends
them
much
and
furthers
them
,
by
furnishing
them
with
good
books
.
Those
that
he
finds
busie
in
the
works
of
their
calling
,
he
commendeth
them
also
.
For
it
is
a
good
and
just
thing
for
every
one
to
do
their
own
businesse
.
But
then
he
admonisheth
them
of
two
things
.
1.
That
they
dive
not
too
deep
into
worldly
affairs
,
plunging
themselves
over
head
and
ears
into
carkino
and
caring
;
but
that
they
labour
so
,
as
neither
to
labour
anxiously
,
nor
distrustfully
,
nor
profanely
.
2.
He
adviseth
them
so
to
labour
for
wealth
and
maintenance
,
as
that
they
make
not
that
the
end
of
their
labour
,
but
that
they
may
have
wherewithal
to
serve
God
the
better
,
and
to
do
good
deeds
.
The
Parson
also
questions
what
order
is
kept
in
the
house
,
as
about
prayers
morning
and
evening
on
their
knees
,
reading
of
Scripture
,
Catechising
,
&c.
Neither
disdaineth
he
to
enter
into
the
poorest
Cottage
,
though
he
even
creep
into
it
,
and
though
it
smell
never
so
lothsomely
.
For
,
both
God
is
there
also
,
and
those
for
whom
God
dyed
:
and
so
much
the
rather
doth
he
so
,
as
his
accesse
to
the
poor
is
more
comfortable
,
then
to
the
rich
:
and
in
regard
of
himself
it
is
more
humiliation
.
13.
When
any
of
his
Cure
is
sick
or
afflicted
with
losse
of
friend
,
or
estate
,
or
any
waies
distressed
,
he
fails
not
to
afford
his
best
comforts
,
and
rather
goes
to
them
,
then
sends
for
the
afflicted
,
though
they
can
,
and
otherwise
ought
to
come
to
him
.
To
this
end
he
hath
throughly
digested
all
the
points
of
Consolation
,
as
having
continual
use
of
them
:
such
as
are
,
from
God's
general
providence
extended
even
to
Lillies
,
from
his
particular
to
his
Church
,
from
his
promises
,
from
the
examples
of
all
Saints
that
ever
were
,
from
Christ
himself
perfecting
our
Redemption
no
other
way
then
by
sorrow
,
from
the
benefit
of
affliction
which
softens
and
works
the
stubborn
heart
of
man
,
from
the
certainty
both
of
deliverance
and
reward
if
we
faint
not
,
from
the
comparison
of
the
moment
of
griefs
here
,
with
the
weight
of
joyes
hereafter
.
14.
When
a
just
occasion
calleth
him
out
of
his
Parish
(
which
he
diligently
and
strictly
weigheth
,
his
Parish
being
all
his
joy
and
thought
)
he
leaveth
not
his
Ministry
behind
him
,
but
is
himself
wherever
he
is
.
Therefore
those
he
meeteth
on
the
way
he
blesseth
audibly
,
and
with
those
he
overtakes
,
or
that
overtake
him
,
he
begins
good
discourses
,
such
as
may
edifie
,
interposing
sometimes
some
short
and
honest
refreshments
,
which
may
make
his
other
discourses
more
welcome
and
lesse
tedious
.
And
when
he
comes
to
his
Inne
,
he
refuseth
not
to
joyn
in
prayer
,
that
he
may
enlarge
the
glory
of
God
to
the
company
he
is
in
.
The
like
he
doth
in
the
morning
,
using
pleasantly
the
Outlandish
Proverb
:
Prayers
and
Provinder
never
hinder
journy
.
13.
Wherever
he
is
,
he
keeps
God's
watch
,
that
is
,
there
is
nothing
spoken
or
done
in
the
company
where
he
is
,
but
comes
under
his
test
and
censure
:
If
it
be
well
spoken
or
done
,
he
takes
an
occasion
to
commend
and
enlarge
it
;
if
ill
,
he
presently
laies
hold
of
it
,
lest
the
poyson
steal
into
some
young
and
unwary
spirits
,
and
possesse
them
even
before
they
themselves
heed
it
.
But
this
he
doth
discreerly
,
with
mollifying
and
suppling
words
:
This
was
not
so
well
said
,
as
it
might
have
been
forborn
;
We
cannot
allow
this
.
Or
else
,
if
the
thing
will
admit
Interpretation
,
Your
meaning
is
not
thus
,
but
thus
,
or
,
So
far
indeed
what
you
said
is
true
,
and
well
said
;
but
this
will
not
stand
.
16.
He
is
in
God's
stead
to
his
Parish
,
and
dischargeth
God
what
he
can
of
his
promises
.
Wherefore
there
is
nothing
done
well
,
whereof
he
is
not
the
rewarder
.
If
he
chance
to
find
any
reading
in
another's
Bible
,
he
provides
him
one
of
his
own
.
If
he
find
another
giving
a
poor
man
a
penny
,
he
gives
him
a
tester
for
it
,
if
the
giver
be
fit
to
receive
it
:
if
he
be
of
a
condition
above
such
gifts
,
he
sends
him
a
good
book
,
or
e●seth
him
in
his
Tiths
,
telling
him
when
he
hath
forgotten
it
,
This
I
do
,
because
at
such
and
such
a
time
you
were
charitable
.
17.
The
Country
Parson
values
Catechizing
highly
.
He
useth
and
prefereth
the
ordinary
Church-Catechism
,
partly
for
obodience
to
Authority
,
partly
for
Vniformity
sake
,
that
the
s●me
common
truths
may
be
every
where
professed
.
He
requires
all
to
be
present
at
Catechizing
.
1.
For
the
authority
of
the
work
.
2.
That
Parents
and
Masters
,
as
they
hear
the
Answers
prove
,
may
,
when
they
come
home
,
either
commend
or
reprove
,
either
reward
or
punish
.
3.
That
those
of
the
elder
sort
,
who
are
not
well
grounded
,
may
then
,
by
an
honourable
way
,
take
occasion
to
be
better
instructed
.
4.
That
those
who
are
well
gro●n
in
the
knowledge
of
religion
,
may
examine
their
grounds
,
renew
their
vows
,
and
by
occasion
of
both
enlarge
their
meditations
.
18.
Being
to
administer
the
Sacraments
,
he
is
at
a
stand
with
himself
,
how
or
what
behaviour
to
assume
for
so
holy
things
.
At
Baptism
,
being
himself
in
white
,
he
requires
the
presence
of
all
,
and
baptizeth
,
not
willingly
,
but
on
Sondaies
,
or
great
daies
.
He
admits
no
vain
or
idle
names
,
but
such
as
are
usual
and
accustomed
.
He
saies
that
prayer
with
great
devotion
,
where
God
is
thanked
for
calling
us
to
the
knowledge
of
his
grace
:
willingly
and
cheerfully
crosseth
the
child
,
and
thinketh
the
Ceremony
not
only
innocent
,
but
reverend
:
instructeth
the
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
,
that
it
is
no
complemental
and
light
thing
to
sustain
that
place
:
adviseth
all
to
call
to
mind
their
Baptism
often
.
At
the
times
of
the
Holy
Communion
,
he
first
takes
order
with
the
Church-wardens
,
that
the
Elements
be
of
the
best
,
not
cheap
or
course
,
much
lesse
ill-tasted
or
unwholsom
.
Secondly
,
he
considers
and
looks
into
the
ignorance
or
carelesnesse
of
his
flock
,
and
accordingly
applies
himself
with
Catechizing
and
lively
Exhortations
,
not
on
the
Sonday
of
the
Communion
only
(
for
then
it
is
too
late
)
but
the
Sonday
or
Sondays
before
the
Communion
,
or
on
the
Eves
of
all
those
daies
.
18.
If
there
be
any
of
his
Parish
that
hold
strange
doctrines
,
he
uses
all
possible
diligence
to
reduce
them
to
the
common
faith
.
The
first
me●ns
he
useth
is
prayer
,
beseeching
the
Father
of
lights
to
open
their
eyes
:
the
second
is
a
loving
and
sweet
usage
of
them
:
the
third
is
the
observation
,
what
is
the
main
pillar
of
their
c●use
,
whereon
they
rely
;
as
,
if
he
be
a
Papist
,
the
Church
is
the
hinge
he
turns
on
;
if
a
Schismatick
scandal
.
These
he
hath
diligently
examined
,
&c.

2.
My
parents
had
from
my
Infancy
devoted
me
to
this
Sacred
Calling
,
whereto
,
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
I
have
seasonably
attained
:
for
this
cause
,
I
was
trained
up
in
the
publick
School
of
the
place
.
After
I
had
spent
some
years
(
not
altogether
indiligently
)
under
the
ferule
of
such
Masters
as
the
place
afforded
,
and
had
near
attained
to
some
competent
ripenesse
for
the
Vniversitie
,
my
School-master
perswaded
my
Father
that
I
might
have
my
Education
under
an
excellent
Divine
,
the
Preacher
of
Leicester
.
About
which
time
,
my
elder
brother
having
some
occasions
to
journy
into
Cambridge
,
was
kindly
entertained
there
by
Mr
Nath:
Gilby
,
Fellow
of
Emanuel
Coll:
who
,
for
that
he
was
born
in
the
same
Town
with
me
,
and
had
conceived
some
good
opinion
of
my
aptnesse
to
learning
,
enquired
diligently
concerning
me
,
and
hearing
of
the
diversion
of
my
Fathers
purposes
from
the
University
,
importunately
dissuaded
from
that
new
course
,
professing
to
pity
the
losse
of
so
good
hopes
.
My
Brother
,
partly
moved
with
his
words
,
and
partly
won
by
his
own
eyes
,
to
a
great
love
and
reverence
of
an
Academical
life
,
returning
home
,
fell
upon
his
knees
to
my
Father
,
and
after
report
of
Mr
Gilbies
words
,
and
his
own
admiration
of
the
place
,
earnestly
besought
him
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
alter
that
so
prejudicial
a
resolution
;
that
he
would
not
suffer
my
hopes
to
be
drowned
in
a
shallo●
Country-chanel
,
but
that
he
would
revive
his
first
purposes
for
Cambridge
;
adding
,
in
the
zeal
of
his
love
,
that
if
the
chargeablenesse
of
that
course
were
the
hinderance
,
he
did
there
humbly
beseech
him
,
rather
to
sell
some
part
of
that
land
which
himself
should
in
course
of
nature
inherit
,
then
to
abridge
me
of
that
happy
means
to
perfect
my
Education
.
3.
And
now
I
lived
in
the
exspectation
of
●●●bridge
,
whither
ere
long
I
happily
came
,
under
Mr
Gilbies
tuition
,
together
with
my
worthy
frind
Mr
Hugh
Cholmly
;
who
,
as
we
had
been
partners
of
one
Lesson
from
our
cradles
,
so
so
were
we
now
for
many
years
partners
of
one
bed
.
My
two
first
years
were
necessarily
chargeable
above
the
proportion
of
my
Fathers
power
,
whose
not
very
large
Cistern
was
to
feed
many
pipes
besides
mine
;
His
wearinesse
of
expence
was
wrought
upon
by
the
counsel
of
so
me
unwise
friends
,
who
perswaded
him
to
fasten
me
upon
that
School
as
Master
,
whereof
I
was
lately
a
Scholar
.
Now
was
I
fetch●
home
with
an
heavy
heart
,
and
no●
the
second
time
had
mine
hopes
been
nipt
in
the
blossom
,
had
not
God
raised
me
up
an
unhoped
Benefactor
,
Mr
Edmund
Sleigh
of
Darby
(
whose
pious
memorie
I
have
cause
ever
to
love
and
reverence
)
out
of
no
other
relation
to
me
,
save
that
he
married
my
Aunt
,
pitying
my
too
apparent
dejectednesse
.
He
voluntarily
urged
and
solicited
my
Father
for
my
return
to
the
University
,
and
offered
freely
to
contribute
the
one
half
of
my
maintenance
there
,
till
I
should
attain
to
the
degree
of
Master
of
Arts
:
which
he
no
lesse
lovingly
perform'd
.
The
Condition
was
gladly
accepted
:
thither
was
I
sent
back
with
joy
enough
,
and
ere
long
chosen
Scholar
of
that
strict
and
well
ordered
Colledge
.
4.
By
that
time
I
had
spent
six
years
there
,
now
the
third
year
of
my
Batcherlorship
should
at
once
make
an
end
of
my
maintenance
,
and
in
respect
of
standing
give
me
a
capacity
of
farther
preferment
in
that
house
,
were
it
not
that
my
Country
excluded
me
:
for
our
Statute
allowed
but
one
of
a
shire
to
be
Fellow
there
,
and
my
Tutor
being
of
the
same
Town
with
me
,
must
therefore
necessarily
hold
me
out
.
But
the
Earl
of
Huntingdon
calling
off
my
Tutor
from
his
Fellowship
,
then
was
I
with
a
cheerful
unanimity
chosen
into
that
Societie
:
which
if
it
had
any
equals
,
I
dare
say
had
none
beyond
it
,
for
good
order
,
studious
carriage
,
strict
government
,
austere
piety
;
in
which
I
spent
six
or
seven
years
more
with
such
contentment
,
as
the
rest
of
my
life
hath
in
vain
striven
to
yeild
.
Now
was
I
called
to
publick
Disputations
often
,
with
no
ill
successe
;
for
neither
durst
I
appear
in
any
of
these
exercises
of
Scholarship
,
till
I
had
from
my
knees
lookt
up
to
Heaven
for
a
blessing
,
and
renewed
my
actual
dependance
upon
that
Divine
hand
.
In
this
while
,
two
years
together
,
was
I
chosen
to
the
Rhetorick
Lecture
in
the
publick
School
,
where
I
was
encouraged
with
a
sufficient
frequence
of
auditors
;
but
finding
that
well
applauded
work
somewhat
out
of
my
way
,
not
without
a
secret
blame
of
my self
for
so
much
excursion
,
I
fairly
gave
up
that
task
in
the
midst
of
those
poor
acclamations
to
a
worthy
successor
,
and
betook
my self
to
those
serious
studies
,
which
might
fit
me
for
that
High
Calling
whereunto
I
was
destined
.
Wherein
,
after
I
had
bestowed
my self
for
a
time
,
I
took
the
boldnesse
to
enter
into
Sacred
Orders
;
the
honour
whereof
having
once
attained
,
I
was
no
niggard
of
that
Talent
which
my
God
had
entrusted
to
me
,
preaching
often
as
occasion
was
offered
,
both
in
Country
villages
abroad
,
and
at
home
in
the
most
awful
auditory
of
the
Universitie
.
5.
And
now
I
did
but
wait
where
and
how
it
would
please
my
God
to
imploy
me
.
There
was
at
that
time
a
most
famous
School
erected
at
Tiverton
in
Devon
,
and
endowed
with
a
very
large
pension
,
whose
goodly
fabrick
was
answerable
to
the
reported
maintenance
.
To
the
government
of
this
School
was
I
commended
by
the
Master
of
our
House
Dr
Chaderton
,
when
being
in
London
I
received
a
Letter
from
the
Lady
Drury
of
Suffolk
,
tendring
the
Rectory
of
her
Halsted
then
newly
void
,
and
very
earnestly
desiring
me
to
accept
of
it
.
Sir
,
(
quoth
▪
to
the
Doctor
)
methinks
God
pulls
me
by
the
sleeve
,
and
tells
me
it
is
his
will
I
should
rather
go
to
the
East
than
to
the
West
.
Nay
(
answered
he
)
I
should
rather
think
that
God
would
have
you
go
Westward
,
for
that
he
hath
contrived
your
engagement
before
the
tender
of
this
Letter
,
which
therefore
coming
too
late
may
receive
a
fair
and
easie
answer
.
To
this
I
besought
him
to
pardon
my
dissent
,
adding
,
That
I
well
knew
that
Divinitie
was
the
end
whereto
I
was
destin'd
by
my
Parents
;
which
I
had
so
constantly
proposed
to
my self
,
that
I
never
meant
other
but
to
passe
through
this
Western
School
to
it
:
but
I
saw
that
God
,
who
found
me
ready
to
go
the
farther
way
about
,
now
called
me
the
nearest
and
directest
way
to
that
sacred
end
.
The
good
man
could
no
further
oppose
,
but
only
pleaded
the
dista●t
which
would
hereupon
be
justly
taken
by
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
Popham
(
upon
whom
the
care
of
the
School
was
principally
cast
by
the
Founder
Mr
Blundel
)
whom
I
undertook
fully
to
satisfie
:
which
I
did
with
no
great
difficulty
,
commending
to
his
Lordship
in
my
room
,
my
old
friend
and
Chamber-fellow
,
Mr
Cholmly
,
who
finding
an
answerable
acceptance
disposed
himself
to
the
place
.
So
as
we
two
,
who
came
to
the
University
,
must
now
leave
it
,
at
once
.
6.
Having
then
fixed
my
foot
in
Halsted
,
I
found
there
a
dangerous
opposite
to
the
successe
of
my
Ministerie
,
a
witty
and
bold
Atheist
,
one
Mr
Lilly
,
who
,
by
reason
of
his
travels
and
abilities
of
discourse
and
behaviour
,
had
so
deeply
insinuated
himself
into
my
Patron
,
Sr
Robert
Drury
,
that
there
was
small
hopes
,
during
his
entirenesse
,
for
me
to
work
any
good
upon
that
Noble
Patron
of
mine
:
who
,
by
the
suggestion
of
this
wicked
detractor
,
was
set
off
from
me
before
he
knew
me
.
Hereupon
,
I
confesse
,
finding
the
obduratenesse
and
hopelesse
condition
of
that
man
,
I
bent
my
prayers
against
him
,
beseeching
God
dayly
,
that
he
would
be
pleased
to
remove
,
by
some
means
o●
othet
,
that
apparent
hindrance
of
my
faithful
labours
:
who
gave
me
an
answer
accordingly
:
For
this
malicious
man
going
hastily
to
London
,
to
exasperate
my
Patron
against
me
,
was
then
and
there
swept
away
by
the
Pestilence
,
and
never
returned
to
do
any
further
mischief
.
Now
the
coast
was
clear
before
me
,
and
I
gained
every
day
of
the
good
opinion
and
favourable
respects
of
that
Honourable
Gentleman
,
and
my
worthy
neighbours
.
7.
Being
now
therefore
setled
in
that
sweet
and
civil
Country
of
Suffolk
,
near
St
Edmunds-Bury
,
my
first
work
was
to
build
up
my
house
,
which
was
extremely
ruinous
;
which
done
,
the
uncouth
solitarinesse
of
my
life
,
and
the
extreme
incommodity
of
that
single
house-keeping
,
drew
my
thoughts
after
two
years
to
condiscend
to
the
necessity
of
a
married
estate
,
which
God
no
lesse
strangely
provided
for
me
.
For
,
walking
from
the
Church
on
Monday
in
the
Whitson
week
,
with
a
grave
and
reverend
Minister
,
Mr
Grandidg
,
I
saw
a
comely
and
modest
Gentlewoman
standing
at
the
door
of
that
house
,
where
we
were
invited
to
a
wedding-dinner
,
and
enquiring
of
that
worthy
friend
whether
he
knew
her
;
Yes
,
c●oth
he
,
I
know
her
well
,
and
have
bespoken
her
for
your
wife
.
When
I
farther
demanded
an
account
of
that
Answer
,
he
told
me
,
she
was
daughter
of
a
Gentleman
whom
he
much
respected
,
Mr
George
Winniff
of
Bretenham
;
that
out
of
an
opinion
had
of
the
fitnesse
of
that
Match
for
me
,
he
had
already
treated
with
her
Father
about
it
,
whom
he
found
very
apt
to
entertain
it
,
advising
me
not
to
neglect
the
opper●unitie
:
and
not
concealing
the
just
praises
of
modesty
,
piety
,
good
disposition
and
other
virtues
that
were
lodged
in
that
seemly
presence
,
I
listned
to
the
motion
as
sent
from
God
,
and
at
last
upon
due
prosecution
happily
prevailed
,
enjoying
the
comfortable
Society
of
that
meet
Help
for
the
space
of
forty
nine
years
.
8.
I
had
not
passed
two
years
in
this
estate
,
when
my
noble
Friend
,
Sr
Edmund
Bacon
,
with
whom
I
had
much
entirenesse
,
came
to
me
,
and
earnestly
sollicited
me
for
my
company
in
a
Jorny
by
him
projected
to
the
Spa
in
Ardenna
,
laying
before
me
the
safety
,
the
easinesse
,
the
pleasure
and
the
benefit
of
that
small
extravagance
,
if
oppertunity
were
taken
of
that
time
,
when
the
Earl
of
Hartford
passed
in
Embassie
to
the
Arch-Duke
.
I
soon
yeelded
,
as
for
the
reasons
by
him
urged
,
so
especially
for
the
great
desire
I
had
to
inform
my self
ocularly
of
the
state
and
practice
of
the
Romish
Church
;
the
knowledge
whereof
might
be
of
no
small
use
to
me
in
my
holy
station
.
Having
therefore
taken
careful
order
for
the
supply
of
my
Charge
,
with
the
assent
and
good
allowance
of
my
nearest
Friends
,
I
entred
into
this
secret
voyage
,
&c.
Returning
through
Brussels
,
we
came
do●n
to
Antwerp
,
the
Paragon
of
Cities
:
where
my
curiositie
to
see
a
solemn
Procession
on
S.
John
Baptist's
day
,
might
have
drawn
me
into
danger
(
through
my
willing
unreverence
)
had
not
the
hulk
of
a
tall
Brabanter
,
behind
whom
I
stood
in
the
corner
of
the
street
,
shaded
me
from
notice
.
9.
After
some
year
and
half
,
it
pleased
God
inexpectedly
to
contrive
the
change
of
my
station
.
My
means
were
but
short
at
Halsted
;
yet
such
,
as
I
oft
professed
,
if
my
then
Patron
would
have
added
but
one
ten
pounds
by
year
(
which
I
held
to
be
the
value
of
my
detained
due
)
I
should
never
have
removed
.
One
morning
as
I
lay
in
my
bed
,
a
strong
motion
was
suddenly
glanced
into
my
thoughts
of
going
to
London
.
In
Drurie
lane
I
was
found
by
a
friend
in
whom
I
had
formerly
no
great
interest
,
one
Mr
Gurrey
,
Tutor
to
the
Earl
of
Essex
;
he
told
me
how
well
my
Meditations
were
accepted
at
the
Prince's
Court
;
and
earnestly
advised
me
to
step
over
to
Richmond
,
and
preach
to
his
Highnesse
.
I
strongly
pleaded
my
indisposition
of
body
,
and
my
impreparation
for
any
such
work
,
together
with
my
bashful
fears
,
and
utter
unfitnesse
for
such
a
presence
;
my
aversenesse
doubled
his
importuni●y
:
in
fine
,
he
left
me
not
till
he
had
my
engagement
to
preach
the
Sonday
following
at
Richmond
:
he
made
way
for
me
to
that
awful
Pulpit
,
and
encouraged
me
by
the
favour
of
his
Noble
Lord
,
the
Earl
of
Essex
.
I
preacht
through
the
favour
of
my
God
:
That
Sermon
was
not
so
well
given
as
taken
:
insomuch
as
that
sweet
Prince
signified
his
desire
to
hear
me
again
the
Tuesday
following
,
which
done
,
that
labour
gave
more
contentment
than
the
former
;
so
as
that
gracious
Prince
,
both
gave
me
his
hand
,
and
commanded
me
to
his
service
.
10.
My
Patron
seeing
me
(
upon
my
return
to
London
)
lookt
after
by
some
great
Persons
,
began
to
wish
me
at
home
,
and
told
me
,
That
some
or
other
would
be
snatching
me
up
,
I
answered
,
That
it
was
in
his
power
to
prevent
,
would
he
be
pleased
to
make
my
maintenance
,
but
so
competent
as
in
right
it
should
be
,
I
should
never
stir
from
him
.
In●●ead
of
condescending
,
it
pleased
him
to
fall
into
an
expostulation
of
the
rate
of
competences
,
affirming
the
variablenesse
thereof
,
according
to
our
own
estimation
,
and
our
either
raising
or
moderating
the
causes
of
our
expenses
;
I
shew'd
him
the
insufficiency
of
means
,
that
I
was
forced
to
write
books
to
buy
books
.
Shortly
,
some
harsh
and
unpleasing
answer
,
so
disheartned
me
that
I
resolved
to
embrace
the
first
opportunity
of
remove
.
Now
whiles
I
was
taken
up
with
these
anxious
thoughts
,
a
messenger
(
it
was
Sir
Robert
Wingfield
of
Northampton's
Son
)
came
to
me
from
the
Lord
Denny
,
no●
Earl
of
Norwich
,
my
after-most
Honourable
Patron
,
entreating
me
from
his
Lordship
to
speak
with
him
.
No
sooner
came
I
thither
,
then
after
a
glad
,
and
Noble
welcom
,
I
was
entertained
with
the
Noble
earnest
offer
of
Waltham
.
The
conditions
were
like
the
mover
,
free
and
bountiful
:
I
received
them
as
from
the
munificent
hands
of
my
God
,
and
returned
full
of
the
cheerful
acknowledgments
of
a
gratious
Providence
over
me
.
Too
late
now
did
my
former
Noble
Patron
relent
,
and
offer
me
those
terms
which
had
before
fastned
me
for
ever
.
I
returned
home
happy
in
a
new
master
,
and
in
a
new
Patron
;
betwixt
whom
I
divided
my self
and
my
labours
,
with
much
comfort
and
no
lesse
acceptation
.
11.
In
this
while
,
my
worthy
Kinsman
,
Mr
Samuel
Burton
,
Arch-Deacon
of
Gloc.
knowing
in
ho●
good
terms
I
stood
at
Court
,
and
pitying
the
miserable
condition
of
his
native
Church
of
Wolverhampton
,
was
very
desirous
to
engage
me
in
so
difficult
and
noble
Service
,
as
the
Redemption
of
that
captivated
Church
.
Which
work
having
once
firmly
settled
,
in
a
just
pity
of
the
mean
provision
,
if
not
the
destitution
of
so
many
thousand
souls
,
and
a
desire
and
care
to
have
them
comfortably
provided
for
in
the
future
,
I
resigned
up
my
Prebend
there
to
a
worthy
preacher
,
Mr
Lee
,
who
should
constantly
reside
,
and
painfully
instruct
that
great
and
long
neglected
people
:
which
he
hath
performed
with
great
mutual
contentment
and
happy
successe
.
12.
Now
during
the
22
years
which
I
spent
at
Waltham
,
thrice
was
I
commanded
and
employed
abroad
by
his
Majestie
in
publick
service
.
First
in
the
attendance
of
the
Lord
Vicount
Doncaster
,
who
was
sent
upon
a
Noble
Embassie
,
with
a
gallant
retinue
into
France
.
In
this
my
absence
it
pleased
his
Majestie
gratiously
to
confer
upon
me
the
Deanrie
of
Worcester
,
which
being
promised
me
before
my
departure
,
was
deeply
hazarded
whiles
I
was
out
of
sight
,
by
the
importunity
of
some
great
ones
.
Dr
Field
,
the
learned
and
worthy
Doan
of
Glocester
,
was
,
by
his
potent
Friends
,
put
into
such
assurances
of
it
,
that
I
heard
where
he
took
care
for
the
furnishing
that
ample
house
:
But
,
God
fetcht
it
about
for
me
,
in
that
absence
and
nescience
of
mine
,
and
that
reverend
and
better
deserving
Divine
was
well
satisfied
with
greater
hopes
,
and
soon
after
exchanging
this
mortal
estate
for
an
immortal
and
glorious
.
13.
Before
I
could
go
down
,
through
my
continual
weaknesse
,
to
take
possession
of
that
Dignitie
,
his
Majesty
pleased
to
design
me
to
his
at●●●dance
into
Scotland
;
where
the
great
love
and
respect
that
I
found
,
both
from
the
Ministers
and
people
,
w●ought
me
no
small
envy
from
some
of
our
own
.
Suggestions
were
made
to
his
Majesty
of
my
pl●usible
deme●nour
and
doctrine
to
that
already
prejudicate
people
:
for
which
his
Majesty
,
after
a
gracious
acknowledgment
of
my
good
service
there
done
,
called
me
upon
his
return
to
a
favorable
and
mild
account
;
not
more
freely
professing
what
informations
had
been
given
against
me
,
then
his
own
full
satisfaction
with
my
sincere
and
just
answer
▪
as
whose
excellent
wisdom
well
saw
,
that
such
winning
carriage
of
mine
could
be
no
hinderance
to
his
great
designs
.
At
the
same
time
his
Majesty
having
secret
notice
,
that
a
Letter
was
coming
to
me
from
Mr
W.
Struther
,
a
Reverend
and
Learned
Divine
of
Edenborough
concerning
the
five
points
then
proposed
and
urged
to
the
Church
of
Scotland
,
was
pleased
to
impose
upon
me
an
earnest
charge
to
give
him
a
full
Answer
to
those
modest
Doubts
,
and
at
large
to
declare
my
Judgment
concerning
those
required
Observations
.
Which
I
spedily
performed
with
so
great
approbation
of
his
Majestie
,
that
it
pleased
him
to
command
a
transcript
thereof
,
as
I
was
informed
,
publickly
read
in
their
most
famous
University
.
The
effe●●
whereof
,
his
Majestie
vouchsafed
to
signifie
afterwards
unto
some
of
my
best
friends
,
with
allowance
beyond
my
hopes
.
14.
It
was
not
long
after
,
that
his
Majestie
finding
the
exigence
of
the
Netherlandish
Churches
to
require
it
,
both
advised
them
to
a
Synodical
Decision
,
and
by
his
incomparable
wisdom
promoted
the
work
.
My
un●orthinesse
was
named
for
one
of
the
Assistants
of
that
Honorable
,
Grave
and
Reverent
Meeting
;
where
I
failed
not
of
my
best
service
of
that
woful
distracted
Church
.
By
that
time
I
had
staid
two
months
there
,
the
unquietnesse
of
the
nights
,
in
those
Garrison
Towns
,
working
upon
the
tender
disposition
of
my
body
,
brought
me
to
such
weakness
,
through
want
of
rest
,
that
it
began
to
disable
me
from
attending
the
Synod
.
Yet
it
pleased
God
,
the
very
night
before
I
was
to
preach
the
Latin
Sermon
to
the
Synod
,
to
bestow
upon
me
such
a
comfortable
refreshing
of
sufficient
sleep
,
as
whereby
my
spirits
were
revived
,
and
I
was
enabled
with
much
vivacity
to
perform
that
Service
.
But
when
,
notwithstanding
all
means
,
my
weaknesse
encreased
,
it
pleased
his
gracious
Majestie
to
call
me
off
,
&c.
15.
After
not
many
years
settling
at
home
,
it
grieved
my
Soul
,
to
see
our
own
Church
sicken
of
the
same
disease
,
which
we
had
endeavoured
to
cure
in
our
Neighbours
.
Sides
were
taken
,
and
Pulpits
every
where
rang
of
these
opinions
.
Now
,
as
one
that
desired
to
do
all
good
offices
to
our
dear
and
common
Mother
,
I
set
my
thoughts
on
work
,
how
so
dangerous
a
quarrel
might
be
happily
composed
,
and
wrote
a
little
projest
of
Pacification
,
gathering
out
of
Bishop
Overal
on
the
one
side
,
and
out
of
our
English
Divines
at
Dort
on
the
other
,
such
common
propositions
concerning
these
five
busie
Articles
,
as
wherein
both
of
them
are
fully
agreed
.
These
reconciliatory
papers
were
presented
to
his
Majestie
,
together
with
an
humble
motion
of
a
peacesible
silence
to
be
enjoined
to
both
parts
,
in
those
other
collateral
&
needlesse
Disputations
.
These
fell
under
the
eyes
of
some
grave
Divines
of
both
parts
,
who
p●oferd
their
hands
to
a
ready
subscription
:
so
as
much
peace
promised
to
result
out
of
that
weak
and
poor
enterprize
,
had
not
the
confused
noise
of
the
misconstructions
of
those
,
who
never
saw
the
work
(
crying
it
down
for
the
very
name
sake
)
meeting
with
the
royal
edict
of
a
general
Inhition
,
buried
it
in
a
secure
silence
.
I
was
scorched
a
little
with
this
flame
,
which
I
de●ired
to
quench
;
yet
this
could
not
stay
my
hand
from
thru●●ing
it self
into
a
hotter
fire
.
16.
Some
insolent
Romanists
pressed
nothing
so
much
,
as
a
Catalogue
of
the
professions
of
our
Religion
;
to
be
deduced
from
the
Primitive
times
,
and
with
the
peremtory
challenge
of
the
impossibility
of
this
pedigree
dazled
the
eyes
of
the
simple
.
Whiles
some
of
our
learned
men
,
undertaking
to
satisfie
so
needlesse
and
unjust
a
demand
,
gave
,
as
I
conceive
,
great
advantage
to
the
Adversary
;
in
a
just
indignation
,
to
see
us
thus
wrongd
by
mistareing
the
Question
betwixt
us
,
as
if
we
,
yeelding
our selves
of
another
Church
,
originally
and
fundamentally
different
,
should
make
good
our
own
E●ection
upon
the
Ruines
,
yea
and
Nullity
of
others
;
and
well
considering
the
infinite
and
great
inconveniences
,
that
must
needs
follow
upon
this
defence
;
I
adventured
to
set
my
pen
on
work
,
(
desiring
to
rectifie
the
opinions
of
those
men
,
whom
an
ignorant
zeal
had
transported
,
to
the
prejudice
of
our
holy
cause
,
)
laying
forth
the
damnable
corruptions
of
the
●oman
●hurch
,
yet
making
our
Game
at
the
outward
visibilitie
thereof
,
and
by
this
means
putting
them
to
the
probation
of
those
newly
obtruded
corruptions
,
which
are
truly
guilty
of
the
breach
betwixt
us
.
The
drift
whereof
being
not
well
conceived
by
some
spirits
,
that
were
not
so
wise
as
fervent
,
I
was
suddenly
exposed
to
the
rash
censures
of
many
well
affected
and
zealous
Protestants
;
as
if
a
Remission
to
my
wonted
zeal
to
the
truth
,
attributed
too
much
to
the
Roman
Church
,
and
strengthned
the
Adversaries
hands
,
and
weakned
our
own
.
This
envy
I
was
fain
to
take
off
by
my
speedy
Apologetical
Advertisement
,
and
after
that
by
my
Reconcilor
,
se●●●ded
with
the
unanimous
Letters
of
such
Reverend
,
Learned
,
sound
Divines
,
both
Bishops
and
Doctors
,
as
whose
undoubtable
Authority
was
able
to
bear
down
calumny
it self
.
Which
done
I
did
,
by
a
seasonable
Moderation
,
provide
for
the
peace
of
the
Church
,
in
silencing
both
my
Defendants
and
Challengers
,
in
this
unkind
and
ill-raised
quarrel
.
17.
Immediatly
before
the
publishing
of
this
Tractate
(
which
did
not
a
little
aggravate
the
envy
and
suspicion
)
I
was
by
his
Majesty
raised
to
be
Bishop
of
Exeter
,
having
formerly
with
humble
deprecation
,
refused
the
See
of
Glocester
earnestly
proferd
to
me
.
I
entred
upon
that
place
,
not
without
much
prejudice
and
suspicion
on
some
hands
.
For
some
,
that
sate
at
the
Stern
of
the
Church
,
had
me
in
great
jealousie
for
too
much
favour
of
Puritanisus
.
I
soon
had
intelligence
,
who
were
set
over
me
for
Espials
:
my
waies
were
curiously
observed
and
scanned
.
However
I
took
the
resolution
to
follow
those
courses
,
which
might
most
conduce
to
the
peace
and
happinesse
of
my
ne●
and
weighty
charge
.
Finding
therefore
some
factious
spirits
very
busie
in
that
Diocesse
,
I
used
all
fair
and
gentle
means
to
win
them
to
good
order
;
and
therein
so
happily
prevailed
,
that
(
saving
two
of
that
numerous
Clergy
,
who
continuing
in
their
refracto●inesse
fled
away
from
censure
)
they
were
all
pe●fectly
reclaimed
:
so
as
I
had
not
one
Minister
professedly
opposite
to
the
antiently
received
Orders
(
for
I
was
never
guilty
of
urging
any
ne●
impositions
of
the
Church
in
that
large
Dio●ess
.
18.
In
the
last
year
of
presiding
the●e
,
after
the
Synodical
Oath
was
set
on
foot
(
which
yet
I
did
never
tender
to
any
one
Minister
of
my
Diocess
)
by
the
in●itation
of
some
bu●●e
interlopers
of
the
neighbour
County
,
some
of
them
began
to
enter
into
an
unkind
contestation
with
me
,
about
the
election
of
Clerks
for
the
Convocation
;
whom
they
secre●ly
,
without
ever
acquainting
me
with
their
desire
or
purpose
(
as
driving
to
that
end
●hich
we
see
now
accomplished
)
would
needs
nominate
and
set
up
in
competition
to
those
,
whom
I
had
(
after
the
usual
form
)
recommended
to
them
.
That
they
had
a
right
to
free
voices
in
that
choice
,
I
deny
not
:
only
I
had
reason
to
take
it
unkindly
,
that
they
would
work
underhand
without
me
and
against
me
.
It
came
to
the
poll
:
those
of
my
nomination
carried
it
:
the
Parliament
begun
:
after
some
hard
tugging
there
;
returning
ho●e
upon
a
recesse
,
I
was
met
by
the
way
and
chearfully
welcomed
by
some
hundreds
.
19.
In
no
worse
terms
,
I
left
that
my
once
dear
Diocese
:
when
returning
to
Westminster
,
I
was
soon
called
by
his
Majestie
(
who
was
then
in
the
North
)
to
a
remove
to
Norwich
.
But
how
I
took
the
Tower
in
my
way
,
and
how
I
have
been
dealt
with
since
my
repair
hither
,
I
could
be
lavish
in
the
sad
report
,
ever
desiring
my
good
God
to
enlarge
my
heart
in
thankfulnesse
to
him
,
for
the
sensible
experience
I
have
had
of
his
Fatherly
Hand
over
me
,
in
the
deepest
of
all
my
Afflctions
,
and
to
strengthen
me
,
for
whatsoever
other
tryals
he
shall
be
pleased
to
call
me
unto
:
That
being
found
faithful
unto
the
death
,
I
may
obtain
that
Crown
of
life
,
which
he
hath
ordained
for
all
those
that
overcome
.

The
Arch-bishop
for
his
advance
in
learning
,
sent
him
to
Cant:
Coll.
(
now
Christ-Church
)
in
Oxford
.
Thence
he
removed
to
New
Inn
,
an
Inne
of
Chancery
,
to
study
the
Law
:
then
to
Lincolns
Inn
,
where
he
was
made
Barrister
.
And
then
he
for
some
time
read
upon
S.
Austins
de
Civ
.
Dei
,
in
S.
Laurence
Church
,
where
his
Lectures
were
frequented
by
Grocin
and
other
learned
men
:
then
,
for
three
years
was
he
eader
in
Furnivals
Inn
:
after
which
,
for
about
four
years
,
he
gave
himself
to
study
and
devotion
in
the
Charter-house
.
3.
He
was
(
first
)
maried
to
Mr
Coles
daughter
of
New-hall
in
Essex
,
and
lived
with
her
in
Bucklers-burie
in
London
,
where
he
had
by
her
one
Son
and
three
Daughters
,
whom
he
brought
up
in
virtue
and
learning
,
often
exhorting
them
to
take
that
for
their
meat
,
and
play
but
for
their
sauce
.
4.
In
the
later
end
of
K.
Henry
7.
he
fell
into
the
Kings
displeasure
,
for
opposing
the
imposition
proposed
in
Parliament
toward
the
matching
of
the
Lady
Margaret
into
Scotland
,
Which
he
argued
against
strongly
,
that
one
of
the
Privy
Chamber
told
the
King
,
A
beardlesse
Boy
had
frustrated
all
his
expectations
.
To
avoid
danger
he
determined
to
have
gone
over
Sea
,
but
the
Kings
death
happening
soon
after
acquitted
him
of
his
fear
.
4.
No●
is
he
made
under-Sheriff
of
London
,
by
which
office
,
and
his
learning
together
,
he
gained
(
as
himself
said
)
without
grudge
of
conscience
400l
per
an
.
for
he
was
of
Counsel
in
most
causes
,
choo●ing
ever
the
justest
side
,
and
for
the
most
part
victorious
.
Twice
was
he
employed
abroad
by
the
Kings
con●●nt
in
some
great
Causes
of
the
Merchants
.
Being
called
by
Cardinal
Woo●sie
to
the
Kings
service
,
he
excused
himself
at
first
,
but
at
last
(
his
fame
and
merit
encreasing
)
the
King
would
take
no
denial
.
Thus
is
he
made
Master
of
the
requests
:
within
a
month
Knighted
,
and
one
of
the
Privy
Council
;
continuing
in
his
Majesties
favour
and
trusty
service
twenty
years
and
above
.
In
good
part
of
which
time
,
the
King
was
so
pleased
with
his
converse
,
and
taken
with
the
variety
of
his
learned
and
pleasant
discourse
,
that
Sr
Thomas
scarce
●●●ained
time
(
till
he
abated
of
his
former
mirth
)
once
in
a
month
to
go
home
to
his
wife
and
children
.
The
King
,
upon
the
death
of
Weston
,
without
asking
,
freely
advanced
him
to
be
Treasurer
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
in
the
14
year
of
his
Majesties
raign
was
he
chosen
Speaker
of
the
House
of
Commons
.
5.
At
this
Parliament
he
crossed
the
Cardinal
and
incurred
his
displeasure
,
so
that
in
revenge
he
counselled
the
King
to
send
Sr
Thomas
Embassadour
into
Spain
,
commending
his
wisdom
,
learning
and
fitnesse
for
that
employment
.
But
,
Sr
Thomas
having
declared
to
his
Majestie
how
unfit
a
journy
it
was
for
him
to
undertake
,
the
nature
of
the
Country
and
his
complexion
so
disagreeing
,
that
if
he
were
sent
thither
,
he
should
be
sent
to
his
grave
:
neverthelesse
being
ready
with
the
peril
of
his
life
to
fulfil
his
Majesties
pleasure
;
the
King
graciously
said
.
It
is
not
our
meaning
Mr
More
to
do
you
hurt
,
but
to
do
you
good
we
would
be
glad
:
we
therefore
will
think
of
some
other
,
and
employ
your
service
otherwise
.
And
such
entire
favour
did
the
King
bear
him
,
that
upon
the
death
of
Wingfield
he
preferred
him
to
be
Chancellor
of
the
Dutchy
of
Lancaster
.
6.
K.
Henrie
took
so
great
pleasure
in
Sr
Thomas's
company
,
that
he
would
suddenly
come
to
his
house
at
Clelsey
to
be
merry
with
him
;
and
once
,
after
dinner
walking
in
the
Garden
,
about
an
hour
embraced
his
neck
.
After
,
when
his
son
Roper
rejoiced
at
it
:
I
have
no
cause
to
be
proud
of
it
(
quoth
Sr
Thomas
)
for
if
my
head
would
win
him
a
Castle
in
France
,
it
would
not
fail
to
go
off
.
7.
Sr
Thomas
More
;
though
in
great
honour
and
favour
with
his
Prince
,
was
not
therefore
puft
up
with
pride
,
disdain
or
arrogancy
,
but
was
of
such
a
mild
behaviour
and
excellent
temper
,
that
his
Son
in
Law
witnesseth
;
For
sixteen
years
time
and
more
that
he
dwelt
in
his
house
,
and
was
conversant
with
him
,
he
could
never
perceive
him
so
much
as
once
in
a
passion
.
If
he
child
any
for
a
fault
,
it
was
with
exceeding
love
and
compassion
:
if
he
fortuned
to
argue
with
any
learned
man
(
as
he
was
visited
by
many
)
when
he
perceived
his
adversarie
to
be
in
a
streit
,
he
would
by
some
witty
invention
break
off
and
fall
into
some
other
matter
.
8.
When
Sr
Thomas
was
employed
by
the
King
in
Flanders
,
an
arrogant
fellow
had
set
up
a
Thesis
,
that
he
would
answer
any
question
could
be
propounded
to
him
in
what
Art
soever
.
Sr
Thomas
made
this
question
to
be
put
up
for
him
to
answer
,
An
Averia
capta
in
Withernamia
sint
irreplegebilia
,
adding
,
that
there
was
one
of
the
English
●mbassadors
retinue
,
that
would
dispute
with
him
thereof
.
This
Thraso
,
not
so
much
as
understanding
those
terms
of
our
Common
Law
,
became
ridiculous
to
all
the
town
for
his
bragging
.
9.
As
he
walked
by
the
Thames
side
near
Chelsey
,
in
discourse
,
he
said
:
Now
,
would
to
our
Lord
,
upon
condition
that
three
things
were
well
established
in
Christendom
,
I
were
put
into
a
sack
,
and
here
presently
cast
into
the
Thames
.
Being
asked
,
what
those
three
things
were
,
he
answered
:
1.
That
where
most
part
of
Chriistian
Princes
be
now
at
mortal
war
,
they
were
at
an
universal
peace
.
2.
That
where
the
Church
of
Christ
is
at
this
time
sore
afflicted
with
many
errors
and
heresies
,
it
were
settled
in
a
perfect
uniformitie
of
Religion
.
3.
That
whereas
the
Kings
marriage
is
now
brought
in
question
,
it
were
to
the
glorie
of
God
and
quietness
of
all
parties
well
concluded
.
10.
When
he
observed
any
of
his
to
spend
much
time
in
dressing
themselves
,
to
be
fine
in
their
Apparel
,
he
would
tell
them
:
That
if
God
gave
them
not
hell
,
he
should
do
them
much
wrong
;
for
they
took
more
pains
to
please
the
world
and
the
Divel
,
than
many
even
virtuous
men
did
to
clense
their
souls
and
please
God
.
11.
To
his
wife
and
children
,
when
at
any
time
they
were
troubled
,
he
would
say
:
We
may
not
look
at
our
pleasure
to
go
to
heaven
in
fether-beds
that
is
not
the
way
.
For
our
Lord
himself
went
thither
through
pain
,
and
many
tribulations
:
and
the
servant
may
not
look
to
be
in
better
condition
than
the
master
.
12.
The
King
sent
the
Bishop
of
Durham
and
Sr
Thomas
More
Embassadors
to
Cambray
(
a
place
,
then
,
neither
Imperial
nor
French
)
to
treat
of
a
peace
between
the
Emperor
and
the
French
King
and
Him
.
In
the
conclusion
,
Sr
Thomas
so
worthily
behaved
himself
(
procuring
in
the
league
far
more
advantages
unto
this
Kingdom
,
than
at
that
time
by
the
King
or
his
Council
was
thought
possible
)
that
for
his
good
service
in
that
employment
,
the
King
made
him
Lord
Chancellor
,
and
caused
the
Dukes
of
Norfolk
and
Suffolk
to
bring
him
through
Westmin●●er-hall
to
his
place
in
the
Chancery
.
Where
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
in
audience
of
all
the
people
there
assembled
,
shewed
that
he
was
from
the
King
himself
streitly
charged
by
commission
,
there
openly
in
presence
of
them
all
,
to
make
Declaration
how
much
all
England
●as
heholding
to
Sr
Tho.
More
for
his
good
service
,
●nd
how
worthy
he
was
of
the
highest
preferment
in
the
Kingdom
,
and
how
dearly
his
Grace
loved
and
trusted
him
.
13.
Now
upon
Sr
Tho:
More's
entrance
into
this
honorable
Office
,
every
one
might
perceive
a
very
strange
alteration
.
For
,
whereas
the
precedent
Chancellor
Wolsey
would
scarce
look
or
speak
to
any
;
into
whose
only
presence
none
could
be
admitted
unlesse
his
fingers
were
tipt
with
gold
:
on
the
contrary
,
this
Chancellor
,
the
poorer
and
meaner
the
Suppliant
was
,
the
more
affably
he
would
speak
unto
him
,
the
more
attentively
he
would
hearken
to
his
cause
,
and
with
speedy
tryal
dispatch
him
.
For
which
purpose
he
used
commonly
every
afternoon
to
sit
in
his
Hall
,
that
if
any
Person
watsoever
had
any
sute
unto
him
,
they
might
the
more
boldly
come
into
his
presence
,
and
open
their
complaints
before
him
.
To
shew
his
integrity
,
he
professed
:
If
the
parties
will
at
my
hands
call
for
justice
,
though
my
Father
,
whom
I
dearly
love
,
stood
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
Divel
,
whom
I
extremely
hate
,
stood
on
the
other
,
his
cause
being
good
,
the
Devil
should
have
right
.
14.
The
Bishops
(
considering
his
learned
works
in
defence
of
religion
,
and
knowing
that
(
for
all
his
Princes
favour
)
he
was
no
rich
man
,
nor
advanced
in
yearly
revenues
,
as
his
worthinesse
deserved
)
agreed
together
in
Convocation
,
and
concluded
upon
a
sum
of
four
or
five
thousand
pounds
to
recompence
him
for
his
pains
.
T●nstal
and
some
other
Bishops
repaired
to
him
,
and
declared
,
That
albeit
they
could
not
according
to
his
deserts
so
worthily
requite
him
as
they
gladly
would
,
but
must
refer
that
only
to
the
goodness
of
God
;
yet
for
a
small
part
of
recompence
,
in
respect
of
his
estate
so
unequal
to
his
worthinesse
,
in
the
name
of
their
whole
Convocation
,
they
presented
to
him
that
sum
,
which
they
desired
him
to
accept
of
.
To
whom
he
answered
:
That
like
as
it
was
no
small
comfort
to
him
,
that
so
wise
and
learned
men
so
well
accepted
o
his
doings
,
for
which
he
never
intended
to
receive
reward
but
at
the
hands
of
God
only
,
to
whom
alone
was
the
thanks
thereof
chiefly
to
be
ascribed
;
so
also
he
most
humbly
thanked
the
Honors
for
their
bountiful
consideration
;
But
,
for
all
their
importunity
,
they
could
not
fasten
it
upon
him
,
nor
would
he
suffer
them
to
bestow
it
upon
his
wife
and
children
.
15.
He
behaved
himself
in
his
office
of
the
Chancellorship
(
for
the
space
of
two
years
and
a
half
)
so
wisely
that
none
could
mend
his
doings
,
so
uprightly
that
none
could
take
exception
against
him
,
so
dextrously
that
(
t
is
to
be
supposed
)
never
any
man
before
or
since
did
that
which
h●
did
.
For
he
had
taken
such
order
for
the
dispatching
of
all
mens
causes
,
that
on
a
time
sitting
as
Judge
there
,
and
having
finished
one
cause
,
calling
for
the
next
to
be
heard
,
answer
was
made
,
That
there
was
not
one
cause
more
depending
.
This
he
caused
to
be
set
down
upon
Record
.
16.
After
he
had
obtained
of
the
King
a
discharge
from
his
office
,
he
fell
into
his
Majesties
displeasure
about
●he
Marriage
.
And
then
was
he
accused
for
receiving
a
bribe
from
one
Vaughans
wife
.
The
matter
being
laid
to
his
charge
before
the
Council
,
he
confessed
,
that
a
gilt
Cup
being
(
long
after
a
certain
Decree
)
brought
him
for
a
●●w
years
gift
,
and
pressed
on
him
,
in
courtesie
he
received
it
.
Whereupon
his
Adversary
with
much
joy
said
,
Lo
,
my
Lords
,
did
I
not
tell
y●u
,
that
you
should
find
the
matter
true
?
Sr
Thomas
desiring
their
Lordships
to
hear
him
out
,
It
is
true
,
said
he
,
I
did
,
being
much
urged
,
receive
that
Cup
,
but
immediately
caused
my
Butler
to
fill
it
with
wine
,
drank
to
the
Gentle
●oman
,
and
freelie
gave
it
to
her
again
to
be
presented
to
her
husband
,
as
a
New
years
gift
for
him
.
This
being
testified
presently
upon
oath
of
the
party
her self
and
others
,
the
mountain
was
delivered
of
a
Mouse
.
17.
After
the
King's
indignation
against
Sir
Thomas
More
,
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
and
He
chanced
to
fall
in
discourse
,
and
amongst
other
talk
,
the
Duke
said
unto
him
,
By
the
Masse
,
Mr
More
,
it
is
perillous
striving
with
Princes
,
and
therefore
I
would
wish
you
somewhat
to
incline
to
the
Kings
pleasure
.
For
,
Indignatio
Principis
mors
est
.
Is
that
all
,
my
Lord
,
said
Sir
Thomas
,
Then
in
good
faith
is
there
no
more
difference
betwixt
your
Grace
and
me
,
but
that
I
shall
dye
to
day
and
you
to
morrow
.
18.
When
he
was
sent
unto
the
Tower
(
for
not
swearing
to
the
Oath
of
Supre●acy
and
Succession
)
at
his
entrance
there
,
the
Porter
demanded
of
him
his
upper
garment
.
Mr
Porter
,
said
he
,
here
it
is
:
and
took
off
his
Cap
and
g●ve
it
him
:
I
am
sorrie
it
is
no
better
for
thee
.
No
Sir
,
said
the
Porter
,
I
must
have
your
Gown
,
which
he
gave
him
.
19.
The
Lieutenant
coming
into
his
chamber
to
visit
him
,
professed
himself
obliged
by
former
favours
to
ente●t●in
him
nobly
:
which
since
he
could
not
do
for
fear
of
the
Kings
displeasure
,
he
prayed
him
to
accept
of
his
good
will
,
and
such
poor
fare
as
he
had
:
Master
Lieutenant
(
quoth
Sir
Thomas
)
I
believe
you
are
my
frind
,
I
thank
you
for
your
good
will
,
and
I
assure
you
I
d●
not
mislike
my
cheer
:
but
whensoever
I
do
,
then
thrus●
me
out
of
your
doors
.
20.
In
the
●ower
,
he
had
begun
a
Divine
Treatise
of
the
Passion
of
Christ
,
and
when
he
came
to
these
words
of
the
Gospel
,
(
And
the
)
laid
hands
on
him
and
held
him
)
they
●ook
from
him
all
his
Books
,
Ink
,
and
Paper
,
so
that
he
could
go
on
no
further
.
Afterwards
,
he
applyed
himself
holly
to
Meditation
,
keeping
his
Chamber
windows
fast
shut
and
very
dark
;
the
occasion
whereof
the
Lieutenant
asking
;
It
is
time
(
said
he
)
when
all
the
wares
are
gone
to
shut
up
shop
.
21.
After
he
had
received
the
sentence
of
death
,
he
said
to
the
Judges
:
My
Lords
,
as
w●
read
that
Paul
consented
to
the
death
of
Stephen
,
and
yet
be
they
now
both
Saints
in
Heaven
,
and
shall
continue
there
friends
for
ever
;
so
I
verily
trust
,
and
shall
therefore
right
heartily
pray
,
that
though
your
L●●dships
have
been
now
Judges
on
earth
to
my
condemnation
,
we
may
yet
hereafter
all
meet
together
in
Heaven
merrily
to
our
everlasting
salvation
.
And
so
I
pray
God
preserve
my
Soveraign
Lord
the
King
,
and
send
him
faithful
Councellors
.

SIR
Henry
Wotton
was
born
An.
1568.
in
Bocton-Hall
,
in
the
Pa●ish
of
Bocto●
Malherb
,
in
the
fruitful
Country
of
Kent
:
both
House
and
Church
seated
within
a
fair
Park
of
the
Wottons
,
on
the
brow
of
such
a
hill
as
gives
the
advantage
of
a
large
prospect
,
and
of
equal
pleasure
to
all
behol●ers
.
But
they
are
not

2.
Thomas
Wotton
(
the
Father
of
our
Henrie
)
was
a
Gent.
excellently
educated
and
studious
in
all
the
liberal
Arts
:
who
,
although
he
had
many
invitations
from
Queen
Elizabeth
to
change
his
Countr●e
recreations
and
retirement
for
a
Court
life
,
offering
him
a
Knighthood
(
she
was
then
with
him
at
his
Bocton-hall
)
and
to
be
but
as
an
earnest
of
some
more
honorable
and
more
profitable
imployment
under
her
,
yet
he
humbly
refuseth
both
;
being
a
man
of
great
modestie
,
of
a
most
plain
and
single
heart
,
of
an
antient
freedom
and
integritie
of
mind
:
A
commendation
,
which
Sir
Henrie
took
occasion
often
to
remember
with
great
gladness
,
and
thankfully
to
boast
himself
the
Son
of
such
a
Father
:
from
whom
indeed
he
derived
that
noble
Ingenuitie
that
was
alwaies
practised
by
himself
,
and
which
he
ever
commended
and
cherished
in
others
.
3.
Of
this
Family
was
Nicholas
Wotton
Doctor
of
Law
,
and
sometime
Dean
of
Canterburie
:
a
man
whom
God
did
not
only
blesse
with
a
long
life
,
but
with
great
abilitiès
of
mind
,
and
an
inclination
to
employ
them
in
the
service
of
his
Country
;
as
is
testified
by
his
several
imployments
,
having
been
sent
nine
times
Embassador
unto
forein
Princes
,
a
Privy
Councellor
to
●
.
Henrie

Edward
6.
Q.
Marie
and
Q.
Elizabeth
:
who
imployed
him
three
several
times
for
setling
of
peace
between
England
,
Scotland
and
France
,
who
also
offered
him
the
Archbishoprick
of
Cant.
but
he
refused
it
,
and
dyed
not
rich
,
though
he
had
lived
in
the
time
of
dissolution
of
Abbies
.
He
dyed
(
saith
learned
Camden
)
full
of
commendation
for
Wisdom
and
Pietie
.
4.
The
Father
of
Sir
Henrie
after
the
death
of
his
first
wife
resolved
,
if
he
should
marry
again
,
to
avoid
three
sorts
of
persons
;
namely
,
those
that
had
children
,
or
had
law
suits
,
or
were
of
his
kinred
.
And
yet
,
following
his
own
Law-suits
,
he
met
in
Westminster-hall
with
one
Mrs
Morton
widow
,
(
daughter
to
Sir
William
Finch
of
Kent
)
who
was
also
ingaged
in
several
suits
in
Law
:
and
observing
her
Comportment
at
the
time
of
hearing
one
of
her
Causes
before
the
Judges
,
he
could
not
but
at
the
same
time
both
compassionate
her
condition
,
and
so
affect
her
person
,
that
although
there
was
in
her
a
concurrence
of
all
those
accidents
against
which
he
had
resolved
,
yet
he
sollicited
her
for
a
wife
and
obtained
her
.
By
her
he
had
our
Henrie
,
his
youngest
son
.
5.
His
Mother
was
Tutoresse
to
him
during
his
childhood
:
for
hich
care
and
pains
he
paid
her
every
day
with
such
visible
signs
of
future
perfection
in
learning
,
as
turned
her
imployment
into
a
pleasing
trouble
.
After
,
his
Father
took
him
into
his
particular
care
,
and
disposed
of
him
to
a
Tutor
in
his
own
house
:
and
when
time
and
diligent
instruction
had
fitted
him
(
which
was
very
early
)
he
was
sent
to
Winch●ster
School
,
a
place
of
st●ict
Dis●ipline
and
Order
,
that
so
he
might
in
his
youth
be
mo●ded
into
a
method
of
living
by
rule
.
And
that
he
might
be
confirmed
in
this
Regularitie
,
he
was
at
a
fit
age
removed
from
that
School
to
New
Coll
:
in
Oxford
.
6.
There
he
continued
till
about
the
18th
year
of
his
age
,
and
was
then
transplanted
into
Queens
Coll.
where
within
that
year
he
wrote
a
Play
for
their
private
use
,
the
Tragedie
of
Tancredo
,
so
ell
,
that
the
gravest
of
that
Society
declared
,
he
had
in
a
slight
exercise
given
an
early
and
a
solid
te●imony
of
future
abilities
.
About
the
19th
year
of
his
age
,
he
proceeded
Master
of
Arts
,
and
at
that
time
read
in
Latin
three
Lectures
De
oculo
:
wherein
,
having
described
the
form
,
motion
,
curious
composure
of
the
eye
,
&c.
in
the
conclusion
he
took
a
fair
occasion
to
beautifie
his
discourse
with
a
commendation
of
the
blessing
and
benefit
of
seeing
;
so
exactly
and
Rhetorically
,
as
,
among
other
admirers
,
caused
that
learned
Italian
Albericus
Gentilis
(
then
professor
of
the
Civil
Law
in
Oxford
)
to
call
him
,
Henrice
mi
ocelle
;
which
dear
expression
of
his
was
used
by
many
other
persons
of
note
,
during
his
stay
in
the
Vniversitie
.
7.
After
his
Optick
Lecture
,
he
was
taken
into
such
a
bosom
friendship
with
Gentilis
,
that
if
it
had
been
possible
,
he
would
have
breathed
all
his
excellent
knowledge
both
of
the
Mathematicks
and
Law
into
the
breast
of
his
dear
Henrie
(
for
so
he
used
to
call
him
)
and
though
he
was
not
able
to
do
that
,
yet
there
was
in
Sir
Harrie
such
a
propensity
and
connaturalnesse
to
the
Italian
language
and
those
studies
whereof
Gentilis
was
a
great
Master
,
that
this
friendship
between
them
did
dayly
increase
and
proved
dayly
advantageous
to
Sir
Henrie
for
the
improvement
of
him
in
several
Sciences
.
Among
his
other
friends
in
Oxford
,
I
must
not
omit
the
mention
of
a
love
there
begun
between
him
and
Dr
Donne
(
whom
,
he
of
this
nation
,
who
pretends
to
learning
or
ingenuity
,
and
is
ignorant
of
,
deserves
not
to
kno●
.
)
This
friendship
was
generously
elemented
,
and
as
it
was
begun
in
their
Youth
in
the
●niversity
,
and
there
maintained
by
correspondent
inclination
and
studies
,
so
it
lasted
till
Age
and
Death
forced
a
separation
.
8.
The
year
after
Sir
Henrie
proceeded
Master
of
Arts
;
his
Father
(
whom
he
did
never
mention
without
this
or
some
like
reverential
expression
,
That
good
man
my
Father
)
changed
this
for
a
better
life
,
leaving
to
Sr
Henry
,
as
to
his
other
younger
sons
,
a
rent
charge
of
an
hundred
Marks
a
year
to
be
paid
for
ever
out
of
one
of
his
Mannors
of
a
much
greater
value
.
About
two
years
after
,
being
about
t●o
and
twenty
,
and
having
to
his
great
Wit
added
the
ballast
of
Learning
,
he
laid
aside
his
Books
,
and
betook
himself
to
travel
and
a
more
general
conversation
with
Mankind
:
imploying
the
remaining
part
of
his
youth
to
purchase
the
rich
treasure
of
forein
knowledg
.
Of
which
,
both
for
the
secrets
of
nature
,
the
dispositions
of
many
Nations
,
their
several
Laws
and
Languages
,
he
became
the
possessor
in
a
very
large
measure
.
9.
In
his
Travels
(
which
was
almost
nine
years
before
his
return
into
England
)
he
stayed
but
one
year
in
France
,
and
most
of
that
in
Geneva
:
where
he
became
acquainted
with
Theodore
Beza
,
(
then
very
aged
)
and
with
Isaac
Casaubon
,
that
most
learned
man
.
Three
of
the
remaining
eight
years
were
spent
in
Germanie
,
the
other
five
in
Italy
the
stage
on
which
God
appointed
he
should
act
a
great
part
of
his
life
)
where
both
in
Rome
,
Venice
,
and
Florence
,
he
became
acquainted
with
the
most
eminent
men
for
learning
and
all
manner
of
Arts
,
as
Picture
,
Sculpture
,
Chymistrie
,
Architecture
,
and
divers
other
manual
Arts
,
even
Arts
of
inferiour
nature
:
of
all
which
he
was
a
most
dear
lover
,
and
a
most
excellent
Judge
.
12.
He
returned
out
of
Italy
into
England
about
the
30th
year
of
his
Age
,
being
then
noted
by
many
,
both
for
his
person
and
comportment
.
For
indeed
he
was
of
a
choice
shape
,
tall
of
stature
,
and
of
a
most
pleasant
behaviour
:
which
was
so
mixed
with
sweet
discourse
and
civilities
,
as
gained
him
much
love
from
all
persons
with
whom
he
entred
into
an
acquaintance
.
And
whereas
he
was
noted
in
his
youth
to
have
a
sharp
wit
and
apt
to
jest
;
That
,
by
time
,
travel
and
conversation
,
was
so
polished
and
made
useful
,
that
his
companie
seemed
to
be
one
of
the
delights
of
mankind
.
In
so
much
as
Robert
Earl
of
Essex
(
then
one
of
the
darlings
of
fortune
)
invited
him
first
into
a
friendship
,
and
after
a
knowledge
of
his
great
Abilities
,
to
be
one
of
his
Secretaries
.
After
the
Earls
Apprehension
,
he
passed
into
France
and
thence
into
Ita●y
.
After
some
stay
in
France
,
(
where
he
met
with
his
old
friend
Vietta
,
then
Secretary
to
the
great
Duke
)
he
went
the
fourth
time
to
visit
Rome
,
and
injoyed
the
company
of
his
friends
(
notwithstanding
his
Religion
)
in
the
English
Colledge
,
and
satisfied
himself
concerning
some
curiosities
.
11.
After
his
return
to
Florence
,
the
Duke
having
intercepted
certain
Letters
that
discove●ed
a
design
to
take
away
the
life
of
the
then
King
of
Scots
,
sent
Sir
Henrie
to
impart
it
to
the
King
,
under
the
name
of
Octovio
Paldi
an
Italian
.
Having
deliverd
his
Letters
and
Message
,
and
privately
told
the
King
that
he
was
indeed
in
Erglish-man
,
he
abode
there
three
months
with
much
pleasure
to
his
Majestie
,
and
so
returned
to
Florence
with
a
fair
account
of
his
imployment
.
Queen
Elizabeth
,
some
few
months
after
departed
,
and
King
James
was
proclaimed
.
When
he
was
come
into
England
,
he
commanded
the
Lord
Wotton
to
fend
for
his
Brother
Henrie
.
Being
brought
to
the
King
,
he
took
him
in
his
arms
and
bade
him
●elcome
by
the
name
of
Octovio
Baldi
,
saying
,
He
was
the
most
honest
,
and
therefore
the
best
dissembler
that
ever
he
met
with
;
adding
,
Since
I
know
you
neither
want
learning
,
travel
nor
experience
,
and
that
I
have
had
so
real
a
testimonie
of
your
faithfulness
and
abilities
to
manage
an
Embassage
,
I
shall
make
use
of
you
in
that
kind
hereafter
.
And
indeed
the
King
did
so
,
mo●t
of
those
22
years
of
his
raign
:
but
before
he
dismist
Octavio
Baldi
from
his
present
attendance
upon
him
,
he
resto
ed
him
to
his
old
name
of
Henrie
Wotton
,
by
which
he
then
Knighted
him
.
12.
Not
long
after
this
,
the
King
having
resolved
,
according
to
his
Motto
,
Beati
pacifici
,
to
have
●
friendship
with
his
neighbour
Kingdoms
of
France
and
Spain
;
and
also
for
divers
weighty
reasons
to
enter
into
an
alliance
with
the
State
of
Ven●ce
;
●nd
to
that
end
to
send
Ambassadors
to
these
several
places
;
did
propose
the
choice
of
these
employments
to
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
.
Who
considering
the
smalnesse
of
his
own
estate
(
which
he
never
took
care
to
augment
)
and
knowing
the
Courts
of
great
Princes
to
be
sumptuous
and
necessarily
expensive
,
inclined
most
to
that
of
Venice
,
as
being
a
place
of
more
retirement
and
best
suiting
with
his
Genius
,
who
did
ever
love
to
joyn
with
bus●nesse
stud●e
and
a
tryal
of
natural
experience
;
fo●
which
,
fruitful
Italy
,
that
darling
of
nature
,
and
cherisher
of
all
arts
,
is
so
justly
famed
in
all
parts
of
the
Christian
World
.
Having
therefore
resolved
upon
Venice
,
and
a
large
allowan●e
being
appointed
by
the
King
for
his
voyage
thither
,
and
a
settled
maintenance
during
his
stay
there
,
he
left
England
,
nobly
accompanied
through
France
to
Venice
by
●entlemen
of
the
best
Families
and
Breeding
that
this
Nation
afforded
.
Sir
Albertus
Morton
his
Nephew
went
his
Secretarie
,
and
William
Bedel
,
a
man
of
choice
learning
and
sanctified
wisdom
,
his
Chaplain
.
13.
An.
1605.
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
was
received
by
the
State
of
Venice
with
much
honour
and
gladnesse
,
both
for
that
he
delivered
his
Embassage
most
elegantly
in
the
Italian
Language
,
and
came
also
in
such
a
juncture
of
time
,
as
his
Masters
friendship
seemed
useful
for
that
Republick
.
In
the
contention
with
the
Pope
(
which
lasted
several
years
)
the
Venetians
still
acquainted
K.
James
with
their
proceedings
,
by
the
help
of
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
,
Mr
Bedel
,
and
Padre
Paulo
,
whom
the
Venetians
did
then
call
to
be
one
of
their
Consultors
of
State
,
and
with
his
pen
to
defend
their
cause
.
Which
was
by
him
so
performed
,
that
the
Pope
saw
plainly
,
he
had
weakned
his
power
by
exceeding
it
,
and
offered
the
Venetians
Absolution
upon
very
easie
terms
;
which
the
Venetians
still
slighting
,
did
at
last
obtain
by
that
which
was
scarce
so
much
as
a
shew
of
acknowledging
it
.
These
Contests
were
the
occasion
of
Padre
Paulo
his
knowledge
and
interest
with
K.
James
:
for
whose
sake
principally
Father
Paulo
compiled
that
eminent
Historie
of
the
Council
of
Trent
.
W●ich
History
was
,
as
fast
as
it
was
written
,
sent
in
several
sheets
in
Letters
by
Sir
H.
Wotton
,
Mr
Bedel
and
others
unto
K.
James
,
and
the
then
B.
of
Cant:
in
England
,
and
there
first
made
publick
both
in
●nglish
and
in
the
Universal
Language
.
14.
For
eight
years
after
Sir
Henrie
Wotton's
going
into
Italie
,
he
stood
fair
,
and
highly
valued
but
at
last
became
much
clouded
by
this
accident
Being
merry
with
his
friends
at
Augusta
(
men
of
.
the
best
note
for
learning
and
ingenuousness
,
the
Virtuosi
of
that
Nation
)
he
was
requested
by
Christopher
●lecamore
to
write
some
Sentence
in
his
Albo
(
a
book
of
white
paper
,
which
for
that
purpose
many
of
the
German
Gentry
usually
carry
about
them
)
and
consenting
to
the
motion
,
took
an
occasion
from
some
accidental
discourse
of
the
present
company
,
to
write
a
pleasant
definition
of
an
Embassador
in
these
very
words
:
Legatus
est
Vir
bonus
peregrè
missus
ad
mentiendum
Reipub.
causa
:
which
Sir
Henrie
could
have
been
content
should
have
been
thus
Englished
:
An
Ambassador
is
an
honest
man
sent
to
lie
abroad
for
the
good
of
his
Countrie
.
But
the
word
for
lie
(
being
the
hinge
upon
which
the
conceit
was
to
turn
)
was
not
so
expresse
in
Latin
as
would
admit
(
in
the
hands
of
an
enemy
especially
)
so
fair
a
construction
as
Sir
Henrie
thought
in
English
.
This
coming
to
the
knowledge
of
K.
James
by
the
malicious
pen
of
Caspar
Scioppius
,
much
offended
his
Majestie
:
and
this
caused
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
to
write
two
Apologies
,
one
in
Latin
to
Velserus
,
and
another
to
K.
James
:
which
were
so
ingenuous
,
so
clear
,
and
so
choicely
eloquent
,
that
his
Majestie
(
who
was
a
pure
Judge
of
it
)
could
not
so
bear
to
declare
publi●kly
,
That
Sir
H.
Wo●ton
had
commuted
sufficiently
for
a
greater
offence
.
And
now
,
as
broken
bones
well
set
become
stronger
;
so
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
did
not
only
recover
,
but
was
much
more
confirmed
in
his
Majesties
favour
.
15.
And
his
Interest
still
increased
with
the
Duke
Leonardo
Donato
:
after
whose
death
(
as
though
it
had
been
an
entaild
love
)
it
was
still
found
living
in
the
succeding
Dukes
,
during
all
the
time
of
his
employment
to
that
State
;
which
was
almost
20
years
.
All
which
time
he
studyed
the
Dispositions
of
those
Dukes
,
&
the
Consultors
of
State
▪
wel
knowing
,
that
he
who
negotiates
a
continual
business
and
neglects
the
studie
of
dispositions
,
usually
fails
in
his
proposed
ends
:
But
this
Sir
H.
Wotton
did
not
.
For
by
a
fine
sorting
of
fit
Presents
,
curious
and
not
costly
entertainments
,
alwaies
sweetned
by
various
and
pleasant
discourse
,
by
his
choice
application
of
stories
,
and
his
so
elegant
delivery
of
all
these
,
even
in
their
Italian
Language
,
he
first
got
,
and
still
preserved
such
interest
in
the
State
of
Venice
,
that
it
was
observed
(
such
was
either
his
merit
or
his
modestie
)
they
never
denyed
him
any
request
.
16.
When
he
had
attended
the
Emperour
and
German
Princes
eight
months
,
to
in
cline
them
to
equitable
conditions
for
the
Resto●ation
of
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
and
her
Descendants
to
their
Patrimonial
Inheritance
of
the
Palatinate
,
and
had
brought
the
businesse
to
a
probability
of
successe
;
but
after
a
victory
gotten
by
the
Imperial
Army
,
saw
the
face
of
peace
altered
;
at
his
departure
from
the
Emperour
,
he
was
so
bold
,
as
humbly
to
advise
him
to
use
his
Victorie
soberly
,
and
still
put
on
thoughts
of
peace
.
Which
advice
though
it
seemed
to
be
spoke
with
some
passion
,
yet
was
taken
in
good
part
by
the
Emperour
,
who
was
ever
much
pleased
with
his
cariage
,
all
the
time
that
he
resided
in
his
Court
;
and
said
,
That
though
the
King
his
Master
was
lookt
on
as
an
Abetter
of
his
enemie
the
Palsgrave
,
yet
he
took
him
to
be
a
Person
of
much
honour
and
merit
,
and
did
therefore
desire
him
to
accept
of
that
Jewel
,
as
a
testimonie
of
his
good
opinion
of
him
:
which
was
a
Jewel
of
Diamonds
of
more
value
than
a
thousand
pounds
.
This
was
received
with
all
circumstances
and
terms
of
honour
by
Sir
H.
Wotton
:
but
the
next
morning
at
his
departing
from
Vienna
,
at
his
taking
leave
of
the
Countess
of
Sa●vina
,
an
Italian
Lady
,
in
whose
house
the
●mperour
had
appointed
him
to
be
lodged
and
honourably
entertained
;
He
acknowledged
her
merits
,
and
besought
her
to
accept
of
that
Jewel
,
as
a
testimonie
of
his
gratitude
:
presenting
her
with
the
same
that
was
given
him
by
the
Emperour
.
Which
being
suddenly
discovered
by
the
Emperour
,
was
by
him
taken
for
a
high
affront
,
and
Sir
H.
Wotton
told
so
.
To
which
(
in
the
nobleness
of
his
mind
)
he
repli'd
:
That
though
he
received
it
with
thankfulness
,
yet
he
found
in
himself
an
indisposition
to
be
the
better
for
any
gift
that
came
from
an
Enemie
to
his
Royal
Mistresse
:
for
so
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
was
pleas'd
he
should
call
her
.
17.
Many
other
of
his
Services
to
his
Prince
and
this
Nation
might
be
insisted
on
,
as
his
procuration
of
Privileges
and
courtesies
with
the
German
Princes
and
the
Republick
of
Venice
for
the
English
Merchants
,
his
releasing
and
relieving
many
hundred
captivated
English
soldiers
,
and
sending
them
back
in
a
comfortable
condition
to
thank
God
for
their
lives
and
libertie
,
in
their
own
Nation
:
but
I
must
hast
to
bring
Sir
H.
Wotton
in
an
instant
from
Venice
to
London
,
whither
he
returned
that
year
in
which
K.
James
dyed
.
18.
The
King
had
,
for
the
reward
of
his
forrein
service
,
promised
him
the
reversion
of
an
Office
,
which
was
fit
to
be
turned
into
present
money
,
and
also
granted
him
the
Reversion
of
the
Master
of
the
Rolls
place
,
if
he
outlived
charitable
Sir
Julius
Caesar
,
who
then
possessed
it
,
and
then
grown
so
old
that
he
was
said
to
be
kept
alive
,
beyond
natures
course
,
by
the
prayers
of
those
many
poor
which
he
dayly
relieved
.
Mean
while
,
his
condition
requir'd
present
support
.
For
in
the
beginning
of
these
imployments
he
sold
to
his
elder
brother
the
Lord
Wotton
the
Rent-charge
left
by
his
good
Father
,
and
(
which
is
worse
)
was
now
at
his
return
indebted
to
several
persons
,
whom
he
was
not
able
to
satisfie
,
but
by
the
Kings
payment
of
his
Arrears
:
He
had
brought
into
England
many
servants
;
of
whom
some
were
German
and
Italian
Artists
.
This
was
part
of
his
condition
,
who
had
many
times
hardly
sufficient
to
supply
the
occasions
of
the
day
.
(
For
it
may
by
no
means
be
said
of
his
providence
,
as
himself
said
of
Sir
Philip
Sidney's
wit
,
That
it
was
the
very
measure
of
congruitie
.
)
he
being
alwaies
so
careless
of
mony
,
as
though
our
Saviours
words
,
Care
not
for
to
morrow
,
were
to
be
literally
understood
.
19.
But
it
pleased
God
,
that
in
this
juncture
of
time
,
the
Provostship
of
his
Majesties
College
of
Eaton
became
void
by
the
death
of
Murray
,
for
which
there
were
(
as
the
place
deserv'd
)
many
earnest
and
powerful
Suitors
to
the
King
.
Sir
Henrie
,
who
had
for
many
years
rolled
the
restlesse
stone
of
a
State
employment
,
and
knowing
experimentally
,
that
the
great
blessing
of
sweet
content
was
not
to
be
found
in
multitudes
of
men
or
businesse
,
and
that
a
College
was
the
fittest
place
to
nourish
holy
thoughts
,
and
to
afford
rest
both
to
his
body
and
mind
,
which
his
Age
(
being
now
almost
threescore
years
)
seemed
to
require
;
did
therefore
use
his
own
and
the
interest
of
all
his
Friends
to
procure
it
.
By
which
means
,
and
quitting
the
King
of
his
promised
reversionary
Offices
(
and
by
a
piece
of
honest
policy
)
he
got
a
grant
of
it
from
his
Majestie
.
20.
And
this
was
a
fair
settlement
to
his
mind
:
but
money
was
wanting
to
furnish
him
with
those
necessaries
which
attend
removes
and
a
settlement
in
such
a
place
.
To
procure
that
,
he
wrote
to
his
old
friend
Mr
Nicholas
Pey
(
in
whom
was
a
radicated
honestie
and
true
gratitude
to
the
Family
,
having
been
preferd
at
Co●rt
by
the
Lord
Wotton
)
to
use
all
his
interest
to
procure
five
hundred
pounds
of
his
Arrears
;
for
lesse
would
not
settle
him
at
the
College
,
and
the
want
of
it
wrinkled
his
face
with
cares
(
't
was
his
own
expression
)
and
that
being
procur'd
he
should
the
next
day
after
find
him
in
his
College
,
and
Invidiae
remedium
writ
over
his
study
door
.
21.
This
mony
being
procured
,
and
he
being
settled
according
to
the
desires
of
his
heart
(
the
College
being
to
his
mind
as
a
quiet
harbour
to
a
Seafaring
man
after
a
tempestious
voyage
)
his
first
study
was
the
Statutes
of
the
College
:
by
which
he
conceiv'd
himself
bound
to
enter
into
Holy
Orders
,
which
he
did
,
being
made
Deacon
with
convenient
speed
.
Shortly
after
,
as
he
came
in
his
Surplice
from
the
Church-service
,
an
old
friend
,
a
person
of
quality
,
met
him
so
attired
,
and
joyed
him
:
to
whom
Sir
H.
Wotton
replyed
,
I
thank
God
and
the
King
,
by
whose
goodnesse
I
now
●m
in
this
condition
,
a
condition
which
the
Emperour
Charles
the
fifth
seemed
to
approve
,
&c.
I
dayly
magnifie
my
God
for
this
particular
mercie
of
an
exemption
from
businesse
,
a
quiet
mind
and
a
liberal
maintenance
,
even
in
this
part
of
my
life
,
when
my
Age
and
infirmities
seem
to
sound
me
a
retreat
from
the
pleasures
of
this
world
,
and
invite
me
to
contemplation
;
in
which
I
have
ever
taken
the
greatest
felicitie
.
21.
After
his
customary
publick
Devotions
,
his
use
was
to
retire
into
his
Study
,
and
there
to
spend
some
hours
in
reading
the
Bible
and
Autho●s
in
Divinity
,
closing
up
his
Meditations
with
private
prayer
.
This
was
,
for
the
most
part
,
his
employment
in
the
forenoon
.
But
,
when
he
was
once
sate
at
Dinner
,
then
nothing
but
cheerful
thoughts
possess'd
his
mind
,
and
those
still
encreased
by
constant
companie
at
his
Table
such
persons
as
brought
thither
additions
both
of
learning
and
pleasure
.
But
some
part
of
most
daies
was
usually
spent
in
Philosophical
conclusions
.
Nor
did
he
forget
his
innate
pleasure
of
Angling
;
which
he
did
usually
call
,
his
idle
time
,
not
idly
spent
:
saying
,
He
would
rather
live
five
May-months
,
than
fortie
Decembers
.
He
was
a
great
lover
of
his
neighbors
,
and
a
bountiful
entertainer
of
them
very
often
at
his
Table
:
where
his
meat
was
choice
,
and
his
discourse
better
.
22.
He
was
a
constant
cherisher
of
all
those
Youths
in
that
School
,
in
whom
he
found
etiher
a
constant
diligence
,
or
a
genius
that
prompted
them
to
learning
.
For
whose
encouragement
he
was
(
beside
many
other
things
of
necessity
and
bounty
)
at
the
charge
of
setting
up
in
it
two
rows
of
Pillars
,
on
which
he
caused
to
be
drawn
the
pictures
of
divers
of
the
most
famous
Greek
and
Latin
Historians
,
Poets
and
Orators
;
persivading
them
not
to
neglect
Rhetorick
,
Because
Almightie
God
has
left
mankind
Affections
to
be
wrought
upon
.
And
he
would
often
say
,
That
none
despised
Eloquence
,
but
such
dull
Souls
as
were
not
capable
of
it
.
He
would
also
often
make
choice
of
Observations
out
of
those
Historians
and
Poets
▪
but
he
would
never
leave
the
School
without
dropping
some
choice
Greek
or
Latin
Apothegm
or
Sentence
,
such
as
were
worthy
of
a
room
in
the
memory
of
a
growing
Scholar
.
He
was
pleased
constantly
to
breed
up
one
or
more
hopely
Youths
,
which
he
picked
out
of
the
School
,
and
took
into
his
own
domestick
care
,
and
to
attend
him
at
his
meals
:
Out
of
whose
behaviour
and
discourse
,
he
gathered
observations
for
the
better
compleating
of
his
intended
work
of
Education
:
of
which
,
by
his
still
striving
to
make
the
whole
better
,
he
lived
to
leave
but
part
of
posterity
.
23.
He
was
a
great
enemy
to
wrangling
Disputes
of
Religion
.
Having
in
Rome
made
acquaintance
with
a
pleasant
Priest
,
who
invited
him
one
evening
to
hear
their
Vesper
musick
at
Church
;
the
Priest
seeing
Sir
Henrie
stand
obscurely
in
a
corner
,
sends
to
him
by
a
boy
of
the
Quire
this
question
writ
in
a
small
piece
of
paper
,
Where
was
your
Religion
to
be
found
before
Luther
?
To
which
question
Sir
Henrie
presently
underwrit
,
My
religion
was
to
be
found
then
where
yours
is
not
to
be
found
now
:
in
the
written
word
of
God
.
To
another
that
asked
him
,
Whether
a
Papist
may
be
saved
,
he
replyed
,
You
may
be
saved
without
knowing
that
:
look
to
your self
.
To
another
,
whose
earnestnesse
exceeded
his
knowledge
,
and
was
still
railing
against
the
Papists
,
he
gave
this
advice
;
Pray
Sir
forbear
,
till
you
have
studied
the
points
better
:
for
the
wise
Italians
have
this
Proverb
,
He
that
understands
amisse
,
concludes
worse
.
And
take
heed
of
thinking
,
the
farther
you
go
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
the
nearer
you
are
to
God
.
24.
And
to
another
that
spake
indiscreet
and
bitter
words
against
Arminius
,
I
heard
him
reply
to
this
purpose
:
In
my
travels
,
I
rested
almost
a
year
at
Leyden
,
where
I
entred
into
an
acquaintance
with
Arminius
,
then
Professor
of
Divinitie
in
that
Vniversitie
,
a
man
much
talkt
off
in
this
Age
,
which
is
made
up
of
opposition
and
contrariety
.
And
indeed
,
if
I
mistake
not
Arminius
in
bis
expressions
(
as
so
weak
a
brain
as
mine
is
may
easily
do
)
then
I
know
and
differ
from
him
in
some
points
:
Yet
,
I
professe
my
judgment
of
him
to
be
,
that
he
was
a
man
of
most
rare
learning
;
and
I
know
him
to
be
of
a
most
strict
life
,
and
of
a
most
meek
spirit
.
—
And
doubtlesse
many
middle
witted
men
(
which
yet
may
mean
well
:
)
many
Scholars
that
are
not
in
the
highest
Form
for
learning
(
which
yet
may
preach
well
:
)
do
justly
fall
under
the
reproof
of
S.
Jude
,
for
being
busie-bodies
,
and
for
medling
with
things
they
understand
not
.
25.
This
is
some
Account
both
of
his
Inclination
and
the
Imployment
of
his
time
in
the
College
:
where
he
seemed
to
have
his
Youth
renewed
by
a
continual
conversation
with
that
learned
Societie
,
and
a
dayly
recourse
of
other
friends
of
choicest
breeding
and
parts
:
by
which
that
great
blessing
of
a
cheerful
heart
was
still
maintained
,
he
being
alwaies
free
,
even
to
the
last
of
his
daies
,
from
that
peevishnesse
which
usually
attends
age
.
Yet
his
mirth
was
sometimes
dampt
by
the
remembrance
of
divers
old
debts
:
and
finding
some
decaies
of
health
,
he
did
,
about
two
years
before
his
death
,
that
none
should
be
a
looser
by
it
,
make
his
last
Will
.
Concerning
which
a
doubt
still
remains
,
whether
it
discovered
more
holy
wit
or
conscionable
policie
:
but
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
that
his
chief
design
was
a
Christian
endeavour
,
that
his
debts
might
be
satisfied
,
(
as
appeareth
by
this
part
of
it
.
)
To
my
Lords
Grace
of
Cant:
now
being
,
I
leave
my
picture
of
divine
love
,
rarely
copied
from
one
in
the
Kings
Galleries
of
my
presentation
to
his
Majestie
:
beseeching
him
to
recieve
it
as
a
pledge
of
my
humble
reverence
to
his
great
wisdom
.
And
to
the
most
worthy
L.
B.
of
London
,
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
England
,
in
true
admiration
of
his
Christian
simplicitie
and
contempt
of
earthly
pomp
,
I
leave
a
Picture
of
Heraclitus
bewailing
,
and
Democritus
laughing
at
the
world
:
most
humbly
beseeching
the
said
Lo.
Archb.
his
Grace
,
and
the
Lo.
B.
of
London
,
of
both
whose
favours
I
have
rasted
in
my
life
time
,
to
intercede
with
our
most
Gracious
Soveraign
after
my
death
,
in
the
bowels
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
out
of
compassionate
memory
of
my
long
services
(
wherein
I
more
studyed
the
publick
Honour
than
mine
own
Utility
)
some
order
may
be
taken
out
of
my
Arrears
due
in
the
Exchequer
for
satisfection
of
my
Creditors
,
&c.
Accordingly
,
conscionable
satisfaction
was
given
for
his
just
debts
.
26.
He
went
usually
once
a
year
,
if
not
oftner
,
to
the
beloved
Bocton-hall
:
where
,
he
would
say
,
he
found
both
cure
for
all
cares
by
the
company
(
which
he
called
the
living
furniture
)
of
that
place
,
and
a
restorative
of
his
health
by
the
connaturalnesse
of
that
which
he
called
his
genial
air
.
He
yearly
went
also
to
Oxford
:
but
the
Summer
before
his
death
he
changed
that
for
a
jorney
to
W●nchester
College
.
And
as
he
returned
said
to
his
companion
:
How
useful
was
that
advice
of
a
holy
Monk
,
who
perswaded
his
friend
to
perform
his
customarie
devotions
in
a
constant
place
:
because
in
that
place
,
we
usually
meet
with
those
thoughts
which
possessed
us
at
our
last
being
there
.
And
I
find
it
thus
far
experimentally
true
,
that
at
my
now
being
at
that
School
,
seeing
that
verie
place
where
I
sate
when
I
was
a
boy
,
occasioned
me
to
remember
those
thoughts
of
my
Youth
which
then
possessed
me
,
&c.
27.
After
his
return
from
Winchester
,
he
fell
into
a
dangerous
fever
which
weakned
him
much
:
●e
was
then
also
much
troubled
with
a
continual
short
spitting
;
but
that
infirmity
he
seemed
to
overcome
in
a
good
degree
by
leaving
Tobacco
,
which
he
had
taken
somewhat
immoderately
.
And
about
two
months
before
his
death
(
Oct.
1639.
)
he
again
fell
into
a
fever
,
which
though
●e
seemed
to
recover
,
yet
these
still
left
him
so
weak
,
that
those
common
infirmities
(
which
were
wont
like
civil
friends
to
visit
him
,
and
after
some
short
time
to
depart
)
came
both
oftner
,
and
at
last
took
up
their
constant
habitations
with
him
,
still
weakning
his
body
.
In
the
beginning
of
a
December
following
he
fell
again
into
a
Quartane
fever
;
and
in
the
tenth
fit
,
his
better
part
,
that
part
of
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
which
could
not
dy
,
put
off
mortality
,
with
as
much
content
and
cheerfulnesse
,
as
humane
frailty
is
capable
of
,
being
in
perfect
peace
with
God
and
man
.

entire
friends
.
But
in
Spain
Mr
Wadsworth
met
with
temptations
or
reasons
,
such
as
were
so
powerful
as
to
perswade
him
(
who
of
the
three
was
formerly
observed
to
be
the
most
averse
to
that
Religion
that
calls
it self
Catholick
)
to
disdain
himself
a
Member
of
the
Church
of
England
,
and
declare
himself
for
the
Church
of
Rome
,
discharging
himself
of
his
Attendance
on
the
Embassador
,
and
betaking
himself
to
a
Monasterial
life
;
in
which
he
lived
very
regularly
,
and
so
dyed
.
3.
When
Mr
Hall
came
into
England
,
he
wrote
to
Mr
Wadsworth
(
t
is
the
first
Epistle
in
his
Decads
)
to
perswade
his
return
,
or
the
reason
of
his
Apostacie
.
The
Letter
seemed
to
have
many
expressions
of
love
,
and
yet
there
was
something
in
it
that
was
so
unpleasant
to
Mr
Wadsworth
,
that
he
chose
rather
to
acquaint
his
old
friend
Mr
Bedel
with
his
Motives
.
4.
By
which
means
there
past
between
Mr
Bedel
and
Mr
Wadsworth
very
many
Letters
,
which
be
extant
in
print
,
and
did
well
deserve
it
:
for
in
them
there
seems
to
be
a
controversie
,
not
of
Religion
only
,
but
,
who
should
answer
each
other
with
most
love
and
meeknesse
.
Which
I
mention
the
rather
,
because
it
seldome
falls
out
so
in
a
Book-war
.
5.
Mr
Hall
in
an
Epistle
to
Mr
Bedel
at
Venice
,
having
lamented
the
death
of
our
late
Divines
,
addeth
:
What
should
this
work
in
us
,
but
an
imitation
,
yea
(
that
word
is
not
too
big
for
you
)
an
emulation
of
their
worthinesse
?
The
Church
,
our
Mother
,
looks
for
much
at
your
hands
:
She
knows
how
rich
our
common
Father
hath
left
you
:
She
notes
your
graces
,
your
oportunities
,
your
imployments
:
She
thinks
you
are
gone
so
far
,
like
a
good
Merchant
,
for
no
small
gain
,
and
looks
you
shall
come
home
well
laded
.
Let
me
perswade
you
to
gratifie
us
at
home
with
the
publication
of
that
your
exquisite
Polemical
Discourse
,
whereto
our
conference
with
Mr
Alablaster
gave
so
happy
an
occasion
.
You
shall
hereby
clear
many
truths
,
and
satisfie
all
Readers
:
yea
I
doubt
not
,
but
an
Adversarie
,
not
too
perverse
,
shall
acknowledge
the
truths
victory
and
Yours
.
6.
In
a
Letter
of
Sir
Henrie
Wotton's
to
the
King
,
is
mentioned
a
Petition
to
his
Majestie
from
persons
directed
hither
by
the
good
wishes
of
the
Arch-bishop
of
Armagh
,
to
make
Mr
Bedel
(
then
Resident
upon
a
small
Penefice
in
Suffolk
)
Governour
of
Dublin
College
for
the
good
of
that
Society
.
And
Sir
Henrie
himself
being
required
to
render
some
testimonie
of
Mr
Bedel
,
long
his
Chaplain
at
Venice
,
in
the
time
of
his
first
employment
there
,
goeth
on
thus
:
I
am
bound
in
all
conscience
of
truth
(
so
far
as
your
Majestie
will
vouchsafe
to
accept
my
p●ot
Judgment
)
to
affirm
of
him
,
that
I
think
hardly
a
fitter
man
for
that
charge
,
could
have
been
propounded
unto
your
Majestie
in
your
whole
Kingdom
,
for
singular
erudition
and
pietie
,
conformitie
to
the
Rites
of
the
Church
,
and
zeal
to
advance
the
Cause
of
God
:
wherein
his
Travels
abroad
were
not
obscure
,
in
the
time
of
the
excommunication
of
the
Venetians
.
7.
Then
he
certifies
the
King
:
This
is
the
Man
whom
Padre
Paulo
took
,
I
may
say
,
into
his
very
soul
;
with
whom
he
did
communicate
the
inwardest
thoughts
of
his
heart
;
from
whom
he
professed
to
have
received
more
knowledge
in
all
Divinitie
,
both
Scholastical
and
Positive
,
than
from
any
that
he
had
ever
practised
in
his
daies
.
Of
which
all
the
passages
were
well
known
to
the
King
your
Father
of
most
blessed
Memory
.
8.
And
so
he
concludes
in
these
words
:
With
your
Majesties
good
favour
I
end
this
needlesse
office
:
for
the
general
fame
of
his
learning
,
his
life
,
and
Christian
temper
,
and
those
religious
labours
which
himself
hath
Dedicated
to
your
Majestie
,
do
better
describe
him
then
I
am
able
.
9.
Mr
Bedel
was
(
to
the
great
joy
of
Sir
Henrie
Wotton
)
made
Governor
of
the
said
Colledg
:
and
,
after
a
fair
discharge
of
his
duty
and
trust
there
,
he
was
thence
removed
to
be
Bishop
of
Kilmore
.
In
both
which
places
,
his
life
was
so
holy
,
as
seemed
to
equal
the
primitive
Christians
:
for
,
as
they
,
so
he
kept
all
the
Ember-weeks
,
observed
(
besides
his
private
devotions
)
the
Canonical
hours
of
prayer
very
strictly
;
and
so
he
did
all
the
Feasts
and
Fast-daies
of
his
Mother
the
Church
of
England
:
his
patience
and
charitie
were
both
such
,
as
shewed
his
affections
were
set
upon
things
above
.
10
:
Indeed
his
whole
life
brought
forth
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
there
being
in
him
such
a
remarkablenesse
,
that
he
had
a
good
report
of
those
th●●●●re
withou●
.
Those
that
in
point
of
Religion
were
of
the
Roman
perswasion
(
of
which
there
were
many
in
his
Diocese
)
did
yet
ever
look
upon
him
with
respect
and
reverence
;
and
testified
it
by
a
concealing
and
safe
protecting
him
,
in
the
late
horrid
Rebellion
in
Ireland
:
when
the
furie
of
the
wild
Irish
knew
no
distinction
of
persons
,
yet
there
and
then
was
he
protected
and
cherished
by
those
of
a
contrarie
perswasion
;
and
there
and
then
he
dyed
,
though
not
by
violence
.
11.
With
him
were
lost
many
of
his
learned
Writings
,
which
were
worthy
of
preservation
:
and
,
among
the
rest
,
was
lost
the
Bible
,
which
,
by
many
years
labour
and
conference
and
study
,
he
had
translated
into
the
Irish
Tongue
,
with
an
intent
to
have
printed
it
for
publick
use
.

ABout
the
year
1618.
there
came
over
into
England
that
very
learned
,
tho●gh
unfortunate
man
,
Marcus
Antonius
de
Dominis
,
Arch-bishop
of
Spalato
,
Primate
of
Dalmatia
,
&c.
Which
,
(
as
he
was
wont
to
glory
,
)
was
St
Hieroms
Native
Country
,
as
well
as
his
.
2.
This
great
Scholar
,
(
after
he
had
so
profoundly
asserted
the
truth
of
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
professed
and
practised
in
the
Church
of
England
,
in
so
many
particulars
against
the
errors
and
Corruptions
of
the
See
of
Rome
,
in
his
Learned
and
laborious
books
,
De
Republica
Ecclesiastica
;
and
had
also
from
the
Kings
bounty
received
so
great
incouragements
for
his
honorable
supports
,
as
the
Deanry
of
Windsour
and
Mastership
of
the
Sa●oy
,
besides
many
rich
and
yearly
presents
,
not
only
from
the
Bishops
and
Clergy
,
but
also
from
the
Nobilitie
and
Gentrie
.
)
Was
so
far
wrought
upon
by
that
Polititian
Cou●t
Gondamar
,
the
Spanish
Embassador
then
in
England
,
and
other
instruments
of
the
See
of
Rome
,
(
that
sought
his
ruin
under
some
specious
pretences
,
)
as
to
take
up
a
resolution
of
returning
to
Rome
;
and
could
not
be
disswaded
from
it
by
his
true
friends
;
that
really
endeavoured
hi●
security
.
Among
whom
Bishop
Morton
was
neither
the
least
nor
last
,
who
very
earnestly
advised
him
,
both
by
word
and
writing
,
not
to
venture
himself
upon
such
a
hopelesse
and
hassardous
journy
.
3.
The
Arch-bishops
pretence
was
very
plausible
and
commen●able
(
and
how
real
he
was
in
it
,
must
be
left
to
God
,
)
namely
,
to
negotiate
an
unitie
in
Religion
between
the
Church
of
Rome
and
the
Church
of
England
,
upon
those
moderate
grounds
which
he
had
laid
down
,
and
so
well
defended
in
his
learned
and
laborious
Works
printed
here
at
London
.
He
app●uded
himself
in
the
excellency
of
the
work
,
in
removing
the
Schism
;
and
of
the
honour
in
becoming
a
Repairer
of
the
breach
,
and
of
the
reward
which
is
promised
to
the
peace
makers
.
And
he
thought
himself
the
more
likely
to
go
through
with
his
work
,
by
reason
of
the
seasonable
opportuaitie
he
had
at
that
time
,
when
Gregorie
the
fifteenth
was
newly
chosen
Pope
who
had
been
of
his
old
and
intimate
acquaintance
,
brought
up
in
the
same
School
and
College
with
him
.
And
however
,
he
was
resolved
to
make
an
attempt
;
because
if
he
failed
in
it
,
he
hoped
he
should
lose
nothing
but
his
labour
;
for
as
for
his
Indemnitie
,
Count
Gondamar
had
promised
him
the
securitie
of
the
King
of
Spain
his
Master
.
But
how
well
that
promise
was
perform'd
,
will
appear
by
the
Sequel
.
4.
While
he
was
swelled
up
full
with
this
promise
and
these
hopes
,
Dr
Morton
the
Bishop
of
Lichfield
and
Co●●ntrie
coming
to
visit
him
,
had
this
ensuing
discourse
with
him
,
(
among
many
others
)
which
I
have
often
heard
him
repeat
with
pleasure
,
and
shall
therefore
insert
it
;
and
the
rather
,
because
it
shews
us
of
how
little
authority
the
Council
of
Trent
would
be
,
if
it
were
not
fo●
the
terrour
of
the
inquisition
.

5.
This
discourse
(
●nd
many
other
)
having
passed
between
them
,
they
parted
friendly
.
And
not
long
after
did
this
Bishop
reinforce
his
arguments
,
with
an
addition
of
many
more
,
in
a
long
and
learned
Epistle
to
him
.
Wherein
,
(
among
other
Motives
to
diss●ade
him
from
his
●ourny
)
he
used
one
,
wherein
he
shewed
himself
a
true
Prophet
,
concerning
the
entertainment
he
was
like
to
have
at
Rome
.
Which
proved
to
be
,
that
before
he
g●t
to
Rome
Pope
Gregorie
the
fifteenth
his
old
friend
,
was
dead
,
and
a
successor
chosen
in
his
pl●ce
;
by
whom
this
Arch-bishop
was
imprisoned
in
Castro
St
Angelo
.
Where
he
died
,
not
without
strong
suspition
of
murder
or
poyson
:
And
his
body
was
afterward
burnt
,
(
as
of
an
Heretick
,
)
in
Campo
Flori.
6.
I
could
here
start
a
problematical
question
concerning
this
learned
Arch
bishop
.
Whether
or
no
did
he
ever
retract
his
works
,
which
he
pulished
in
print
?
If
he
did
,
why
did
they
at
Rome
bu●n
his
body
for
Heresie
?
If
not
,
then
they
abused
him
in
his
life
time
,
as
well
as
after
his
de●th
,
in
the
manifesto
whi●h
they
put
forth
in
his
n●me
,
which
w●s
so
learnedly
answered
by
Dr
Crakanthrop
.
There
is
but
one
way
of
avoiding
this
Di●emma
,
(
and
that
will
bring
them
into
a
greate●
strait
than
either
of
the
other
,
)
namely
,
That
they
burnt
him
after
his
death
for
what
he
retracted
in
his
life
time
;
and
if
they
own
this
,
they
must
withal
proclaim
their
unjustice
and
cruelty
to
the
world
.
Let
them
take
it
in
which
sense
they
will
,
his
reasons
and
arguments
laid
down
and
urged
in
his
learned
works
will
more
condemn
their
cause
than
the
altering
of
his
opinion
,
(
supposing
but
not
granting
that
he
ever
altered
it
,
)
can
tend
to
their
advantage
.
●is
many
clear
and
convincing
Authorities
,
from
the
holy
●criptures
,
Councels
,
argumentative
to
any
indifferent
person
that
is
not
wilfully
prepossest
;
then
his
own
dubious
perhaps
imposed
)
authority
can
countervail
.
7.
His
Manifesto
,
(
if
it
was
his
)
consisteth
only
in
affirming
or
denying
in
bare
words
:
in
his
Works
,
whatsoever
i●
affirmed
or
denyed
,
is
back●
with
such
convincing
and
irrefragable
arguments
,
as
no
man
hath
taken
the
boldnesse
in
above
fortie
years
since
they
were
written
,
to
undertake
the
answering
of
them
.

THe
excellent
Mr
Wheelock
was
descended
of
honest
plain
Parents
in
the
Country
:
by
whose
pious
care
he
was
bred
up
at
School
,
till
he
was
s●fficiently
furnished
with
good
learning
and
ripe
years
to
salute
the
Universitie
.
At
which
time
he
was
sent
to
Kings
College
in
Cambridge
:
where
he
was
so
sedulous
and
studious
,
especially
in
the
Oriental
Languages
,
Hebrew
,
Arabick
,
Persi●n
,
&c.
that
he
did
not
sooner
obtain
Degrees
than
Fame
,
both
in
the
University
and
a●
broad
.
2.
After
he
had
some
years
enjoyed
the
Degree
of
Master
of
Arts
in
the
Unniversity
,
Sir
Henrie
Spelman
,
that
rare
Antiquary
and
lover
of
his
Country
,
did
allow
to
him
an
Annual
stipend
of
thirtie
pounds
,
to
explain
the
Saxon
Tongue
publickly
in
the
Schools
:
and
the
Noble
Sir
Thomas
Adams
Alderman
of
London
did
,
as
long
as
Mr
Wheelock
lived
,
constantly
confer
u●on
him
fortie
pounds
per
annum
for
the
mainte●●nce
of
an
Arabick
Lecture
,
which
Mr
Wheelock
likewise
read
publickly
.
And
this
they
did
,
not
only
o●t
of
th●t
respect
,
which
they
owed
to
the
Vniversitie
,
but
out
of
the
g●eat
esteem
they
had
of
Mr
Wheelock's
wo●th
●n●
merits
:
fo●
,
being
assured
of
his
great
Abilities
,
they
thought
i●
not
meet
that
so
clear
a
l●ght
should
be
hid
,
but
shine
forth
for
the
common
benefit
.
3.
After
this
,
in
the
year
1644
,
he
set
forth
Venerable
Bede's
Historie
in
Saxon
and
Latin
,
with
the
addition
of
his
own
learned
Notes
.
4.
The
ne●t
thing
he
attempted
was
to
transl●te
the
Persian
Evangelists
into
Latin
:
which
he
performed
,
and
beg●n
to
print
some
few
ch●●ters
in
Persian
and
Latin
at
London
;
whither
●e
was
called
to
be
an
helper
in
that
great
wo●k
of
the
Biblia
Polyglotta
set
out
by
that
famous
Pillar
of
learning
and
religion
Dr
Brian
Walton
,
●te
L.
Bishop
of
Chester
.
But
Mr
Wheelock
lived
only
so
long
as
to
see
a
Specimen
of
the
no●-●entioned
Biblia
,
and
not
any
entire
part
of
it
published
.

Here
I
must
not
omit
,
that
,
notwithstanding
the
eminenc●e
of
his
learning
,
and
the
great
esteem
he
had
among
persons
of
excellent
worth
,
he
was
of
such
an
humble
deportment
,
even
to
the
meanest
of
those
that
addressed
themselves
unto
him
,
that
I
think
,
without
prejudice
to
any
other
,
in
this
particular
he
was
the
Phaenix
of
his
age
.

He
dyed
at
London
,
being
about
60
years
of
age
,
and
lyeth
buried
in
St
Botolphs
Church
near
Aldersgate
