 PREFACE. 
 
 WHE N t confided with my /elf, what 
 a daily Cone ou r fe of People of all Sorts 
 and Ranks there is to the Church of 
 St. Peter, Weftminfter, to take a View of an 
 Edifice, which for its Endowments, Antiquity > 
 Immunities; but above all , for thefe many Ages 
 lafi pafi, being the Place of Inaugurations and Coro- 
 nations of our Sovereigns, And of the Burials and 
 Sepulchres of many of them, and the chief Nobi- 
 lity, as well as other Perfons of Note: When I 
 obferved, I fay, the great Numbers of Natives and 
 Foreigners that flock thither to be fatisfied in the 
 Sight of thefe Ancient, as well as Modern Re* 
 pofitories of the Bodies of fo many great and 
 illustrious Perfonages, and the eagtr Define mo(i 
 of them exprefs upon many Occafions, to he 
 more fully informed concerning their Antiqui- 
 ty, and fome other Circum(tances relating to the 
 letter under ft anding and improving the Knowledge of 
 curious Perfons ; I judged that a particular Account

The Preface. 
 
 quities relating to this Church, would prove no un* 
 acceptable f iece of Service to the Public, Jn rela- 
 tion more efpec tally of Tiro Sorts of People, viz. 
 Such as perhaps feldom or never have the Opportu- 
 nity of coming to London to take a View of this 
 Church ; and fuch Strangers alfo and Natives as 
 coming, perhaps, but once in all their Life-time to 
 this great City, and confequently can Jake only a 
 curfory View of what belongs to it, may %e forniflfd 
 with a further Conveniencj of Reviewing, not only 
 at a great Diftance what they have feen before, but 
 aljo of being more fully in(lru&ed in what they were 
 not well able to learn by Sight only y but even by the 
 bejl Enquiries they were able to make 9 whilfi they 
 were in this City. 
 
 It iv ill perhaps be objected, That fever al others 
 having undertaken this Task, viz. Mr % Camb- 
 den , Plr. Stowe, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Keepe, 
 Mr m "Sancl -ford, &c. I have entred upon a fuper- 
 fluom '. "Piece- of Work. But notwithjlanding it 
 mufr be 'cenfefid, That every one of thofe bef ore- 
 mentioned Authors have in their fever al* Stations 
 dene much towards the illuf rating of the Anti- 
 quities and Monuments of this Church ; yet upon 
 4 ftrict Examination, and making a due Compa- 
 rison 'of cur Defign with Theirs, it will be appa- 
 rent to all judicious and unbya^d Perfms, 7 hat as 
 there is a very confderdle Difference in the Method, 
 fo there is no lefs in the QoUcffion, Hijlorical Ac- 
 tennn, end Characters cf Terfons, ejpecially of a 
 modetn Date.

 Mr. CambdenV Treatife of the Funeral Monu- 
 ments of St. PeterV, Weftminfter, (if it he his) 
 tho very valuable in it fdf 9 yet it falls jhort in many 
 particular Things ,but more especially in Point of Time. 
 
 Stowed Survey of London, contains only what 
 is mofi remarkable j and takes no Notice of many other 
 Things that very weH dcferve the Reader s Attention 
 and Knowledge^ and either leaves out, or curtails many 
 of the mofi valuable Latin Infcriptions. Weaver 
 has confined himfelf in his Book of the Ancient 
 Funeral Monuments of Great Britain, only to the 
 Ancient Epitaphs and Infcriptions. And StoweV 
 Survey of London, and the Continuation, as 
 well as WeaverV aforefaid Piece, did not reach be- 
 yond the Tears 163 1* and 1633. ^nd Mr Sand- 
 ford has limited his Enquiry to the Royal Monu- 
 ments only. It mnfi bc'confefsd, That the inge* 
 nious Mr. Keepe has far outdone all the refl, as 
 well in being very induflrious in comparing and cor- 
 recting the Inscriptions mentioned by Cambden, 
 Stowe, and Weaver, according to the Originals, 
 as by giving us a more particular Description of 
 them, and a jhort Historical Account of many of the 
 great Perfi>ns for whom they were erected, together 
 with their Coats of Arms ; and adding to them S^ch 
 Epitaphs, InScriptions and Arms, of the Monuments j 
 04 have been erected in this Church ftnce that Time : 
 And His freely confeS$'d, That we and the Public (land 
 much indebted to this Author in many P\.efpects 9 
 relating to this Point 5 but more especially in Refe- 
 rence to the Coats of Arms and Atchievcments of 
 Honour, in which , as well as in Some other Things ; 
 we have purSued his Method. A z JBfft 
 
The Preface. 
 
 But after all, upon a Jlritf View and Examina- 
 tion of the whole, there will be found a confiderable 
 Difference^ and many Alterations in the more An- 
 cient, as well as Additions of the greatefl Confer 
 quence in the Modern Defcriptions of the Monu- 
 ments , Charafiers and Htfiorical Accounts of 
 what has been fet up in this Church for near 
 thefe Thirty Tears loft fajl (Jince Mr. Keepe writ 
 his Treat ife) : Be fides, upon the Perufal of the, 
 whole, the Reader will be convinced, that where* 
 as in all the before-mentioned Pieces, the Mo- 
 numents and their Infcriptions have been related 
 fomerrhat confufedly, we have taken fuch effectual 
 Care to reprcfent the whole, not only under diftinff 
 Heads, {which was not done before*) but in fa 
 regular a Manner, that after having firfl given 
 eur Reader a Jhort Hiflorical Account of tht Orir 
 ginal and Continuance of thu Church, both in its 
 Structure and Government , with the fever al Vrcifr 
 fitudes it has undergone for fo many Ages pajl, we 
 lead our Reader fir ft of all into the Choir * where 
 having given him a full View of the Monuments, 
 Infcriptions, and what elfe is Remarkable there, we 
 carry him cut of the South- Door of the faid Choir, 
 a little to the Left- Hand, immediately into the Area, 
 or Paffage leading to the feveral Chappels fet apart 
 for the Sepulchres and Tombs of the Kjngs, greens, 
 and others of the Royal Family , and the chief t fl 
 hlity. 
 
 The Firji Chappel you meet with here, is that of 
 St % Edmund ; after which you come to that of 
 St. Nicholas j next to this, is that of the BJefled 
 
 Virgin 
 
The Preface.' 
 
 Virgin, commonly call'd King Henry the Seventh's 
 Chaff el : From thence you come to the Chaff el of 
 St. Paul; and after this, to that of St. Erafmus ; 
 and croffing the Area, to the Chaff el of St Edward 
 the Confeflbr ; and then croffing the Area again, 
 the next that offers it (elf to your Sight , is the Chaf- 
 fel of St. John the Baptift ; and next to this, the 
 Chaff el of St. John the Evangelift, a fmalL Di- 
 fiance from which is that of St. Michael. The 
 next within the Area or faff age leading to the Royal 
 Tombs, is that of St. Andrew ; and as you return 
 from out of the Pajfage which leads you to the [eve- 
 ral before-mentioned Chaff els, on the South Side, 
 you fee the Two fmall Chaff els of St. Blafe and St. Be- 
 nedict ; from whence you are brought to the South 
 Ctofs, in the Body of the Church : From thence f a f- 
 Jing to about the Middle of the South IJle, you turn 
 by a Defcent on the Left Hand into the Cloyfier, 
 where we have been as exact as foffible in faithfully 
 tranferibing fever al Infcrift ions from the Wall which 
 were almoft obliterated : And though, as has been 
 already acknowledged, the fever al Terfons who for- 
 merly made any Ejfay towards the Antiquities of 
 this Church, have in many Things been corrected by 
 Mr. Keepe, yet has he not been without his Errors, 
 by relying too much ufon them, and not examining 
 fome of the mofi ancient Infcriftions ; but f articular- 
 ly in One Inflame, which I Jhall here mention, 
 viz. He calls the Chaff el of St. Erafmus by St. John 
 Bapciil'i Name, and makes the fame Contrariety in 
 the latter, by afcribing it to St. Erafmus ; which 
 Mi fake could be occaftoned no other Way, than by

 taking this Matter upon Trujl ; for the Word

 Two Chappels : Befides\ the irregular Method which 
 iVfr.Keepe followed in giving an Account of Perfons 
 at one End of his Book, and placing all their 
 Infer ipt ions and Epitaphs at the other , has 
 made his Work as inconvenient for Ufe, as it is 
 immethodical in the Performance ; fo that, in fhort, 
 confidering the great Trouble and Length of Time 
 that has been taken up in compleating this Work, ha? 
 ving ventured nothing upon Irufl, hut carefully re- 
 taken all the Infcriptions, &c. (thofe that had gone 
 hefore being of no other Ufe than in faving us a 
 little Labour, by dire fling to thofe Parts of the 
 Church where the mofl ancient Monuments flood) cur 
 Performance may be faithfully faid to be wholly new, 
 not only as to the Method, but in the Account given 
 of the Lives, Marriages, and Iffae, of the mofl 
 Eminent Personages repofited in this noble Structure. 
 And 1 here take the Opportunity of returning the mofl 
 grateful Acknowledgments to all my Friends who have

 Jince that Subject has been fo learnedly and judicioujly

 Mr. Sandford (as has been already obferved) con- 
 fining himfelf to the Royal Monuments only, and 
 having engraven them in his Genealogical Hifto-

 in this Kind of Learning are furnished with, we 
 therefore omitted doing them over again ; but have 
 engraven feveral other of the mofl confiderable

 THE

 OF 
 
 St. PETE Rs, 
 
 OR THE 
 
 Abbey Church of IVeftminJlen 
 
 THOSE that are fond of every Thing 
 that has but the leaft Relifti of Antiqui- 
 ty., deduce the firft Foundation of the 
 Abbey Church of Wejlminfier from the very 
 Infancy of Christianity it felf j For.they tell us/That 
 St. Peter the Apoftle ere&ed a Chriftian Oratory 
 or Chappel here : But, in my Opinion, thofe come 
 much nearer to the Mark, that make Lucittf, (who 
 reign'd as King in Britain under the Protection of 
 the Romans toward the latter End of the Second 
 Century), the firlt Founder of it. For, this King 
 having, about the Year of Chrift 18:5 .relinquished 
 the Pagan Idolatry, and embraced the Chriftian 
 Faith, left no Stone unturnd to fettle and effi*

 blifh the fame throughout all his Dominions, by 
 erecting Chappels, and other Religious Stru&ures. 
 Among the reft, he ordered an Oratory or Chap- 
 pel to be ere&ed, . for the Ufe of the New-Con- 
 verted Chriftians, in the fame Place where our 
 Church of Weftminfier now Hands ; which he dedi- 
 cated to St. Peter. 
 
 Thus it continued till the Year of Chrift 313, 
 when, during the Perfecution of the Chriftians 
 under Dioclejian and Maximinian, the fame exten- 
 ded alfo to Britain, where, among many others, 
 this Chriftian Chappel, buiit by King Lucius about 
 130 Years before, was demolished, and upon the 
 Ruins thereof a Pagan Temple ere&ed, and de- 
 . dicated to Apollo. 
 
 How long this Temple continued, or how it 
 came to be deftroyed, is uncertain : But moll 
 certain it is, that about 500 Years after, it was 
 not only utterly fubverted in its Ruins, but the 
 very Place alfo where it ftood overgrown with 
 Thorns, and overflown by the River of Thames* 
 fo that. the Saxons, who by this time had got Foot- 
 ing in this Kingdom, gave it the Name of the 
 Thorny Ifle 3 or the Ijland of Thorns. 
 
 Segebert or Sebert, King of the Eafi-Saxons, ha- 
 ving embraced the Chriftian Faith, and been bap- 
 - tized about the Year of Chrift 600, by Augufiine 
 the Monk, did immediately after his Converfion 
 ere£t a Church, a moft noble Structure, upon the 
 very Ruins of the before-mentioned Temple of 
 Apollo, and dedicated it to the Remembrance of 
 its former Patron St. Peter. 
 
 At the fame time, this pious King, by the Per- 
 fwafion of Mdlitusi the then Biftiop of London, 
 ere&ed an adjoining Convent, and endowed it 
 with a fufficient annual Revenue, for the Sup- 
 port and Maintenance of a certain Number of 
 
 Reli.

 Such as have a mind to be informed more at 
 large, concerning the pretended Miraculous Con- 
 fecration of this Church by St. Peter hitnfelf, and 
 fome other Antiquities relating to it, may confuit 
 ts£lred Abbot of Rivaux, in the Life of Edward 
 the ConfeJJor ; Baronius and Alfordus, in their Eccle- 
 Jiafiical Annals , and Bifhop Ujher, in his Original of 
 the Churches of Great Britain, 
 
 In the 10th Century, this Church and Mona- 
 liery was deftroyed by Fire, and all the Monks 
 therein (lain, by the barbarous Danes, and fo re- 
 mained defolate till the Reign of King Edgar, who 
 caufed it to be rebuilt, and, with the Affirtance 
 of St. Dunfian, fettled in it fome Fryars of the 
 Order of St. BenediB, conftituting. Biftiop Wolfine 
 their Abbot, who died and was buried here about 
 the Year 95-8, and for his Holinefs obtain d a Place 
 among the Saints. 
 
 King Edward the Confejfor having, according to 
 that blind Zeal which at that time had intoxicated 
 the Chriftian World, during his Exile in Norman- 
 dy, made many Vows and Promifes of Pilgrima- 
 ges, &e. in cafe he fhould be reftored to his Do- 
 minions, thought it his Duty, after his Return 
 into England in the Year 1045, to propofe to an 
 Ajjembly and Convocation of 'his Nobility and Clergy, m 
 his Intention of going to Rome, purfuant to his 
 former Vows and Promifes. But this Refolution 
 being diverted by the earneft Intreaties of his Sub- 
 jects, who reprefented' to him the Danger both 
 his Perfon and Kingdoms might be expofed to by 
 fuch an Undertaking, • an Expedient was pitch'd 
 upon to quiet the zealous Kings Confcience, and 
 at the fame time to provide for the Security of the 
 Subject.

 For, Ambaffadors were fent to Rome, to follicit 
 his Holinefs for a Difpenfation with the Kings 
 Vows ; which they obtained without much Diffi- 
 culty, with this Provifo neverthelefs, That all the 
 Money, and other Things, intended for his Jour- 
 ney, fhould be given to the Poor; and that, 
 befides this, he fhould either ered: a new, or 
 repair fome old Monaftery, to the Honour of 
 St. Peter. 
 
 The Abbey of Wefimlnjier^ ( or the Weftern Mo- 
 nafiery, to diftinguifh it from another feated at the 
 Eaft-end of London ) being by this time fallen into 
 great Decay, it was, upon this Occafion, judged 
 the moft proper Place and Objeft of the Kings 
 intended Charity and Bounty; for what is re- 
 lated by fome concerning Wulfin and his Vifion, 
 relating to the re-edifying of this Church, muft 
 be placed among the fabulous Legends of thofe 
 Times. 
 
 3 Tis fufficient to know, that King Edward the 
 Confejjor, to difcharge his own Vows, and fulfill 
 the Injunctions given him by his Holinefs, caufed 
 immediately his whole Eftate and Pofleffions to be 
 decimated, and to be appropriated to the pulling 
 down the old ruined Church built by King Sege- 
 bert, and a moft ftately Fabrick to be ere&ed in 
 the fame Place in lieu thereof. 
 
 He alfo removed the Parifli Church of St. Mar- 
 garet's, Wefiminfter, which then flood in the Cloi- 
 lters of the old Abbey, and built another in 
 the Church-yard, that they might not be flrait- 
 ned for Room in the building of fo noble 
 and magnificent a Stru&ure ; which was order'd to 
 be built in Form of a Crofs, and ferved as a Pat- 
 tern afterward to many other Churches in Eng- 
 land.

St. PETER'*, Weftminftcr. 5 
 
 To add to the Honour and Glory of this new 
 Fabrick, the King call'd together an Affembly of 
 his Nobility and Clergy, to be prefent at the So- 
 lemnity of its Dedication, and at the fame Time 
 endowed it not only with ample Revenues, but al- 
 fo adorn'd it with high Privileges and Exemp- 
 tions, making it a perpetual Sanctuary and Habi- 
 tation for BenediBine Monks (tranfported thither 
 from Exeter) , who fhould be fubjed to no other 
 Perfon but the King only. 
 
 He alfo confirm'd its former Privileges to be the 
 Place of the Royal Inaugurations, the R epofitory 
 of the Crown, and other Regalia ; towards which 
 he gave feveral rich Veftments, golden Crowns 
 and Scepters, a Dalmatian embroider'd Pall, a 
 Pair of Spurs, Linnen Gloves, a Tortoife-Shell 
 Comb fet in Gold, a Chalice made of an Onyx 
 Stone, bound about the Foot, with a Patten there- 
 unto, all of pure Gold, with feveral other Dona- 
 tions, to be us'd on the Days of the Coronation of 
 the Kings and Queens of England. Many of thefe 
 remain to this Day in the Cuftody of the Dean and 
 Chapter of this Church. He alfo took effe&uai 
 Care not only to fecure thefe Privileges, Dona- 
 tions and Poifeffions by Three Royal Charters, 
 but alfo got them confirm'd by the Bifhop of Rome y 
 whofe Bull was inferted in the Great Charter : This 
 King was alfo, according to his ownDefire, buried 
 in the Church of Weflminfter * his Monument, or 
 at leaft Part thereof, being extant to this Day, as 
 we fhall fee hereafter. 
 
 For above 15-0 Years after the Death of this 
 King, his Succelfors beftow'd confiderable Reve- 
 nues upon this Monaftery, and King Henry III. a- 
 bout the Year 1220, order'd the old Fabrick of 
 King Ed-ward to be pull 'd down, and began Part 
 of that Structure that is now {landing; himlelf

 laying the Firft Stone thereof : He alfo ere&ed a 
 Chappel at the Eaft-End, which he dedicated to 
 our Lady ; as the Fryars on the other hand enlarged 
 it towards the Wefl : But finding his Revenues to 
 fall fhort, to accomplifh fo great a Work, he by a 
 Stratagem got Money of the Citizens of London^ 
 and fo with the Help of the Monks carried on the 
 Stru&ure, which however was not finifti'd till yo 
 Years after, 
 
 In the Year 1274, a fudden Fire happening in 
 the Palace hard by, the raging Flames took hold 
 alfo of the Church, and confum'd the whole Roof 
 (then cover'd with Lead) and all the Timber- 
 Work: But this Damage was repair d, and the 
 Structure reftor d to its former Splendor, Firft, by 
 King Edward L and II. and afterwards by fome of 
 their Abbots, that were lingular Benefa&ors to 
 this Monaftery : 
 
 As Simon Langham, who was firft Abbot here, 
 and promoted afterwards to the Dignity of Arch- 
 bifhopof Canterbury. He paid feveral Debts owing by 
 this Convent, to the Value of 2200 Marks, and 
 gave 400 Pounds towards the repairing of the Bo- 
 dy of the Church • Books to the Value of 830 
 Pounds; and 3 befides this, forgave them a Debt of 
 59^4 Pounds, which was owing to him, in the 
 Year 1^9. 
 
 The Tomb of this Prelate is ftill to be feen on 
 the N<?r^~Side of the Chappel of St. Benedict (in 
 this Church) being of Freeftone, mix'd with grey 
 Marble and Brafs, with an Image of Alabafter re- 
 prefenting an Archbifhop in his Pontifical Veft-

 Another great Benefactor and Abbot of this

 Hall, and Great Chamber called Hierufalem, as alfo

 where his Arms are to be feen to this Day, viz. 
 Quarterly Argent and Gules, in the Second and Third a 
 Tree, Or, on a Bend. B. Three Flofoer de Luces of the 
 Third. He alfo built the Granary with an adjoining 
 Tower, which is now the Dormitory of theJ^Ws 
 Scholars ; as likewife a Water-mill for the Conveni- 
 ency of this Abbey. He dy'd in the Year 1386, 
 and was buried in a Chappel of this Churchy for- 
 merly dedicated to St. Blafe, but made ufe on at 
 prefent as a Reve^re, after having been Abbot of 
 Wefiminfier above 2 y Years. 
 
 John Efiney was alfo a great Benefactor and Ab- • 
 bot of Wefiminfier, for he paid 5070 Pounds, that 
 was owing to the See of Rome, for the Confirma- 
 tion of their Abbots, built the great Window to 
 the Weft, and adorn d the Skreen of the Chappel 
 of St. John the Evangelifi in this Church, with 
 Paintings, gilt Carvings, and Coats of Arms. On

 Marble ; with his Effigies thereon finely engraven 
 on Brafs, in the Veftments of his Office, with a 
 Mitre on his Head, and the Paftoral Staff in his 
 Jland : Round the Verge of the Tomb are to be 
 feen the Remnants of a Latin Infcription, intima-

 joining to the Tomb of Aimery de Valence, Earl of 
 Pembroke, under which this Abbot is buryed^ after 
 having been 23 Years Lord Treafurer of England, 
 and Abbot of this Monaftery. 
 
 John Iflip was another Abbot and Benefactor of 
 Weflminfter Abbey, about the Year i^oo. For he not 
 only built that Houfe which is now the Deans, but 
 alfo repaired many of the Buildings belonging to 
 the Monaftery, and the Church it felf. He alfo 
 fet up in the Niches., the Statues of all the Kings 
 and Queens that had been Benefadors to it. He

 alfb erected and dedicated a Chappel in this 
 Church to St. Erafmus, the Roof being curioufly 
 carved and interfperfed with feveral Devices allu- 
 ding to his Name ; which being Iflip, you fee one 
 /lipping Boughs in a Tree, a Touth flipping from a Bough 
 of a Tree, with a Label coming out of his Mouth , with 
 Iflip thereon ; as alfo with his Coat of Arms, viz,. 
 Ermin, aFefs between Three Weefels, Gules. In this 
 Chappel are to be feen the Remainders of his 
 Tomb, being a plain Marble Table, fupported by 
 four fmall Brafs Pillars,, and fix'd to a Pedeftal 
 of the fame Stone, where formerly had been plac d 
 the Skeleton in his Shrowd, curioufly done in Ala- 
 bafter, with an Epitaph and feveral Verfes thereon; 
 but all is removed now, except the Table., under 
 which he was interr d. 'Twas in Abbot Iflip s Time 5 
 viz. in the Year i?o2, that King Henry VII. or- 
 dered that Chappel built by King Henry III. and 
 dedicated to our Lady, to be pull'd down, and in 
 Lieu thereof ere&ed that molt noble Stru&ure, 
 known to this Day by the Name of King Hen~ 
 ry the Vllth's Chappel ; he himfelf laying the firft 
 Stone thereof, with an Intention to make it the 
 Place of Burial for himfelf, and the fucceeding 
 Kings of England ; for which Reafon it is, that in 
 his laft Will and T eft anient he expreily forbad,, 
 that any, but fuch as were defcended of the Royal 
 Blood, fliould be interr d here : But what feems to 
 be more furprifing than all the reft,' is, that the 
 whole Charge of this molt curious Edifice, is faid 
 to have amounted to no more than 1 1400 Pounds; 
 which, if it be Matter of Fa&, is an undeniable 
 Inftance, that Artificers did work at a much cheaper 
 Rate in thofe Days, than they do in our Time. 
 
 Not any confiderable Alteration has been made 
 in the Buildings of this Church ever fince that 
 Time, except that by way of Renovation they 
 
 hav$ 
 
St. PETE R'5, Weftminftef • 1 1 
 
 have put a new Outfide upon it very lately : But 
 the fame cannot be faid, in refpecfc of its Confuta- 
 tion and Government, which-, within thefe 200 
 Years laft paft, has been fubjed to various Changes 
 and Turns of Fortune. 
 
 For, after it had been govern'd by an Abbot about 
 Years, William Benfon, the then Abbot of Weft- 
 minfier Abbey, with 17 Fryars, faw themfelves ne- 
 ceffitated,in the 3 1 ft Year of King Henry the VIII/s 
 Reign, (purfuant to an A£t of Parliament) to re- 
 iign all their Power, Polfeflions, Revenues, and 
 Intereft, into the King's Hands ; they having at 
 that time a conftant annual Revenue of 3 471 Pounds 
 Twopence farthing, a great Sum in thofe Days ; 
 all which the King took into his own Poffeffion, 
 leaving the poor disbanded Fryars toftnft for them- 
 felves as well as they could, but making fome Pro- 
 vifion for the Abbot, William Benfoni For the 
 Church being then ordered to be under the Go- 
 vernment of a Dean and fome Prebendaries, Benfon 
 was made the Firft Dean. 
 
 But this Government did not continue upon the 
 fame Foor for above two or three Years ; when 
 this Church being turnd into an Epifcopal See, had 
 Middkfex for its Diocefs annex'd to it • and Thomas 
 Thurleby was conftituted Bifliop thereof. Neither 
 did this new Conftitution ftand above Nine Years; 
 for the faid Bifhop having,during this Time, dilapi- 
 dated and fquander'd away the Revenues annexed 
 to it, was remov'd to the Biftioprick of Norwich ; 
 and the Government of the Dean and Prebenda- 
 ries took Place a fecond Time. 
 
 Thus it continued for fome fhort Time, vfo 
 'till the Reign of Queen Mary, who fucceeding 
 King Edward VI. her Brother, in the Throne, 
 reviv'd the ancient Form of its Government in 
 x 556* by conflicting John Fecknam Abbot, and 
 
12 The Antiquities c/ 
 
 fettling 14 Fryars therein, after having obtained a 
 Licence from Cardinal Reginald Vole, the then 
 Archbifhop of Canterbury, and the Pope's Legate 
 in England, for the abolifhing of the Government 
 of the Dean and Prebendaries. Btit it was not long 
 before they fa w themfelves once more reftored to 
 their former Station: For upon the Acceffion of 
 Queen Elizabeth to the Throne, after the Death of 
 Queen Mary, ftie reinftated the Government of 
 the Dean with 12 Secular Canons and Prebendaries, 
 made it a Collegiate Church , and placed therein, be- 
 fides Petty Canons and others of the Quire, to the 
 Number of Thirty, 10 Officers belonging to the 
 Collegiate Diet, 2 Schoolmafters, 40 Scholars, and 
 12 Alms-men, with a proportionable Maintenance ; 
 not to mention here~the Stewards, Receivers, Re- 
 gifters, Collectors, a Library-Keeper, and other 
 Officers, the Principal being the High Steward of 
 Wefiminfier, which is always a Nobleman, and at 
 this Time belongs to his Grace the Duke of Ormond. 
 After the Death of King Charles L during Cromivel\ 
 Ufurpation, moil of the Revenues of this Church 
 were feiz'd upon, and converted to other Ufes ; 
 but with the Reftauration of KingCharles II. to the 
 Crown, the Dean, Canons and Prebendaries, had 
 the Satisfaction to fee Things return into the 
 old Channel, in which it has continued to this 
 Day. 
 
 It is further to be obferv'd, that the Deans of 
 this Collegiate Church of Weftminfter have fuc^ 
 ceeded in all the Privileges and Honours annex J d 
 in antient Times to the Abbots ; as, the Cuftody 
 of the Regalia for the Coronation of the Kings 
 and Queens of England, a Place of necelTary Ser- 
 vice upon that folemn Occaiion, and an Archie^ 
 pifcopal Jurifdi&ion in their Liberties; upon which 
 Account it was alfo, that thefe Abbojs fat as Spi- 
 
St. PETER's, Weftminfter. 13 
 
 ritual Lords in Parliament : In all thefe, (except the 
 laft ) I fay, the Deans fucceed j for the Dean of 
 Weftminfter is in the Commiflion of the Peace with- 
 in the City and Liberties of Weftminfter, and., in 
 Conjun&ion with the Chapter, exercifes both an 
 Ecclefiaftical and Civil Jurifdi&ioo, as well with- 
 in the City and Liberties of Weftminfter, as in the 
 PrecinA of St. Martins le Grand within the Walls 
 of London, this Precind having been annex d to it 
 by King Henry VII. 
 
 Hence it is, that when ever the Convocation is 
 r^mov'd from St. rauFi to Weftminfter, the Dean 
 makes his Proteftation againft it ; whereupon the 
 Bifhops are obliged to declare, That their fitting 
 there, fliall be no Infringement of that high Privi- 
 lege granted to this Church by Edward the Confeftor, 
 viz,. That no Archbifhop or Bifliop fhall come there 
 without the Abbot s Leave,

 After having given our Reader a fhort Account 
 of the Original, Progrefs^ and various Revolutions 
 of this famous Abbey, it will now be Time to take 
 a more exad View of its prefent Condition, both 
 in the In and Outfide. 
 
 This Noble and Lofty Strudure appears beft on 
 the South and South-Eafi . Side, becaufe Ihe is leaft 
 incumbred there with Buildings. On the South- 
 EafiVart alfo prefents it felf to your View^that moft 
 curious Fabrick of King Henry VII. I mean, his 
 Chappel dedicated to the Virgin Mary j whofe 
 
 Lofty 
 
St. PETER 5 *, Weftminfter. 15 
 
 Lofty Battlements, curious Windows, Supports, and 
 innumerable Ornaments, making fo exa<ft and fo 
 furprizing a Compofure of moll curious Workman- 
 fhip, that few Structures in the World can parallel 
 it, and none exceed it in his Kind. 
 
 On the North-Side, this Noble and Lofty Fabrick 
 is much deform'd and defac'd, partly by the many 
 clofe adjacent Buildings, but much more by the 
 North Winds, which driving the corroding and 
 piercing Smoak of the Sea-coals from the City that 
 Way, have fo far impaired and changed her for- 
 mer Beauties, that the Remnants thereof are fcarce 
 fufficient to convince you of her Excellency in 
 former Ages ; were it not, that that admirable 
 Portico, which is on this Side, did give you fome 
 undeniable Idea of her antient Greatnefs. 
 
 This Portico has a moft noble Door, or Portal^ 
 which brings you into the Crofs of the Church ; 
 with two leffer Porches on each Side, one of which 
 ferves for the Conveniency of Entering therein. 
 Its Remnants or Ruins fufficiently fpeak what 3 
 curious Piece this Portico has been in former Times. 
 For here were the Statues of the Twelve Afoftles 
 at full Length, with a vaft Number of other Saints 
 and Martyrs, intermix'd with Intaglio's, Devices, 
 And abundance of Fretwork to add to the Beauty 
 thereof, but all much defacd, and worn out by 
 Time, and the corroding Vapours of the Sea-coals : 
 And it was doubtlefs owing to its Excellency, that 
 fome, in former Ages, have beftow'd upon it the 
 Title of Solomons Porch, judging that a Piece of 
 Work, far furpaffing any Thing of that Kind ia 
 thofe Days, might very well challenge an uncom- 
 mon Name. 
 
 The very Remnants which are obvious to our 
 Sight even to this Day, may foon convince us of 
 its antient Beauty and Magnificence. For this 
 
 Por- 
 
\6 The Antiquities of 
 
 Portico ftill retains entire below Two of thefe ad- 
 mirable Statues, befides Three others quite defaced, 
 and Two more over the Eafiern Part of the Portico* 
 and as many over the Wefiern Door, through which 
 you enter on the 'North-Side $ pretty entire, being 
 all undeniable WitnelTes of their former Excellen- 
 cy. To the JVefi of this Crofs or Portico, all along 
 the North Wall of the Church on the Outfide, are 
 Nine Buttreffes, and as many on the South-Side, in 
 the Niches whereof ftood formerly alfo the Statues of 
 all thofe Princes that contributed to this Building ; 
 but of thefe Eighteen, there are only Eight Sta- 
 tues remaining on both Sides. • At the JVeft-End of 
 this Church, over the Portal, pretty high, are 
 Ten Niches, between Two Buttreffes, wherein are 
 alfo Two Niches,which in all Probability were alfo 
 filled with Statues in former Ages ; but are now 
 quite loft by length of Time. There were alfo 
 feveral Buttreffes on the Eajt-Side of the Churchy 
 which in Reparation thereof have been rebuilt 
 plain. 
 
 Notwithftanding thefe Outward Appearances of 
 Deformity and Old Age, when you enter this 
 Church through the Weft Door, which leads and 
 gives you a full View of the Body of it, you will 
 there meet with fuch Graces and CuHofities, as 
 will attrad both your Admiration and Attention. 
 
 You will find it to be built in the Form of a 
 Crofs, as we told you before, its Vault and Side- 
 Ifles being fupported by near a Hundred Pillars 
 and Demi-Pillars of grey Marble* diftant from 
 each other Eight Foot : There are Galleries a- 
 dorn d with fmall Columns and Arches over the 
 North and South Ifles, Sixty Foot high. From 
 thence you may guefs at the Height of this Fa- 
 brick, which, join'd to the.Tapernefs of its Pillars, 
 makes up pne of the molt curious and almoft ini- 
 mitable 
 
Si. PETE R*5, Wcftminfter. i ? 
 
 taitable Piece of Workmanfliip in the World, no- 
 thing of this Kind, that comes near it, having as 
 much as been attempted in thefe latter Ages. 
 
 The Roof being fupported by thefe Pillars, the 
 Arches don't turn upon the Demi-Circle,(as is pra- 
 <ftifed in buf Days) but join in acute Angles, af- 
 ter the Gothkk Manner of Archite&ure; and thus 
 making feveral Squares, compofe a moft fioble 
 Roof, with divers Figures, and finely gilt in fome 
 Places. 
 
 The Length of this Church within the Walls, to 
 the Chappel of Henry the Seventh, is 360 Foot; the 
 Breadth of the Nave, y$ Foot, but that of theCrote 
 about 200 Foot,more or left: From the Chappel of 
 St. Beneditf on the South-fide, to that of St. Erafmm 
 on the North, 114 Foot: From the Chappel of 
 St. Edmund,to thdt of St. John the Baptijt, 126 Foot ; 
 and from that of St. Paul on the North-fide, to that 
 of St. Nicholas on the South, 9^ Foot : All which 
 are in your View as you enter the Church. If to 
 this you add King Henry the Seventh's Chappel, 
 which alone is about 120 Foot long, and 60 broad, 
 this whole Structure contains no leis than 480 Foot 
 in Length within its Walls j fo that it approaches in 
 Length to St. TePf s Church in Rome, and furpafles 
 in this Point, as well as in many other Things, the 
 moft celebrated Churches and Temples $ the Tem- 
 ple of Solomon it felf having only 60 Cubits in 
 Length. 
 
 This Church contains in its Circumference, be- 
 fides the Two Royal Chappels of St. Edward and 
 King Henry the Seventh, Ten Chappels ; Four of 
 which are to the South, and Six to the North. 
 To the South are, thofe of St. Blafe, St. Beneditt^ 
 St. Edmund, and St. Nicholas. Thofe on the North- 
 fide are, thofe of St. Andrea*, St. Michael, St. John 
 the Evangelifi, St. Erafmm, St. John the Baptijt, and

 On each Side of the Nave under the Windows, 
 and between the Pillars, are Hill remaining the 
 Names and Coats of Arms of thefe following Prin-

 Church ; their Names being written in Saxon Let-

 The Windows of this Church, of which there 
 are near 100 great and fmall, in Two Ranges, 
 One above, and the Other below, were in former 
 Times adorn d with Stain d Glafs, as feems to be ap- 
 parent from the Remnants thereof at the Eafi and 
 Wefi Ends., and many on the South-fide in the upper 
 Range Wefiward from the crols Roof, and particu- 
 larly in the South-TVefi Window below is the Pro-

 As you advance from the Weft Door of this 
 Church ftraight forward, about 15-5- Foot into the 
 Nave, toward the Skreen that feparates the high 
 Altar from the Skreen of St. Edward and the 
 Chappel of the Kings, you behold there the Quire, 
 fuited and fet apart as a Place peculiarly devoted 
 to the Divine Service and Preaching. Here, be- 
 twixt the Pulpit and the Stalls, your Eyes are'fur- 
 priz'd with the Sight of a moft ftately Pi&ure, in 
 one of the Pannels of the Wainfcot, reprefentingan 
 Englift King with all his Ornaments in a Coronation 
 Chair: It is a moft excellent Piece, confidering 
 the Age it was done in, and is mcft generally be- 
 lieved to be the Protraiture of Richard II. King of 
 England, by Reafon of its moft exa& Features, 
 which, according to the Relation of Hiftorians, 
 feem to have a great Refemblance to the Counte- 
 nance of that beautiful King j as well as to a 
 Pi&ure of his, which was formerly plac'd among 
 the Royal Collections of Pi&ures at the Palace of 
 Hampton-Court. 
 
 From the Pulpit , you afcend by Three or 
 Four Steps to the Gilt Iron Rails that encompafs 
 the high Altar ; where you may feed your Eyes 
 with the agreeable View of that moft curious in- 
 laid Floor, with Jafper, Porphyry, Alabafter, &c. made 
 at the Charge and by the Direction of Richard de 
 Ware, Abbot of Weftminfter j a Defcription where- 
 of, together with his Tomb on the North-fife of 
 this Quire, we have given you before in its pro- 
 per Place. 
 
 The Altar-Piece it felf is very curious and mag- 
 nificent, of polifti'd Marble, viz^i White, Blue, Por- 
 phyry, &c. The lower Order or Range coftfifts

 And above them, thefe Words : 
 
 Do this in Remembrance of me. 
 
 The upper Order or Range confifts of a Qua- 
 drangular Table, adorn d with Two Demi-Co- 
 lumns, and thefe again between Four Columns, 
 Two on each Side, plac'd in a Semicircular Range 
 with an Entablature and pitch'd Pediment of the 
 - Compofite Order. Within the Square you fee the 
 following Infcription : 
 
 Glory to God in the highefi, and Peace on Earthy good 
 Witt toward Men. 
 
 Above it, is an Imperial Crown enrich'd with 
 Palm Branches ; and above it, is a Glory, within a 
 Circular Grappa of Cherubims ; over which you. 
 fee the Figure of a Bible, with this Infcription: 
 
 The Holy Bible. 
 
 All thefe Pieces above the Cornifh of the upper 
 Range are plac'd betwixt Two Angels, one of them 
 with his Knee bent,the other in a descending Pofture 
 but both cafting their Eyes downward upon the Al- 
 tar. The Pavement of this Quire is of white and black 
 Marble, Lczengewife ; and there are 64 Stalls orj

 if 2 Foot in Lengthy and 33 in Breadth. You may 
 ftill perceive that the Arches of the Roof of this 
 Quire have been richly gilt, and are at this Time 
 adorning with new Gildings, as well as the crols 
 Ifle on the South-Side. 
 
 At fome fmall Diftance from the Tomb of the 
 beforefaid Abbot, you may fee the Remnants of 
 Three others, ufe. of Thomas Henly Abbot of Wefi- 
 minfier, of Richard Sudbury another Abbot of this 
 Monaftery, and of Sir Thomas Clifford Governor of 
 Berwick : They have fome Brafs Inscriptions but 
 being for the molt Part worn our, are not legible. 
 
 On the oppofice Side to the South lies interr d, 
 Anne, Wife and Queen to King Richard III. and 
 Daughter to Richard Nevil Earl of Warwick: She 
 is fuppos'd to have been poifon'd in the Year 1484. 
 Next to her, near the South-Door, entring St. Ed- 
 ward's Chappel, lies under a plated Marble-Stone 
 the Body of Walter Wenlock Abbot of Weftminfter, 
 and Lord Treafurer of England*, who died at his 
 Manor of Pireford in Gloucefierjhire the 2^th Day of 
 December, Anno 1307. He was 26 Years Abbot of 
 this Church ; there is nothing remaining of the

 Next to this, you may behold a moft antient Se-

 Cheft inclofed in Touch, lie the Remains of Sebert, 
 or Segebert % King of the Eaft-Saxons, and Etelgoda 
 his Queen, who laid the Foundation of this Mo- 
 naftery. The Queen died in the Year 615-, the 
 13 th of September ; and the King, about a Year af- 
 ter, <viz. the 50th of July, 616. Their Bodies 
 were, in the Year 1307, remov'd from the Old 
 Church built by King Edward the Confejfor, and de- 
 pofited here, hard by the Sepulchre of the Kings, 
 in this Tomb, under a ftately Canopy of eight 
 Panes of moft curious carved Wainfcot ; but what 
 chiefly added to its Curiofity in former Ages, was, 
 That in each of thefe Panes were painted the Figures 
 of St. Peter, St. John the Bapift, King Sebert, King 
 Edward the ConfeJJor, &c. with a great Number of 
 Verfes, by way of Queftions and Anfwers, under- 
 neath them, but are become iavifible by Age : 
 There remaining at this Time only one Table of 
 the following Latin Verfes adjoining to the Tomb, 
 telling you, in fuch a Metre as that Age afforded, 
 that the before-mentioned King was interr'd here, 
 and rewarded for his good Works.

 RuJJel, who outliving her Father, is faid foon after 
 to have bled to Death by a Prick of a Needle 
 in the" Fore-Finger of her Left Hand j as feems to 
 be intimated by the Figure placed on her Tomb. 
 For here on a Pedeftal of Black and White Mar- 
 ble made Columnwife, in Imitation of a Roman 
 Altar, you fee the Statue of a young Lady feated 
 in a moft curious wrought Olier Chair, of the 
 fineft polifh'd Alabafter, in a very melancholy 
 Pofture, inclining her Head to the Right Hand, 
 and with the Fore-Finger of her Left only exten- 
 ded downwards, to direct us to behold the Death s 
 Head underneath herFeet,and to intimate to us the 
 Difafter that brought her to her End ; which, if 
 true, muft be attributed to fome Gangrene, or 
 other dangerous Symptom, occafioned, perhaps, at 
 firft by the Pricking of an Artery oy Nerve, which 
 at lafl brought her to the Grave. This Monument 
 was erected to her Memory by her only ibrviving

 moft admirable Archice&ure and matchlels Roof, 
 is filled on the North and South Sides with Stalls of 
 moft furious carved Wainfcot, being now the ufual 
 Place of the Seflions of the Upper Houfe of Con- 
 vocation, and its Floor paved with Marble. The

 dral, with a Nave and two Side-Ifles. The in- 
 comparable Roof, all Stone, being wrought into 
 16 large Circles, 8 in a Range, and between them 
 four fmaller Circles, each of which larger Circles

 equal Diftance, the Spaces between being fill'd up 
 with Gothic Arch-work very clofe, and curioufly 
 carved , gradually projecting fome Diftance to- 
 wards 
 
7& The A n t i oju i t i e s tif 
 
 wards the Horizon, from the Level of the greateft 
 Circles, by the feeming Gravity of the Central 
 P^rts. The whole Roof is fupported by twelve 
 Pillars and Arches of the Gothic Order, adorned 
 toith mpft excellent Carvings of various Figures of

 holding no more than Two Coffins, at the Heac

 reafbnable, that thofe Two great Perfonages, who, 
 during the Ufurpation of Oliver Cromwell, had ap- 
 pear'd together m their Life-time in fo high a Sta- 
 tion, as the firft to be entrufted with the Com- 
 mand of an Army, and the other with that of a 
 Fleet, and ferved in their feveral Pofts chiefly with 
 an Intent to bring about the Reftauration of theirl 
 Lawful Sovereign, ( which they happily effe&ed )j 
 fhould not be feparated now after their Death. 
 
 George Monk was the Son of Sir Thomas Monk, of*j 
 Tothertdge in the County of Devon, Knight. By! 
 the Lady Frances, Daughter and Coheir to Arthur i 
 Tlantagenet Natural Son to King Edward IV. Wifed 
 of Thomas Monk Efq; his Lineal Anceftor, he was 
 defcended from Edward Grey Vifcount Lip, Son ( 
 to the famous John Talbot, fometime Earl of Shrewf* 
 hury, by Margaret his Wife. Having from his 
 Youth taken great Delight, and pra&ifed Milita-I 
 ry Affairs and Actions both at Home and Abroad, 
 he was, after the Death of King Charles I. and the 
 Expulfion of the Royal Family, made* General in' 
 the North during Cromwell's Ufurpation • which he 
 improved fo far to his Royal Mafter's and his own i 
 Advantage, that when after the Death of the laid ii 
 Ufurper, and his Son Richards Refignation of the ; 
 Government, there was an Interregnum in this King- 
 dom, he laid hold of this Opportunity to reftore 
 King Charles II, (the Son of King Charles I.) to his 
 Father's Throne : For which fignal Piece of Ser- 1 
 vice, he was, in the 12th Year of King Charles II.'s ; 
 Reign, created Baron Monk of Potheridge, Beau- 
 champ, and Teyes ; Earl of Torrington, and Duke of • 
 Albemarle ; and fhortly after ele&ed a Knight of 
 the Moll Noble Order of the Garter. He had by ji 
 his Wife Anne only one Son, named Cbrijfopber, who

 fucceeded him in his Titles^ and is fince dead^ with- 
 out leaving any Iffue behind him. He died on the 
 ^th of January 1669, and was moft fplendidly in- 
 err'd at the Charge of his Sovereign, K. Charles II. 
 in this Royal Chappel, and his Effigies,, as we told 
 lyou before, fet up in a Wainfcot Cafe here, 
 
 Edward Montague, his worthy Companion both 
 in Life and Deaths whofe Corps is enclofed in the 
 fecond Coffin in the fame Vault., was Son and 
 Heir to Sir Sidney Montague , of Hinchinbrook in the 
 County of Huntington, Knight, who was Brother 
 to Edward, the firffe Lord Mountague of Broughton. 
 This Edward was, as we told you before,, under 
 the Ufurpation of Cromwell entrufted with the 
 Command of a Fleet, in the fame Manner as 
 General Monk was with an Army by Land, and 
 in this Station difguifing his Thoughts to prove 
 the more ferviceable to the Jloyal Family, which 
 at laft happily effe&ed it, by making himfelf 
 the Chief Inftrument (next to the before-men- 
 tioned General Monk ) of the Reftauration of 
 Charles II. (Son of K.Charles I.) to the Throne of his 
 Kingdoms, in the Year 1660, after an Exile of 
 Twelve Years. For which fignal Piece of Service 
 to his King and Country, he was by K. Charles IL 
 created Lord Montague of St. Neots in the Countv 
 of Huntington, Vifcount Hinchinbrook, and Earl of 
 Sandwich. He married Jemina, the Daughter of 
 1 John Lord Crew de Stene in the County of Nor- 
 thumberland * by whom he had Ten Children , 
 r viz,. Six Sons, Edward, Sidney, Oliver, John, Charles, 
 j and James ; and Four Daughters, Jemina, Paulina, 
 Anne^dnd Catherine. He was made Vice-Admiral by 
 King Charlesll. to his Royal Highnefs James Duke 
 of Tork and Albany, in the Dutch War in the Year 
 1672; when the Englijh Fleet being unfortunately

 On the South-Side of this Chappel, are to be feer 
 Three ancient Monuments of Marble ; the ftrft yot 
 meet with on the upper Part of the faid South-Wall 
 is a Tomb without a Canopy. OnthePedeftal 
 which is of Freeftone, you behold in a cumbenf 
 Pofture the Figure of an Abbot, in the Veftments 
 wherein he ufed to fing Mafs, with a Mitre on his 
 Head, a Crozier Staff in his Hand, arid a Ring on 
 his Finger. At his Feet lies a Spaniel-Dog, ant 
 Two Angels fupport his Pillow, all well dcfigrtil 
 This Tomb is faid to have been ere&ed to the Re- f 
 membrance of William de Colchefter, Abbot of Weft* 
 minfter 5 who lies interr d here, as 'tis commonly 
 believed, for there is not the leaft Sign of any In-I 
 fcription on or near this Tomb. 
 
 The next to this on the lame Side, but a little 
 more toward the Door, is a comely Tomb alio of I 
 grey Marble, or the beft Freeftone^ with anarch- 
 ed Canopy, embellifli'd with divers Figures and 
 ' Coats of Arms : Under this you behold the Image 
 of a Bifhop in his Epifcopal Habit, with a Mitre 
 on his Head, and a Paftoral Staff in his Left Hand, 
 placing his Feet on the Back of a Lion Couchanr. 
 This Tomb is faid to be ere&ed to the Memory of 
 7homas Rut ha 11 , Bifhop ot Durham, who was Secre- 
 tary to King Henry VII. of England, and died in the 
 Year 1J24. The Tomb being like the former, 
 without any Epitaph or Infcription. 
 
 The third Tomb, which is that next to the Door 
 on the fame Side of this Chappel, is aMb of grey V 
 Marble, about Three Foot from the Ground ; the 1 
 
 Tomb I 
 
St. PETER'*, Weftminftcr. 147 
 
 it is embellilh'd with Arms, and variety of Mafons 
 Work. , It is faid to have been fet up to the Re- 
 membrance of George Flaccet, Abbot of JVeftminfter, 
 the Infcription and Epitaph round the Ledge being 
 quite torn away. But what is moft worthy our 
 particular Obfervation here, is a very old Stone 
 Coffin, with a Covert of the fame, on which is car- 
 ved a Crucifix, placed on the Tomb of this Abbot, 
 Jn which is yet to be feen the Bones and Skeleton 
 of an embalmed Body, much defaced < but whofe 
 Body it is, admits ot no fmall Difpute. The Of- 
 ficers of this Church tell us, that it is the Body of 
 tiumfrey de Bohun Earl of EJJex, Hereford and Nor- 
 thampton, the laft of that Name, and who was 
 Lord High Conftable of England, but without the 
 leaft Probability of Truth ; it being evident, as 
 ' well from the Hiftory of the Movafticon Anglicanum, 
 as of Sir William Dugdale's Baronage of England, 
 that the faid Earl was buried with his Father, 
 Grandfather, and Great Grandfather, in the Ab- 
 by-Church of Walden in EJJex, the ancient Repofi- 
 itory of that Noble Family. Doubtlefs this Tradi- 
 ; tion has taken its Rife from a fmall Monument fet 
 j tip againft the North-Eaft Wall of this Chappel, jufl 
 ; tinder that of the before-mention'd Thomas Carey, 
 lib the Remembrance of Two of the faid Earl of 
 BjJexSy &c. Children,, which he had by Elizabeth 
 ! the Daughter of Edward I. viz. Hugh and Mary, 
 that are interr'd here. In my Opinion, Mr. Keepe 
 has not fhot very wide from the Mark, when he 
 tells us, That he believes it to be the Body of Tho- 
 mas Myllingy Abbot of Weftminfter, and Bifliop of 
 Hereford, one of the Privy Council to Edward IV. 
 King Of England, and fo great a Favourite, that he 
 flood Godfather to his eldeft Son, Prince Edward.

 to die about the Year 1493, was interred in the 
 midft of the Pavement of this Chappel, where 
 now the ftately Monument of the Earl of Exeter \ 
 ftands. And it is further not improbable, that! 
 when the faid large Vault and Monument, which 
 takes up a confiderable Space, was made for the 
 Earl of Exeter and his Ladies, the Coffin might be 
 removed from its Place, and depofited here on the 
 Tomb of George Flaccet ; for it is obfervable, that in 
 Mr. Cambdens Colle&ions of the Monuments of I 
 St. Peters Wefiminfter, which were made before the il 
 fiid Tomb was ere&ed, there is not the leaft Foot- E 
 ftep to be found of this Coffin. Which feems to be 11 
 a convincing Argument, that it was not there t 
 where it is now in his Time, or in any other vifi- 
 ble Place of this Church, for had it been, he 
 would doubtlefs not have pafs'd it by in Silence. 
 Add to this, that the Form of the Crucifix on the 9 
 Cover of the Coffin, feems to add to the ftrength- { 
 ning of this Opinion, becaufe we meet with many \ 
 of the fame Fafhion at Canterbury , York, Durham, R 
 &c. wherein are preferved the Bodies of Archbi- j, 
 iliops and Biffiops. r , 
 In the midft of this Chapped on the Pavement, 1 
 ftands the before-mention'd ftately Monument of 
 Thomas Cecill, Earl of Exeter, and Baron Burleigh. 
 It is all of black and white Marble, raifed above ' 
 Five Foot from the Floor ; the Pedeftal being a- ] 
 domed with Fourteen Efcutcheons of Arms. On j 
 the Top of it you fee the Images of the faid Earl in 2 
 his Parliament Robes, with the Collar, George and , 
 Mantle of the Garter • and his Countefs in her j ( 
 Robes alfo on his Right Hand j both extended at j ] 
 full Length, with a Garb fupported by Two Li-

 Situate at the EaftrJLnd of the 'Choir, and facing 
 the Chappels of Henry VI L and St. TauTs, Tis 
 called aifo the Chanel of the Kings, becaufe this was 
 theufual Burying Place of the EngUJl) Kings, before 
 the Building of the Royal Chaff el by King Henry VII. 
 It got the Name of St. Edward the Confeflbrs Chap- 
 pel, becaufe the Body of that pious and good King 
 was transferred hither , from the moft ancient 
 Church of his own Building, to this, ere&ed by 
 King Henry IIL of England ; who alfo fet up for 
 him a new Tomb and Shrine, covered with Gold, 
 in the midft of this Chappel • of which, more anon. 
 This Edward, Sirnamed the Confeffor, was Son 
 to King Etheldred, by Ernma his Queen ; and being 
 deprived of his Dominions by Canute, Harold and 
 Hardicnute, the Danish Kings, who had murthered 
 his Brother Edmund, was forced to fly for Shelter 
 into Normandy. But being at laft reftored to his 
 Kingdom, he was highly celebrated for his Piety, 
 Chanty, Cafiity and Patience ; For he remitted 
 
St. PETER's, Weftminfter. 153 
 
 he Tax, call'd the Danegek, to his Subje&s ; was 
 6 chaft, that he is faid never to have had any 
 Carnal Knowledge of his own Wife ; and fo pa- 
 ient, that he fcarce ever could be put into a Pal- 
 ion. 
 
 Tis owing to this his Holinefs, that the ancient 
 -liftorians afcribe to him that extraordinary Gift of 
 :uring thofe Swellings on the Throat, which from 
 hence were calfd the Kings-Evil ; which Royal 
 J ! Privilege, is faid to have been tranfmitted to his 
 ; ;iucce/Tors ever fince. They tell us, befides this, 
 hat after his Death, his very Tomb was endowed 
 i vith a Supernatural Virtue of curing all forts of 
 )ifeafes ; and that it was this that moved William 
 { jhe Conqueror, to adorn his Sepulchre with a ve- 
 i y fumptuous Shrine of Gold and Silver. They 
 Murther alfert, that about 36 Years after this, his 
 ' Jody being taken out of the Ground and found en- 
 ire, without the leaft Symptoms of any Corru- 
 ption, as well as his Garments ; and all his Joints 
 is flexible, as if he had been a&ually alive at that 
 Time ; and the News of this Miracle having foon 
 each'd the City of Rome, and the Court of Pope 
 Alexander III. he was canonized by him, Anno 
 16^ ; and at the Inftigation of Thomas of Beckett 
 Vxchbifliop of Canterbury, King Henry II. of Eng- 
 and thought fit to ereci another moft fumptuous 
 shrine to his Hpnour and Memory, in the Yea? 
 163. 
 
 After this, upon the Removal of this holy 
 king's Body by King Henry III. out of the old 
 Lhurfh of his own Ere&ion, into this Chappel pre- 
 >ared for him ; a Third Shrine was ere&ed to cn- 
 :lole his Body, and to place thereon the other 
 Two : This Solemnity was performed and celcbrate4 
 yy a moft fumptuous Feaft, at the Palace hard by. 
 The upper Part of this Feretory, which is ftill re- 
 maining, 
 
154 Ufa Antiquities of 
 
 maining, was accounted of an ineftimable Value; i 
 as well by reafon of the Plates of Gold wherewittj 
 it was adorned, as the Excellency of the Work \ 
 manftiip, and thofe precious Stones wherewith i 
 was adorned. The under Part, which we ftill be 
 hold, was made at the Charge of Richard de War t 
 (heretofore mentioned) Abbot of Wefiminfier, witj 
 fome of the fame Stones, and by the fame Hand 
 that wrought that moft admirable Pavement befor 
 the High Altar in the Choir, which we have de 
 fcribed before ; and at the fame Time, the Floor o 
 $his Chappei was alfo, by the fame Abbot's Com 
 mand, inlaid with the like Stones, fome Remnant 
 whereof we fee, tho 5 much defaced, to this Day

 There are here Two Iron Doors of curious 
 Grate-work facing the Shrine of St. Edward • on 
 each Side thereof are Two large Statues of Mitred 
 Abbots, with divers other leffer Images of Devout 
 Perfons of both Sexes in the adjoining Niches. 
 The Tomb it felf, within this little Chappel, is of 
 grey Marble raifed from the Ground,, on which 
 you fee lyings extended at full Length, Part only of 
 a Wooden Image, without a Head. The Officers 
 of the Church tell us, that it was of Silver, and was 
 ftolen thence j together with the curious wrought 
 and gilt Plates of Brafs, wherewith this Statue 
 was covered all over : But whether this was 
 committed by Theft, or by the Hands of fuch as 
 pretended to a Reforming Zeal , I will not 
 determine. Over this Tomb in the Chantry 
 Chaff el, where the Anniverlaries of this King and 
 Queen ufed to be celebrated, are however ftill re- 
 maining, the Saddle, Shield, and other Warlike 
 Inftruments and Furniture, this victorious Prince 
 ufed to wear in his Wars againft France • but the 
 Paintings and other Adornments that were to be 
 feen on the back-fide of this Magnificent Monu-

 This King Henry V. was the Son of Henry IV." 
 King of England and France , and Lord of Ireland^ 
 who after having vanquifhed the French in many: 
 Engagements, was made Regent of France by his 
 Father, and after his Death crowned their King at 
 Paris. He married Catherine Valois, the Daughter 
 of Charles VI. King of France, by whom he had 
 Henry -VI. King of England, &c. and dying in the 
 Year 1422, was buried and intombed here, after a 
 fhort, but moft glorious Reign of Ten Years.

 Opinion is, That this Lady being interred formerly 
 at the Entrance of the old Chappel of our Lady, when 
 King Henry VII. caufed that to be pull'd down, her 
 Coffin being found much decay 'd, the Ren ainders 
 of her Body were inclofed in this Cheft, and pla-

 Coming from the Scw^-Side to the Wefi-Side of 
 this Chappel of St. Edward the Confejfor, you fee it 
 wholly taken up by a Skreen at fome Diftance 
 behind the High Altar ; on the upper Part whereof 
 Is ftill remaining fonie Carvings, reprefenting 
 fome Things relating to the Life of St. Edward, 
 and to the old Hiftory of this Church. This 
 Skreen has Two Doors, one on each Side 3 which 
 ire moft particularly made ufe of on the Days of 
 he Coronations of the Englifi Kings and Queens,* 
 or the Conveniency of their retiring out of the 
 Body of the Church, to reft and refrefh themfelves 
 vithin this Place, which, upon fuch-like moft fo- 
 emn Occafions, is adorned with rich Hangings, 
 Carpets and Tapeftries : Here they are alfo diveft- 
 d of the Crown and Robes of St. Edward, by the 
 .ord High Chamberlain of this Kingdom, after the 
 solemnity ended at the High Altar, and are again 
 rray *d in thpfe mofc pompous Royal Robes they 
 re to wear that Day. 
 And here we muft riot pafs by in Silence the 
 soft ancient Cororiation-Chair, or the Seat whereon

i So The Ant i qu i t i e s of 
 
 crowned, placed hard by this Sheen ; which, as we |: 
 told you before, feparates the back Part of the j 
 High Altar of this Church from this Chappel. 
 
 Its Form, as well as its Materials, foon difcover 
 its Antiquity at firft Sight : It is made very plain, j 
 and fomewhat low, both in the Seat and the Back 
 of a fclid hard Wood • the Back and Sides of the I 
 fame : The Seat, inftead of Four Feet, is fupport- 
 ed by as many Lions pretty well carved ; and un- 
 der it lies a Stone of a bluifli Colour mix'd with , 
 red Spots, inclining to a Triangular Figure, and!, 
 which being broken, refembles a Pebble. This J 
 Stone is faid to be the fame on which the Patri- 
 arch refted his Head in the Plain of Luza, and to I 
 have been carried firft: to Brigaktia, a City of GaU j 
 llcia in Spain ; from thence, it feems, it was brought 
 into Ireland by Simon Brech, firft King of the Scots, 
 above 700 Years before Chrift ; and from thence^ 
 about 370 Years after, into Scotland, by King Fer< ' 
 guvue. In the Year of Chrift 8f o, it was placed at ( 
 the Abbey of Scone (in the County of Perth) byl k 
 King Kenneth, this being the Place where the Sco- 
 tijh Kings were generally crown'd in thofe Days-* 
 But when Edward I. King of England had vanquifW 
 ed John Baliol King of Scotland, in many Battels ; 
 he earry'd, in the Year 1297, this Scotifi Wooden 
 Throne, together with their Crown and Scepter, 
 among other rich Spoils, into England, which he 
 offered to the Shrine of King Edward the ConfeJJor. ; ~ 
 ever fince which Time, it has been made ufe on as 
 the accuftomed Throne, on which our Kings are 
 ufually inaugurated and crowned : And there is, 
 now to be feen another Wooden Chair, not unlike 
 the other, on which fits the Queen Confort on 
 the Day of her folemn Inauguration. This is what 
 they tell us concerning this Chair, which as yet

 Almoft dire&ly oppofite to this at the North-end

 3ackfide of the Partition that divides the Quire 
 rom this South-CroCs, you behold another moft 
 irious Monument, confifting of a moft curious 
 i'omb, of white and white-vein'd Marble, adorned 
 vith variety of Books in various Poftures and 
 Magnitudes, on the Tomb you fee a Perfon ia 
 lis Canonical Habit, placed lejant, but fomewhat 
 j jeclining, refting with his right Arm on a Cu* 
 hioft, in the right Hand holding a Pen, and in 
 lis left a Book expanded, with his Eyes fix'd up- 
 >n the Infcription, particularly on the Words, 
 kboU Monafierienfis. This appears from within a 
 Mantling, and is embelliflied with Pilafters, Cor- 
 lifh, Pediment Feftones, and Two Urns, alto- 
 jether moft curioufly done. This fine Monument 
 vas ereded to the grateful Remembrance of JRi- 
 hard Busby, Do£tor in Divinity, who was born at 
 button in Lmcolnjhir^ Sept. 22. 1606. was made 
 ichoolmafter of Wefiminfter, Dec. 13. 1640. and 
 Prebendary of Weftminfter, July 1660. Trea- 
 iurer of Wells, Aug. 1 1. in the lame Year $ and 
 departing this Life, April j\ 169?. was interred 
 uft behind his Monument within the Partition of 
 he Quire. 
 
 As for his Perfonal Qualifications, and the faith- 
 ul Difcharging of his Fun&ion in his Station, he 
 vas doubtlefs a Man very well acquainted with all 
 ?arts of Learning, but more efpecially converfant 
 In the Philological Part, which he had chiefly ac- 
 quired by his own Labour and Induftry. His fin- 
 ifular Skill and Penetration in Grammar, which 
 le profefifed for above f6 Years at Wefimlnfter- 
 School, his Works in that Kind are undeniable 
 ind fufficient Proofs to all thofe that have an In- 
 ight into that Study. Notwithftanding his being 
 
 R th< 
 
242 T-he A N T 1 Q U t t 3 E s 0/ 
 
 the greateft Mafter of it, he was the freeft Marl 
 in the World from that pedantique Humour andj 
 Carriage, which mikes mod of that Profeflion ri-s 
 diculous to the more fenfible Part of the World! 
 The greateft Proof that can be given of his fift 
 gular Ability and Dexterity in training up, anq 
 managing the Youth, is, That this Nation hai 
 been, and is ftill, furnifhed, both in Church am 
 State, with an almoft incredible Number of Met 
 brought up under his Tuition. 
 
 As his Piety was unfeign d and without Affe 
 station, fo his ftedfaft Zeal to the Church, ant 
 Loyalty to the Crown of England, were eminent 
 and not without Tryals in the worft of Time 
 There was an agreeable Mixture of Severity aric 
 Sweetnefs in his Manners ; lb that if his Carriage 
 was grave, it was at the fame time civil, am 
 full of good Nature, as his Converfation was al| 
 ways modeft and learned. But after all, his Cha 
 rity was the greateft Virtue in him, in the Dil 
 charge whereof, none ever took more Care 
 That his right Hand jhould not know ivhat the lej 
 did. 
 
 As to the Conftitution of his Body : He W| 
 healthy tp fuch a Degree, that his old Age pre 
 ved altogether free from thofe Difeafes and Infii 
 mities, which moft commonly attend other Pei 
 fons at that Age : And as this was the Confej 
 quence and Reward of his Chaftity, Sobriety an] 
 Temperance, fo he expended this bodily Strengt 
 altogether upon his indefatigable Labours in thj 
 Education of the Youth in TVeftminfter-^chool 
 which he never remitted until he was releafed c 
 it by Death, which he fubmitted to with the at 
 moft Patience and Conftancy to the laft Day c 
 '.his Breath.

 Sir CLOUD ESLTS HO VELL muft fee rank'd 
 among the Number of thofe great Men, who in 
 all Ages have been framed by Nature, and raifed 
 by Providence, from a low Beginnings to a moft 
 eminent Station in the World, for the Performance 
 of illuftrious and bold Anions, and the fignal Ad- 
 vantage of their Native Country ; it being un- 
 doubtedly true, That as this great Marine Com- 
 mander owed his Rife chiefly to his own Condud, 
 Integrity, and uncommon Valour; fo he had the 
 good Fortune of being Victorious, wherever he 
 met with any Opportunity of exerting his Bra- 
 very, it being very well known, that he had a 
 great Share in all the memorable Aftions that have 
 happened at Sea lince his being placed in any Poft 
 of Note in the Navy, a Thing no other Sea- 
 Commander at this Time can boaft of 
 
 This Great Sea-Commander owed his Birth to 
 fuch Parents, as were better known for their Ho- 
 hefty than any other remarkable Qualifications, 
 living in a fmall Town near Clay in the County 
 of Norfolk, where his Education was fuitable to 
 the Ability of his Parents: But Providence in- 
 tended him for much greater Things than what 
 could be expe&ed from his Parentage : For the 
 fame, his good and great Genius, that infpired 
 
An A ppbndi x. 325 
 
 him with a ftrong Inclination for the Sea, did di- 
 rect him alfo to that Great Commander Sir John 
 Narborough $ who taking him into his Service, and 
 perceiving in him an uncommon Genius bent to 
 Maritime Affairs, accompanied with an extraor- 
 dinary A&ivity and Boldnefs, beftow'd upon him 
 that Education his Parents had not been able to 
 afford him, and confequently laid the firft Founda- 
 tion of his future Greatnefs, not only in making 
 him a Marine Scholar, but alfo in continuing to be 
 his Prote&or as long a>he lived. 
 
 'Twas I>y his Affiftance he obtained a Commit 
 lion of a Lieutenant, and in that Poft gave theiirft 
 Proofs of his unparallefd Bravery , under the 
 Command of the faid Sir John Narborough ; who 
 being fent with a Squadron of Men of War to 
 chaftife the Corfairs of Algiers and Tripoli , the 
 Algerines having fecured their Ships againft any 
 Poffibility of an Attempt within the Harbour, it 
 was refolved to attack thofe of Tripoli, tho alfo 
 brought under their Walls, and the Prote&ion of 
 3. ftrong Fort. In this Expedition, the Boat 
 Sir Cloudefly ShaveU was in leading the Van, in the 
 midft of Fire and Bullets, he forced the Moors co 
 quit their Ships, and leave them to the Mercy of 
 the Flames. 
 
 The Reputation Sir Cloudefly gain" d in this A<5H - 
 on, of having behaved himfelf both as a valiant 
 and a judicious Officer, made fuch a ftrong Im- 
 preflion upon his Admiral and Patron, that after 
 their return from the Mediterranean, he obtained for 
 him the Command of a Sixth Rate Man or War, 
 ifl Consideration of his fignai Services.

 But during the una&ive Times of the latter 
 End of . King Charles Ills Reign, Sir Chudejly Sbo- 
 ofeflfs good Fortune and Military Virtue feenvd to 
 be at a ftand, as well as under the fucceeding fhort 
 Reign, of King James IL when very few but fuch 
 as would purchafe their Prince's Smiles, by efpou- 
 fing the Roman Catholick Caufe, being employed in 
 3ny A&ions of Moment, our brave and faithful 
 Commander thought fit to preferve both his Ho- 
 nour and Conference for better Times ; which he 
 happened to fee foon after upon the fucceeding 
 Revolution, and the Acceffion of King William IIL 
 and Queen Mary to the Throne.

 Now it was that he foon met with an Opportu- 
 nity of fignalizing himfelf afrefli in that Naval 
 Engagement under Admiral Herbert in Bantry-Hay , 
 on the Coaft of Ireland ; where, by the Confcffion 
 of all that had the Opportunity of making due 
 Obfervation upon what paffed in that Action, it 
 was highly owing to the undaunted, if not unpa- 
 rallefd Courage and Example of Sir Cloudefy Shb~ 
 veil, and fome few other Commanders, that the 
 French j tho' much fuperiour in Number, befides . 
 the Advantage of the Wind, did avoid coming to 
 a clofe Engagement, it being certain that the 
 Edgar , which Captain Shovett then commanded , 
 bore the hotteft Brunt of the Engagement, and 
 loft near as many Men as all the other Ships- toge-

 Ireland • which being done with all poffible Expe«* 
 dition, he gave the Enemy-, in thofe Parts, frefli 
 Proofs of his Valour and Fidelity to the Caufe he 
 had efpoufed in the Bay of Dublin, in the very 
 Sight of King James II. and his Guards. Here an 
 Englijh and fmall French Man of War, with fome 
 Tranfports, lying at Anchor, Sir Cloudejly left his 
 Flag, and went aboard a Yacht in Perfon, and 
 attended only with Two Hoys belonging to Men 
 of War, a Ketch, and fome Pinnaces well arm'd, 
 he pafi'd the Bar, with a furprifing Bravery, and 
 in Spite of all the Oppofition, as well from the 
 Shore as from the Enemy's Ships, boarded and 
 took the largeft of them, and towed her off. 
 In the turning out of the Bay, one of the Hoys 
 running a-ground at the loweft of Ebb, remained 
 upon dry Ground ; which being perceived by thofe 
 upon the Shore, King James II. in Perfon com- 
 manded his Guards to take her^ but were fo 
 warmly received by Sir Cloudejly Shovell ( who 
 all this while continued aboard the Yacht ) and 
 his Boats, that they were glad to retire in Confii- 
 fion. 
 
 The next Year Sir Cloudejly had the Honour of 
 conducing King William IIL the Prince of Den- 
 mark, with many other Perfons of the Firft Rank, 
 to Ireland : But what moft redounded to his An- 
 vantage at that Time was, That it prevented his 
 being prefent at one of the moft difgraceful Ani- 
 ons that ever happened at Sea to the Englijh/ I 
 mean the Engagement near Beachy-Head, where 
 the Dutch leading thl^Van, and being not timely 
 feconded by the Englijl, under the Command of 
 the Earl of Twnnpon, were moft miferably feat- 
 tered,and the French play'd the Lord and Mafter in 
 tfie Channel for feme time.

 In the Year 1692. Sir Cloudejly Shovett had 9 
 confiderable Share in that victorious Engagement 
 fought near La Hogue, wherein the French Fleet 
 fuffered fuch a Lofs as they have not been able to 
 repair to this Day, nor ever to difpute the Domi- 
 nion of the Narrow Seas with the English; it being 
 certain, that the greateft Part of the French Fleet 
 engaged the Squadron where Sir Cloudejly Sbovell 
 commanded at that Time as Rear- Admiral; which 
 Squadron aifo was-the fame that did that terrible 
 Execution ztLaHogue, where they deftroy'd Thir- 
 teen of the bed French Men of War. 
 
 No fooner was Admiral fejjelLiq 1694. fail'd for 
 the Mediterranean, and another Squadron of Men 
 of War intruded to the Conduct of my Lord Berke- 
 ley and Sir Cloudejly Shovell, but the French took a 
 more than ufual Pains and Care to foi tifie and 
 guard their Coafts againft the Infults of the Eng- 
 lish and Dutch ; notwithstanding which, Diep felt 
 jthe moft direful Effe&s of their Bombs to its total 
 Deftru<5Hon ; and Havre de Grace, Dunkirk and Ca- 
 lais, had their Share in the Calamity, as well in 
 this as the next fucceeding Year. 
 
 Sir Cloudejly Shovett, in Conjunction ^ith Ad- 
 miral Rujjell, did a moft fignal Piece of Service to 
 the King and Nation., when the French were medi- 
 tating a Defcent upon the intended Alfaffination 
 of the King ; but no fooner underfipod that the 
 Deiign was difcovered, and the Fleet put under 
 the Command of Two fuch great and moft faith- 
 ful Commanders, but they difperfed ch^ir Troops, 
 and their Men pf War, as well as Tranfport- Ships, 
 had no other Means left to Shelter themfelves a- 
 gainft the brave Attempts of the Englijlj Navy, but

 the unacceffibie Sands of Dunkirk and Calais. 
 
 In the Ye^r ijpz. after the Mifcarriage of our 
 jNaval Expedition againft Cadiz,, and our happy 
 Succefs at Vigo, Sir Cloudejly Shovell was fent with 
 a Squadron to affift in the laft of thefe Two En- 
 terprises ; but coming too late, had only the Sa- 
 tisfaction of conducing the Treafure we had gained 
 there fafely into our Ports. 
 
 In 170;. Sir Cloudejly Shovell conducted the Eng- 
 lish and Dfitcb Auxiliaries into Portugal, and freed 
 the Portuguejes from the Dread they were in at that 
 Time of the French, on Account of the late Alli- 
 ance concluded with us - alarm'd the Sfanijh 
 Coafts, renewed the Peace with the Governments 
 of Tripoly, Tunis and Algiers. 
 
 Upon the Return of Sir George Rooke with the 
 Royal Fleet from Barcelona to Lisbon, after a fruit- 
 Jefs Expedition in Catalonia, he was no fooner 
 join d by Sir Cloudejly Shovell, but Fortune feem'd 
 to declare for the Confederates; for they not only 
 took Gibraltar, but alfo engaged the French Fleet 
 pot long after, and made them retire to Thoulon 
 2nd Marfeilles : In this Engagement, Sir Cloudejly 
 Shovell and Sir John Leak leading the Van, ad- 
 vanced againft the French Fleet with all the Sail 
 they could make to bring them to a clofe Engage- 
 ment^ and broke into their Lines, and afterwards 
 jwere very Inftrumental in relieving the Admirals 
 Ship, and fome others, who were very hard put 
 to it by the Enemy. 
 
 In the Year 1706. Sir Cloudejly Shovell being 
 joind in Commiffion with the Earl of Peterborough, 
 
 as

 as chief Admirals of the Grand Fleet, this Great 
 Commander was highly Inftrumental in reducing 
 the City of Barcelona and Catalonia, not only but 
 aifo afterwards the Kingdoms of Valencia and Ar- 
 ragon, under the Obedience of King Charles III. 
 of Spain. 
 
 In the Year 1707. S&CloudeJly Shovell, with the 
 Enghjh and Dutch Fleets, was ordered to affift at 
 the Redu&ion of Thoulon at Sea, whilft the Duke 
 and Prince of Savoy fhould. attack it by Land: 
 The firfl: Check the Duke of Savoy met with in 
 this Expedition, was at the paffing of the River 
 Var 3 where meeting with a vigorous Oppofition 
 from the Trench Troops pofted in their ftrong In- 
 trenchments, the Victory remained dubious till 
 inch time that Sir Ckitdefly commanded 60c Men 
 of his Fleet to land and charge the French in the 
 Flank ; which being done accordingly, the Enemy 
 fled, without making any further Oppofition. 
 
 A few Days before the Siege of Thoulon began, 
 the Duke of Savey, Prince Eugene of Savoy, with 
 feveral Perfons of Note, paid a Vifit to our Ad- 
 miral on Board the- Afjociation, who entertained 
 them with 'an extraordinary Magnificence, and 
 had the utmoft Demonft ration of Efteem and 
 Gratitude paid him by the Duke and Prince of 
 voyi wh<^ being afterwards forced to raife the Siege, 
 Sir ClouJejiy took his Leave of the French wich 
 moft furious Cannonading and Bombardment, , 
 which deftroy'd 8 of the Enemy's Capital Men oi 
 War in the very Harbour of Thoulon. ; 
 
 * ' ' ' i 
 Sir Cloudejly Shovell was returning, homewards ir ( 
 siutmnv with Part of the E^/i/j? Fleet, when in th< ' 
 flight, betwixt the 21ft and 22d of Offofar, the] 8

 fell in unfortunately with the Rocks of Scilly, 
 called The Bijhop and his Clerks, the Jjjociation, on 
 which our Admiral was on Board himfelf, ftruck, 
 and funk in an Inftant j and his Body being caft a- 
 fhore in the Ifle of Scilly, with many more, was 8 
 carried to TUmomh, where, after it had Iain in 
 State in the Citadel, it was from thence carried to 
 London, under the Difcharge of the Cannon and 
 fmall Arms of the Garrifon, the Mayor and Alder- 
 men attending the Hearfe in their Formalities 
 out of the Town, and was buried in great Pomp 
 in this Church. 
 
 For the reft, as Sir Cloudejly Shovett was a Perfon 
 of uncommon Courage,, fo his Conduit and Pru- 
 dence were confpicuous both at Home and Abroad 5 
 witnefs thofe great A&ions he perform^ and the 
 Efteem paid him by the King of Spain, Portugal, 
 and the Duke of 'Savoy. 
 
 .ttipnf groins norn 
 At Home,it was very remarkable: That whereas 
 moft of^ if not all, the great Sea- Commanders of his 
 Time were at one Time or other out of Com- 
 mand 3 he was the only Perfon among them,, who 
 never was difturb'd with any Difappointmenrs of 
 this Nature j his Condud being fuch as feem'd to 
 be above the Reach, not only of his Adverfaries, 
 but even of Fortune it felf. t 
 
 As for his Bravery and Courage,, there needs tib 
 other Inftances of them., than that in all the Sea- 
 Engagements, he always chofe to lead the Van, 
 and always came off with Honour : And his Expe- 
 rience in Sea- Affairs was moft eminently Conlpi- 
 cuous in that moft terrible and not to be parallel d . 
 Tempeft feme Years ago, wherein Admiral Beau- 
 mont, and feveral other brave Marine Officers, 
 
 being

 being cail away, with their Ships, he rid out this 
 ftupendious Storm, to the Admiration of all that 
 were not fully acquainted with his Experience in 
 Marine Affairs, and of thofe skilfu; Sailors that 
 ufed always to crowd about him to fcrve a-board 
 his Ship, becaufe he was to them rather like a Fa- 
 ther than a Commander. 
 
 His Temperance, Humanity, and Affability in 
 Converfation, were the more eminent in him, as 
 his Education and conftant Way of Living, from 
 his Infancy, had expofed him to the Converfation 
 chiefly of Marine Officers and others yet he had 
 nothing of that rugged Humour, which fo near 
 refembles that ungovernable Element, upon which 
 he had fpent the greateft Part of his Life, nor of 
 thofe extravagant Paffions which are fo frequently 
 obferved in the Seafaring Generation, no more 
 than of that Excefs of Drinking which is fo com- 
 mon among them. 
 
 As his Clemency to the Vanquifli'd, and his In- 
 dulgence to thofe under his Command, were high- 
 ly to be admired ; fo his Moderation was fuch, as 
 carried him through all the Difficulties and Obfta- 
 cles raifed by the feveral contending Parties, with- 
 out blemifh. 
 
 His' Piety and Kindnefs did not only extend 
 themfelves to his Mother and Sifter, but alfo to the 
 more remote Branches of his Family. The Two 
 firft had a plentiful Share of his good Fortunes, 
 and the laft were often obliged to his Generofity, 
 as well as his Domefticks, and others, whom he 
 thought deferving of his Encouragement and Pro- 
 tection. 
 
 / 
 
 His

 His Courage and Conduit abroad^throughout all 
 the great Adions of his Life, feem'd to be fo for- 
 tunately feconded by his judicious Prudence at 
 Home ; that as he never intermeddled into thofe 
 Party -Difputes which have often moft unhappily 
 divided the Church and State, fo he was the Fa- 
 vourite both of the Government and of the People. 
 
 Neither was his K,ind-nefs and Gratitude to his 
 Lady, the Widow of Sir John Narborcugb, lefs com- 
 mendable than any of the other of his uncommon 
 Qualifications ; for he not only treated her with 
 all imaginable Civility and Tendernefs becoming 
 a kind Husband, but keeping in Remembrance alfb 
 the fingular Benefits he had received from Sir John 
 Narborough, he retaliated upon the Sons of that 
 Gentleman (he having none of his own) Part of 
 what he owed to their Father ; and he judged he 
 could not provide in a more generous and ene&ual 
 Manner for their future Fortune, than to make 
 them the Companions of his A&ions abroad : But 
 Fate had decided it otherwife, they being involved 
 in the fame Misfortune, and drowned with him 
 near the faral Rocks of SciUy. 
 
 Tho 5 Sir Cloudejly Shovell died without Male-Iffue, 
 he left Two beautiful and virtuous Daughters 
 ( by the faid Lady Narbcrougb) behind him • the 
 eldeftof which is married to Sir Robert MarfljamBsir. 
 a Gentleman of a confiderable Eftate and ancient 
 Family in Kent. 
 
 To conclude, He died in the midft of his Glory, 
 when he was dear both to his Royal Miftrefs,, and 
 to all her moft faithful Subject and confequently 
 lamented by all ; and her Majeftv, as a Reward 
 
 of

 Oh the fame Side of the Wall of the South- 
 Croft, between Ghaucer and Drayton, is ere&ed 
 (by Sir Simon Harcourt Kt.) a very curious Monu- 
 ment of white Marble to the Memory of Mr .John 
 Thilips, in which his Effigies is reprefented by a 
 fide-way Bufie, entwin d with Grapes, Apple and 
 Pear Branches, and this Motto over his Head in a 
 Scroll: 
 
 Honos erit httic quoque^Pomo ? 
 
 The Excellency of his Genius confifted in a 
 happy Imitation of the Ancients in his Latin, and 
 of Milton in his English Performances. He was 
 firft known by a fmall Poem that appeared in Print 
 without his Knowledge, (tfio' fome Years after he 
 obliged the World with a more correct Copy) 
 Intituled, The Splendid Shilling, in Imitation of 
 Milton : And in the Year 1704, he publifh'd, 
 Blenheim, a Poem, which he infcrib'd to the Right 
 Honourable Robert Harley Efq; Anno 1708, came 
 out, Cyder, a Poem, in Two Books, (long ex- 
 pe&ed by his Friends) which, with a Latin Ode, 
 infcrib'd to Henry St. John Efq; is all we have Ex- 
 tant of this admirable Poet, 
 
 He was the Son of Dr. Stephen Philips, Arch- 
 Deacon of Salop, born at Bampton in Oxfordshire 
 Decemb. 30. 1676. and died at Hereford, Fcbr. 15". 
 1708. as appears by che Infcription on his Monu- 
 ment, to which, for his true Chara&er, I refer; 
 but muft obferve to the Reader, that he will 
 find a Difference in the under-written Copy, and 
 the prefent Infcription, occafion'd as follows, viz. 
 On Monday, Sept. 4. 1710. I went to JVefiminfier to 
 rranfcribe the Infcription, and as I had got to the* 
 
 Words/ 
 
Jin A p p e i**> i x; 
 
 Words, Khythmo didkerat, I was interrupted by a 
 Perfon of Quality, who told me, I muft defift 
 from what I was about, for that there was an Al- 
 teration to be made, and if I would come the 
 next Day I might be welcome to proceed j upon 
 which., I put up my Papers, and feemed as if I 
 intended to remove to another Part of the Church : 
 My Lord went out, and I immediately return'd to 
 the Monument, and was inform'd by a Gentler 
 man, That the Two under-written Lines were to 
 be eras'd, and that his Lordfhip had forbid the 
 cutting of em, when he was fhewn the Infcription 
 in writing, viz,* 
 
 Uniy in hoc laudis gensre, Miltono ficundm 3 
 Trimoque fcene par. 
 
 Upon which Notice, notwithftanding the Prohr 
 bition, I was the more eagerly refolv'd to go 
 on, and foon finifh'd my Copy, Now for what 
 keafon this Rafure is made, isbeft known to his 
 Lordfhip ; but I muft own 3 1 was not a little glad 
 of having the Infcription, as it was originally com- 
 pos'd by the learned Dr. Smalrldge^ to inlert in 
 this Work.

 May th& 2d, 1710. Mr. Thomas Betterton, the late 
 eminent Tragedian, was likewife buried with great 
 Decency in the Cloyfter : There is no Monument 
 as yet fet up in Remembrance of him. Befides, 
 the great Reputation he acquired as an A£tor, 
 Three Plays were written, or tranflated by him, 
 and brought on the Stage with Succefs ; The Wo- 
 man made a Jufiice ; The Unjujl Judge, or Afpius 
 and Virginia • and, The Amorous Widow, or, The 
 Wantm Wife. He never would fuffer any of them 
 to be printed ; but The Amorous Widow, from a fur- 
 reptitious Copy, vifited the World after it had 
 been a&ed almoft Twenty Years, in all the Thea- 
 tres, with the greateft Applaufe. For a more 
 particular Account of Mr. Betterton, who was 
 reckon d the moft complete Player that ever trod 
 the Englifo Stage, I refer you to his Life, lately pub- 
 lifli'd under the following Title : 
 
 The Life of Mr. Thomas Betterton, the late Emi- 
 nent Tragedian : Wherein the A£Hon and Utterance of 
 the Stage, Bar, and Pulpit, are diftin&ly confJerd. 
 To which is added, The Amorous Widow, or. The 
 Wanton Wife: A Comedy. Written by Mr. Betterton. 
 Now firft Printed from the Original Copy. With 
 his effigies, curioufly Engraven from a Tainting of 
 Sir Godfrey Kneller.
