KING HENRY, February 12, A. D. 1441, found-
ed a College at Cambridge, dedicated it to St. Nicholas,
called the King's College of St. Nicholas, Cambridge;
which at firft confifted of a Rector, and twelve Scholars

He afterwards enlarged this plan, and by a Charter
bearing date July 10, A. D. 1443, erected a new Founda-
tion at Cambridge, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St.
Mary and St. Nicholas, commonly called the King's Col-
lege of Bleffed Mary and St. Nicholas of Cambridge. This
new Foundation, exclufive of Conducts, Chorifters, and

ghix The annual election into the Colleges of Eton
and King's, is at the end of July or beginning of Auguſt,
at the appointment of the two Societies; and the Alumni
or Scholars of Eton, at the expiration of three years from
the day of their admiffion into King's College, are elected
Fellows of the College.
This Catalogue of Alumni Etonenfes, with few
variations, is copied from Mr. Pote's edition. The MSS.
of Hatcher, of the year 1555; of Scott, a Fellow Commoner
of the College; of Edward Hinde, of the year 1594; of
Goad, of the year 1620; and of Allen, of the year 1702,
have been carefully compared; and biographical accounts
have been ſelected from them, as well as from the works
of Fuller, Strype, Wood, Walton, Walker, Bayle, Lloyd, Le
Neve, Ward, Granger, from the General Dictionary, the Bio-
graphia Britannica, and other authentic fources.
Some part of the following pages was undertaken
feveral years ago, for the amufement of the Collector
alone, even before he knew that there were biographical
notices in MSS. of many of the Members of thefe Col-
leges.

leges. It afterwards occurred to him, that by extracting
from various biographical works fhort accounts of the
moft eminent of them, he might preſent an agreeable and
acceptable work to all thofe, who, like himſelf, had re-
ceived their early education within thofe celebrated
walls.
wold May the Sons of Eton College continue to dig-
nify and adorn the learned profeffions of this kingdom, to
the improvement of every branch of ſcience, and of
ufeful and polite literature; and may they rival their pre-
deceffors in that learning and thofe virtues, for which
moft of them have been fo eminently diftinguifhed, and
prove themſelves worthy of thoſe benefits which the piety
and liberality of the Founder have fo bountifully beſtow-
ed upon them.

Come to does not however appear, that he ever

of his great learning and abilities, and was employed by him in the foun-

in the Chapel of that College, and was poffeffed of fourteen ecclefiaftical
preferments; as by a pardon to the College in the time of King Edward
the Fourth, he was fo ftiled. Another account fays, that he was born at
Shincliffe, a ſmall village, about a mile diftant from the City of Dur-
ham; fuppofed to have been defcended from mean parents, and that his
father was a fieve-maker, from whence his name was derived. He was
educated at Oxford, as the authors of the Hiftory of Weftmoreland and
Cumberland relate (Vol. II. p. 276) probably either at Glouceſter or
Durham College, nurferies for the Benedictines, of which order he was
bb
a member. He was Chancellor of Oxford, Abbot of St. Mary's in York,
in 1485, and Bishop of Carliſle in 1496, when he held his Abbacy in Com-
mendam. In 1502, he was tranflated to Durham, and died in 1505,
and was buried in the Abbey of St. Mary. But this latter account feems
rather to allude to William Sever, the Bishop of Durham.

WILLIAM WAYNFLETE, December 21, 1442. Hen. VI. 21. Was the
fon of Richard Patten, of Waynflete, in Lincolnſhire (whence he took
his furname) by Margaret, daughter of Sir William Brereton, Knight,
and was brother to John Patten, Dean of Chicheſter, and Richard Pat-
ten, of Baſelow, in Derbyshire, whofe defcendants were living there in the
reign of King James the Firft. He was fent to ſchool in his own country,
afterwards to Wincheſter and Oxford. His firft preferment was that of
Schoolmaster of Winchefter, the duty of which having difcharged twelve
years, he was made Provoſt of this College by the Founder, and advanced
to the Bishoprick of Winchefter, upon the death of Cardinal Henry
Beaufort, in April, 1447. He remained a confidential fervant and faith-
ful minifter of his royal benefactor. He had the honour of baptizing the
young Prince of Wales, by the name of Edward, in 1453. In October,
1456, he was appointed Lord High Chancellor of England, in the room
of Thomas Bouchier, Archbishop of Canterbury. July 7, 1460, he was
with the King at Northampton, a few days before the fatal battle near

that town, in which he was defeated. He refigned the office of Lord
Chancellor, and lived till the 11th of Auguft, 1486, having held the fee
of Winchefter twenty-nine years. He was interred in his own cathedral.
He was eminent for his piety, his amiable and obliging temper, and his
unbounded charity to the poor. Nor was his love for learning, and his
zeal for the promotion of it, lefs confpicuous. He collected many rare
and valuable books in the ancient languages, and founded Magdalen
College, in Oxford, one of the richeſt Societies in Europe.

JOHN CLERC, July 3, 1447.

Fellows of Eton College. He died November 7, 1447, four months
after his appointment to the Provoſtſhip.

Eton, February 22, 1503. He was a confiderable benefactor to Eton
College, and built a fmall Chapel adjoining to that of the College. He
was Canon of Windfor in 1504, and died in 1540.
ROBERT ALDRICH, or ALDRIDGE, June 21, 1536. Hen. VIII. 28-
called in Latin Aldrifius, was born at Burnham, in Buckinghamshire; en-
tered at King's College, 1507. Although he lived in the twilight of
Religion, he is juftly to be placed in the light, not dark fide of Reforma-
tion.
For though his actions were weak, his affections were fincere. He
was Proctor of the Univerfity in 1525; in 1529, he retired to Oxford, and
took his Degrees in Divinity in 1530. He was Mafter of Eton School,

and afterwards Fellow and Provoft of the College. He became Arch-
deacon of Colcheſter; in 1534, Canon of Windfor, and in 1537, Biſhop
of Carlifle. He was Regiftrar of the Order of the Garter, in the room of
Dr. Richard Sydenore, Archdeacon of Totnefs. He died at Horncastle,
in Lincolnshire, in a houſe belonging to his fee, in the reign of Queen
Mary, 1555. He was a familiar correfpondent with Erafmus, who ftiled

THOMAS SMITH, December 29, 1547, Edward VI. 1. LL. D. and a Knight; a
learned English writer, and Secretary of State in the reign of Edward the
Sixth and Queen Elizabeth; he was born at Walden, in Effex, in 1512,
and not according to Camden in 1514; for he tells himſelf in his "Book-H
" of the Common Wealth of England," that March 28, 1565, he was
in his 54th year. He was the fon of John Smith, gent. and Agnes Char-
nock, of an ancient family in Lancashire. His father was high Sheriff of
Effex and Hertford, in the year 1538, and was a perfon of confiderable
property. It is probable that Thomas Smith was educated in his native
town, as after his advancement at Court, he caufed to be erected into a
royal foundation by King Edward the Sixth, an old ſchool in the town, and
endowed it with two mills, and an annuity of twelve pounds a year, payable
out of the manor of Willingale-Spain, in Effex. At the age of twelve or
thirteen he was fent to Queen's College, Cambridge, where he fo diftinguiſhed
himſelf, that, together with John Cheke, he was chofen one of King Henry
the Eighth's fcholars, who allowed him an annual ftipend. In 1531, he
was elected fellow of his College. He now ftudied Greek with fo great at-
tention, that in 1535 he was appointed to read the public Greek lecture in

the Univerſity. On which occafion, obferving the barbarous pronunciation
of that language, he, together with Cheke, introduced a new way of pro-
nouncing it, which was univerfally approved. In 1536, he became Uni-
verſity orator, which office he filled with great applaufe. Not fatisfied
with this improvement and thefe honours, he commenced his travels in
1539. At Padua he ftudied the Civil Law, and was doctor in that faculty.
After his return in 1 542, he retired to his College, and became the King's
Profeffor of Civil Law, after having taken the degree of Doctor. He was
now eſteemed the beft fcholar in the Univerfity, and took pupils, among
whom were Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and John Ponet, afterwards
Biſhop of Winchefter. He was made Chancellor of Fly, by Bishop Good-
ric. He not only improved the Greek pronunciation, but endeavoured to do
the fame to the English language, by writing a treatife to that purpoſe. He
was a great promoter of the reformation, and it is faid, took Deacon's orders.
It is at leaſt certain, that he was Rector of Leverington, in Cambridgeſhire,
and foon after Dean of Carlisle. In thofe days a rectory might have been
held by any one who was a clerk at large. For although the law of the
Church was, that in fuch a cafe he ſhould take the order of Priesthood within
one year after his inftitution, yet that was frequently excufed. Upon the
acceffion of Edward the Sixth, he removed from Cambridge into the family
of the Duke of Somerfet. He was of great affiftance to him in affairs of
ftate, and was made Malter of Requeſts to the Duke, Steward of the Stan-
naries, and Provoft of Eton. He married, while he was in the Protector's
family. In 1548, he was appointed Secretary of State, and knighted. In
July that year, he went with his brother in law, Mr. Chamberlayne, as Am-
baffador to Bruffels, to the Emperor's Council there; but returned in Sep-
tember. In 1549, he was appointed one of the Vifitors of the Univerſity of
Cambridge, and employed in an ecclefiaftical commiffion to examine Ana-
baptifts and Arians. At the time of Somerfet's troubles, he was difmiffed
his office, but foon reftored again. In 1551, he was appointed to go in
the fplendid embaffy to Henry the Second of France, to treat of a marriage
between that King's eldeft daughter and Edward the Sixth. But upon
Queen
I

Queen Mary's acceffion to the throne, his power and profperity were at an
end. He was then deprived of all his honours and preferments, and charg-
ed not to depart the kingdom. He behaved however with fuch prudence,
that he was protected by the Pope, and allowed 1ool. a year for his fup-
port. He was favoured by Bishop Gardiner, and not moleſted by Bonner.
At the acceffion of Queen Elizabeth he was invited to Court, and employed in
fettling the public affairs, and in revifing and amending the Book of Com-
mon Prayer. He is faid to have been the author of the alteration or refor-
mation of Religion, drawn up in 1558, and printed at the end of Biſhop
Burnet's hiſtory of the Reformation. He was reinftated in the Deanry of
Carliſle, but not in his office of Secretary of State. In 1559, he was fent
with other commiffioners into France, to fettle a peace between Great
Britain and France. In 1562, he was fent ambaffador to that kingdom,
where, with Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, he demanded the reftitution of
Calais; but without obtaining it, he concluded a peace in 1564. He
afterwards refided in that country, where he corrected and printed Dr.
Haddon's Anfwer to Hierom Oforio's Letter to Queen Elizabeth, ex-
horting her to return to popery. There he finished his Treatife of the
"Common Wealth of England." It was written both in Latin and Eng-
liſh. In the beginning of 1566, he returned to his native country. In
March, 1567, he went ambaffador extraordinary to France, to demand
Calais from the French. He again returned in 1568. In 1571, he was
made a Privy Councellor. In June that year, he was appointed Affiftant
to Lord Burleigh, Secretary of State. He was now unfuccefsfully engaged
in tranfmuting iron into copper. In December, he went again to France,
to make an alliance between England and that Crown; and to treat pri-
vately about the match between Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Alen-
con. He again returned in 1572. While he was abroad, the Queen
made him Chancellor of the Order of the Garter; and in June that year
became once more Secretary of State. He obtained a large grant of land in
Ireland, which proved very expenfive to him; and which his family could
never obtain, notwithstanding repeated applications in feveral following reigns.

In 1575, he was principally concerned in framing the act of parliament for Ox-
ford and Cambridge, and the Colleges of Eton and Winchefter; ftating, that
in all College leafes, at leaft a third part of the old rent fhould be referved and
paid in corn. He died after a long and painful illness on the 12th of Auguft,
1577, in the fixty third year of his age. He left his Latin and Greek Books
to Queen's College Cambridge, with a great globe of his own making, and a
rent charge of twelve pounds feven fhillings and four-pence. Strype fays,
he was one of the beft fcholars of the age, a great admirer of the platonic
philofophy; a good phyfician and chymift; an excellent mathematician,
aftronomer, and arithmetician; and what is yet better, his life and manners
were irreproachable. He was twice married, but left no iffue; his eftates
defcended to his brother's fon, whofe pofterity have ever fince enjoyed
them.
HENRY COLE, July 13, 1554.
Mar. 2. Was born at Godfhill, in the Ifle of
Wight, and educated at Wykeham's School, at Winchefter; from thence
he was elected into New College, Oxford, of which he became perpetual
Fellow in 1523, and there ſtudying the Civil Law, took the Degree of
Bachelor, March 3, 1530. He then travelled into Italy, and improved
himſelf in his ftudies at Padua, being a zealous Roman Catholick. Not-
withſtanding which, upon his return to England, he acknowledged the
Supremacy of Henry the Eighth. In 1540, he took his degree of Doctor of
Civil Law, and the fame year refigned his Fellowſhip, being then fettled
in London, an Advocate in the Court of Arches, Prebendary of Yatminſter
Secunda in the Church of Sarum, and became about the fame time Arch-
deacon of Ely. On the eleventh of September 1540, he was made Rector
of Chelmsford, in Effex; and October the fifth following, collated to the
Prebend of Holborn, which he refigned April 19, 1541, and was the fame
day collated to that of Sneating; which on the 22d of March following, he
exchanged for that of Wenlakefburn. October 4, 1542. he was elected
Warden of New College. In 1545, he was Rector of Newton Longville,
in Buckinghamshire. After Queen Mary's acceffion to the crown, he
became a rigid Roman Catholic; and in 1554, was made Provoft of Eton,
of

of which College he was alfo Fellow; and was Doctor of Divinity. In the
laft reign he was a favourer of the Reformation, a great admirer of Peter
Martyr, a frequenter of the Proteftant Service, and a receiver of the Holy
Communion after their way, and recommended the reformation in the
Church of St. Martin, called Carfax, in Oxford; but he now became as
ftrenuous an advocate of the Roman Catholic religion, as before his firſt
alteration in opinion. In 1551, he refigned his Wardenfhip, and, in the
following year, his Rectory. He was one of the divines that difputed
publicly at Oxford with Archbishop Cranmer and Biſhop Ridley. He was
alfo appointed by Queen Mary to preach a fermon before the execution of
Cranmer at St. Mary's Church, Oxford. While Cole was haranguing,
Cranmer, who was placed on a kind of ftage over againſt the pulpit, expreff-
ed great inward confufion, often lifting his eyes and hands to Heaven, and
frequently pouring out floods of tears. He was appointed one of the com-
miffioners to vifit the Univerfity of Cambridge; was elected Dean of St.
Paul's the 11th of September, 1556; became Auguft 8, 1557, Vicar
General of the Spiritualities under Cardinal Pole, Archbishop of Can-
terbury; and on the firft of October following, Official of the Arches, and
Dean of the Peculiars; and in November, Judge of the Court of
Audience. In 1558, he was appointed one of the overfeers of that Car-
dinal's will. He wrote "Letters to John Jewell, Biſhop of Saliſbury,”
inferted in the Bifhop's works, concerning the State of Religion. He
wrote alfo an account of the " Difputation with Archbishop Cranmer
"and Bifhop Ridley, in the Divinity School at Oxford;" Ann, 1554.
"A Funeral Sermon, at the burning of Dr. Thomas Cranmer, Arch-
"bishop of Canterbury;" and fome other works. In the first year of
Queen Elizabeth's reign, he, with Jofeph White, Biſhop of Wincheſter,
and fix other zealous Catholic divines, difputed publicly at Weſtminſter
with as many Proteftant divines, when that Queen was about to fettle a
reformation in the Church of England. But this difputation, in which Dr.
Cole was the leader, coming to nothing, he was deprived of his Deanry,
fined 500 marks, and imprifoned. He died in, or near to Wood-ftreet

in Arts, and was chofen Fellow, when he proceeded A. M. in 1570, he
read for that Degree on the Almageft of Ptolemy, which procured him
the reputation of a man wonderfully fkilled in Mathematics, and the Greek
language. In the former fcience he read a voluntary public lecture for fome
time. He was Proctor of the Univerfity for two years together. In
1578, he travelled into France and other countries. At his return he
was made Tutor in the Greek language to Queen Elizabeth. In 1585,

he became Warden of Merton College, which he governed thirty-fix
years with great honour. In 1596, he was appointed Provoft of Eton
College; in which fociety he was careful to felect the moſt learned men;
among whom were Thomas Allen, John Hales, Thomas Savile, and Jonas
Montague, all of Merton College, the laft of which, whom he made an
affiftant in the ſchool, not a Fellow of the College, affifted him, as Allen
and Hales did, in his celebrated edition of Chryfoftom. He received the
honour of knighthood at Windfor in 1604, from King James, who would
have promoted him either in Church or State. In 1619, after the death
of his fon, he founded two lectures or profefforfhips in Geometry and
Aftronomy in Oxford, which he liberally endowed. In the preamble of
the deed, by which a falary was annexed to theſe two profefforſhips, it
is exprefsly faid, that " Geometry was almoft totally unknown and
"abandoned in England." In the beginning of the reign of James the
Firft, he was one of the learned men, to whom the province of tranflating
the Bible was configned. His name is in the fifth Clafs, among thoſe to
whom the four Gofpels, the Acts of the Apoftles, and the Apocalypfe were
allotted. One of the moſt important tranflations in the 16th century was
that of the firſt four Books of "Tacitus," and "the life of the Agricola,"
by Sir Henry Savile; the valuable notes that accompanied theſe tranſlations
were rendered into Latin by Gruter, and published at Amfterdam.
Ben Johnson has commended this work in an Epigram which begins with

He enriched the public libraries with various collections of rare
Books, and handfomely contributed to many public buildings. He died
at Eton College, February 19, 1622; and was buried in the Chapel, under
a monument with this infcription:

apud Bradley juxta Halifax, in Comitatu Ebor: Ann: Dom: 1549, ultimo die menfis
Novembris, obiit in Collegio Etonenfi, Anno Domini 1621, XIX Die Menjis

As to his character both moral and literary, the higheft encomiums are
beſtowed on him by all the learned men of his time, by Ifaac Cafaubon,
Mercerus, Meibonius, Jofeph Scaliger, and the learned Bishop Montague.
His works are very learned and numerous.
Mr. Hobbs informed Mr. Aubrey, that Sir Henry Savile was ambi-
tious of being thought as great a fcholar as Jofeph Scaliger. But if in
the attainments of claffic literature he was inferior to Scaliger, in mathe-
matical knowledge Dr. Wallis declared him to be exceeded by none of his
contemporaries. He was a very handſome man, no woman had a fairer
complexion. Queen Elizabeth, to whom he explained Greek authors and
Politics, favoured him much; but he was fo fevere a Governour of
Eton College, that the fcholars hated him for his aufterity. To men of
wit he gave no encouragement. When a young ſcholar was named to him
as a good wit, he would reject him, and chufe the plodding ftudent.
Boyfe, who is ftyled by Savile, ingeniofiffimum et doctiffimum Boifium, a cele-
brated linguift, if Savile had not died, would have been a Fellow of Eton,
as having affifted him in his edition of St. Chryfoftom. John Earle, after-
wards Biſhop of Salisbury, being recommended to him as a wit, was the
only one of that character, to whom he extended his patronage. He

treated the Fellows of Eton with afperity; and his influence with the
Queen rendered all oppofition vain. When Mr. Gunter came from Lon-
don to be appointed his Profeffor in Geometry, he brought with him
his fector and quadrant, with which he began to refolve triangles, and to
perform ſeveral operations. This difgufted the grave Knight, who con-
fidered the operations as fo many tricks below the dignity of a Ma-
thematician, and he immediately conferred the Profefforfhip on another
candidate, Mr. Briggs from Cambridge. Mr. Aubrey learned from Dr.
Wallis, that Sir Henry Savile had fufficiently confuted Jofeph Scaliger's
tract" De Quadraturâ Circuli," in his notes on the very margin of the
book; and that, fometimes, when Scaliger fays, "A. B. C. D. ex
conftructione," Sir Henry adds with his pen,
CC et demonftratio veftra eft
« afinus ex conſtructione.” In his travels he had contracted a general
acquaintance with learned men abroad; by which means he had access to
feveral Greek MSS. in their libraries, and thus obtained correct copies by
his amanuenfis, who tranfcribed the Greek character with admirable ſkill.
Fronto Ducæus, a French Jefuit of Bourdeaux, clandeftinely engaged a
perſon to ſupply him, every week, with the fheets of Sir Henry Savile's
Greek edition of "the works of St. Chryfoftom," printed at Eton, of
which he compofed a Latin tranflation; and publiſhed "Chryfoftom's
"works," in Greek and Latin; thus fuperfeding the fale of the English
impreffion. Sir Henry Savile was a fplendid ornament of the fixteenth
century, a magnificent patron of learned men, a gentleman of polished
manners, of virtue, and of piety; equally celebrated for his univerfal
knowledge of ancient and modern learning. dilal nu noixalomos
THOMAS MURRAY, Feb. 23, 1621, Jac. I. 17. Was a Scotfman, defcended
from the ancient family of the Earl of Tullibardine; he was Tutor and
Secretary to Prince Charles, afterwards Charles the Firſt. His zeal in
oppofing the marriage of the Prince with the Infanta of Spain, occafioned
his impriſonment for fome time, along with Dr. George Hackwell,
Archdeacon of Surrey, the Author of " A Difcourfe againſt the Spanish

He was a gentleman of very high accompliſhments. He died on the
ninth of April 1623, aged 59; having been juſt before cut for the ſtone.
He was buried in the College Chapel. In the Cabala is a letter from Wil-
liams, Biſhop of Lincoln, on the appointment of Murray to the Pro-
voftſhip of Eton. In this letter he complains of "The Difpenfation
"given to him, who was a mere layman, to hold a place which was a
"living with cure of fouls ;" and hints a fufpicion of his being unfriendly
to the Church government, as eſtabliſhed in England. The King defigned
Sir William Beecher to fucceed him, but by the intreaties of his friends,
Sir Henry Wotton was appointed Provoft. Upon the death of Mr. Mur-
ray, the
great and unfortunate Bacon folicited the King to fucceed him in the
Provoſtſhip, to which the King replied " that he could not value his Lord-
fhip fo little, or conceive he limited his defires fo low; in which, how-
ever, he ſhould have been gratified, if he had not been engaged to Sir
"William Beecher, his Agent in France." Dr. Birch has given the

to the Marquis of Buckingham, dated April 11, 1623.

SIR HENRY WOTTON, July 24, 1624. Jac. I. 22. Eminent for learning
and politics, was born at Bocton Hall, in Kent, March 30, 1563. He
was fent to Wincheſter School, and from thence, in 1584, elected to New
College, Oxford. Here, living in the condition of a Gentleman Com-
moner, he had his Chamber in Hart Hall, adjoining; and for his Cham-
ber-fellow, Richard Baker, afterwards a Knight, and a well known
Hiftorian. He then removed to Queen's College, where he wrote a
Tragedy for the uſe of that houfe, called Tancredo. After much diftin-
guifhing himſelf for logic and philofophy, he travelled into France, Ger-
many, and Italy. After an abſence of nine years, he returned, and be-
came Secretary to the Earl of Effex. He left the kingdom upon the
apprehenfion of his Maſter. He was afterwards fent for home by King
James, who conferred the honour of Knighthood upon him, and fent him
Ambaffadour to Venice. After his return from Venice, he remained
without any employment for five years. It may be inferred from a letter to
Sir Edmund Bacon, dated June 8, 1614, and printed in the "Relliquiæ
Wottonianæ," p. 431, that Sir Henry Wotton was at that time a Member
of the Houfe of Commons. In 1715, he was Ambaffadour to the United
Provinces. After having been employed in various embaffies, about the
time of the King's death, he returned again to England. In 1624, he
became Provoft of Eton, being firft qualified by taking Deacon's Orders.
For this preferment he had many powerful competitors, and among
others, the great but unfortunate Bacon; and concerning his application
for it, there a re many letters extant between him and Secretary Conway.
The writings of Wotton fhew him to have been a man of a very florid
wit, and well acquainted with every branch of polite literature. On his
return from his feveral embaffies, he found himſelf reduced to great in-
digence,
5

15
digence, that at his election to the Provoftſhip taking place, July 24,
1642, it was remarked in a letter, dated Auguft the 7th following, that
when he went to the election at Eton, he was fo ill provided, that the
Fellows of the College were obliged to furnish his bare walls, and what-
ever elfe was wanting. In a letter to the Duke of Buckingham, after his
return from his laft ambaffage to Venice, he thus writes: "I am left ut-
terly deftitute of all poffibility to fubfift at home; much like thofe feal-
fishes, which fometimes, as they fay, overfleeping themſelves in an
ebbing water, feel nothing about them in a dry fhore when they are
"awake." He was inftituted to the Provoſtſhip, July 26, 1624, having
obtained the appointment by furrendering a Grant of the Reverſion of the
Maſterſhip of the Rolls, and of another office. The value of this prefer-
ment in the reign of Henry the Eighth, is known from the following
ftory: Sir Thomas Wyatt one day told the King, that he had found out a
living of one hundred pounds in the year more than enough, and prayed
him to bestow it on him. "Truly," faid the King," we have no fuch
" in England." "Yes, Sir," faid Sir Thomas, "The Provoftſhip of
"Eton, where a man has his diet, his lodging, his horfe-meat, his fer-
"vants' wages, his riding charges, and 100l. per annum befides."
k
Archbiſhop Laud, in the account of his Province of Canterbury, fent
to the King in the year 1624, gives this honourable teftimony to Sir
Henry Wotton's conduct in the government of his College: "For Eaton
College within that Diocefe (of Lincoln) I do not find but that the Pro-
"voft, Sir Henry Wotton, hath carried himfelf very worthily."-But
he remained ſtill in want of a fupply of money for neceffary ufes; he ap-
plied to his friend, Mr. Pey, to uſe his intereſt at Court, to procure him
five hundred pounds of his arrears, for lefs would not fettle him in the
College, and the want of fuch a fum, wrinkled his face with care, as he
expreffed it; and that money being procured, he fhould the next day
after find him in his College, and "Invidiæ remedium," written over his
ftudy door. Yet in a letter to the King in 1628, he requeſts that, when
the Rolls are difpofed of, his Majefty would be pleaſed to referve for him

fome ſmall proportion towards the diſcharge of fuch debts as he had con-
tracted in public fervice, and next to promife him the next good Deanry
that fhall be vacant by death or remove. And we find him in 1637, as a
poor fuppliant to the King, to confer upon him the Mafterſhip of the
Savoy, in cafe Dr. Belcanquel, his good friend, fhall be removed to the
Deanry of Durham. About this time he publifhed his "Elements of
"Architecture," a work of very great merit, and, in reality, the beſt
upon that fubject that had then appeared in the English language. Though
the King had actually granted a difpenfation to hold the Provoſtſhip
without going into orders, Sir Henry was ordained Deacon in 1627. In
the "Reliq. Wottonianæ," p. 323, 327, are two letters to the King,
one to make known his intention of entering into orders; the other to
inform him, that he had taken the degree of Deacon. Sir Henry Savile
and Mr. Murray, the predeceffors of Sir Henry Wotton, were both Lay-
And it is well known, that upon the death of Dr. John Meredith,
the great and good Mr. Boyle was, in 1665, nominated to the Provoſtſhip
of this College, but that his objection to entering into holy orders, was a
principal motive that induced him to decline the honour. Mr. Waller,
the Poet, was more than once a candidate for this office. King Charles
the Second referred his petition to the Council, "Who, after hearing the
queftion argued by Lawyers for three days, determined that the office
"could be held only by a Clergyman, according to the Act of Unifor-
"mity; fince the Provofts had always received inftitution, as
a Par-
"fonage, from the Bishop of Lincoln." (Dr. Johnfon's Life of Waller).
Shortly after he had been ordained, he came in his furplice from the Church
fervice, an old friend, a perfon of rank, met him, and wifhed him joy of
his new habit; to whom Sir Henry replied, "I thank God and the King,
"by whofe goodnefs I now am in this condition; a condition which that
"Emperour Charles the Fifth feemed to approve; who after fo many
"remarkable victories, when his glory was great in the eyes of all men,

devout meditations, confult with God, and have leifure both to examine

peftuous life, I now have the like advantage from him, that makes the
"outgoings of the morning to praise him; even from my God, whom I daily
magnify for this particular mercy of an exemption from bufinefs, a quiet
"mind, and a liberal maintenance, even in this part of my life, when
my age and infirmities feem to found me a retreat from the pleafures of
"this world, and invite me to contemplation, in which I have ever taken
"the greateft fecility." He was very fond of angling in the River Thames,
which he would ufually call, "His idle time not idly ſpent ;" often faying,
"that he would rather live five May months than forty Decembers."
Walton fays, that "Sir Henry had declared to him his intention of writ-
ing a Difcourfe of the Art, and in praife of Angling." But his death
prevented him. He generously encouraged thofe boys at the fchool, in
whom he could difcover the rays of genius and learning. For their ufe
he was at the charge of fetting up in the fchool room, now ufed for the
lower ſchool, two rows of pillars, on which he cauſed to be drawn the
pictures of many famous Greek and Roman Authors. He conftantly in-
vited one or two of the moft promifing boys to his apartments, to liften to
his converfation, and attend him at his meals. His fingular attention to
the education of the young nobility and gentry, who were fent to Eton,
tended much to recommend the fchool. Mr. Boyle, who wrote the
hiftory of the early period of his life, under the factitious name of Philaretus,
tells us, that he and his elder brother were fent, "To be bred up at Eton
College, near Windfor, whofe Provoft at that time was Sir Henry Wot-
ton, a perſon that was not only a fine gentleman himself, but very well
"fkilled in the art of making others fo; betwixt whom and the Earl of
"Corke, an ancient friendſhip had been conftantly cultivated by recipro-
"cal civilities."
45
Before he was well fettled in his College, he propoſed to write the
Life of Martin Luther, from which he was diverted by Charles the Firft,
who perfuaded him to undertake the Hiftory of England, in which he

advanced fo far as to write feveral characters of the Kings, and was par-
ticularly attentive to that of King Henry the Sixth, the Founder of his
College. Of this hiftorical work, a very fmall fragment is extant, writ-
ten in the Latin language with great elegance, and entitled, "Henrici VI.
Angliæ et Galliarum Regis, Hiberniæ Domini, Etonenfis ad Tamefin
Collegii Conditoris vita et exceffus." Upon the King's return from
Scotland, in 1633, Sir Henry Wotton wrote a Latin panegyric, printed
in the "Relliquiæ Wottonianæ," with this title, " Ad Regem e Scotia
"reducem Henrici Wotton Plaufus et Vota." But Sir Henry died in the
midft of his hiftory, and too foon for his papers to be of any ufe.
CC
The year before his death, he wrote his letter to Milton, who then
lived at Horton, near Eton, thanking him for his prefent of "Comus,"
which he calls," A dainty piece of entertainment; wherein, he fays, "I
"fhould much commend the tragical part, if the lyrical did not raviſh me
" with a certain doric delicacy in your fongs and odes, whereunto I muſt
plainly confefs to have feen yet nothing parallel in our language: ipfa

He was accuſtomed to pay an annual vifit to his native place, and

"their lives, recreations, hopes, fears, and deaths." In his laft illneſs,
he was conftantly vifited by the learned Mr. Hales, then a Fellow of the
College, an account of whofe life will be recorded in its proper place.
In his will, he left among other legacies, all his MSS. to the Library at
Eton; and to each of the Fellows, a plain ring of gold, enamelled black,
all except the verge, with this motto within, Amor unit omnia. He di-
rected in his will this Epitaph to be put over his grave, Hic jacet bujus

The following very beautiful Hymn was written by him in his fickness.

RICHARD STEWART, December 28, 1639, Car. I. 14. Was fprung from a
a genteel family in Northamptonshire, became a Commoner of Magdalen
Hall, Oxford, in 1608, was elected Fellow of All Soul's College in 1613,
then Bachelor of Arts. In 1628 he was made a Prebendary of Worceſter
Cathedral. In 1629 he had the Prebend of North Aulton, in the Church
of Sarum conferred on him; and about that time was made Chaplain to his
Majefty. In 1634, he became Dean of Chichefter, and foon after Clerk of
the Clofet; and Prebendary of Weftminſter in 1638. He was about this
time made Dean of St. Paul's; he was alfo Dean of the Chapel Royal; after-
wards Dean of Lincoln, and Prolocutor of the Convocation. He was ac-
counted a good poet and orator, a celebrated Divine, and eloquent Preacher.
In the time of the rebellion he fuffered much for his loyalty, was'deprived of
all theſe preferments, and obliged to retire into France. He was honoured
in his laft illneſs at Paris with two vifits from Charles the Second, who was
juft arrived from his eſcape at the battle of Worcefter. He died on the 14th

FRANCIS ROUS, 1643, Car. I. 18. Was the fon of Sir Anthony Rous, of
Halton, in Cornwall, and was burgefs for Truro, in that county, in the
reign of Charles the Firft. He was a Commoner of Broadgate-Hall in
1591, at the age of twelve years. He was a vehement declaimer in Par-
liament against the innovations and abufes in Church and State, and par-
ticularly againſt Arminianifm, which he reprefented as Popery in difguife.
He was one of the few Laymen appointed by the Commons to fit in the
Affembly of Divines at Weftminfter. He is faid to have entered into
Holy Orders, but of this there is no proof. He was appointed Speaker
of Barebone's Parliament, and made a wild propofal to form the Engliſh
Commonwealth after the model of the Jewish. But he afterwards thought
fit to inveft the regal power in Cromwell, whom he affected to look upon
as a compound of the characters of Mofes and Joſhua. He was one of thoſe
who were called by the Protector to the Upper Houfe, and it was faid,
"that he could not well do lefs than make that gentleman a Lord, who had
"made him a Prince." He was called "the illiterate Jew of Eton;"
but it does not appear in the leaft from his writings that he deferved that
appellation. He died at Acton in Middleſex, the 7th of January 1658, and
was buried in the College Chapel. There is a curious portrait of him
preſerved in the Provoft's apartments.
NICHOLAS LOCKYER, Jan. 14, 1658, Interreg. 10. Was born at Glaftonbury,

1649; and elected afterwards Provoft; of which preferment he was
deprived foon after the reftoration. He had been Chaplain to Cromwell,
and a frequent preacher before the Parliament. He was afterwards ejected
from the Churches of St. Bennet's Sheerhog, and Pancras Soper-Lane,
to which he had been nominated by the Parliament. He published in the

NICHOLAS MONK or LE MOYNE, 1660, Car. II. 1. Was the third fon of
Sir Thomas Monk, of Potheridge, in Devonshire, and brother to the
celebrated General, afterwards Duke of Albemarle. He lived fome
years upon a fmall benefice in that county; but was before the reſtoration
prefented by Sir John Greenville to the rectory of Kilkhampton, worth
about 300l. a year. He was afterwards employed by that gentleman, and.
fent to Scotland to engage the General to the King's fervice. It is probable
that the arguments he uſed had their due weight, but he could not prevail
with his brother to enter into confidence with him. His near relation to
the man that fet the King upon the throne, and his own perfonal fervices
entitled him to preferment. He was therefore adinitted Doctor of Divinity
at Oxford, by virtue of King Charles's Letters; was made Provoft of
Eton College, and foon afterwards promoted to the Bishoprick of
Hereford; but he could fcarcely be faid to enjoy this preferment, as
he died within a year after his promotion, on the 7th of December,
1661.

College, Oxford; and was for fome time Chaplain to the Earl of New-
burgh, Chancellor of the Dutchy of Lancafter, who gave him the
Maſterſhip of Wigfton's Hofpital at Leicefter. From his Mafterſhip, and
Fellowship of All Souls he was ejected in the time of the ufurpation;
about this time alfo he was deprived of his Rectory of Stanford-Rivers, in
Effex, by the Houſe of Lords, having enjoyed it but two years. He lived.

Taylor, Bishop of Downe and Conner, in Ireland. He was a perfon of
a generous fpirit, and very bountiful to the poor, to whom he left an

At his death Charles the Second, unfolicited, appointed the famous Mr.
Boyle, for his fucceffor; but after fome deliberation, he declined it; fup-
pofing the duties of the office would interfere with his ftudies; and being
unwilling to enter into Holy Orders, which he knew was neceſſary to qualify
him for it. The Provoſtſhip was then obtained of the King by Waller, the
Poet, who, as well as Boyle, had been educated at Eton; but when the
patent was brought to the Earl of Clarendon, the Chancellor, he refufed to
fet the Seal to it, alledging that by the Statutes of the College, Laymen
were ineligible. It is true that Thomas Murray, and, it is fuppofed, his
predeceffor Sir Henry Savile, were Laymen; but Sir Henry Wotton upon
confulting the Statutes of the College, took Deacon's Orders, and the
Provoſts have ever fince been Clergymen. Upon the death of Dr. Alleſtree
in 1688, Waller again applied for it, but to his great diſappointment Dr.
Cradock, a Fellow of the College, was chofen.
RICHARD ALLES TREE, Auguft 8, 1665, Car. II. 5. Was the fon of Mr. Col
Robert Alleftree or Alleftrey, who had been ſteward to Lord Newport, and
was born in March 1619, at Uppington, near the Wrekin, Shropſhire. He
was at firft educated at a free fchool in that neighbourhood, and afterwards
removed to one at Coventry, taught by Philemon Holland, the tranflator.
In 1636, being feventeen years of age, he was fent to Oxford; and entered
a Commoner in Chrift Church, under the tuition of Mr. Richard Bufby,
afterwards the well known Head-Mafter of Weftminſter School. Six

months after his fettlement in the Univerfity, Dr. Fell, Dean of Chrift
Church, having obferved the parts and induſtry of young Alleftree, made
him a Student of that College, where he applied himself to his ftudies with
great affiduity and fuccefs. When he had taken the Degree of Bachelor of
Arts, he was chofen Moderator in Philofophy, in which office he continued
till the diſturbances of the kingdom interrupted the ftudies and repofe of the
Univerſity. In 1641, Mr. Alleftree among other of the Oxford ftudents,
took arms for the King, under Sir John Biron, and continued fo, till that
gentleman withdrew from Oxford; when he returned to his ftudies. Soon
after, a party of the Parliament forces having entered Oxford, and plunder-
ed the Colleges, Mr. Alleftree, narrowly escaped being feverely handled
by them.
In October following, he again took arms, and was at the
battle fought betwixt the King and the Parliament forces, under the com-
mand of the Earl of Effex, upon Keinton field, in Warwickshire; after
which, underſtanding that the King immediately defigned to march to Ox-
ford, and take up his refidence at the Deanry of Chrift Church, he
haftened thither to make preparations for his Majefty's reception; but in his
way was taken prifoner by a party of horfe from Broughton-houfe, which
was garrifoned by Lord Say, for the Parliament; his confinement how-
ever was but ſhort, for the garrifon furrendered to the King. And now
Mr. Alleftree again fettled to his ftudies, and in the following ſpring
took his Degree of Mafter of Arts. The fame year he was in extreme
danger of his life by a peftilential diftemper which raged in the garrifon at
Oxford. As foon as he recovered, he entered again into his Majefty's
fervice, and carried a mufquet in a regiment formed out of Oxford ſcholars.
Nor did he in the mean time neglect his ftudies, "but frequently," as the
author of the Preface to his Sermons expreffes it, "holding the mufquet
<< in one hand, and the book in the other; making the watchfulneſs of
CC a foldier the lucubrations of a Student." In this fervice he continued till
the end of the war; then went into Holy Orders, and was chofen Cenfor of
his College. He had a confiderable fhare in that teftimony of his loyalty,
which the Univerſity of Oxford gave in their decree and judgment againſt

the folemn league and convenant. In 1648, the Parliament fent vifitors
to Oxford, to demand the fubmiffion of that body to their authority, thofe
who refuſed to comply were immediately profcribed; which was done by
writing their names on a paper, and affixing it on the door of St. Mary's
Church, fignifying that fuch perfons were, by the authority of the viſitors,
baniſhed the Univerſity, and defired to depart the precincts thereof within
three days, upon pain of being taken for fpies of war, and proceeded
againſt as fuch. Mr. Alleftree, among many others, was accordingly
expelled the Univerſity. He now retired into Shropshire, and was en-
tertained as Chaplain to the Hon. Francis Newport; and upon the
death of Lord Newport, that gentleman's father, in France, whither he
had fled to avoid the violence of the prevailing party, was fent over to
France, to take care of that Nobleman's effects. Having dispatched
this buſineſs with fuccefs, he returned to his employment, in which he
continued, till the defeat of Charles the Second at Worceſter. At this
time the Royalifts wanting an intelligent and faithful perfon to fend over to
Charles, Mr. Alleftree was folicited to undertake the journey, which he
accordingly did; and having attended him at Roan, and received his
difpatches, returned to England. In 1659, he again went over to Charles
in Flanders; but upon his return was feized at Dover by a party of
foldiers. He had the addrefs however to fecure his letters, by conveying
them to a faithful hand. The foldiers guarded him to London, where
he was examined by a Committee of the Council of Safety; and fent
prifoner to Lambeth Houfe, where he contracted a dangerous fickneſs.
After fix or eight weeks confinement, he was fet at liberty; and this
enlargement was perhaps owing to the profpect of an approaching Re-
volution; for fome of the heads of the Republican party, feeing a ten-
dency towards the reſtoration of Charles, were willing by kindneffes to
recommend themfelves to the Royal party, in cafe things fhould take
that turn. After he was fet at liberty, in his return from Shropshire,

wood, near Worcefter; he had the fad mortification to meet at the

ferves to be mentioned, becauſe that eminent divine left Mr. Alleftree
his valuable library of books, as a teftimony of his eſteem and affection.
Dr. Hammond died April 25, 1660. Soon after the reftoration Mr.
Alleftree was made a Canon of Chrift Church; at the fame time he
undertook one of the Lectureships of the city of Oxford, but never
received any part of the falary, for he ordered it to be diftributed
among the poor.

Divinity, and was appointed one of the King's Chaplains in Ordinary,
and foon after Regius Profeffor of Divinity. In 1665, he was made Pro-
voft of Eton College, after Mr. Boyle had refufed it, and it had been
refuſed to Mr. Waller, the Poet. In 1679, finding his health and fight
much impaired, he refigned his Profefforfhip of Divinity to Dr. Jane.
And now the decay of his conftitution terminating in a dropfy, he removed
to London, to have the advice of Phyficians; but medicines proving
ineffectual, he died in January 1680. In his laſt moments he received the
Eucharift, having defired thofe of his friends who were in London to com-
municate with him, the Archbishop of York, Biſhops of London, Lincoln,
Exeter, St. Afaph, Dr. Bufby, and Mr. Fell, a Fellow of Eton. He was
buried in Eton College Chapel, where a marble monument with a Latin
infcription, was erected to his memory. Forty Sermons in two volumes,

There is extant a letter written by Simon Greene, Mafter of Benet College
at this time, concerning a difpute which had long exifted between the two
Colleges. As it relates to this Provoft, and is a curious fpecimen of the
writing of thoſe days, I have tranfcribed it :-

many. Cardinal Wolfey chiefly relied on Fox for laying the plan of
his two magnificent Foundations at Oxford and Ipfwich; and through
him the Pope was reconciled to the endowment of them. In the
year 1527, he was Prebendary of Ofbaldwick, in the Cathedral of
York; and in the fame year was collated to the Maſterſhip of Sherborne
Hoſpital, near Durham. In 1535, he was raiſed to the See of Hereford;
and became one of the principal pillars of the reformation. He died in
London May 8, 1538, and was buried in the Church of St. Mary Moun-
thaw in that city. Godwin calls him, vir egregiè doctus. Short and active
as his life was, he yet found time to write a few pieces; he published a
book, De vera differentia Regia poteftatis et Ecclefiaftica, et quæ fit ipfa

17, 1537, he was admitted Mafter of St. John's College, Cambridge, and
the next year appointed Provoſt of King's; though it does not appear that

brother William was a young man, he fent to him with intreaties for money
to buy Books and other neceffaries that he wanted. But George anſwered,
knowing that his brother was a zealous Proteftant," that he held it not fit to
"relieve thofe that were not of the true Church, with the goods of the
"Church;" and therefore would not at any time in any cafe furnish his
wants.

the age of feventeen, and there made a great proficiency in the learned lan-
guages. After he had taken his degrees in Arts, he was chofen Lecturer of
the Univerfity. King Henry having founded, about 1540, a Profefforſhip
of the Greek tongue in the Univerfity of Cambridge, with a ftipend of forty
pounds a year, Cheke was chofen the firft Profeffor. He was at the fame
time Univerſity Orator. About 1543, he was incorporated at Oxford,
A. M. where he had ſtudied fome time. In 1544, he was appointed joint
tutor for the Latin tongue, with Sir Anthony Cooke, to Prince Ed-
ward; and one of the Canons in the new founded College at Oxford, now

ed a penfion inſtead of his Canonry. Upon the acceffion of Edward the
Sixth, he got an annuity of 100 marks, and a grant of land and manors;
and by virtue of the King's mandamus, was elected Provoft of King's
College, upon the deprivation of George Day. In 1549, he was one of
the Commiffioners for vifiting the Univerfity of Cambridge. He was alfo
one of the thirty-two Commiffioners appointed to compile a Body of Eccle-
fiaftical Law, from old Ecclefiaftical Law Books About this time, he
publiſhed his hiftory, called the Hurt of "Sedition." In 1550, he was
made Chief Gentleman of the King's Privy Chamber, and ftill continued to
be his tutor.
In 1551, his Majefty conferred on him the honor of knight-
hood. The year following he was made Chamberlain of the Exchequer for
life. In 1553, Clerk of the Council; and foon after, one of the Secre-
taries of State and a Privy Counfellor. The fame year the King granted

he moved about from place to place, till at length he fettled at Straſburgh, 18
where he was compelled to teach the Greek language for his fubfiftence.
He was waylaid at Bruffels, and, by the order of King Philip, put on board a
fhip blindfolded, and brought to the Tower of London. Two of the
Queen's Chaplains were fent to the Tower, to endeavour to reconcile him to
the Church of Rome, but without fuccefs. Dr. Feckenham, Dean of St.
Paul's, came afterwards to offer him the alternative, of " either comply or
"burn." Sir John could not withſtand this argument. Having made his
folemn fubmiffion to Cardinal Pole, the Pope's Legate, he was received
into the bofom of the Roman Catholic Church.Grief, fhame, and re-
morfe fhortening his days, he died September 13, 1557, aged 43, at the

Profeffor of Divinity; Prebendary of the feventh Stall in Ely Church;
Rector of Braintree in Effex, and Fenny-Ditton in Cambridgeshire. He
was deprived of thefe preferments in the ufurpation, but afterwards re-
ftored to the Profefforfhip, becaufe, fays the QUERELA, none of themselves
were able to discharge it. While at Eton School he gave great hopes of
becoming an eminent man. It is faid he was chofen Scholar of King's, in
oppofition to fix competitors, who made an extraordinary appearance (the
election being probably in favour of merit; not, as at prefent, in favour of
him who is in the higheft rank in the School) and at that time Dr. Goad, the
Provoft, clapping his hands on Collins's head, faid, "This is my Child,
"that if he live fhall be my heir and fucceffor." He was chofen Regius.
Profeffor in 1617. When the Rebellion began, he faithfully adhered to the

cot, who confented that Collins fhould have an annual ftipend paid him
from the common dividend allotted to the Provoft, which was continu-
ed to the time of his death. Whichcot left alfo one hundred pounds to W
Sir John Collins, the fon of the worthy Provoft. The reafons affigned
for depriving Collins of his living of Fenny-Ditton, were," his obferving

life, after his fequeftration. When the reformers had difpoffeffed him of
all but his Profefforfhip, he uſed pleaſantly to fay, that they might, if they
would, take his preferments, but he would never take their covenant. He had
poffeffed the Profeffor's Chair almoft thirty years, when they firft thought
fit to turn him out of it; and had fo well merited the reputation of a
great Scholar, that his name was famous, and his perfon defirable, in
every Proteftant Univerfity in Chriftendom. He was of admirable wit
and memory, and the moft fluent Latinift of his age. He read his lectures
twice a week for above forty years. He had once an offer of the Bishoprick
of Briftol, which he refufed.

JOHN HALES, May 24, 1613. Defervedly ftiled" the ever memorable;” was
born at Bath, in Somerfetfhire, in 1584; and educated in Grammar learn-
ing in that city. At the age of thirteen he was fent to Corpus Chrifti Col-
lege, in Oxford; and in 1605, he was chofen Fellow of Merton College,
by the intereſt of Sir Henry Savile, the Warden of that Society; who,
obferving the prodigious pregnancy of his parts, refolved to urge his
election; and employed him, young as he was, in his edition of St. Chry-
foftom. He was appointed to read the Greek lecture in his College, and
in 1612, was made Greek Profeffor of the Univerfity. Sir Thomas Bod-
ley, dying in 1613, Hales was chofen by the Univerfity to make his
Funeral Oration. In 1618, he accompanied Sir Dudley Carleton, Am-
baffadour to the Hague, as his Chaplain; and by this means procured ad-
miffion to the Synod of Dort, held at that time. He gave an account of
the Synod to Sir Dudley, in letters, printed afterwards in his "Golden
"Remains." He wrote a ſmall Tract concerning Schifm and Schifmatics,
for the ufe of his friend Chillingworth; which, while in manufcript, fell
into the hands of Archbishop Laud; who was difpleafed with fome paffages
in it, and occafioned Hales to draw up a vindication of himſelf. The
Archbishop alfo fent for him in 1638, to Lambeth, and after a conference
of feveral hours, appears not only to have been reconciled to him, but
to have admitted him into his friendſhip. The converfation is related by
Dr. Heylin, in his life of Laud; who accidentally met Hales at Lam-
beth, to whom Hales related what had paffed. Hales told him,
<< that

tr
"that he found the Archbishop (whom he before knew was a nimble
difputant) to be as well verfed in books, as bufinefs; that he had been
ferreted by him from one hole to another, till there was none left to
"afford him any further fhelter; that he was now refolved to be orthodox,
"and to declare himfelf a true fon of the Church of England, both for
"doctrine and difcipline; that on this account he had obtained leave to call
"himſelf the Archbishop's Chaplain, that naming him in his public
prayers, for his Lord and Patron, the greater notice might be taken of
"the alteration." The perfecution he afterwards underwent is a fufficient
proof, that his principles were fincere, however he might before have
leaned, as is frequently fuppofed, to Socinianifm. In 1639, he was pre-
ferred to a Canonry of Windfor, which was certainly done with the appro-
bation and favour of the Archbishop. This he held no longer than the
beginning of the Civil Wars, in 1642. About the time of Laud's death,
he retired from Eton College, and was offered one hundred pounds a
year, with his diet, fervant, and two horfes, from the noble family of Sed-
ley, in Kent, if he would go thither. But he rather accepted of fifty pounds
a year, with his diet, to inftruct the fon of Lady Salter, near Eton, who,
according to Wood, was filter to Bishop Duppa. Here he officiated as
Chaplain, performing the fervice according to the Liturgy of the Church
of England. Dr. Henry King, the fuffering Bishop of Chicheſter, was
in the fame houfe with his relations. He fucceeded Dr. Duppa in that
See. Hales retired to private lodgings at Eton, when a declaration was
iffued, prohibiting all perfons from harbouring Malignants. The good
Lady with whom he had lived, would have willingly incurred any hazard,
if he would continue with her; but he refuſed to be the occafion of bringing
any trouble on her or her family. The place to which he moved, was the
houfe of Hannah Powney, whofe firft hufband had been a fervant to Mr.
Hales, and who had at her marriage received Mr. Hales's bounty. Here
he remained a quarter of a year, unknown to any one, living upon bread
and beer; and wifhing that his head had been taken off inftead of the
Archbishop's. After this, he underwent incredible hardships, and was
K
obliged

FELLOWS OF ETON COLLEGE
obliged to fell one of the most valuable libraries that ever was in the
poffeffion of a private man, for the fupport of himfelf and his friends.
His library coft him two thoufand five hundred pounds, and he fold it to a
bookfeller in London for feven hundred; which money he fhared with
feveral other deprived clergymen; and other fcholars in want, particularly
to the excellent Mr. Anthony Faringdon, of whom, and of his miferable
family, he was the chief fupport. Nothing can fhew the unfortunate condi-
tion in which Hales had been, and then was, better than the converfation
he had one day with this intimate friend. This worthy perfon coming
once a day to ſee Mr. Hales, fome few months before his death, found
him in very mean lodgings at Eton; but in a temper gravely chearful,
and well becoming a good man under fuch circumftances. After a
flight and homely dinner, fuitable to their fituation, fome difcourfe
paffed between them concerning their old friends, and the diſmal afpect
of the times; and at laft Hales afked Faringdon to walk out with him
into the Church yard. There this unhappy man's neceffities preffed him to
tell his friend, that he had been forced to fell his whole library, except a

tion, which lay in his chamber; and that for money, he had no more
than what he then fhewed him (which was about feven or eight fhillings)
and befides, faid he, " I doubt I am indebted for my lodging." Mr.
Faringdon, it ſeems, did not imagine that it had been fo low with him;
and therefore was much furprized to hear it; but faid that " he had at pre-
"fent money to command, and to-morrow would pay him fifty pounds,
" in part of the many fums he and his wife had received of him in their great
"neceffities, and would pay him more, as he ſhould want it." But
Hales replied, “No, you do not owe me a penny; I know you and your's
" will have occafion for much more than what you have lately gotten;
"but if you know any other friend, that hath too full a purfe, and will
"fpare me fome of it, I will not refufe that." To this Hales added,
"When I die, which I hope is not far off, for I am weary of this uncha-
"ritable world, I defire you to fee me buried in that place in the Church
yard,"

ringdon, with the Provoſt Sir Henry Savile, Sir Henry Wotton, and
"the reft of your friends and predeceffors." "Becauſe," faid he, "I am
"neither the founder of it, nor have I been a benefactor to it, nor fhall I
ever now be able to be fo; fo I am fatisfied." Andrew Marvel, who heard
of this converfation in Eton Church yard with Mr. Faringdon, remarked,
"that it was not one of the leaft ignominies of that age, that fo eminent a
perfon fhould have been, by the iniquity of the times, reduced to thofe
" neceffities under which he lived."

Anthony Faringdon was born at Sunning, in Berks, became fuccef-
fively Scholar and Fellow of Trinity College, in Oxford; a celebrated
preacher and eminent tutor in that College. In 1634, he became Vicar of
Bray, in Berks, and foon after Divinity Reader in the King's Chapel at
Windfor. In the Civil War he was deprived of theſe preferments, at which
time he had a wife and feven children, which were reduced to great ex-
tremity, and might probably have ftarved, had not Mr. Hales and fome
others, relieved them; at which time he was invited to be Miniſter of St.
Mary Magdalen, Milk-ftreet, London. Some time after he was fettled in
that place, a proclamation was iffued, that no fequeftered Minifter fhould
preach in any parish Church, in London, or within feven miles of it; that
he was again ejected from this Church. But he was fo well beloved by his
parishioners, that collections being made for him at the Church doors the
two Sundays before he went away, they gathered at leaſt four hundred
pounds for him; which probably was the money that enabled him to offer
payment to Hales. He died in the parish of Milk-ftreet, in September,
1658; and was buried in that Church. At the time he was fequeftered
from his living of Bray, he was alfo plundered and abuſed by Ireton, whom,
it feems, Mr. Faringdon, had reprimanded for fome mifdemeanours in
Trinity College; at which time he difcovered an uncommon fpirit, and
foretold that he would turn out fomething extraordinary, but whether good
or bad he could not determine. Mr. Faringdon was a perfon of excellent

learning and great charity, an admirable preacher, of great moderation,
modefty, and patience under his fufferings. He publifhed three volumes of
Sermons in folio.
Hales died May 19, 1656, aged feventy-two, and was buried in
Eton College Church yard, in the place which he had pointed out.
Although he had been fufpected of favouring Socinianifm, yet that his ad-
herence to the Church was fincere, his fufferings and poverty fufficiently,
prove. He was found one day by a friend reading Calvin's Inftitutions, who
afked him, "if he was not yet paffed that book?" To which he answered,
that "in his younger days, he read it to inform himſelf, but now to reform
" him." All writers and parties have agreed in giving to him the charac-
ter of one of the greateft, as well as beft of men, that any age has produced.
He was a perſon of peculiar modefty, a good orator and difputant; he had
unwearied induſtry, and moreover a ready communication of his know-
ledge, infomuch that he was vifited by people of high rank and character;
he was of a temper very courteous and affable, that Biſhop Pearſon faid
of him, "It was near as eaſy a taſk for any one to become fo knowing, as
"fo obliging as Mr. Hales." A remarkable inftance of his juftice is relat-
ed by Walker, that having received a confiderable fum of bad money, while
he was Burfar of Eton College, he was at the lofs of it himself, and threw it
into the River Thames. He was familiarly called "The walking Library;"
and fo well known was his character for learning and virtue, that he
frequently received letters both abroad and at home (particularly from
Grotius, whoſe picture Mr. Hales kept in his cloſet) to confult him upon
learned and abftrufe fubjects; fo true are the words of his epitaph, Certe

He was fucceeded in his Fellowſhip by Penwarden, who voluntarily
offered to refign it to Mr. Hales, who declined it; declaring that the Par-
liament having put him out, he was refolved never to be put in again by
them. His Canonry was kept vacant till after the reſtoration. Materials
for the life of Mr. Hales were attempted to be collected by the ingenious
and celebrated Walton; and Faringdon, who had begun to write the life of
this memorable perfon, dying before he had completed it, his papers were
fent to Walton, with a requeſt from Mr. Fulman, who had propoſed to
continue and finifh it, that Walton would furnish him with fuch information,
as was to his purpofe. Fulman did not live to complete his defign, but
his life, from other materials, was compiled by the late Mr. Des
Maizeaux, and published by him in 1719, as a fpecimen of a new Bio-

He was admitted a Student of Chriſt
Church in Oxford, in 1603, as a Knight's fon of Oxfordshire, where he
took the degree of A. M. in 1611. Mr. Croke was in 1613, appointed
Profeffor of Divinity at Grefham College; to which office he was not only
recommended by his own learning and abilities, but by the intereſt of his
father, who had been Recorder of London, and by Dr. King, Biſhop
of London. In 1616, he was Junior Proctor of the Univerfity of Oxford;
and in June that year, he was inftituted to the Rectory of Waterftoke, in
Oxfordſhire, given him by his uncle George Croke, but refigned it in
the October following. In 1617, he was elected Fellow of Eton College
in the room of Mr. William Clarke, at which time he continued on the
Foundation at Chrift Church, but refigned his Studentſhip before Michael-

of his coufin Henry Croke. In 1621 he was prefented to the rich
Rectory of Agmondefham, in Buckinghamshire, by the Earl of Bedford.
This obliged him to refign his Fellowſhip of Eton, after his year of Grace,
which by the conftitution of that College could not be held longer, with any
living rated in the King's books at more than forty marks per annum. He
was ſucceeded in it by Mr. John Smith. Though the Fellows of Eton by
their conftitution are required to be Priefts, which before the reformation
implied a prohibition of marriage; yet fince that time they have been left to
their difcretion; but Mr. Croke did not uſe that privilege. On the 20th of
June 1625, he was S. T. P. at Oxford, and afterwards appointed Chaplain
to King Charles. He taught a confiderable School at his Parfonage Houfe

THOMAS RICHARDSON, November 7, 1684. Was of Pembroke Hall, in
Cambridge, inſtalled Prebendary of Ely in 1697, and became Maſter of
Peter Houfe, in Cambridge, in 1699. He was appointed Chaplain to the
King in 1716. He was elected Fellow of Eton in a very extraordinary
manner from being Conduct of the College. To prevent a perfon
being obtruded on the College by the Court, the College gates were fhut,
and in great hafte Mr. Richardfon was elected. He died at an advanced
age, July 30, 1733. 11
EDMUND WHITFIELD, May 4, 1691. Was born at Maidenhead, and being

Tracts, published in that reign. He was born in the Tower of London
January 1, 1656, and was admitted into King's College in 1675. He did
not enter into Holy Orders till the time of the Revolution; and

To he became a celebrated Preacher. He was made Chaplain to King
William and Queen Mary; and by the intereft of Doctor Godolphin,
then Vice-Provoſt of Eton, and Canon Refidentiary of St. Paul's, after-
wards Provoſt of Eton and Dean of St. Paul's, he was chofen Fellow of
this College; and became Rector of St.PAuftin's, London, in the gift of
the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. Soon afterwards he obtained the
Lectureship of St. Dunstan's in the Weſt, moſt probably on account of his
fingular merit and character as a Preacher. In the year 1691, he publiſhed,
"Infcriptionum antiquarum Sylloge, &c." This is a collection of ancient
infcriptions, cand confifts of two parts, viz. remarkable Pagan Infcrip-
tions from Gruter, Reinefius, Spon, and other writers; and the ancient
monuments, illuftrated with notes, for the ufe of the Antiquary. In 1692,
he reviſed, tranflated into English, and added a preface to "Jurieu's plain
" method of Chriftian Devotion, laid down in difcourfes, meditations,
" and prayers, fitted to the various occafions of religious life." The twenty-
feventh edition of this book was printed in 1750. He was now diftin-
guiſhing himſelf chiefly by his talents as a Preacher, which rendered him fo
frequently admired, that he was often called upon to preach on public oc-
cafions. In 1701, he publiſhed "An Effay on Miracles," in 8vo. This
work is in dialogue, and divided into two difcourfes. Some fingularities
in it occafioned it to be feverely handled, particularly by Mr. Hoadley, in
"A Letter to Mr. Fleetwood, 1702." This effay is faid to contain the
fubftance of what he would have preached at Mr. Boyle's Lectures, if his
health would have permitted him to have undertaken that office, when it
was offered him. About a week before King William's death he was no-
minated to a Canonry of Windfor; but the grant not having paffed the
Seals in time, the Houfe of Commons addreffed the Queen to give that
Canonry to their Chaplain. His patron, Lord Godolphin, laid that
matter before the Queen, who faid, that if King William had given it
to Mr. Fleetwood, he fhould have it. He was inftalled in it in 1702. In
1705, after he had given the world his "Reaſonable Communicant," and

"Difcourfes," he refolved to retire from the noife and hurry of the
town, much to the concern of his friends. He then, although warmly
folicited by his parishioners, gave up his preferments, and withdrew to
Wexham, a fmall Rectory of about fixty pounds a year in Buckingham-
fhire. Here he enjoyed the tranquillity and pleaſure of that privacy, for
which he had ſo much longed, in a commodious houſe and gardens; and
what made his retirement more agreeable, was its nearness to his beloved
Eton. In 1707, he publiſhed his "Chronicon pretiofum." He did not
long remain in his retirement; for in 1708, upon the death of Beveridge,
he was nominated by the Queen to the See of St. Afaph, without any folici-
tation, or even knowledge of his own; fo that he affured a friend, that the
firſt intelligence he had of his promotion was from the Gazette. He was
but juſt gone out from waiting as Chaplain, when his predeceffor died;
upon which, one of the Ladies of the Bedchamber afking the Queen,
" whom the intended to make Bishop of St. Afaph?" Her Majeſty
replied, "One whom you will be pleaſed with; whom you have lately
"heard preach; I intend it for Dr. Fleetwood." He was confecrated
in June 1708. Upon the death of More, Biſhop of Ely, in 1714,
Tenifon, Archbishop of Canterbury, ftrenuously recommended Fleet-
wood to the vacant See; accordingly he was nominated to fucceed to
it. He died at Tottenham, in Middleſex, whither he had retired for
the benefit of the air, Auguft 4, 1723; and was interred in the Ca-
thedral Church of Ely, where a monument was erected to him by
his Lady, who did not long furvive him. His character was great
in every refpect, both as a Preacher and a Divine. He left behind
him an only fon, Dr. Charles Fleetwood, of the year 1711, who inherited his
paternal eftates in Lancaſhire; and had been prefented a few years before by
his father, as Biſhop of Ely, to the great Rectory of Cotenham, in Cam-
bridgeſhire, which he did not long enjoy. od

JOHN BURTON, Auguft 17, 1733. Was born 1696, at Wembworth in De-
vonſhire, of which parifh his father was Rector. The firſt part of his gram-
matical education he received at Okehampton, and the remainder at Ely.
Such were the proofs which young Burton afforded at School, of his capacity,
diligence, and worthy difpofition, that the learned Dr. Afhton, Maſter of
Jefus College, Cambridge, defigned to have him admitted into his own
College. But, in the mean time, Dr. Turner, prefident of Corpus Chriſti
College, Oxford, having made an accidental trial of Mr. Burton's literary
improvements, procured him a Scholarſhip in that College in 1713, when
he was feventeen years of age. Here he made fo diftinguiſhed a progrefs,
that Dr. Mather, the Prefident, appointed him to the Tutorship, when he
was only A. B. Soon after the College conferred on him the honour of
reading the Greek Lecture. During the whole courfe of his ftudies, his
behaviour was at once fo chearful and fo regular, that he not only recom-

mended himſelf to the affection of his equals, but to the efteem of his W
fuperiours. Dr. Potter, in particular, at that time Biſhop of Oxford, en-
tertained a great regard for him. On the 24th of March, 1720, he was
admitted A. M. In the exercife of his duty as a Tutor, no one could
exceed him in attention, diligence, and a zealous concern for the improve-
ment of his pupils. As he was himſelf unacquainted with Mathematics,
and ignorant of the Hebrew tongue, he took effectual care that the young
men under his tuition, fhould be well inftructed in both. With regard to
thofe of his pupils, who were upon charitable foundations, he was folicitous
that the acquifition of knowledge fhould be rendered as cheap to them as
poffible. He was even anxious that it ſhould be no expence to them; and T
indeed, fo difintereſted and beneficent was the whole of his conduct, that
after having diſcharged the office of Tutor almoft fifteen years, he was
fcarcely poffeffed of fifty pounds, when he quitted the Univerfity. In re-
vifing, correcting, and improving the exercifes of the ftudents, Mr. Burton
diſplayed ſurpriſing patience and indefatigable diligence; and there are ſtill
extant, his themes, declamations, orations, and poems of every kind,
which he compofed for the ufe of his own pupils, and even of others. His
attention, however, was not folely confined to the buſineſs of tuition. Henot
was anxious for reftoring the credit of the Univerfity prefs, and for enabling
poor editors to carry on their literary undertakings. With this view he
often prevailed upon Dr. Mather, Dr. Holines, and other Vice-Chancellors
to order new types; and by the affiftance of fome noble friends, he was fo
ftrenuous in behalf of the learned Hutchinfon, the editor of Xenophon,
that no editors, fince that time, have had any delay or difficulty in obtaining
the exemption from the duty on paper, which has been granted by Parlia-
ment to books printed at the Clarendon prefs. It was alfo by Mr. Burton's
perfuafion, that Mr. afterwards Lord Rolle, gave 100l. to the Univerſity
for the purpoſe of lending it to editors; and that Dr. Hodges, Provoſt of
Oriel College, bequeathed 200l. to the fame ufe. In 1725, when he was
Pro-Proctor, and Mafter of the Schools, he fpoke before the determin-

ing Bachelors, a Latin Oration, intituled, "Heli," which was both written
and publiſhed with the defign of enforcing the falutary exercife of Acade-
mical Difcipline. The fame fubject was ftill more fully confidered by him
in four Latin Sermons, preached before the Univerfity, which, likewife,
with appendixes, were afterwards given to the public. Indeed, the labour
that Mr. Burton, during two years, chearfully underwent, as Mafter of the
Schools, was very great. On the 19th of July, 1729, Mr. Burton was
admitted to the Degree of B. D. and in 1732, when the fettlement of a
Colony in Georgia was in agitation, being folicited to give his affiftance in
promoting that undertaking, he preached a Sermon in its recommenda-
tion; and his difcourfe was afterwards publifhed, with an appendix,
concerning the ftate of the Colony. He was likewife, through his whole
life, an ardent promoter of Dr. Bray's admirable fcheme of parochial
Libraries. Among other young men who were committed to the tuition
of Mr. Burton, there were feveral from Eton School, who excelled in
genius and learning. This circumftance introduced him to an epiftolary
correfpondence, and a focial intercourfe with the Mafters of the School,
and the Provoft and Fellows of the College; the confequence of which
was, that they formed fo good an opinion of his difpofition and charac-
ter, as to elect him, in 1733, into a Fellowship of their Society. About
the fame time, he fucceeded Dr. Edward Littleton in the vicarage of
Mapledurham, in Oxfordshire, which may be confidered as a remark-
able æra in Mr. Burton's life. Upon going to take poffeffion of his new
preferment, he found the widow of his predeceffor, and three infant
daughters, without a home, and without a fortune. A fight fo affecting
infpired him with compaffion; compaffion was followed by love, and love
by marriage. Mr. Burton fhewed the fame contempt for money, and per-
haps carried it to an excefs, after he was fettled in his living. His
fituation being remarkably pleafant, nothing gave him greater delight,
than repairing, enlarging, and adorning his houfe, embelliſhing his
dens, planting trees, clearing fields, making roads, and introducing fuch

other improvements, as he believed would be of advantage to his fuccef-
fors. Works of a fimilar kind were undertaken by him, when in 1766,
he was inftituted to the Rectory of Worplefdon, in Surrey. In 1748,
the death of his wife affected him in the tendereft manner, as is evident
from the feveral parts of his " Opufcula-profaica." This event did not
leffen his regard for her three orphan daughters; towards whom he con-
tinued to exert the greateſt affection, care, and liberality. From hence
forward he ſpent the principal part of the year at Eton College; where he
gave himfelf entirely up to the ftudy of literature, and the affiftance of his
friends. But whenever there were any public meetings on literary or eccle-
fiaftical affairs, whether at Oxford, Cambridge, or London, he had
much fatisfaction in being prefent at them. He was fuppofed to have
publiſhed remarks on Dr. King's fpeech before the Univerfity of Oxford,
at the dedication of Dr. Radcliffe's Library, on the 13th of April,
1749. By Phileleutherus Londinenfis. London, 1750, 8vo. This
pamphlet occafioned "Elogium famæ inferviens Jacci Etonenfis five

"Giant; collected into Latin and English metre; after the manner of
"Th. Sternhold, John Hopkins, John Burton, and others. To which

"Oxford, 1750." July 1, 1752, he took the Degree of D. D. and after-
wards publiſhed his Lectures on that occafion. He was intimately ac-
quainted with many of the Bishops; and whilft careffed by the Governours
of the Church, was equally refpected by the loweft of the Clergy.
Nothing was more agreeable to him, than to fee all around him, eafy,
chearful, and happy. To fuch of the young Scholars at Eton, as appeared
to be of promifing abilities and difpofition, he fhewed a particular atten-
tion, made them companions of his hours of leifure, and afforded them
every encouragement which lay in his power. When Dr. Burton came
to an advanced age, and his eyes began to fail him, he thought pro-
per to collect together and publifh his fcattered pieces, under the title of
Opufcula Mifcellanea." Scarcely had he finiſhed this tafk, when he was

fuddenly attacked by an Eryfipelous fever, which difturbed his intellects, amouT
and ſhattered his decaying frame. He feemed, however, at intervals to
recover, and to be defirous of refuming his ftudies. The day before
his death, the lamp of life began to be rekindled. In the evening, being
Sunday, as had been his cuftom, he fent for five or fix promifing young
men; and, after fupper, difcourfed with them, with more than ufual
perfpicuity and elegance, on fome important fubject of Divinity. From
hence his phyfician and friends conceived hopes of his recovery, but they
were miſtaken; for after a moft ferene fleep, he quietly departed this life
the next morning, on the 11th of February, 1771, aged 76; and was
buried at the entrance of the inner Chapel at Eton. A particular account
of his works, with pertinent remarks on them, may be feen in the Biographia
Britannica.

THOMAS ASHTON, December 10, 1745. Was admitted into King's College
in 1733, became A.B. 1738, and A. M. 1742. He was probably the
perfon to whom Horace Walpole, late Earl of Orford, addreffed his
Epiftle from Florence in 1740, in Dodfley's Collection, under the title
of Thomas Aſhton, Efq; Tutor to the Earl of Plymouth. He was pre-
fented to the Rectory of Aldingham, in Lancaſhire, which he refigned in
1749; on the third of May following, he was prefented to the Rectory of
St. Botolph, Biſhopfgate; in 1759, he took the degree of D. D. and on
the 10th of December, 1760, he married Mifs Amyand; and in May,
1762, was elected Preacher at Lincoln's Inn, which he refigned in 1764.
He died 1775, after having for fome years furvived a fevere attack of the
palfy. His Difcourfes, admirable as they are in themfelves, were ren-
dered ftill more fo by the excellence of his delivery. He printed a Ser-
mon on the Rebellion in 1745, and a Thanksgiving Sermon on the clofe
of it in 1746; and afterwards many other Difcourfes on public occafions;
all which, with fome others, were collected by himself into a volume,
which is cloſed by "Concio ad Clerum," 1770, and dedicated to his

Dominice M° CCCCLXXXXIV Cujus animæ propitietur Deus.
Amen. The words Orate pro anima, and cujus animæ propitietur Deus,
are effaced. The zeal of the reformers, in 1645, was much offended at
any infcription which began and ended with words like thefe. In this
Veftry, Mafs was probably faid many years for Dr. Towne; for he left a
handſome annual ſtipend of four marks (equal to eight pounds of the prefent
time) for fome one of the Fellows, who fhould be a Prieft, to fay Maſs and
fing Dirges for delivering his foul from Purgatory. The altar ftood within
the Eaſtern Angle; and within this Veftry there is a fire-place, which per-
haps was uſed for the purpoſe of burning Incenfe. The dignity of Cuftos
or Mafter of King's Hall was offered to him; but it is not known whether
he accepted it. King's Hall was a College (ftanding on part of the

the gate of the School, with walks on each fide, and a Library to the Eaft
of it. Many miftook this for the work of Richard the Third, becaufe
his creft of a Boar was fet on it. But Rotheram, to reinftate himſelf in
favour, caufed the arms of Richard to be erected on it; for he had forfeited
his good opinion by refigning the Great Seal of England to Elizabeth, ol
widow of Edward the Fourth. He enjoyed many Church preferments;
being fucceffively Provoſt of Beverley, Biſhop of Rochefter, Lincoln, and
Archbishop of York, Keeper of the Privy Seal, and Lord Chancellor of

NICHOLAS WEST, was the fon of a Baker, and born at Putney, in Surrey.
When at King's, fays Fuller, fomething croffing him in his College, he
could find no other way to work his revenge, than by fecretly fetting fire to
the Provoft's lodgings, part of which he burnt to the ground. He imme- Mon
diately left the College, and lived gay and profligate for fome time in the
country. He afterwards became a hard Student, an eminent Scholar, and
able Statefman; and after fmall promotions became Biſhop of Ely. He
was frequently employed in foreign Embaffies; and afterwards as an ex-
piation of his former offence, rebuilt the Provoft's lodgings from the ground.
His first promotion was the Vicarage of Kingſton upon Thames. Queen
Catharine chofe him as one of her advocates with Bifhop Fiſher. His
ftyle of living was fo magnificent, that he is faid to have kept in his houfe
one hundred fervants; to fifty of whom, he gave four marks as wages, to
the other forty fhillings, allowing every one of them four yards of cloth for
winter, and three yards and half for fummer livery. At the Eaft End of
the South Aile of Putney Church, he built a little Chapel, the roof of
which is adorned with rich Gothic Tracery, interfperfed with the Bishop's
arms, and the initials of his name. He died 1533, and was buried in Ely
Cathedral. Fuller calls him, " a Rakehell in Grain."AY

at the intreaty of Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, he returned to Cambridge,
where he was appointed Orator from 1522 to 1528, and Greek Profeffor,
in both of which offices he fucceeded Erafmus. In 1524, he commenced
Doctor of Divinity at Cambridge, being then Tutor to the Duke of Rich-
mond, and beneficed, if not dignified in the Church. He was afterwards
employed by the King to go to feveral places in Italy, eſpecially to the
Univerſity of Padua, to agitate concerning the legality of the King's Mar-
riage with his Brother's Widow. After this time, the Univerſity of Ox-
ford, by great means and favourable friends, and fair promifes of large
allowance, invited him thither to be their Reader. The time of his going
to Oxford was in 1532, in which year the King, by his Charter, dated
July 18th, converted Cardinal Wolfey's College into that of King's Col-
lege, or that founded by King Henry the Eighth. In which year he was
not only incorporated Doctor of Divinity, but was made third Canon of
the twelve of that foundation. In the latter end of the fame year, the
new Dean, Dr. Jo. Hygden, died, and the Canons wrote to Thomas
Cromwell, Secretary of State, to intercede with the King, that Dr. Croke
might fucceed him; but he only continued Canon till it was about to be

feeing the impending ftorm, he refolved to take fanctuary in fome
other country. He went to Strafburgh, and completed many good deſigns
for the promotion of Learning and Truth. Upon Mary's death he re-
turned, and was one of thofe Divines appointed to revife the Liturgy.

patent, dated at Woodstock, June 13, 1231; which were confirmed to
them by fome of the fucceeding monarchs. In 1347, John de Seckford
was Patron of the Rectory, and Lord in the Right of his Wife Joan, eldeft
daughter of Sir William Hawkeford. After 1458, George Hekeford, Efq;
fold the Advowfon to the Mafter and Brethren of St. Giles's Hofpital, in
Norwich, who for feveral years prefented to the Rectory, which by favour
of Pope Paul the Second, was annexed for ever to that Mafterfhip. The
Bull was dated at Rome, February 23, 1465. All the rights belonging
to the Crown were conveyed by King Henry the Sixth to this College;
but it is not afcertained when the Manor and Advowfon were fold to
Truſtees for the ufe of King's College; which Society, on account of the
prior conveyance of the Advowfon, could not recover it for a long time,
though they endeavoured for it. The College, however, at length, under
the aufpices of Provoft Hacomblen, prevailed, who obtained the King's
writ on a trial he had gotten, in 1522, against John Hekker, Clerk,
Rector of the parish; on which he refigned it to the College. It ap-
peared to be united to the Maſterſhip by the Pope's Bull only, and
not by the act of the King or Bishop; and thoſe inftruments now begin-
ning to fall into difrepute, and the Papal authority to be weakened, the College
recovered the Rectory as an appendant to their Manor. There was a
Church at Coltefhall long before the Conqueft, but the prefent building,
after it was finifhed, was dedicated to St. John the Baptift, on the day
of the Converfion of St. Paul, in the year 1284, by William de Middle-
ton, Bishop of Norwich, in the reign of Edward the Firft. The fame
Biſhop on the 2d of April, 1286, confecrated the Church of St. Nicholas,
at Great Yarmouth, and re-dedicated his Cathedral, after the conflagra-
tion of it. For the obfervations concerning the parishes of Horftead and
Coltefhall, I am indebted to the kind communication of Dr. Grape, the
prefent Rector.

THOMAS GULSON, A. M.
WALTER HADDON, an eminent Scholar, and a great reftorer of the learned lan-
guages in England, was defcended from a good family in Buckingham-
fhire, and was born in 1516. He greatly diftinguiſhed himself both
at Eton and King's for his parts and learning, and particularly by writing
in a fine Ciceronian ftile. He ftudied the Civil Law, of which he
became Doctor, and read public Lectures in it. In 1550, he was
made Profeffor of it; and he was alfo Profeffor of Rhetoric, and Orator
of the Univerſity. During King Edward the Sixth's reign, he was one
of the moft illuftrious promoters of the reformation; and upon the depri-
vation of Gardiner, fucceeded to the Maſterſhip of Trinity-Hall. He
was Vice-Chancellor of the Univerfity in 1549. September, 1552, through
the earneft recommendation of the Court, though unqualified by the
Statutes, he was chofen Prefident of Magdalen College, in Oxford; but
in October, 1553, upon the acceffion of Queen Mary, he quitted the
Prefident's office, through fear of expulfion or profecution by Gardiner,
at his Vifitation of the faid College. On the acceffion of Queen Elizabeth,
he was ordered by the Privy Council to repair to her Majefty at Hatfield,
in Hertfordshire, and was conftituted by her one of the Mafters of the
Court of Requests. Archbishop Parker alfo made him Judge of his
Prerogative Court. He was one of her Majefty's Commiffioners, as ap-
pears by his fpeech, at the Royal Vifitation to Cambridge. In 1556,
he was one of the three agents fent to Bruges, to reftore Commerce be-
tween England and the Netherlands, upon ancient terms. Queen
Elizabeth being afked, whether the preferred him or Buchanan, the
replied Buchananum omnibus antepono, Haddonum nemini poftpono. He died
in January, 1572, and was buried in Chrift Church, London. His
epitaph, which is in that Church is, S. Memoria Gualtero Haddono, Equeftri

his works of a mifcellaneous kind are in a collection, called Lucubra-
“tiones," printed in Quarto in 1567; and publiſhed by Thomas Hatcher,
of King's College (of the year 1555) who collected a Biographical Ac-
count of the early Members of that Society. His other publications are,
a Latin Tranflation, in conjunction with Sir John Cheke, of Fox's
"Reformatio Legum Ecclefiafticarum," in Quarto; another edition
was printed in Octavo in 1592. He is mentioned with great refpect by
many of our writers for his learning and piety. In the beginning of an
Oration which he made to the Eton Scholars, he faid, Magnam locus
admonitionis vim habet, fuaviffimi pueri; nam hac ipfa cernens, quondam mea,
nunc veftra ftudiorum incunabula, communium memini veftrarum literarum, et
vos amo tenentes illum vita curfum, in quo vos ipfe fum antegreffus. Quales
enim vos nunc eftis, tales nos olim pueri fuimus; et quales nos jam effe cernitis,
tales vos dies viros efficiet.
It may not, in this place, be uninterefting to the reader, to relate
the fubftance of a remarkable converfation in which Haddon was a party.
During the Plague in London in 1563, Queen Elizabeth and her Court
were at the Caftle of Windfor; where it happened that on the tenth
of September, there dined in Sir William Cecil's Lodgings, Sir William
Petre, Sir John Mafon, Dr. Wotton; Sir Richard Sackville, Treaſurer
of the Exchequer; Sir Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer ;
Mr. Haddon; Mr. Aftley, Mafter of the Jewel Houfe; Mr. Hampton,
Mr. Nicafius, and Roger Afcham. At dinner, Secretary Cecil happened
to fay, he had heard that morning that feveral Eton Scholars had run away
on account of their Mafter's feverity, which he condemned as a great fault
in thoſe who had the education of youth. Sir William Petre, who was
of a fevere difpofition, defended it. Dr. Wotton, in gentle terms, reſpect-
fully fupported what the Secretary had faid; Sir John Mafon merrily

defence of what he advanced, obferved, that the beft Schoolmafter then

fhe alfo openly called him her Scholar, and before fhe left the Univerſity,
gave him her hand to kifs. Prefton's antagoniſt in thefe difputations before
the Queen, was Thomas Cartwright, of Trinity College; Cartwright had
dealt moft with the Mufes, Prefton with the Graces; Cartwright difputed
like a great, Prefton like an elegant, Scholar. This circumſtance Mr.
Stevens fuppofes to have been ridiculed by Shakeſpeare in the " Midfum-
mer Night's Dream," at the conclufion of the fourth act. On the fixth of
October, 1566, when the Oxonian Mufes, in their turn, were honoured
with a vifit from their Royal Miftrefs, our author, with eight more from
Cambridge, was incorporated Mafter of Arts in that Univerſity. He
wrote one dramatic piece, intituled, "A lamentable Tragedy, mixt full of
"pleaſant mirth, conteyning the Life of Cambyfes, King of Perfia, from
"the beginning of his kingdome unto his death, his one good deed of
"execution after the many wicked deeds and treacherous murders com-
"mitted by and through him; and laft of all, his odious death by God's
" juſtice appointed, done on fuch order as followeth." This performance
Langbaine imagines Shakeſpeare meant to ridicule, when in his play of
Henry the Fourth, part the firft, act the fecond, he makes Falstaff talk of
fpeaking" in King Cambyfes' vein." As a proof of this conjecture, he
has given a quotation from the beginning of the play, which is a ſpeech of
King Cambyfes himself; which, on the fame account that he quoted it, Ho
and as being a good fpecimen of the manner of writing of many authors at
that time, is here tranfcribed:
My Counfaile grave and fapient,
With Lords of legal train:
Attentive eares towards us bend,
And mark what shall be fain.

borough of Cambridge in Parliament. "He died," faid his uncle, Sir
Henry Wotton," in the vernality of his employments and fortunes, under
"the beft King and Maſter in the world." On hearing of his death, Sir
Henry, in a letter to his friend, Nicholas Pey, wrote theſe noble and exalted
fentiments:-" And, my dear Nick, when I had been here almoſt a fort-
"night, in the midst of my great contentment, I received notice of Sir
"Albertus Morton's departure out of this world, who was dearer to me

"nature and of all fortune, when he taketh to himſelf now one and then
"another, till that expected day, wherein it fhall pleafe him to diffolve the
"whole, and wrap up even the heaven itſelf as a fcroll of parchment*.

As a ftrong proof of the affection which Sir Henry bore to this his
nephew, may be inferted, "TEARS, wept at the grave of Sir Albertus Mor-
ton, by Henry Wotton."
<<
Silence, in truth, would fpeak my forrow beft,
For deepeſt wounds can leaft their feelings tell;
Yet let me borrow from my own unreft
A time to bid him, whom I loved, farewell.
Oh! my unhappy lines! you that before
Have ferved my youth to vent fome wanton cries;
And now, congealed with grief, can fcarce implore
Strength to accent-" Here my Albertus lies!"
This is that fable ftone, this is the cave,
And womb of earth, that doth his corpfe embrace:
While others fing his praife, let me engrave
Theſe bleeding numbers to adorn the place.nudbe
Here will I paint the characters of woe; anges
Here will I pay my tribute to the dead;
And here my faithful TEARS in fhowers fhall flow,
To humanize the flints on which I tread.
Where though I mourn my matchlefs lofs alone,
And none between my weaknefs judge and me;
Yet even theſe penfive walls allow my moan,
Whofe doleful echoes to my plaints agree.

No prejudice to this his fonne,

This honor none had thought too high,
For grace of fuch fublimity.

in 1700, and he reprefented that borough in feveral fucceeding Parlia
ments. In 1705, he was appointed by Queen Anne to be one of the

In 1707, he was made Secretary at War, and in 1709, Treafurer of the
Navy. He was one of the managers upon Sacheverell's impeachment.
On the change of the Miniſtry in Auguft, 1710, he was removed from
his employments. In 1711, he was expelled the Houfe of Commons,
and committed to the Tower upon a charge of receiving bribes in his
office. But on the acceffion of George the Firft, he was again brought on
forward, and became paymafter to the Guards and garrifons at home,
and forces abroad, in September, 1714, five days before the King's land-

On the tenth of October he was made firft Lord Commiffioner of the
Treaſury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. He refigned his offices in
April, 1717; but in 1720, he was again appointed paymafter of the
forces, and in May, Lord Commiffioner of the Treaſury and Chancellor
of the Exchequer. In May, 1725, he was nominated one of the firſt
Knights of the Bath, and in May, 1727, a Knight of the Garter. He MOTHA
continued to be Prime Minifter till 1742, when he refigned; and was
created Baron of Houghton, Viſcount Walpole, and Earl of Orford. His
enemies endeavoured to caft a public odium upon his meafures, and at-
tempted an impeachment, which they were not able to effect. He now
retired from public life, and was granted a penfion of 4000l. per annum.
But his retirement he did not long live to enjoy, for he died in 1745, in
the ſeventy-first year of his age. His fon Horace, the late venerable Earl
of Orford, has given his father a place in his catalogue of Noble
Authors; but his writings confifted only of political pamphlets, which
being merely temporary, have dropped with the caufes that produced them.
He is reprefented in private life to have been a tender parent, a kind
mafter, a beneficent patron, a firm friend, and a moſt agreeable com-
panion. His public character is fo clofely united with the contemporary
hiftory of the country, that it would occupy too much place in this

Mary, adjoining to the South Side of the Parochial Church of Kingston upon
Thames, in which feveral Engliſh Saxon Kings are faid to have been
crowned, which was deftroyed in 1730, by the falling down of one of the
pillars and arch next the Church. Mr. Hardinge's fon has printed a curious

tranflated this Ode, and at the fame time engaged Dr. Sneyd Davies, of the
year 1728, to make another tranflation. Both are preferved, and printed in
a Volume of Engliſh Verſes, printed ſeveral years fince. The Latin Poems onar

BENDAL MARTIN, A. B. 1722; A. M. 1726; was the fon of Henry Martin,
Efq; who practifed at the Bar, and was an eminent Scholar, and a
writer in the Spectator, highly complimented by Sir Richard Steele, in
the laſt Volume of that work. He was alfo nephew of Edward Martin,
the

practice of the Law, he obtained a place in the Cuftom-Houfe, which in
1738, he relinquifhed, when he fucceeded to the Treafuryfhip of Excife,
to which he was appointed by Sir Robert Walpole. This office he re-
tained till his death, which happened in 1761, at Highgate, în Middlefex,
in the Chapel of which place he was buried. In 1740, he fucceeded to a
good eſtate by the death of an aunt, and in 1753, was appointed one of
с ино[
the Efquires at the Inftallation of his Schoolfellow Sir Edward Walpole,
Knight of the Bath. Sir John Hawkins, in his Hiftory of Mufic, mentions
him as a compofer, and fine performer on the Violin, inftead of the Harp Ma?
fichord, which was his inftrument. One circumftance ought to be mention-
ed to his honour, that after the acceffion of his fortune, he voluntarily paid his
father's debts to the utmoſt farthing. He added to a mind cultivated by
literature, an uncommon eafe and elegance of manners, and was not lefs re-
fpected when living for the excellence of his character, than lamented at
death by all who knew him.

WILLIAM BATTIE, A. B. 1726; A. M. 1730; M. D. 1737; was born at
Modbury, in Devonshire, in the year 1704; fon of Edward Battie, of the,
year 1682. On a vacancy of the Craven Scholarship, by the refignation
of Mr. Titley, of Trinity College, he fucceeded to it. The circumftances
of this Election are fingular. The Candidates being reduced to fix, the
Provoft, Dr. Snape, examined them altogether, that they might, as he faid,
be witneffes to the fuccefsful Candidate. The three Candidates from King's
were examined in Greek authors, and the Provoft difmiffed them with this
pleafing compliment, that being not yet determined in his choice, he muſt
trouble them to come again. The other Electors were fo divided, as,
after a year and a day, to let the Scholarſhip lapfe to the Donor's family,
when Lord Craven gave it to Battie. Probably the remembrance con-
tinued with him, and induced him to make a fimilar foundation in the
Univerfity, with a ftipend of twenty pounds a year, and the fame conditions
for the benefit of others, which is called Dr. Battie's Foundation. He
nominated to it himself while living, and it is now filled up by the Electors
to the Craven Scholarſhips. His fituation at College inay be judged from
the following extract written by him to a friend, dated March 25, 1725:
"When I received your's, I little thought of being able to answer a quef-
"tion in it fo much to my fatisfaction as I do now; I mean about the
Univerfity Scholarship, which I was yesterday, upon Lord Craven's

"recommendation, by means of Dr. Snape, admitted to, after having for
"fome time given over all thoughts of it. I fhall now begin to live
agreeably, and have, I hope, got through the worst part of my life; for,
"with this addition, it will be no hard matter to live on a Fellowship
"agreeably to myfeif, and to the fatisfaction, I am fure, of all my friends.
"There is only one piece of trouble likely to lie upon my hands for fome
"time, which is a Speech next 29th of May; after which, I defign to read
"Sir Ifaac Newton, with Profeffor Sanderfon, and make that, our Engliſh
" and Modern Hiftory, and fmall matters of Law, my ftudy for fome
"time." In order to ftudy the Law, he applied to two old bachelors, his
coufins, both wealthy citizens, whofe names were Coleman, that they would
render him their affiftance. Of them he folicited a loan of a fmall allow-
ance, that might qualify him to refide at one of the Inns of Court; but
they declined interfering with any of his concerns. This diſappointment
diverted his attention to Phyfic, and he firft commenced Practitioner at
Cambridge; where, in 1729, was printed "Ifocratis Orationes feptem et
"Epiftolæ. Codicibus MS. S. nonnullis, et impreffis, melioris notæ ex-
"emplaribus collatis: varias lectiones fubjecit, verfionem novam, notafque,
“ex Hieronymo Wolfio potiffimum defumptas, adjecit Gul. Battie, Coll.
Reg. Cantab. Socius." Thefe orations were contained in a fingle 8vo.
volume; in the preface to which he promiſes Si modo hoc primum non dif-
plicuerit conamen, ut reliqua Oratoris noftri opera nitidiore faltem veftitu donentur.
Which expreffion occafioned fome humorous verfes in the Grub-ſtreet
Journal in 1730. In this undertaking he regularly tafked himself to get
through a certain portion every day. It was about this period, the Cole-
mans retiring from bufinefs, fettled at Brent Ely Hall, in the county of
Suffolk, near enough to admit of Battie's accepting a general invitation to
their houfe, of which he was encouraged to make ufe whenever the nature
of his bufinefs allowed him the leifure. This he did with no fmall in-
convenience to himfelf, without the leaft profpect of advantage, not to
mention the wide difproportion between their political principles, the old
Gentlemen being genuine City Tories, and the Doctor a ftaunch Whig;

though both parties afterwards reverfed their opinions. And he was one,
whom no confideration of advantage in the greateſt exigencies of life
could ever prevail on to fwerve from what he confcientiously believed to
be truth. A fair opening for a Phyfician happening at Uxbridge, induced
Dr. Battie to fettle in that town. At his firft coming there, Dr. Godol-
phin, the Provoſt of Eton, fent his coach and four for him, as his patient;
but the Doctor fitting to write a prefcription, the Provoft raifing up him-
felf faid, "You need not trouble yourſelf to write; I only fent for you to
"give you credit in the neighbourhood." His medical ſkill being attended
with fome fortunate events, he was quickly enabled to accumulate 500l.
With this money in his pocket, he again paid a vifit to his relations in
Suffolk, requeſting their advice how to difpofe of his wealth to the beſt
advantage. This folid conviction of the young man's induſtry and difcre-
tion, fired them with equal pleaſure and aftoniſhment, and from that hour
they behaved towards him with the firmeſt friendſhip. He then removed
to London, where the eſtabliſhed emoluments of his practice produced him
one thouſand pounds a year. In the year 1738, or 1739, he fulfilled by
marriage a long attachment he had preferved for a daughter of Barnham
Goode, the Under Mafter of Eton School, of the year 1691; against whom,
at all times, the Colemans expreffed the moſt inveterate political antipathy.
They however behaved to the wife with the utmoft civility, and when they
died, they left Battie thirty thousand pounds. In 1749, he publiſhed a
correct edition of his favourite Ifocrates, in two octavo volumes. In the
diſpute which the College of Phyficians had with Dr. Schomberg about
the year 1750, Dr. Battie was one of the Cenfors, and took a very active
part againſt that Gentleman, and in conſequence of it, was thus feverely
ridiculed in a Poem called, "The Battiad," faid to be written by Mofes
Mendez, Paul Whitehead, and Dr. Schomberg. It is fince reprinted in
the Repofitory, "a Collection of fugitive Pieces of Wit and Humour,
1776:"
"Firft Battus came, deep read in worldly art,

"And he who lately in a learned freak,
"Poached every Lexicon, and publiſhed Greek;
"Still madly emulous of vulgar praiſe,
"From Punch's forehead wrings the dirty bays."
By fuccefsfully mimicking this character, however, Dr. Battie is faid to
have once faved a young patient's life. He was fent for to a Gentleman,
who was alive in 1782, but then only 14 or 15, who was in extreme
mifery from a fwelling in his throat; when the Doctor underſtood what
the complaint was, he opened the curtains, turned his wig, and acted Punch
with fo much humour and fuccefs, that the young man, thrown almoft
into convulfions from laughing, was fo agitated, as to occafion the tumour
to break, and a complete cure was the inftantaneous confequence. In
751, he publifhed "De principiis animalibus, Exercitationes in Coll.
"Reg. Medicorum, Lond." in three parts, which were followed next year
by a fourth. In 1757, being then Phyfician to St. Luke's Hofpital, and
Superintendant, or rather Maſter of a private Mad-houfe, near Wood's
Clofe, in the road to Iflington, he publiſhed in quarto,
"A Treatife on
Madneſs;" in which, after having thrown out fome cenfures on the medical
practice formerly uſed in Bethlem Hofpital, he was anfwered, and feverely
animadverted upon by Dr. John Munro, in a pamphlet, called, " Remarks
on Dr. Battie's Treatife on Madneſs," publifhed the next year. This
reply contained a defence of the Author's father, who had been lightly
mentioned in Dr. Battie's Treatife. In 1762, he publiſhed " Aphorifmi

Magazine for 1763, p. 20. In February, 1763, he was examined before
a Committee of the Houfe of Commons, on the ftate of the private Mad-
houſes in this kingdom, and received in their printed Report a teftimony
very honourable to his abilities. In April, 1764, he refigned the office of
Phyfician to St. Luke's Hofpital. In 1767, when the difputes ran very
high between the College of Phyficians and Licentiates, Dr. Battie wrote
feveral Letters in the public papers, in vindication of the College. In
1776, he was feized with a paralytic ftroke, which carried him to the grave
June the 13th, in that year, aged 76. The night he expired, converfing
with his fervant, a lad who attended on him as a nurfe, he faid to him,
Young man, you have heard, no doubt, how great are the terrors of
"death. This night will probably afford you fome experiment; but may
you learn, and may you profit by the example, that a confcientious en-
"deavour to perform his duty through life, will ever cloſe a chriftian's
eyes with comfort and tranquility." He foon departed, without a
ftruggle or a groan. He was buried by his own direction at Kingſton
upon Thames," as near as poffible to his wife, without any monument,
(C or memorial whatever." He left three daughters, Anne, Catharine, and
Philadelphia, of whom the eldeſt was married to Sir George Young, a
Captain in the Navy, and fold her father's houfe and eftate at Marlow,
called Court Garden, to Mr. Davenport, an eminent Surgeon in London.
The fecond daughter was married to Jonathan Rafhleigh, Efq. of Penquite,
in Cornwall, by whom fhe had feveral children; and the third to John
Call, Efq. engaged in the fervice of the Eaft India Company. Dr. Battie
gave by his Will, 100l. to St. Luke's Hofpital, 100l. to the Corporation
for the Relief of Widows and Children of Clergymen, and 20 guineas to
Lord Camden, as a fmall token of regard for his many public and private
virtues. His books and papers, whether publiſhed or not, he gave to his
daughter Anne. The houfe at Marlow was built under his own direction,.
and he lived in it till his death. He is faid to have forgot the ftair-cafe,
and all the offices below were conftantly under water. A favourite fcheme
of his, for having the barges drawn up the river by horfes inftead of men,

JOHN CHAPMAN, A. B. 1727; A. M. 1731; was the fon of the Rev. Mr.
Chapman, Rector of Stratfieldfay, in Hampshire. His firft preferment
was the Rectory of Merfham, in Kent, and of Alderton, with the
Chapel of Smeeth, which he held from the year 1739, till his death,
being then Domeftic Chaplain to Archbishop Potter. He was alfo
Archdeacon of Sudbury, and Treafurer of Chichefter, both which he
obtained as options. He was a candidate for the Provoftſhip of King's Col-
lege with Dr. George, and it was as fevere a conteft as ever happened
for that office. While Tutor of his College, he had the honour of
numbering among his pupils, Pratt, afterwards Earl Camden; the
learned Jacob Bryant, Dr. Cooke, the prefent Provoft of the College;
Dr. Afhton, Dr. Barford, Hayes, late a Welsh Judge; Sir William
Draper, and Sir George Baker. He publiſhed “Eufebius," in two
Volumes, 8vo. in defence of Chriſtianity againſt Morgan; and againſt
Tindal in his " Primitive Antiquity, explained and vindicated." The
firft Volume of Eufebius publifhed in 1739, was dedicated to Archbishop
Potter, and when the fecond appeared in 1741, he ftyled himſelf
Chaplain to the Archbishop. He was honoured in 1741, with the
Diploma of D. D. by the Univerfity of Oxford, and publiſhed, "The
"ancient History of the Hebrews vindicated, &c." He publiſhed
Tracts alfo relating to Phlegon, in anfwer to Dr. Sykes, who had maintained
that the eclipſe mentioned by that writer had no relation to the wonderful
darkneſs that happened at our Saviour's Crucifixion. In 1738, he publiſh-
ed a Sermon preached at the confecration of Bifhop Mawfon. He
printed four other fingle Sermons, in 1739, 1743, 1748, and 1752. In
a Differtation written in elegant Latin, and addreffed to Mr. Tunftall, then
public Orator of the Univerſity, and publiſhed with his Latin Epiftle to
Dr. Middleton, concerning the authenticity of fome of Cicero's Epiftles,
in 1741, Dr. Chapman proved that Cicero publiſhed two editions of his
Academics, an original diſcovery that had eſcaped all former commen-
tators; and which has been applauded by Dr. Rofs, the late Bishop of
Exeter, in his valuable edition of Cicero's " Epiftolæ ad Familiares,
"1749."

"1749." In 1744, he added a Letter to Mr. Tunftall's Obfervations
on Tully's Epiftles on the ancient numerical characters of the Roman
Legions, in anſwer to Dr. Middleton. A Charge to the Clergy of the
Archdeaconry of Sudbury, which he publiſhed in 1745, incurred the lafh
of Dr. Middleton. In 1745, his affiftance to Pierce, afterwards Biſhop of
Rochefter, in his excellent edition of Cicero de Officiis, was thus acknow-
ledged in the preface. Ne quid vero buic Editioni deeffet quid a me parari
poffet a doctiffimis quibufdam viris, amicis meis, impetravi, ut hos libros, de
Officiis relegerent, et mecum fua quifque annotata communicarent. Gratia igitur
tibi, Lector, illis referendæ funt; in primis eruditiffimo Joh. Chapmanno, cujus
non paucas notas et utiles et doctas meis adjunxi, ejus nomine ad finem unius
cujufque appofito. Multum debet illi viro Refpublica literaria qui nonnulla alia
lectu digniffima jam in lucem protulit, plura, (ut fpero) prelaturus, cum omni
fere doctrina generè fe tradit, incredibili pene et eadem felici diligentia. In
1746, he publiſhed "Popery, the bane of true Letters," a Charge deliver-
ed at a Vifitation on May 12, 1746, of his Archdeaconry. If Archbishop
Potter had lived to another election, Chapman would have been Prolocutor
of the Convocation. As executor and furviving truftee of the Archbishop,
his conduct in that truft, and particularly his prefenting himſelf to the
Precentorship of Lincoln, on the death of Trimnell (an option) was brought
into the Court of Chancery by Dr. Richardſon, when Lord Keeper Henley,
in 1760, made a decree in Chapman's favour. But on an appeal to the
Houſe of Lords, the decree was reverfed, and Dr. Richardfon ordered to
be preſented. When Mr. Yorke had finiſhed his argument in the Houſe
of Lords, in which he was very fevere on Dr. Chapman, Mr. Pratt, the
late Earl Camden, who had been his pupil, and was then his Counfel,
defired him, by a friend, not to be uneaſy, for that "the next day he
"would wash him as white as fnow." Thinking his cafe partially re-
prefented by Dr. Burn, in his Ecclefiaftical Law, Vol. I. as it was taken
from the briefs of his adverfaries, he expoftulated with him by Letter on
the fubject, to which Dr. Burn candidly replied, that "he by no means
thought him criminal, and in the next edition of his work, would certainly
❝ add his own repreſentation." Dr. Chapman died October 14, 1784.

Governour drew on his Court for the first half, but payment was never
made. Colonel Draper loft his fhare of the ranfom to a very large amount.
In this expedition he was only nine months abfent from England. The
colours taken at this conqueft were prefented to King's College, and hung
up in that beautiful Chapel with proper folemnity, and the conqueror was
rewarded with a red ribband. Upon the reduction of the 29th Regiment,
which had ſerved ſo honourably in the Eaft Indies, his Majefty, unfolicited,
gave him the 79th Regiment of Foot, as an equivalent. This he refigned
to Colonel Gisborne, for his half pay, 1200l. Irifh annuity. In 1769, Sir
William Draper may be viewed in his literary character, drawing his pen
againſt that of JUNIUS, in defence of his friend the Marquis of Granby,

publication of JUNIUS' firft Letter, Sir William renewed his Vindication
of himſelf, and was anfwered with great keennefs by JUNIUS. Here the
controverfy dropped. He is fuppofed to have entered the lifts once more,
under the name of Modeftus, with this celebrated and ftill concealed writer,
in defence of a late General Officer, who had been arrefted for debt,
and who was faid to have been refcued. In October, 1769, he retired
to South Carolina for the recovery of his health, and took the opportu-
nity to make the Tour of North America. That year he married Miſs De

ample fortune; fhe afterwards married Capt. Gore, and is now dead.
May 29, 1779, Sir William being then in rank a Lieutenant-General, was
appointed Lieutenant-Governour of Minorca, on the furrender of which
ifland he exhibited twenty-nine charges againſt the late Governour, Nov.
11, 1782. Of theſe twenty-feven were deemed frivolous and ground-
lefs, and for the other two the Governour was reprimanded. Sir
William was then ordered to make an apology to General Murray, for hav-
ing inſtituted the trial against him, in which he acquiefced. From this time
