TN Thomas Baker's preface to The Jvneral Sermon of
"^ Margaret, Coantess of Richmond and Derby, Lond.
170S, pp. Iv, Ivi, we read : ' Haring opeu'd the FouQdatioo,
I shall reeerre the Account of its Qrowth and Frc^rese to
a larger Design, which possibly may oae day see the
Light, or if it should not (ae there are some Arcana
CoUegii in every Society, not so proper to be made
publick) I will either leave it to the Society, or in such
hands, as being above mean and little Ends, I am well
assured, will never prostitute it to Mercenary Designs.
From thence will appear, how from such small Begin-
oingB, in a few Years, by good Conduct and prudent
Management of a faithfiil Executor and liberal Bene-
factor, as well as of a careful, active Master, I do not
mean Mr. Percy, it grew, or rather run up, almost to
the present height wherein it stands ; and it will afford
a different Yiew of Things, from what we have hitherto
had. And either I am much deceiv'd, or from the short
Specimen I have already given in this one Society, it
will appear, that our common Accouuta are full of Mis-
take ; and so, no doubt, they are in other Societies, in
those that have held an Intercourse with the old House,
and particularly at Pder House, that was originally found-
ed upon it, I can be pretty positive ; and this I mention
VI XDVCRTtSEMEKT.
to excite those of other Houses to look into their Foun-
dations, and not to sit down under common Mistakes and
vulgar Opinions.'
The histoiy of St John's, now first printed, is MS.
Harl. 1039, the 12th of the 23 volumes of Baker MSS. now
deposited in the British Museum. I have corrected b;
the original the transcript given to St. John's by Dr.
Newcome (see below, pp. 555, 556, 1050, 1061), which
the college liberally allowed me to use as copy for the
printer, A comparison of hands proves that the ' Italian '
transcriber was the Neapolitan convert Antonio Ferrari,
who was seen at St John's by Uffenbach in 1713, and
who shewed his gratitude to the college for its hospitality
by bequeathing to it in 17W the unique collection of
early tracts relating to the French and Italian reforma-
tions, some of which came from Bullinger's library (MSS.
class O). It is to be regretted that so capable an editor
as Zach. Grey could not obtain leave to publish the
histoiy (below p. 1051 I 20 seq., where we are told that
in 1782 the design was not yet abandoned).
Geo. Dyer's Primlegea oftheiiniv. of Cambridge. Lond.
1824, 8vo. II. 73 : 'I have somewhere hinted (and I
i^ke from authority] that a fellow of St. John's was
preparing to print Mr. Baker's History.. .The gentleman
[Thos. Smart Hughes] who undertook this office after-
wards went abroad, and. ..being now very usefully and
assiduously engaged as tutor in another college. Trinity
hall, he has of course relinquished the design.'
The compilers of the Indem to the Baker M88. Cambr.
1847, 8vo. pref. vii, say that 'the publication of this
highly interesting volume was advertised more than
twelve years since.'
The reader is indebted to the liberality of the syndics
of the Pitt press for the ftilfilment of so long deferred

hopes i indeed the book might have appeared six years
ago, but for the additiona which have been made to the
original text.
Id order to sapfdy a test of the accuracy of at least a
portion of Baker's statementB, I have given a calendar of
some of the principal documents in the treasury. The
lists of fellows after 1645 and all other catalogues and
notices respecting BC^olarships and college offices have
been taken directly from the registers.
No apology is needed for printing Wm. Cole's notes
and continuation. My own suf^lemeats, which take up
more than half of the volume, are drawn with few ez-
c^iona from bit^^phical collections formed during the
last 15 yean. The two names to which I have devoted
special research, those of bishops Marsh and Samuel
Butler, seemed to justify the exceptiontd space allotted
to them : for the one rescued the richest professorship in
the oniveraity &om the suspicious company of 'valuable
rinecures ' (see below p. 1030 n.) and introduced critical
theology into England ; the other was one of those re-
formers of our public schools, whose merits have been
unjustly obscured l^ the name of Arnold.
I have not printed the commemoration book, dated
1683, which Baker 'transcribed with all its &ultB,' parUy
because the greater part of its contents is ^ven in a
more authentic form in the calendar, partly because 1
have not seen the original
The publication of this volume, following hard upon
Mr. Searle's elaborate history of Queens', and soon to be
followed by Prof. Willis's architectural history of the uni-
versity, may, it is hoped, direct the attention of other col-
leges to their hidden treasures ; e.g. it ia a reproach to
Cains that the founders AnnaU, to Sidney that Dr. Ward's
diaiy, to Trinity that its eariy statutes, still luik in manu<

script oblivion. Those ■who cannot give their labour in
return for the benefactions which the; enjoj, ma; per-
haps compound by supplying the Cambridge Antiquarian
Society with means to do the work for them. The sin-
gular activity of the Early English Text Society proves
that Cambridge has many sons who do not shrink from
unpaid toil
I have to thank the Rev. Henry Russell of St. John's
college for one quotation, and the Bev. H. R Luard, regis-
trary of the university, for three. Mr. Norris Deck has
added greatly to the value of the book by the careful in-
dexes and tables of contents ; Mr. Bielefeld, of the uni-
versity libraiy, by transcribing into my interleaved Qror
duati notices from the Cambridge Chronicle.
With a view to future labours in this field I venture
to invite the cooperation of members of the college and
of all others who are possessed of information relating to
any names which have been inscribed on our boards. It
is possible that the missing register of admissions [from
28 June 1755 to 8 July 1767] may still be recovered
from the family of some former master or bursar.
Relatives may render cheap and solid service to letters
by depositing complete sets of the works, particularly of
the pamphlets, of a deceased author, in the library of his
Alma Mater.

Ah ! how unequal are my best returns,
And yet my breast with zeal and flaming burns.

PREFACE.
When I first entered upon these inquuiee^
I had little thoughts of giving an account of the
foundation of the coU^e. A worthy, friend of
mine, who designed a view of Yorkshire hating
5 sent to me above twenty years ago, to desire an
account of our Yorkshire bene&ctora, I complied
with his request not very unwillingly, thinking
I had nothing more to do than to transcribe the
commemoration book, or at most to consult the
to bursar's books. After I had done this, I was
not satisfied, finding (as I thought) that they were
both defective, and not well agreeing with one
another. This put me upon a further search, and
being desirous not to deceive my friend, I sought
15 for access to the treasury, thftt was then not very
easy for me to come at, but having made my
way to it with some diQculty, I found my sus<
picions were not groundless ; I could then easily
discover several mist^es, and particularly thai
30 Bishop Fisher and some other private founders
had not been duly regarded ; and observing this,
I begun to suspect that since there were such
mL3takes in these, the rest of our accounts might
be equally authentic.
_ _dt» Google
And 80 indeed I found them : I first thought
that nothing was more unquestionable than that
Alan Percy was our first master, and that Robert
Shorton, though he were sometimes named as mas-
ter, yet had been some inconsiderable man, and had 5
had little share in the affairs of the house ; I was
amazed to find him not only named aa master
in the charter of the foundation, but in audit-
rolls, college books, in the several computuses for
building the college, in several public ihstru- 10
ments and in the pubUc register of the uni-
veri^ty, and in all these, before Alan Percy had
any thing to do with the afiairs of the house ; and
that Mr Percy, who had made so great a noise,
had lefl us little more than the reputation 15
of his n^me, which, bating his family, was not
great.
My first thoughts were that the Coll^pe was
opened about the year 1508. It was very sur-
prising to me to find it was not founded till the ao
year 1511 and was not opened till the year
1 516; and I could hardly have believed it, had
I not viewed the original charter of the founda-
tion, as well as the original instrument of opening
the college, and could almost hare suspected the 2$
latter, it being so negligently preserved, had I
not found it entered upon the college register
in the treasury and attested by a public notary.
This stOl led me to further inquiries, and these
inquiries usually ended in further discoveries, so 30
many, that I at last persuaded myself to think
of giving a more authentic, though yet very im-
perfect account of these matters.
_ _dt» Google
When I had made some progress therein, I
had intiniation given me of a complete history
of St John's college, wrote by Dr M., suppressed
for some time for no very weighty reasonB, but
5 intended to be delivered to the society at a cer-
tain period. This, as it gave me a curiosity to
Bee it, 80 it raiBed an expectation of somewhat
very complete and perfect, and such as might super-
sede all my small endeavours, Dr M. having had
lo better opportunities and much greater abilities,
than I can pretend to. At length I procured a
sight of it by the assistance of a very worthy
friend, but was as much disappointed as before.
I found he had gone little further than his own -
15 o£Sce (for be was a bursar), that he had delivered
nothing but common things, and bad swallowed
down all tbe common mistakes. It was strange to
me, that a man that had such free access to the
treasury should never have seen the origiDal
30 charter of the foundation, the ac,t or instrument
of opening the college, tbe several compositions
with tbe bishop of Ely and other public instru-
ments and scattered papers, without which a man
must eternally wander and can deliver Httle where-
35 on we can depend. And yet so it was ; he had
either seen nothing of this kind, or if he had seen
it, had never perused it, or what would be much
more tmaccountable, after perusal has deserted
hia only sure guides, to follow a cloud. And yet
30 having done this, and confirmed so many common
mistakes by a fresh authority, it was the more neces-
sary to discover his errors, lest tbey sbould gather
new strength by the reputation of his name.
_ _di» Google
upon these motives and occasions I under-
took tliis design, and went tlirough with it in the
year 1707, as low as Dr Tuckney. Since that
I- have met with Mr Strype's papers and several
oth&r considerable helps, and some others I have 5
in view, that would help to perfect such a design :
nor do I want inclination to prosecute it, were
my health less uncertain, had I such opportunities
as I could wish for, or were not the expense such,
to do it to purpose, as suits ill with my circum* 10
stances. For which reasons I am very doubtful
whether I shall ever review and enlarge it, as I
once intended, though I am much more capahle
of doing it now than I was some years ago.
If I should not, I shall leave room for future 15
endeavours, and to those that come after ; if every
one will add somewhat to what I have done, it
may be a complete work in time. As it is, I
am sensible enough it is very imperfect, and yet
with all its defects, I think I may say without ^o
vanity, I could have wrote a history of England
with as Uttle trouble, I am sure with less difficulty,
than I have wrote this imperfect essay'. In such
a work there is little more to be done, than to
copy from others ; whereas in this, I have copied 25
from none, but have corrected many, and some-
times where I have not named them.
Should I ever go further, as I have already
done some right to the bishop of Kochester, so
I owe the like to my lord Burghley, who, as 30
he was a true friend to the university, so par-
ticularly he was a constant patron and protector

to this college during the long and happj reign
of queen Elizabeth, oflen tinited the fellows
when they were broken by their own divisionfl^
kept them within tolerable bounds when by their
5 indiscreet zeal they were running into confusion, and
by preserving good order and discipline among
them rescued them from being a nest of zealous
Puritans, which without him they must probably
haye been. To say nothing of his private bene-
lo &^ions, which I have accounted for, the many
letters and papers I have seen express abundantly
his affection to the house, which he usually styled
his beloved college, and that when they had done
enough to forfeit his esteem. In one word, he
15 was another bishop Fisher to this society, and
when I have said this, I have said everything
that can be expected from the bounty or indul-
gence of a patron. And yet notwithstanding his
great and signal services, little of tMs kind can
90 be gathered from our own stores. Some few
letters of compliment have been preserved^ whilst
things of greater moment have been neglected,
and must have utterly perished, had not the
originals been preserved by Mr Hicks his lord-
ag ship's secretary, now in the custody of my worthy
friend Mr Strypo, and are of much more value
in the aifairs of that reign than any thing that
is to be met with at Cambridge'.

of the late worthy bishop of Ely. But I met
with such enteTtainment from Monsieur De Xa
iFaye, as I was soon weary of a fruitless attend-
ance there. And yet I gratified his clerk pretty
liberally, who seemed willing to serve me, had he 5

that moment I threw aside my papers, being un-
willing to trouble the world with an imperfect

ST JOHN'S HOUSE OR HOSPITAL
PRIORY OF CANONS BEOFLAR.
St John's college ha-ring l>een fonnded npon St John's
hospital or honse, before I enter upon the college, it will
not be improper to Ba7 somewhat of the house; which
though a diy employment, yet as it was not onpleasant
S to me to trace out the beginnings and progress of this
ancient foundation, bo I hope, it will not be disagreeable
to any member of the society to see its foundations
laid open, which are yet buried in some obscori^ and
darkness.
lo One thing is well known, that it was a. house of
canons regular, and Nigellna second bishop of Ely is
generally received as its ori^nal founder ; if so, its found-
ationa were laid in gratitude and loysl^ (the seeds whereof
being sown deep, hare not since been easily rooted out).
15 For this Nigellns having been promoted by Henry the
!First towards the conclusion of his reign, did afterwards
adhere firmly to the true interest of his daughter and
grandson, the empress Maud and Heniy the Second,
againat the nsurpation of king Stephen ; and having owed
ao bis advanceoient to that learned prince (who, if we believe
Sudbnm', was not only a student at Cambridge, but
took a degree of master of arts there), he might possibly
have regard to his learned patron in fixing his foundation
here at Cambridge.

When that was done, la not bo well agreed on, nor are
its original endowments so easily discovered. Most that have
treated on this subject seem to place its foondation about
the latter end of king Ilenry the First, or under the reign
of king Stephen ; hut Nigellus could hare little time S
under the first reign', and less opportunity under the latter,
having been a confessor under Stephen, once banished in
his person, confiscated in estate twice or thrice, and himself
reduced to that extreme degree of necessity and want, that
he was forced not only to part with all that was his own, lo
bat to pawn the relics of his church* to the Jews at
Cambridge, to redeem his peace.
The next was a more auspicious reign to our bishop,
but even then too he was under continual difficulties: for
as before he had been pursued and ruined by the king, 15
80 in this reign he was embroiled with the pope, who
(though his own countryman, for Adrian the Fourth then
reigned) suspended him for some pretended injuries offered
to his monks, nor could he be assoiled but at the instance
of the king and bishops after restitution made and right ao
done to the monks at Ely for these pretended injuries*.
There was one other bar to our bishop's charity, that he
had a son who was a constant drain to him, and cost him
immense sums in advancing him, till at last (at a vast
expense) he brought him to succeed his father, our bishop, 25
in the treasury of England.
All this considered, there will be little time or room
left for charity : and to speak the truth, though I will not
deny our bishop the honour of a founder against so full
a consent, yet I am of opinion that he had no great 30
share in this foundation; and that rather by granting
licence, and perhaps some privileges and immunities, aa
bishop of the diocese, than by any great charities of
his own.

set forth (and tliia upon oatb) that the master and brethren
of the hospital of St John the evangelist at Cambridge
held a certain plat of ground in fee of the king, whereon
the said hospital with the chapel was founded; which said
5 plat of ground a certain burgess of Cambridge, named
Hemy Frost', gave to the village of Cambridge, to build
a hospital for the use of the poor and infirm; that the
presentation of the master there used and of right ought
to belong to the said burgesses, who held the said village
10 in fee of the king: notwithstanding, the presentation of
the said master had been unjustly alienated from the said
burgesses by Hugh Norwold, formerly bishop of Ely, and
his successors*, who had made masters of the hospital, at
their will and discretion, in exheredation of the king and
15 to the grieTouB damage of the burgesses of Cambridge,
That this had been often complained of to king Henry,
father of the present king, and his counsel, as likewise
to the justices itinerant and the inquisitors at Cambridge
of the present king, viz. king Edward now reigning, and
ao yet they had met with no redress. And further, that it
was to be remembered that the presentation to the said
mastership had been alienated from the burgesses within
the space of thirty years; which Alls in the reign of
Henry the Third, and the foundation may he supposed to
'5 have been under Henry the Second. So that if we will
believe an ancient judicial testimony, and this upon oath
(which ought to he of much more weight than any modem
flying evidence that is opposed), Henry Frost and the
burgesses of Cambridge have the beat title to this foun-
30 dation.
One other complaint was then made by the burgesses
of Camlffidge against the encroachments of the bishops of
Ely, which, because it gives light to a very remarkable
period and shews uiother vast growth from a small be-
35 ginning, I wUl here take notice ot The burgesses of

16 ST John's boitse or hospital.
Cambridge (I suppose) as fonnders, Lad the presentation
to the hospital of lepers' at Steresbridge near Barnwell,
where there was, and is yet, a small cliapel (then endowed)
dedicated to St Maiy Magdalene*: this, they complain,
had been likewise alienated irom them by Hugh Norwold 5
and his snccessors, who had collated chaplains at their
pleasure. Bat what is most remarkable, they find apon
inquisition that there was a certain fair belonging to the
said hospital at the feast of the exaltation of the holy
cross within the precincts of the hospital, which was held lo
by grant from king John for the use and maintenance of
the lepers; which falling in September, within the pre-
sent compass allotted for that purpose, did doubtless pve
birth and original to Sturbridge fair, lliis is certain,
that in Henry the Fourth's time the chaplain", John 15
Axondell, of the free chapel of Steresbrigge claimed a
right of stallage within the precincts of that chapel from
all persons merchandizing in that fair, and upon a hearing
in the Exchequer the same privilege was adjudged to him
upon this plea, that the same right had been enjoyed there 20
by his predecessors. This perhaps is too large a digression,
but will not, I hope, be unacceptable to scholars, being
only a ramble from Cambridge to Sturbridge fair.
To return to the house; I should not have ventured to
have opposed so received an opinion apon less evidence 25
than I have produced, though I have mnch further, evi-
dence to confirm me in my opinion. I never could meet
with any ancient history that says any thing of such a
foundation by Nigellus bishop of Ely, nor have our
modem antiquaries vouched any such authorities, which 30
to me shews they either wanted them, or were very much
wanting to themselves. The Statona Elienm, which is
more large upon this bishop than any of the rest, though
it says much of his losses and expenses, yet of his charities
it is perfectly silent. Among all the grants, confirmations, 35
rules or inatitutions that were given to the old house by
his successors the bishops of Ely, there is not any (that
ever I could meet with, and I believe I have seen them
all) wherein mention is made of Nigellus bishop of Ely,

and jet it is nsual with bishops in sach inetances to re-
cite the grants and privileges of their predecessors. The
same may be said of the bulla of confirmation of Gregory ' and
Innocent the Fourth; wherein though Innocent descends
5 to very minute particulars, yet nothing is said of this
founder. Amongst all the grants and charters of the old
house, which are pretty numerous, some of very ancient
date, and some so ancient as to want a date, I never could
hit upon any by Nigellus, after the strictest inquiry,
10 tliough the monnmenta of the old house are yet tolerably
complete. And because ancient charters are little things,
the more ancient, stilt the less, and consequently might
easily be lost, there is an ancient cartulary*, older than
King's college (for therein is mention of our tenement in
15 St John Baptist's parish, then St Cross' hostel, since
part of the site of that college, by exchange with Henry
the Sixth for the fish ponds near St John's). In that
cartulary, which contains copies of the grants and charters
f>( our benefactors, there is the same silence as amongst
3Q the charters. To say no more upon this head, there is a
catalogue' of such founders and benefactors, as were to be
prayed for by the religions brethren; Eostachius bishop
of £ly stands in the front of that catalogue, as he well
deserves, (the family of the Mortimers stand next, who
25 gave endowments in the reign of Heniy the Third) and no
more mention of oar supposed founder, than if he had
never been; which bad been an unpardonable omission,
had he been really a founder, and had conferred such en-
dowments, as he is supposed to have done.
30 For they that have made him so great a founder, have
likewise discovered large endowments ; archbishop Parker*,
and after him Richard Parker', two very learned anti-
quaries, suppose him to have endowed it with revenues
to the value of £140 per annum. For this the archbishop
35 seems to refer to the bull of Julius the Second, the bull,
I suppose, of dissolution, which is n(Mie of the best autho-
rities for tbe original foundation. I have an extract of

tliat ball, wherein are the words that seem to be referred'
to : in m^ cop; no more is said, but that the reTenoes of
the house, within ten years, had been reduced to £30 from
£76 of annual revenue, which pope Julius Buppoaes it to
have been endowed with ten years before, bat says nothing 5
of its original endowment ; nor can 1 easily guess out the
mistake, unless seventy be mistaken for serenscore.
There were indeed two bulls of dissolution obtfuned
from that pope, for the first having mistakes (and this
might be one of them) they were forced to send to Rome lo
the second time for new bulls in better form. The originals
of these balls are lost ; for bulls of privilege were sent up
to Cromwell at his visitation under Henry the Eighth,
and were not thought fit to be restored, the pope's power
being then vested in the king, who by virtue of his supie- ig
macy could then give as laige privileges, as popes had
done before. Which of these bulls, or what iJopy, the
archbishop had seen, I do not know, but I will suppose
it to be the true one, and truly represented, being un-
willing to question any thing that is said by so excellent ao
a person ; and allowing it to be so, it is yet of no great
weight with me : for the pope could say nothing but by
information &om hence, and it is plain from other par-
ticulars that his holiness had been ill informed. The
pope in that bull* seta forth, that the house Had for some 25
years and did then want a prior, whereas William Tomlyn
had been prior several years, and did not resign his claim
till some years after ; he says, there were only two broth»3
then remaining in the house, whereas there were three
brothers after the dissolution that received pension from 30
the college, Sir Christopher Wright,' Sir John Kensham,
and Sir William Chandler. And whereas he says, the
revenues of the house were then reduced to £30 per annam,
it is very certain, the annual revenues of the house were
£80. 1«. lOd.* oh. after some charges and encumbrances 35

But thoogh the state of its affairs vas liad eooogti, yet
I doabt not but it was made somewhat worse than it really •
waa; for the hooBe being to be condemned, they were to
load the indictment : this likewiBe might be some reason
5 for setting the original endowment so high, to make the
brethren more criminal and the waste the greater.
The tmth of it is, its original endowments were very
ioconsiderable, as appears both by its small beginnings, as
likewise by its continual growth, by the additional grants
lo at different times of different benefactors, who were so
nnmerons that the caxtolaiy of the old house does make
a volume.
But these grants were little things, houses in the town
of Cambridge, or little tenements in the county. For in
15 Innocent' the Foiulh's time, who recites its endowments
when 'they were pretty considerably augmented, it had
then spread no further than the county of Cambridge,
whereas at the dissolution they had some lands both in
Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Essex. And therefore Dr
20 C^os in this matter seems to be in the right, who sup-
poses it to have been a poor house (and to have wanted
augmentation in its beginnings], as it really was and is
said to have been by the bishops of Ely' (who knew it
best) and particularly by Simon Montacute*, who sets out
35 its wants with some tenderness and compassion.

of £5 per aimam for a constant vicar, which he left to
the patronage of his sncceaaorfl the biflhops of Ely. He
Hkewiae appropriated St Peter's church in Cambridge'
(now Little St Mary's) to the religious brethren at St
John's : and that tliey might not want firing, he gare 5
them two ships or boats, to carry wood or turf from
Ely marshes to keep them warm. He likewise granted to
the hospital and the brethren there Itberam cantartam
et gejntlturam, ubi votuerinf et elegerint*, or free sepulture,
where they would or should choose, which privilege was lo
afterwards confirmed by Innocent the Fourth, and was in-
deed purchased by them by agreement, upon a valuable
consideration, of Leticta prioress and the nuns of St
Mary and St Kadegund patronesses of All Saints' church,
being the parish wherein the house was situated, which 15
as it was confirmed by Eustachius bishop of Ely, so he
was likewise witness to the same agreement, as appears
very fully from the original instruments amongst th3
monuments* of the old house; where he does not only
grant as bishop, but signs as witness. 30
It was probably upon this ground and these encourage-
ments, that his successors, the bishops of Ely, set up for
founders and patrons: for this worthy prelate having
granted privileges as well as endowments (though he him-
self, who best deserved it, assumes no such title in bis 25
grants), yet it was a plausible ground to his successors to
claim some share in this foundation, and possibly no un-
aoceptable occasion to the brethren to shake off (what might
seem to them) a servile dependance, and put themselves
under a greater and safer protection. It seems Hugh 3°
Norwold struck id with their inclinations against the
clamours of the townsmen, and having been once himself
a monk (and consequently more acceptable to the religious)
and afterwards a very wealthy and potent prelate, they
could not have chose a safer patronage : though I do not si
find he did them any signal service, imless by confirming
the grants of his predecessor, and by agreeing the differ-

encea', that had again broke out betwixt them and the
ntms; as well as by procuring for them an exemption
from taxing, at his instance with Hugo de Hottun, chan-
cellor of the university of Cambridge an. 1246, for two
5 of tbeir hooses near St Peter's church, now part of the
, site of St Peter's college; which I do not mention as
any remarkable favour, but as an ancient precedent of the
university's power and privilege of taxing houses, and as
the first instance of a cbancellor* of Cambridge, that yet
lo appears from any authentic account.
Bishop Norwold's immediate successor was William de
Kilkenny, who continued his patronage to the hospital,
and though he had not time to shew any particular' in-
stances of his affection to it, having Bat only one year in
15 that see, yet deserves to be remembered for his benefaction
to the university of Cambridge. He left 200 marks to the
priory of Bemwell, for the maintenance of two chaplains*
students in divinity in that university, who were to pray
for his soul, and to receive annually ten marks from the
20 priory : but because the annual charge was rather more
than the gift or bequest would allow, the prior there,
lolanns de Thorley, begged the church of AU Saints near
the castle in Cambridge of the succeeding bishop, to be
appropriated to the priory, which be obtained upon the
35 resignation of Adam de Buden, the last rector of that
church; and so the annaal pension of ten marks was to be
paid to the two clerks students at Cambridge out of the
revenue of that church, with some other security for the
payment: which bene&ction was one of the first endow-
30 ments or exhibitions granted to this university, and that
at large, there being no particular endowed college then
founded; for the which our good bishop was anciently
prayed for, in the ancient formulary of prayer or mass for
onr benefactors*.

I have insisted the more upon this particular, because
thoBgli it may be somewhat foreign to the bnsinesa 1 am
upon, yet it probably led to that which follows.
The next in order was Hugh Balsham, a name welt
known, and aa well deserving of the nmversity of Cam- 5
bridge. His predecessor having ^ven a hint to the
bringing learning and religion together by endowing
students upon the canons of Bemwell, it was pretty
natural to improve the design by bringing them yet nearer
and closer together in the same place; and being now lo
patron here and acting with a fundatorial power, it was
easy for him to effect his design.
However he proceeded in a regular manner, and having
first obtained the king's licence' and the consent of the
brethren, he brought in and engrafted secular scholars '5
upon the old stock, endowing them in common with the
religious brethren, as well with the revenues of the old
house, aa with additional revenues, granted with regard
to, and in contemplation of his new foundation: and so
the regular canons and secular scholars became unum ^o
corpus et unum collegium*, and were the first endowed
college in this university, and possibly in any other uni-
versity whatsoever.
Tiie precise time when this was done, or how long
they contmued together, does not so clearly appear; for 25
though the licence* to this purpose was obtained from
Edward the First an. regn. nono, Decembr. 27, and there
might be no full and thorough settlement till this time,
yet I am apt to believe they were placed here (though
not fully settled) much sooner, and my reason is this, 30
because they are said by Simon Montacnte* {who knew
very well) to have continued here per longa tempora,
which in no construction of words can be understood
otherwise, than that they were placed here very early,

and towards the beginning of Hngh Baleliam's prelacy
at Ely : for that they were here before he was bishop, I
can hardly imagine, he having nothing to do with the
govemment of the hoose before he was bishop.
5 If this be not allowed, I have nothing more to say, for
it is evident &om the king's licence, the original whereof
is amongst our archives, that their first legal settlement
here was no ancienter than the ninth of Edward the First,
an. 1280, Decembr. 27. Dr Caius and Mr Wharton' {I
lo snppose from Caius, with some little correction in the
date) have found a grant to these scholars, an. 1273 Mali
15, according to the first, an. 1274, according to the latter:
if any such were, it must have been made to them whilst
they were yet in the old house ; for it is very certain,
15 both from the original instrument of partition by Hugh
Balsham, as well as from the instniments of submission to
his arbitrement both by the brethren and scholars, that
they were not removed to Peterhouae till the year 1284.
But I cannot but suspect there is some mistake, for that
20 which Dr Caius speaks of was for annexing the house
of the brethren de pceaitenlta Jeaa to these scliolars an.
1273, in the second year of Edward the First. It is trne,
there were such friatfl, situated against the Gilbertines, or
White Canons, and St Edmund's chapel, at or near
25 the place where St Peter's college now stands ; where
having built themselves apartments and erected a chapel,
this made it very convenient for founding a college. But
then I meet with these friars here in the third year of
Edward the First; nor were they suppressed till an. 1274,
30 at the second council of Lyons* (the first session whereof
was held in May, and was not up, nor anything concluded,
till a long time after] which limited the number of friars
to the four great established orders of Dominicans, Fran-
ciscans, Augustins and Carmelites, and suppressed all the
35 other strolling sects. And yet these brethren seem to

have held their gronnd some time longer, which makes
me suspect thej were not taken into the college' tilt some
time after the fcnmdation, wherein I am the more con-
firmed, becaose Hngh Balsham in his settlement takes no
notice of anj sach place, only of the two hostels belonging 5
to St John's, (unless we will aaj they were tenants to
that house). This will correct another mistake in Dr
Cains', who has discovered an hostel of secular brethren
of St John, whereto he allots a share in the site of this
college; whereas it coold be no distinct hostel from these lo
two belon^ng to the regalars, who in onr old deeds and
instraments are frequently staled jratrea et cUrici aecu-
lares, and seem to have been so in their original foon-
dation, and might have continued so, had not Innocent the
Fourth given them (what he indeed says they had before) 15
the more honourable style and title of canons according to
the order of St Austin.
Hugh BaUham most probably (for it might be Hngh
Norwold, there being no date) gave them an additional
role to the rule of St Austin. But the scholars were 20
left by the ting to be governed by another rule", aeoundum
reguhm Bcholarium, qui de Merton cognominantur, as the
words are in the king's original licence. For that the
statutes of Merton were older than the king's licence to
Hngh Balsham will sufficiently appear from very im- 25
partial evidence, that will not lie, the register at Durham*,
there being a copy of them (possibly as old as the original,
it being entered upon the oldest book in that church) bear-
ing date an. 1274.
I shall only add upon this partition, that the division 30
was made upon the disagreement and heats of the two
different parties, which though sometimes composed, yet
always broke out into now flames upon fresh occasions
(the scholars being too wise, and the brethren possibly

over good) vhich grev at last to that height, that after
neither tbe good offices nor the authority of their patron
could allaj them, he was forced at last to give waj to a
divisioD, and place them at a greater distance : wherein, as
5 the students seem to have been more to blame, bo the
brethren were the more eager of the two to part, and out
of this eagerness thej seem to have had the worse share
in the division or exchange, whereof they afterwards com-
plained. For as they gave up the impropriation of St
lo Peter's church (now Little St Mary's) with the two
adjoining hostels, bo they received only as a compensation
from the bishop out of the Btudents' revenues an hostel
over against the Dominicans (now Emmanuel college),
afterwards styled Sudd's hostel, with an annual rent
15 charge bought of Isabella Wombe, the value whereof being
not specified, I will suppose to have been very small, with
some old houses formerly belonging to tlie rector of
Eywortb and to Robert Aunger adjoining to the hospital.
Yet they had the less reason to complain, tbe bishop hav-
30 ing formerly been a benefactor by conferring on them the
vicarage' of Homingaey in the tenth year of his pontificate,
and BO that living became a curacy, and wea afler served
by any member of their body : though it cost them much
trouble and expense, for notwithstanding this grant, the
35 archbishop in his metropolitical visitation institoted a per-
petual vicar, one Reginald de Lenma, who could not be
ejected without appealing to the pope, then Nicholas the
Third; who upon a hearing by a delegation to the prior
of Huntingdon, adjudged the vicarage to the house.
30 And thus I have done with this noted transaction,
wherein we may see and admire the providence of God,
in bringing so much good ont of diBcord and division, and
in making the acatteriog of these Levites to become a

blessing. Ko doubt onr good bishop was much grieved
with these divisions ; but conld he have foreaeeii, that this
broken and imperfect Bociety was to give birth to two
great and lasting foundations, and that two colleges were
to be built upon one, he would have had much joy in his 5
disappointment.
In his time or Hugh Korwold's (for it was done with
the consent of Hugh bishop of Ely) William Twylet
founded a chantry in St Mary's chapel, in St Sepul-
chre's church, the duty whereof was to be discharged 10
by 3 brother of St John's, for the which he gave lands
to the house in the town and fields of Cambridge : the
charter being without date was probably given in Hugh
Norwold's time ; for moat of the grants ot charters under
Hugh Bal&ham are dated, whereas the older charters are 15
often without date. Wherever we place it, St Sepul-
chre's was then a parish church, and this falling in the
period of time before the Jews were banished Cambridge
(for in a transcript of a grant to William Twylet from the
hospital there is mention of s house then in possession of 20
a Jew, and about the same time there is an original' con-
cerning the sale of a house in that parish belonging to
Molley a Jew) gives good ground to believe that it was
not a Jewish synagogue, aa Dr Cains and others have
supposed it to have been. The Jews were banished Kng- 35
land, as well as Cambridge, after Hugh Balsham's death,
in the eighteenth of Edward the First; in the nineteenth
of his reign we find him disposing of some of their houses
in the Jewry in Cambridge to Koger Maniannt and others.
But it is certain from an inquisition* taken in the third 3°
year of this king's reign, that St Sepulchre's in the
Jewry was then a church belon^ng to the prior and con-
vent of Bemwell in proprioa usua: and yet higher, in the
last year of Henry the Third, there is an original' grant
of a house in St Sepulchre's parish to G-alfridus de 35
Alderhethe perpetual vicar of. St Sepulchre's church ; so'
that it was then a vicarage, and was no doubt a par-
sonage many years before, and in the oldest accounts that
I have met with it is always a church.

There is no doabt, the Jews were very nnmeroui) in
that part of the town of Cambridge ; we often meet with
St Sepalchre's and St John's hospital in the Jewry; nay
the Jewry reached yet further, for in oar old deeds we
5 meet with All Saints' church in the Jewry, as opposed to
All Saints* near the castle: in an old taxation* of the
several churches in the diocese of Ely, made by the bishops
of Winton and Lincoln by the authority (as is there said)
of Nicholas the Fourth an. 1291, the year after the Jews
lo were banished, we both meet with St Sepulchre's and
with All Saints' tn Judaisma. And therefore it is very
probable they had a synagogue, and from all the marks of
antiquity and religion yet remaining, I am apt to snspect
the stone' hostel near adjoining was the place. Tn all
15 appearance it most have been a place either of learning or
religion, it was no seat of learning to us (though it has
borne the name of Bede's house, who never' came south
of Homber) having formerly belonged to one Joceus a
Jew, for so he is styled in an original grant of Boger
20 &Ianiaunt ; afterwards it came to the priory of Bemwell,
and now belongs to St John's college: and possibly
the canons of Bemwell, as they were patrons of the
church, so might have an ambition to be masters of the
synagi^ue.
35 What then shall we say to this church? I suppose it
was built pretty early, ia the age of the crusades, in honour
and memory of the holy .sepulchre, when devotion ran
much that way, and probably the Templars were the
builders thereof. For that they had a temple at Cam-
30 bridge we are well assured bam -very good authority*,
which unless it were here, I do not know where to find
it. And whoever looks upon the temple of the sepulchre
at Jerusalem, or rather that part of it, that is styled the
temple' of the Besnrrection, or the Rotunda at Jerusalem,

will have so fn21 and clear an idea of the Bound church at
Cambridge (and the Temple church' at London is or was
of the same figure) aa eaaily to imagine, the model of this
church might be brought from thence. Though the shape
and figure of this church might be otherwise accounted 5
for from its situation, which is so confined, that there is
almost a necessit/ of having it round, there being hardly
room left to stretch it out iu length. But if the Templars
were founders, being canons regular by their institution,
they might part with their interest in it to the canons of lo
Bemwell, being of near affinity, aud all this possibly, as
well the founding as disposing, with some regard to the
conrersion or humiliation of the neighbouring Jews.
To return to our learned bishop; as he was a benefactor
to ^e college and house, bo he likewise was to the uni- 15
versity, aa well by his good offices in composing differences
arising among them , as by granting real privileges, which was
then in the power of a bishop of Ely to do, before the pope's
exemptions had freed them from his ordinary episcopal ju-
risdiction. And therefore be ordained' that there should lie ao
no immediate appeal from the chancellor of the university
to the bishop of Ely, without having the cause first ad-
judged by an appeal to the body. And there being then
another body of grammarians in the university, under the
government of the archdeacon of Ely and the magiater 25
Glomeriffi, he limited the power of the archdeacon and of
that master over these grammarians.
This magistei Glomerisa has puzzled all oar antiqua-
ries, some making him the same with the senior regent,
others, the orator ; one man makes him register, and an- 30
other, the sacellanus or university chaplain. He might

happen accidentalljr to be any of these, for he was osuall/
chose oat of the piiocipal regents, and commonly, some
noted hamanist oi orator : bat that he was distinct from
them all is pretty evident, because he continued an officer
5 after all these offices were in being.
Bishop Wren' is the most onhappy in his conjecture,
who makes him to be the same with the aacellanos or
chaplain ; whereas this officer was mach more modern in
his institution, and his du^ very different, being to com-
iomemo»te and pray for the benefactors to the university,
and do the other duties of a chaplain. This office con-
tinued some time after part of the dnty ceased, and part
of its endowment (being a house in Shoemakers' Row)
was not alienated till an. 1599, 'when Dr Jegon being
15 vice-chancellor, it was sold' by a grace of the house, thoagh
(as is there said) it had been given in p{o» uaus. An-
other part of his salary was upon degrees, which was con-
tinued to the chaplain, or to the miiversi^ imder his
name, till an. 1611*, aboat which time, or somewhat
zo sooner, the public library keep» and orator's salary being
augmented from degrees, this payment to the chaplun
ceases. From this time I hear no more of this officer.
But the magister Glomeriee is not heard of bo late, and
was an officer very different from the chaplain. He was
25 originally a sort of rector of the grammarians, as the
chancellor was of the masters and other scholars ; he had
a power of examining and approving such as took degrees
in grammar, both to their learning and manners, and in
leaser causes had a jurisdiction over these grammarians:
30 and as the chancellor took an oath to the bishop of Ely at
his confirmation, till an exemption was obtained from*
Boniface the I^inth, so ths magister Glomeri^ took an
oath (at his ftdmission) to the archdeacon, even after this ex-
emption, for the dae observance and performance of his office:
.tn the last instance whereof, that I meet with, was by John
Newton', M. A., admitted magister Glomeriee by the arch-

deacon's official November 6 an. 1452, upon his taking
tbB usual oath. Tlie power of the magiater Glomerisa was
afterwards more limited, and the last that bore that office
fas far as ray obaeTTatioD yet reaches) was Mt Cheeke
(afterwards Sir John Cheeke] an. 1539, 40, though it is 5
very tme there is later mention of the office'.
This wa» the nature of his office ; as to the reason of
the name, 1 am yet to seek, though I am apt to think it
was derived a ghmerando*, from his congregating or
gathering his scholars together, either for exercise, disci- lo
pline, or jurisdiction : for he had his bedel to this purpose.
We meet with Glomer Lane upon the books' in St Maiy's
parish, near King's college, where there was anciently an
hostel for students in grammar, and probably the place of
their assembly might be thereabouts : bat whether the 15
master gave the name to the lane, or the lane to the master,
I will not pretend to determine. These grammarians at
King's being afterwards removed to God's house, and
that house being suppressed upon the founding of Christ's
college, we meet wiUi few degrees in grammar afler that 20
foimdation.
I shall enlarge no further upon the services done the
university by this worthy prelate, which were so consider-
able as justly to entitle him to annual exequies, which
were solemnly decreed him by the university* upon the 25
15th of June, being the day of his decease, as well as upon
the vigil, the evening before : hut the hospital seems not
to have been so well satisfied, for he has no place among
their benefactors. And therefore to repair their losses, or
make good their wants, after his death they apply unto the 3°
king then Kdward the First, who gave them' a grant of the
forfeitures of victuals of forestallers and regraters towards
the maintenance of poor scholars and other infirm people
there : the like grant having been formerly made to St
John's hospital at Oxford, of the king's own foundation, 35

BT JOHN B HOUSE OB
and this grant (aa far as it concerna Cambridge) was con-
firmed by the three following kings.
The Bucc^ding bishops did not concern themselves much
in the affairs of the house, till John Hothnm, vho was
5 an active prelate and concerned himself in everything that
fell within the compass of bis jarisdiction. Hugh Balsham
bad given them a rule, but the manneT of electing and
confirming their prior had not yet been sufficiently ad-
justed: for though they had the power of electing pretty
10 early, by the bull of Innocent the Fourth, yet the bishops
of Ely seem tp have interposed, perhaps not without the
consent of the brethren, who to shake off their former
patrons were willing to give more than was his share to
the bishop of the diocese. This bishop adjusted that mat->
15 ter by his statute or ordinance bearing date' an. 1332,
whereby he leaves to the brethren the choice of a fit person,
being one of their own body, or in default of such, one
oat of the hospital of St John's at Ely, the confirma-
tion always to be in him and his successors. This mnst
ao have been agreeable enough, for there was an entire union
and agreement betwixt these two hospitals, which shewed
itself in a very solemn compact, wherein by indenture*
under the common seal of both houses they oblige them-
selves and their successors for ever, and as far as in them
25 lay, confirm this engagement with a corporal oath, that
whenever any brother of either house should depart out of
this life, every brother of the other house, then surviving, ,
if a priest, should celebrate three massea, and every other
member should repeat thir^ patemostera, for the soul of
30 the party deceased, within twenty days after his decease.
These amtcabilea concordia, for maintaining friendship and
good nnderatanding betwixt houses of the same order or
foundation, are not unusual amongst the religious, but I
believe there are few instances of a concord entered into
35 and covenanted in so solemn and lasting a manner aa this
was: and therefore having a common interest, it could
never be improper that they should have a common head.

Simon Montacute was jet deeper in their affairs, by
perfecting the designs of Hugh Balsham both at Feter-
houae and St John's; I have already intimated, that
the regular brethren had tlie worse in the exchange, and
had no eqoal compenBatton allowed for the loss of St 3
Peter's church near Trumpington gate, which was given
from them to the college. This they afterward complained
of, and great variance arising thereupon to the continual
disquiet and equal prejudice of both those societies, both
parties were at last prevailed with to submit themselves to 10
the award and arbitrement of this prelate their common
patron.
The original sabmiasion' of Roger de la Goter master,
and fourteen fellows of St Peter's college who axe all
there named, is yet extant amongst onr archives under i^
the common seal of that college, together with an ancient
copy of the submission of Alexander de Iznynge master
and five brethren of that house of the same date: and
both of them oblige themselves to abide by his determi-
nation under the penalty of suspension, excommunication, 20
and of fulminating an interdict, as is there said. Being
thos armed as well by his own anthortty aa with consent
of parties, he proceeded to a hearing (the whole process
whereof is entered upon that bishop's register') and after
very mature deliberation and weighing the reasons and 35
arguments of both sides he at last awarded and decreed*,
that the church should continue in tlie possession of the
college, but with e^ttaile consideration and as a compen-
aation to the brethren he ordered, that the college should
pay them annually for ever 2O9. at two equal payments, at 30
the two terms or feasts of the purification of the blessed
Tirgin and St John the Baptist ; and that if this pay-
ment should be a retro by the space of twenty days, they
should nomine pcentB pay 20a. more, and in case of ^lure
(irithout some just impediment) after other twenty days 33
they were ipao facto to incur the sentence of excommuni-
cation, and the bishop of Kly is to pronounce and retain
them bound under that sentence, till they have efiectually

paid obedience to this decree, wliicti }Kith parties submit
to and again ratify by their consent, under the like
penalty of excommunication ; and the brethren relax and
quit their claim under the same penalty, that the college
S is bound to make their payment. This I have the rather
mentioned, because this payment is yet continued, (though
it will never be exacted under such direful penalties) not
for the site of their college, as has been imagined, but for.
the site and endowments of their church.
10 I shall only observe further, that this Roger de la
Goter de S*". Botulpho is the first master of Peterhouae
that has yet appeared : I shall add one more ancient to that
catalogue, Kobert de Jlildenhall' sacrsB paginse professor,
who as master of Peterhouse is constituted a penitentiary
J5 by this bishop an. 1342 ; and to a master to add a founder,
to the eternal honour of this bishop he presented Edmund
de Gunvile* to the church of Tyiyngton in the diocese of
Norwich an. 1342 ; to which church he again presented'
October 15 an. 1351, being then void by the death of
>o Edmund Ganvile, the worthy founder of Gunvile hall.
He likewise gave a complete boi^y of statutes to St
Peter's college ; and whereas before the disposal of fellow.-
ships there waa solely in the bishops of Ely as founders,
by these statutes he left them free and full power of eleot-
35 ing fellows : for which particular favour, ad well as iot
privileges granted by him to the university, he was com-r
memoraled in the ancient formulary' of commemorating
and praying for onr benefactors.
One other thing, because it is remarkable, and so I
30 shall take leave of this excellent bishop. The King's
hall at Cambridge was founded about this time by king
Edward the Third', an. reg. ll"". Octob. 7, which being
a royal foundation and likewise authorised by bulls of
the pope, one wouJd have thought nothing more should
35 have been necessary ; and yet such then was tlie episcopal
authority, that it waa not thought safely or regularly
founded, till they had the confirmation of the bishop of the

diocese, which vaa granted by this bishop' an. 1343;
and therefore Dr Caius must be widely mistaken, who
places this foundation an. 1376. Bat this shews that the
bishop's licence oi confirmation was always requisite, and
therefore Nigellos most neede have done thas much to- 5
wards the foundation of St John's house, which, having
been a poor thing in its beginnings, might be the best
ground (for aught I know) to entitle him to the foundation.
The affurs of the house being now pretty well settled,
there waa less occasion for the bishops of Ely to interpose; lo
accordingly the registers of £ly are more silent in their
affairs. In Lisle'e time, the succeeding bishop, there was a
plague at Cambridge aji. 1349, so very mortal and raging,
especially in St John's in Miln street, and All Saints'
parishes, that the parishioners being swept away in heaps, 15
the oblations' of the people were not sufficient to maintain
and supply the vicars there with necessaries of life, as
is there complained of. This mortality in the parish, it
seems, reached the house, for in this year, within the
compass of three months, I meet with three masters or ao
priors buried out of the hoose*, Alex, de Ixnynge, Hob.
Sprouston, and Koger de Broom, and in the choice of the
nest prior Will. Beer, who continued not a year, there
were only two brothers left to make the election ; tbongh
to speak the truth, they were not very numerous when ag
they bad their complement, nor have I ever observed
above five or six brethren at the most when they were
a full chapter. Not but their revenues were sufficient for
a greater number, but a good part of these waa to be
allotted for the maintenance of sick and infirm people, who 30
were brought hither, and whom by their rule and order
they were obliged to maintain.
There having been frequent vacancies about this time,
there.are several presentations of masters upon the books,
from whence will appear the qualifications requisite in & 35
master, which I shall put down, and the rather because the
college statutes, especially the first, had some regard to the
customs of the old house, where they were found to be good.

The master then was to he' vir providus et honesltu,

commendandus, in mtale legitima et ordine sacerdotali con-
attiutw — ^which are much the same that are required in
5 a master by the present Btatates, as any one may see
that will tate the pains to compare them.
This nnfortanate prelate, though he might do nothing
for the hospital, yet was a benefactor to St Peter's
college, and therefore Mr Wharton' is mistaken, who
'o corrects bishop Godwin for saying that he was. He was
a benefactor, and a very considerable one, to which pur-
pose the ancient formulary before cited is an undeniable
evidence, where he stands commemorated next after Hugh
Balsham, and before Simon Montacnte, thongh he was
>5 after the latter in order of time.
In the year 1352, on the Saturday after the feast of All
Saints, he dedicated the church extra Tnimpington gates
to the honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary ; from which
period of time, I suppose, St Peter's church, as well as
so the college, did assume the new name and title of St
Mary (which has continned to the church, though not to
the college). For in the same register', in March an, 1352,
they are styled St Peter's church and St Peter's house,
where the bishop grants licence to his scholars at St Peter's
'S house, that they might x^lebrate divine service upon a
portable altar in the chancel of St Pef«r's church (which
shews it was then their place of worship), but an. 1353 we
meet with St Mary's house extra Trumpington gates, and
an. 135d with the hall Beatee Mariie de gratia.
30 To conclnde his good works, he granted licence or con-
firmation of the foundation of three colleges in Cambridge,
Pembroke, Gnnvile hall, and Benet college. The first he
confirmed Norembr, 23* an, 1349 ; the second Janaary 1
an. 1351, ander the title of the hall of the Annunciation
35 of the Blessed Viigin, at the desire of William bishop of
Norwich. And he granted his licence or faculty' to found

or this register' ia mistaken. The register cannot easily
mistake, having fixed both the year of our Lord, as well
ae the year of the consecration. 5
The house was yet growing and its revenues increased
in this long reign and under the succeeding bishops, for
they had two mortmains granted by king Edward the
Third in the 21 st and 36th years of his reign, and began
to spread into the neighbouring counties by the bounty lo
and charity of good men, having lands granted them in
Clavering and Langley in Essex. They held a friendly
correspondence and very good understanding with their
new neighbours at King's hall, and being resolved to
redeem their credit for the ill treatment of their brethren at 15^
Peterhouse, they treated their neighbours here with much
greater humanity. Many good offices passed between
them; they gave leave to the students of that hall to
pull down an old wall and to build upon their ground,
and for tlie conveniency of that hall they parted with aof
some ground apon very small and anequal considerations.
This hall confined upon St John's from the street to
the river, being situated on the north aide of the present
college of the Holy Trinity. It was then much the
greatest foundation in Cambridge, consisting of a warden* 95
and thirty-two clerks or students, for so many they were at
the foundation', and they were so many at the dissolution,
as appears by a survey taken of the state of that college*
by Matthew Parker then vice-chancellor, John Eedman
afterwards master of Trinity college, and William Mey 30.
master of Queens', commissionated by the king the same
year it was dissolved. These thirty-two were all fellows;
it does sot appear they had any scholars, but being a
society of grave and learned men, they were usually taken
from other colleges. And in an old draught of bishop 35:

tiiMn Ilia election obliges himself not to accept of & fellow-
ship in any other college, onleBS he should happen to be
elected to King's hall.
Bnt these large endowments, as generally supposed
S (thongh the original foondation was not very opulent), had
no happy consequences in their beginnings; for in the very
next reign complaints being made, the king, then Eichard
the Second, as lieieditary patron, in the seventh year of
his reign issued oat hie commission to Thomas Arundell'
lo bishop of Ely to visit the college. The commission seta
forth that the king had been informed of many defects, aa
well in the buildings as government of the college, by
neglect of the present warden, that the number of students
bad been diminished and their rights infringed by the
15 warden, and several lands, rents and possessions granted
them by king Edward the Third had been wasted and
destroyed, their charters, books, jewels and other monu-
ments, goods and chattels had been alienated and sold by
the warden and his ministers or servants, whereby divers
io debates, dissensions and discords did arise betwixt the
toaster and students, so that the students led a desolate
life, and coald by no means attend to learning and study,
to the danger of the subversion and final destruction of the
college', as well as of the scholars and students there.
35 There is no further account of this visitation or commis-
sion : no doubt it was executed, but proceeding herein by -
the king's authority (for the bishop was limited by his
commission to do nothing by his ordinary power) it might
not be thought so proper to be entered upon his register.
30 One other service was done this hall by the bishops of Ely,
by appropriating to the college' Bt Mary's church, then
in the patronage of the king their founder, an. 1343.
John Fordham was translated from Durham to Ely in
the twelfth year of Richard the Second', and had the
35 temporalities of that see restored him Septembr. 27 by
the king at Barnwell, where the king had taken up his
lodgings during the parliament at Cambridge: a parliament

which tbe printed books have placed at Canterbury, herein
sufficiently confuted by MSS. collections, particularly by a
very ancient one at St John's college, which concluding
in this reign with the parliament at Cambridge, may be
auppoeed to have been taken about this time. This par- 5
liament was held at the house of tbe Carmelites, situated
on the ground betwixt tbe present King's and Queens'
colleges, next the river'; the convocation by the summons
was to be at St Mary's church or elsewhere ; the place of
entertainment was at King's hall, which proved an advan- 10
tage to that hall by improving their buildings, as it did to
the university and town by cleansing their streets, by the
king's particular order to the chancellor of Cambridge to
that purpose.
This John Fordham did some little things for the 15
house ; being no lasting services, they need not be men-
tioned; but under him the hospital revenues were still
improving, and it was about this time they received
another mortmain from king Bichard the Second in the
sixteenth year of his leign. This was for a chantry at St ao
Botolph's church, founded by John Morice (who in the
catalogue* of benefactors is styled Sir John Morice knight),
and was to be discharged by a brother of the house, for
the which, that is, for |«aying and celebrating daily at
St Botolph's church for the soul of Sir John Morice and as
some of his relations, they had lands granted them in
Cambridge, Coton and Chesterton. This chantry (with
the other at St Sepulchre's] was kept up after the disso-
lution under the new foundation, and one of these chantries
was nsnally in the hands of the college sacrist. These 30
chantries were little things, and not subsisting separately
by themselves, were usually annexed to some church or
religions house, who maintained a priest to pray for the
souls of the particular founder, his family, or relations:
and so these two already mentioned were annexed to and 35
planted opon the hospital, though the duties were to be

discharged at the two several cburchea, having been the
parochial churches of the two particular benefactors, and
probably the place where they were interred.
To Feterhonae this bishop was a more considerabla
5 beaefactOT by appropriating to the college the church of
Hititon' Mar. 20 an. 1395, which had been granted
them before by Simon Langham ; but he being removed to
Canterbury before the church became vacant, upon the
death of the incumbent John Bamet, his succeasor at Ely,
10 nulled his graut, and a new incumbent was invested in
that living. But the scholars there setting forth anew their
great wants to this bishop, and that though their college
had been founded by Hugh Balsham, yet it was not yet
sufficiently endowed, nor tlieir buildings finished, nor suf-
15 ficientlj furnished with other necessary offices, and that
the revenues were so very lean and small as not to be
sufficient to maintain and support a master and fourteen
fellows according to the ordinances of his predecessors : he
having compassion of their case* and a tender regard to
20 their notorious indigence, as likewise with regard to their
celebrated virtues, as well as continued and unwearied
exercise in discipline and study, and as an inexpugnable
bulwark against the perverse and sacrilegious doctrines
then prevailing, did effectually invest them with this
95 church (whereof they had been patrons before), which by
his grant they have ever since enjoyed, and for that reason
I have here pat down the uses.^
Whatever other offices they wanted, it seems their
celebrated virtues had pat them upon building a chapel';
30 for an. 1388 Octobr. 12 the bishop grants licence to the
master and fellows o£ St Peter's house to hear divine ser-
vice and exercise other divine offices in their chapel
within the same house, which I suppose were performed
before in St Mary's church.
35 And because two of the masters of this house under
this bishop seem to be forgot, and one of them oaght never
to be forgot, I will put them down in this place. The

natio? of John de Newton) being nomioated and preaented
by the college with Stephen Shyppewyth, the bishop
elected and admitted William Cavendish April 11 an. 1397'.
And he holding that preferment a very short time, the &
bishop elected and admitted John Botkelsham August 27
the same year, being nominated and presented by the col-
lege together with "William Irby, npon the resignation or
session of William Cavendish. This is that John de Bot-

way for Thomas de Castro Bemardi rector of Cotenham,
who was presented by the college (and afterward admitted)
with William Irby June 7th an. 1400', npon John da
Botlisham's being elected and confirmed in the see of
Rochester. And. this is that John d« Botkisham, who in 15

Having been so large upon a particular college, I shall
say the less of the affairs of the university. I have already
said the exemption of the chancellor from the con6rmation
of the bishop and the oath of canonical obedience there- 35
upon was now obtained. From the conduct of that affair
it is obvious to observe, how dangerous a thing it is to
make any compliments where privilege is concerned ; one
would almost suspect the university had laid a train for
this bishop. It had been usual to choose their chancellor 30.
out of the heads or some noted members of any society,
a&d it suited very well with such persons to pay all defer-
ence and submission to the bishop of Ely'. In the year
1396 they chose one Eudo la Zouch, a man of great pre-
ferments and greater quality, and so a compliment being 35:
made at Ely, the bishop was willing with regard to his
state and degree and noble birth to excuse his oath of obe-^

dience and confirms him without it, onl^ with BQme Balro
to his right. Two years after thej chose the same great
man again, and then that which before was only compli-
ment was almost necessary and could not decently be
g refnsed, and so he was confirmed again without exacting
an oath. But this compliment cost the bishop dear, this
£udo la Zonch being the last chancellor (excepting one)
that sought any confirmation from that see. For now the
university having a favourable conjuncture under an impe-
io rions pope and a yielding bishop, apply to Borne, expect-
ing to meet with little opposition, and obtain a bull' from
Boniface the Ninth in the twelfth year of his pontificate,
whereby, only to prevent the trouble and expense of a
joomey to Ely, he ordains that the chancellor's election
15 should be his confirmation, and so another man of quality
being chosen chancellor, the better to grace and back the de-
sign, here was an end of that branch of the bishop's power.
I know the pope in that bull pretends that all this was
done without solicitation and ex mero motu/ but we know
io the meaning of that form both in regal and papal grants.
The bishop under a succeeding pope prefers* a very-
humble and submissive petition against the exemptiomf
granted by Boniface the Ninth (for there had been likewise
an exemption granted to Miohaelhouse, with privileges to
95 St John's, etc.). But it was then too late; rights that are
once lost are not easily recovered, and one pope nsoally
confirms what has been done by another.
■ The same year with this ball, September after*, an,
1401, archbishop Arundell visited the university and this
30 house. This visitation has been placed before the bull,
probably lest it should be thought to hurt our privileges :
but there could be no danger of that, for the great and fnlt
exemption from ordinary jurisdiction was not granted till
some years after, by the Processus Bamwellensis, and this
35 esemption concerned only the confirmation of the chan-
cellor. Together with the body, the archbishop visited

Dr Fuller' starts a wonder why Gonvil hall was not
then viaited ; it was visited under the title of the college
of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin (mistaken hy
him for Benet college), the style or title given it by bishop
Bateman at its second foundation, being its nsaal style upon 5
the registers of £ly, nor is it ever styled Grouvile hall upon
that register till an. 1397*, when the true foander began
to recover his right to the name. And as to Benet col-
lege, it might be excused either in compliment to the chan-
cellor who was head of that hoose, or with regard to the (o
house of Lancaster of which family the king then was.
To the Dr's other wonder at King's hall, we have seen
before it was of royal visitation.
What was done at St John's hospital does not appear,
further than that it was visited by commission (for the '5
archbishop visited only the body in person) on the 19th
day of September in the church of that hospital ; for so it
is there styled, whereas the several colleges were visited in
their respective chapels. This seems to shew it had some
parochial rights ; and so undoubtedly it had, by the grants ao
of Innocent the Fourth and the confirmation of bishops,
upon a compensation given by the brethren to the nuns
of St Radegund.
The site of this church or chapel has been hitherto
doubtful, and therefore it may be worth the while to trace *5
out its situation. A certain person* who has taken some
pains in this inquiry seems to place it about the old build-
ings betwixt the college and the stone hostel in St Se-
pulchre's parish. This is a wide mistake, for it is very
certain it was situated iu All Saints' parish, from the con- 30
troversy about parochial rights betwixt the brethren and
the nuns, nothing of which was ever heard of irom St
Sepulchre's parish or from their patrons the canons of
Barnwell. There is one sure way of fixing its situation,
by comparing the college books with Or Caius*. The 35
Dr says (with reproach to the college), it was situated
where the college stables then stood: it appears from

several passages in the books' ttiat the college or master's
stables in Di- Cains's time were situated at the west
end of the old buildings, behind the present chapel, near
bishop Fisher's chapel: so that these old buildings hare
5 been the old chapel, the marks whereof yet shew them-
selves, both by the remaining cloister, usually adjoining to
the church or chapel of religious houses, as well as by the
figure or shape of the building, as likewise by the shape of
the doors, the traces whereof are yet remaining, one of
lo which, wide and round, had opened to the back lane
towards the town, for the conveniency of the townsmen
and for the sake of perquisites to the brethren.
About the year 1586' these old buildings were repaired,
altered and turned into tenements and rented out to
15 scholars, and then the college stables were removed to the
place where they now stand, and other buildings raised
thereabouts, by the name of the new hostel.
I once thought the old chapel had been situated
where the present stables now stand, on the other side of
ao the street, opposite to the old bnildings : and my reason
was this, because the old brethren had a cemetery ot
churchyard thereabouts, aa is evident from an old grant,
where there is mention of a house standing betwixt the
cemeteiy of All Snints' and the cemetery of St John's
35 hospital, BO that they were only parted by a house ; and
the many bones and skulls dug up under the neighbouring
houses sufficiently evince that a cemetery has been there.
But this cemetery might have been for the poor and infirm
that resorted thither, there might have been another ceme-
30 tery for the brethren or benefactors within the precincts
of the house, or they might have been buried in the
chapel : however this be, the situation of the old chapel
can be no longer doubted.
As John Fordham did little for the hospital, so his
35 immediate anccesaor Phihp Morgan did less, nor indeed
can I meet with any service or any notice taken by him
of this hospital. These two bishops had some reason to
be out of humour with the religious, as well as with the

toiTeraity, who seem to hare conspired and joined m thd
same design of procuring exemptions irom episcopal
jurisdiction. For it waa under this bishop that the great
blow was given to the see of Ely by the university, by
tibtaining from Martin* the Fifth an. 1430 his bulls to 5
this purpose, directed to the prior of Bamwell and John
Deping canon of Lincoln : John Deptng being a secular
was not fond of such employment, but the prior of Barn-
well was a man for the purpose, who sat and heard the
proceaB alone, and the bulls of Honorius and Sergius the 16
First being produced (who had no more anthority in
England than they had at Japan) he very learnedly gave
sentence for the university npon two as rank forgeries aa
ever were ; for the whole stress of the controversy turned
upon these bulls. But the present pope was willing to 15
believe there had been such a power exercised in England
by his piedeceasors so many hundred years ago, and the
honest prior was to follow his iuatructions. And so there
was an end of ordinary jurisdiction.
The following bishop being only a commendatory pre- ad
late and governing his diocese by an administrator, as it
gave a fair opportunity to the university of enjoying
peaceably their new exemptions, so It afforded none for
good works; nor. was it to be expected, that he that had
never seen his own monks, should be much concerned for 95
the religions of other orders. But lie presided under a
prince of greater virtues, who ought always thanktully
to be commemorated for the encouragements afforded by
him to piety and learning.
It was under him the house* was yet flourishing; he 30
gave them a further mortmain, and they having exceeded
the bounds limited by the king's licence, he granted them
a pardon for having purchased lands without a mortmain,
and having occasion for a tenement of theirs (then St
Cross' hostel in St John Baptist's pariah) for his new 35
foundation of King's college, he gave them (by a very
^vantageoos exchange) lauds in Over with the fish ponds

near the bouse formerly iKloDging to Merton college,
granted by them to King's college with a parliamentary
confirmation, and by that college granted to the king.
This was tn pursuance of his second* and great de-
5 sign, when he had such occasion for room that he demo-
lished several hostels, as well as the church of St John
Baptist. His first design was for a rector and twelve
fellows, and for that the present old buildings, as they were
intended, so were capacious enongh. But that St John
lo Baptist's church was part of these buildings (as has been
supposed) is surely a mistake : for there is neither any-
meDtion of that church in the first fonndatiou, and it was
certainly standing two years after, an. 1443, when the
king undertook his second design; and two years after
15 that it was yet standing, for an. 1445 May 16 the
prior and convent of Barnwell* presented Nicholas Clooa
D.D, fellow of King's (then master of the king's works
there, and afterwards successively bishop of Carlisle and.
Lichfield) to the perpetual vicarage of St John' in
ao Milne street. And after it was demolishedi it was rebuilt
and endowed in another place near the college' by the
piety of that prince ; but a great part of the parish being
levelled to make room for the new college, by the common
min of so many houses and want of inhabitants* the
3^ parish sunk of itself, and so was united to St Edward's
parish, aa is set forth in the registers of Ely. Both thes»
churches were granted to the king by the convent of
BamweU (for which they had the church of Quy appro-'
priated to them as a compensation), and both of them came
30 from that king to Trinity hall, apoo other reasons than
has been supposed; for that hall never held St John's
church or parish before the foundation of King's college.
So many exchanges were made towards this foundadon',
80 many rights were to be made good, so many houses and
35 hostels were to go down*, at least six or seven, and such

alterations were to be made in the site of the town Ijy
demotisliing ahnost a whole street with the lanes adjacent,
leading from the High street to Miln street and from thence
to the river, that nothing leaa than an act of parliament
conld have been snfficient to effect so great a design by 5
making good and confirming these grants and exchanges.
Great complaints had been made formerly bj the bnr-
gesses and townsmen of Cambridge against the desolation
of houses by the foundation of the four religions houses of
friuv ; but nothing like this had yet been attempted. And 10
therefore, though the design was formed and begun sooner,
yet I believe little was done towards it till this act of
parliament was obtained for confirming and advancing
this royal foundation : and after all, though thia good king
had been nicely exact in satisfying claims and very scru- 15
pulons in answering objections, yet did he not at last think
he had been over good ? were not his last thoughts that he
had done over mncli?
After this brief account of this magnificent foundation,
the affairs of the house will look very small, and yet they "*
were still growing in the latter end of this reign (for I
have now done with the bishops of Ely) as well as in the
following reigns of Edward tlie Fourth and Kichard the
Third, when they received additional endowments at Ash-
well in Hertfordshire and Bradley in Suffolk, under two a$
careful masters, John Dunham and Robert Dunham.
It was under the former of these masters that the
house was admitted to the privileges of the university,
Thomas Hotheram, bishop of Lincoln and keeper of the
privy seal, being then chancellor of the university. This 30.
letter of privilege is entered (by way of appendix) upon
the old cartulary', and deserves to be preserved. It sets
forth, that whereas grievous complaints had been made to
the university, that the master and company of St John's
house together with their servants had been much die- 35
qiueted and disturbed by laicsl or secular power, not having
formerly been repnted or received as members of the nni-

vereitj, the chancellor and body of regents, at the request
of the house, thinking it unreasonable that they who were
under the privileges of religion should be longer sub-
ject to secular diatutbanccs, do therefore receive the master
5 and company into the society, liberties and nnmber of
their members, and make them and their servants partakers
of the privileges of the nniversity.
I have forborne saying much of the learning of the
brethren till I came to this privilege, from wliich we may
ro with modesty enough infer that they were not very learned.
I know they have usually been esteemed learned, but had
they been really so ihey would have been received sooner
into the privileges of that body, and when they are adnlit-
ted it is with regard to the merits of their religion, and not
15 one word said of their learning, which is so usual in diplo-
matic forms, that it conld not have been omitted had there
been any ground for it. I never could meet with any
great instances of their learning further than their breviary,
for so mach being clerks they certainly had, but that they
90 usually advanced farther, I should be glad to be informed.
The religious of other orders hare made a considerable
figure in the afifairs of the nniversity, particularly the four
orders of friars, the Dominicans, Franciscans, Austins and
Carmelites, who had all their houses here at Cambridge;
95 the Gilbertmes or White canons at St Edmund's chapel
near Feterhouse are often mentioned, but the Austin
canons are rarely to be met with beyond the precincts of
their house : notwithstanding their anavoidable intercourse
with other houses, by giving site to so many colleges and
30 other religions foundations ; for the Austin friars, if not
the Carmelites, were their tenants.
All the other orders take degrees', are in employments,
stand tn capite (for by onr ancient constitution a religious
doctor was to be one of the caput), have places assigned
35 them by our ancient formulary or ceremonial', both at proi
cessions and other assemblies of the university; but the-
Auatin canons give little or uo trouble upon these occafflona.

48 8T John's house ob tfospiru.:
It is true, by this letter of privilege they are dispensed -with-
&om attending at processions, and by a bull of Boniface
the Ninth they are exempted from contributing to some
ordinary charges of the university; but why they should
not appear upon other occasions is very unaccountable, bad 5
they been men of learning.
This mistake may have taken its rise from Hugh Bal-
gham's scholars having been planted upon them, but their
ill agreement with scholars la no good argument of their
learning : had they continued together it might liave given la
them that reputation. The soil was not yet ripe for such
purposes till it was better maturated; it will then produce
a larger crap.
To come to the last period of the house under Hetuy
the Seventh; some small immunities were granted by 15:
that prince, and some little accessions wei-e made to it in
the beginning of his reign.
I have not named the tenth part of the particulars as
I have gone along, which being commonly very small
things were too many to be enumerated, and would have aa
made this account unreasonably tedious: but from what
has been said, and much more from what might have been
said, it is very plain the bouse was still growing from the
first date of its foundation to the last period of its ruin,
from Henry Frost to Henry the Seventh. And there- 25
fore in its beginnings it must have been a very small
thing, and could have had no such large original eudow-
ments as have been assigned it.
One hundred and forty pounds per annum was a vast
sum in those days when it is supposed to have been 3^,
founded, and must have made it very considerable. There
were two neighbouring houses of the same order, Barnwell
and Anglesey; the former of these, by a middle computa-
tion', might be valued at £300 per annum at the dissolu-
tion, and what that woald amount to at the foundation 3^
might easily be computed ; the latter (Anglesey) at about
£100 per annum. And yet Barnwell priory was 8om&^.

never maintiuned above five or six ; and both of these pri-
ories, Barnwell and Anglesey, were so considerable as to
send members to convocation*, whereas St John's as it
never attained to, so I date be confident it never dreamt of
5 that honour, or if it did, it was very vain.
The bouse thus far having been under a constant
growth and improvement, its decay and fell must have been
very sudden. I do not meet with any very irregular pro-
ceedings till towards the middle of this reign, when Wil-
loliam Tomlyn was admitted master*, though there must
have been some connivance under the former prior Robert
Dunham in his declining years, which gave occasion to
some new and strict injoncttons from the bishop upon the
admission of this master.
'5 Amongst other things the bishop requires of him* —
quod caste, continenler et honeste vivet; quad nullta mu-
liercttlas auapectas in consortium suum admittet; et quod
Ron ait bonorum dilajndator dicii hdspitii — which with
other injunctions William Tomlyn promises very religi-
3o onsly and under his hand to observe. Bat these promises
were easily forgot, nor was he sooner entered upon hia
charge than he begun to dilapidate the goods of the house,
and to be guilty of those excesses that usually occasion
such dilapidations, which gives further ground to suspect
'5 that he had been guilty of the same looseness when he was
a brother.
The year after he was admitted, he with the brethren
let a long lease* for ninety-nine years of an estate in
Langley in Essex, and their estate at Bradley in Suffolk
30 was mortgaged for a sum of moneys, which being at a
distance would be less observed. The college accounts
set forth that their lands had been sold ; nothing of this
kind could have been done without the consent of the
bishop of Ely, who, whatever he was himself, can hardly
35 be supposed to be consenting to such sacrilegious bargains :
but long leases and mortgages might be looked upon as
sales.

The moveables of the house might be alienated with
the coosent of the brethren, who being then only three in
number, Sir Christopher Wright, Sir John Kenaham, and
Sir "William Chandler, and these probably little men {for
these sirs were prieBta or brethren, either of no degrees, or 5
such as had not yet commenced masters) these men of no
degrees, and no deserts, would easily conseat to mean
designs, and so their plate and other moveablea (amongst
which I have found little mention made of books) were
alienated or pawned for sums of money. 10
As their excesses increased, bo did their wants ; these
put them upon engaging deeper, till their estate at last
was so involved, that the master of the house was forced
to hide hig head and the brethren were dispersed ; and so
hospitality being neglected, divine offices intermitted, and 15
the house in a manner abandoned, this gave a fair ground
and pretence for a dissolution ; which as it was begun
under this prince, so it was not finished till the following
reign ; the manner whereof shall be the subject of another
I shall only observe upon this occasion, that without
this opportunity offered hy dissolute men, and permitted
by providence to be used, there could have been no such
thing as a college here. For there were not wanting men
of note of the other oniversity, then in the foundress' 23
court and of her family, persuading and inciting her to the
same charitable offices at Oxford as she had shewn at
Cambridge'; that having already founded a college here,
there wanted only the like foundation to be placed at
Oxford to immortalize her name in both universities, and 30
pointed out to her St Frideswide's priory as an easy
way and large field for such a foundation. This argument
was not to be answered but by pointing out the like or
equal advantages, which the bishop of Hochester, who was
het deserved confessor and could influence her devotion 35
more than any one, suggested to her, and inculcated so
effectually as at last to determine her charity and devotion
to this place.
This, as it gave the finishing stroke to the ruin of the

liouse, so was the first step towards the foundation of tlie
college, to the great honour and advantage of this uoi-
Tersit^, and with no prejadice or injury to our neighhours.
St Frideswide was reserved for the like or greater pnr-
5 posee, which soon after were undertaken by cardinal
Wolsey upon the rains of that priory ; and the foundress
of St John's by her conduct or example may be said to
hare founded, at least to have occasioned the foundation
of, both colleges.

ST JOHN'S COLLEGE,
Founded ax. 1511, Apbil 9th.
BOBBBT SHOBTON FIRST MASTER.
The foundress of the college is 80 well known, that
were it not in compliance with custom upon such occasionB,
I need say nothing of so great a name : she waa daughter
of John Beaufort dnke of Someraet, grandson of John of
5 Gaunt, and so descended from Edward the Third ; consort
of Kdmand Tudor earl of Eichmond, son of Catharine of
France, and so allied to the crown of France ; and mother
of Heniy the Seventh king of England, from whom all
onr kings of England, as from his elder daughter Margaret,
10 who t>ore her name, all the kings of Scotland are ever
since descended. And though she herself was never a
queen, yet her son, if he had any lineal title to the crown,
as he derived it from her, so at her death she had thirty'
kings and queens allied to her within the fourth degree
15 either of blood or affinity, and since her death she has
been allied in her posterity to thirty more.
But titles, as they were things she did not ralue, so
I shall make them no part of her character; I shall confine
myself to her private virtues and public charities, which
20 were the only crowns she afTected to wear.
Her first design was of a perpetual public lectnre in
divinity ; this she instituted* in the 18th year of her son's
reign on the feast of the nativity of the Blessed Virgin,
and by the ori^n&l fouudation appointed John Fisher

56 ST JOHN'S COLLEOR.
S.T.P. her first reader, who was sacceeded therein by
Dr Coaio mftstei of Benet*, as he was by William
BnrgoigQ afterwards mastei of Peterhoose, and he by
Erasmus about the year 1512. She likewise gave roles
and statutes for the choice of her reader and for the 5
discharge and performance of the duties of his place, and
endowed her lecture with twenty marks pet annum
payable by the abbot and convent of Westminster, which
house she had endowed with revenues to the value of
£87 per annum. 10
The same day and year* she instituted the like reader
at Oxford with allowance of the same salary and almost
under the same rules with that of Cambridge, and nomi-
nated and appointed one John Itoper S.T.F. to be her first
reader there. 15
In the 20th year of the same reign', October 30th, she
founded a perpetual public preacher at Cambridge, with
stipend of £10 per annum payable by the abbot and
convent of Westminster, whose duty was to preach at least
six sermons every year at several churches (specified in the 20
foundation) in the dioceses of London, Ely and Lincoln ;
and one John Fawn S.T.B. is appointed her first preacher
by the original foundation.
This is that John Fawn, who has been styled presi-
dent' of the university, a title that has been wondered at, 25
but not explained. The meaning I suppose was this,
John Fawn was vice-chancellor an. 1514' (for Fuller
and the tables he follows are mistaken); the same year
bishop Fieher resigned Uie chancellorship, and at the
bishop's desire and with his advice Wolsey bishop of 30
Lincoln was chosen chancellor : during the vacancy and
till Wolsey should accept. Fawn did rather preside, than
properly could be styled vice-chancellor of the university,
and therefore in their letters' to Wolsey, as a greater com-
pliment to that great man, Fawn stytea himself only presi- 35
dent of the university, till the chancellor elect should give
t Regrum acad. electione cuicellwii, etc. de pncsi-

him leave to be his deputy. Bnt these complimeDte were
lost, for Wolsej, notwithBtanding the great and almost
mean application that was made to him, refused to accept,
by a letter, which tmder some show of humility sufficiently
S discovers a secret latent pride, though he had not yet
arrived near the height of his greatness : and so the uni-
versity the same year, with indignation as well as grati-
tude, chose bishop Fisher' their perpetual chancellor, or
for term of his life, and Dr Fawn might resume his title of
lo vice-chancellor, if he continued so long, for he did not
continue out the whole year, having been in office some
part of the last.
This foundation of a public preacher was peculiar to
Cambridge, for though Mr Wood* seems to suspect she
15 had done somewhat of the same kind at Oxford, yet there
could be no ground for that suspicion : for neither in lier
will (where she enumerates all her chanties) does she say
anything of such a preacher, nor in the original founda-
tions, which were all lodged by bishop Fisher amongst
ao the archives of St John's college together with the king's
several licences for the several foundations, is there any
mention of a preacher at Oxford.
It is probable she might have had such intentions, bnt
was prevented by a greater design, undertaken about this
ag time, in the foundation of Christ's college by the advice
and persuasion of bishop Fisher, who after the foundress
by her statutes was appointed visitor for his life. This
foundation has been placed in the year 1505. The statutes
were not given, nor the foundation perfected, till the year
30 following. The original obligation* of John Syclyng (last
master of God's house and first master of Christ's college)
ia yet extant under his hand and seal, for the observing
of the foundress' statutes, by not procuring or causing
td be procured, or not using being procured, any dis-
35 pensation from the apostolic see, or (as much as in him
was) not suffering his fellows to make use of them, bear-
ing date Septembr. 5 an. 22 Hen. 7"^, from which
day and year, I suppose, nnd not sooner, the government

and statutes of that college took place and begun to be
in force.
And becaose the bishops of Ely had jet kept up some
claim or show of power, there was a grant' obtained irom
James bishop of Ely, whereby he gives leave to tlie 5
master, fellows and scholars, to celebrate divine offices, etc.
in their college chapel which had been already consecrated,
and to change the parish feast from St Andrew's day to
the day of the feast of the resurrection of oar Lord : and
by another grant of the same date*, at the instance of the lo
fomidress, be exempts the college from episcopal and ordi-
nary visitation, for himself and successors for ever.
The endowments of this college need not be related,
being all specified in the foundress' will, and though it
appears from thence that she herself was very liberal, 15
having bestowed good lands and manors of her own, yet
the abbey of Creyke which was given her by Henry the
Seventh, and God's house which was the foundation of
Henry the Sixth, did go a good way and pretty deep in
this foundation : and therefore the master and three fellows 20
of the old foundation (for there were no more) John Scot,
Edward Fowke, and Thomas Nunne were continued mem-
bers of the new college; and Henry the Sixth is, I suppose,
yet commemorated as a founder or benefactor in that
society ; as William Bingham, first founder of God's bouse, 35
near the place where King's college old buildings now
stand, either is or ought to be.
Having done thus much for the schools of learning,
she had some reason to think she had done enough, and
therefore her other cnarities were intended at the religious 30
house at Westminster*, where her son had projected a
sumptuous chapel for bis own interment, and where she
herself intended to lie. This according to the humour of
the age was intended for the health and good of her soul,
by having masses and dirges said there for its rest and 35
happiness. But having communicated her design to bishop
Fisher the great director of her charity, he suggested to
her (what indeed had been suggested by him before the

fijundation of Christ's college] that the religious house at
Westminster was already wealthy enough (as it was the
richest in England) and did not want snpport or maiD-
tenance ; that the schools of learning were meanly endow-
5 ed, that the provisions for scholars were veiy few and
small, and that colleges* were yet wanting towards their
maintenance; that by such fbnndations she might have
two ends and designs at once, that she might thereby
double her charity and double her reward, by affording
lo as well supports to learning as encouragements to virtue.
The good lady, who had all reverence for her confessor
and was all obedience to her gtdde, was easily prevailed
with to alter her pnrpose, but being nnder some ties and
engagements to her son in their common designs at West-
15 minster, nothing conld be done without his consent, which
she was nice in asking. The same person that gave the
advice, undertook this nice and invidious employment, and
being armed with the princess' letters, he applied to the
king with so much prudence and dexterity, that be ob-
20 tained his consent for altering her design.
The king's letter is yet extant to that purpose*, and it
is a very tender and affectionate letter, dated Greenwich
July 17th; the year is not mentioned, bat it must have
been towaiids the conclusion of his reign, for he was then
25 declining and his sight so much appayrd, or he so unfit for
snch business, that he protests on his Jatth, he had heen
three days, or he could make an end of his letter; and yet
it is not over long. This as it gave occasion to Christ's
college, so it was the first step towards the foundation of
30 St John's.
I have already said, she had been solicited by some
men of character of the other university to place her re-
maining charities upon Oxford ; who these men were does
not appear, further thui they were of her family or in her
35 service, and therefore, though they be not named, I will
suppose Dr Wilford to have been one, who having been
her last confessor, might be ambitious to do as much for
his own body, as bishop Fisher had done at Cambridge.

This is certfun, they had gone so far with their constant
importunity and unwearied persuaaionB that she had been
determined to that place, had not the same good bishop
who influenced her counaels most intervened, and by more
powerful arguments, and particularly by pointing out the 5
melancholy state of the old house, had tamed her thoughts
back upon Cambridge*.
Surely the brethren of this house must have been under
some fatal blindness or given up by providence to infatua-
tion for their sins, otherwise they conld not have rushed 'o
thns blindly npon their own ruin. Conld they have seen,
they had the fate of a religious house brought home to
their own doors in the nuns of St Badegund, who for
the like crimes that they were now guilty of were sup-
pressed and dissolved, and a college erected upon their fall. '5
This was yet of recent memory and an instance almost
glan'ng before their eyes ; these loose votaries or their
children might be yet living, and conld have told them
what had befallen that house for their dissolute living;
to be guilty of such loosneess after so late a caution was zo
to provoke or defy their own ruin, and was certainly the
utmost height of infatuation.
And yet so it was ; great excesses were charged upon
them, whereof they were too guilty, and though I cannot
doubt but their guilt was aggravated, yet they were cer- 23
tainly very dissolute in their lives and prodigal in their
expenses, not in charity or hospitality which they were
obliged to by their rule and order, but in excess and riot
and in gratifying their own sinful lust^*. When these
expenses conld not be maintained by their ordinary reve- 30
nues and annual income, the moveables of their house were
sold or pawned] nor were their sacred vessels spared, or
indeed longer sacred, but were sold and prostituted with
their other fumiture : and when these would not satisfy
(as nothing is enough for lust and riot], their lands and 35
settled estates were at last alienated or engaged for large
sums of money, as the college accoont* says, for more
than all their lands being sold were really worth, which

for a good reason I caunot beliere, because they had not
then been worth their taking.
So far they had gone and bo deep they were involved,
that they seem to have been at a stand and did not well
5 know how to go fiirther ; but their last stores and funds
being exhausted and their credit sunk, the master and
brethren were dispersed, hospitality and the service of God
(the two great ends of their institution] were equally neg-
lected, and in effect the house was abandoned.
>o This being the condition of the old house, in a manner
dissolved already by its own crimes, the best thing that
could be done for it was to dissolve it by authority, and to
engrafl a college upon the old stock, that might bring
forth better fruit. The first thing to be had towards this
IS was the consent of the bishop of Ely, both as founder and
diocesan; the present bishop was James Stanley, son of the
late earl of Derby, who being son-in-law to the foundress,
and probably promoted by her interest to that see (the
worst thing she ever did), bis consent was easily had,
ao The next thing to be procured was the king's licence,
and this from her own son was as easily obtained: but
before these could be had in due and legal form, the
king dies, and ere much more could be done to purpose,
the foundress (if she may be so styled before the founda-
35 tion) likewise dies, and had she not lodged this trust in
faiths hands, this great and good design must have died
with her.
She died, where she was buried, at Westminster, on
the 29th of June, as noted in the college register and in
30 her epitaph composed by Erasmus, for the which he had
a reward of twenty shillings, as it is entered in a computus
or old book of accounts. Her funeral sermon was preached
by bishop Fisher, containing a large character of that ex-
cellent person with a full narrative of her charities and
35 virtues : that sermon is printed, though it be as scarce as
MSS.; if ever it should be printed again (as it well de-
serves), there is a more perfect copy upon an old register
amongst the archives of the college; for that which is
lodged amongst our MSS. is more faulty than the printed
40 copy, as it must needs be, being only a transcript from the
ogle
62 _ ST JOHS'a COLLEOE,
print To that sermon I sh&U refer for her character and
virtues ; or let her own works praise her in the gates.
One instance of her pietj has heen omitted hy that
worthy prelate; she was admitted into the fraternity of
five several religious hoosea (if not more), Westminster, g
Crowland', Durham*, Winbum, and the Charter hoose at
London; which in the strain of that age, as it entitled
her to the prayers, so it gave her a share in the merits
and good works of all these societies. And for her chastity,
as it was onspotted in her marriage, so some years '°
before her death she took npon her the vow of celibacy
from bishop Fisher's hands, in a form yet extant upon our
registers; the reason, I suppose, that her portraiture is
usually taken and depicted with a veil and in the habit
of a nun. 13
But she is gone, and we are now to turn our eyes and
hopes upon her executors. She did indeed leave a will
and lands in feoffment for the performance thereof, and
these very sufficient, had they been sufficiently secured
against the next heir-at-law, the king her grandson: and 20
though her will (as far as appears) was undoubtedly good
and duly attested, yet that part of it which concerned her
foundation of a new college having been done by way of
codicil, before that could be sealed, the good lady departed
this life, and here was some ground for cavil. 35
This might have been more easily home with, had they
been sure of the old house, but that (as I said) was yet
standing undissolved; so that all that had been done
towards it was to begin anew with less power and under
greater disadvantages. King Henry the Seventh was now 3°
wanting ; the king reigning, as he had not the same ties of
duly and affection, so he was under no obligation to make
good his father's promises; and having an eye upon the
estate, he had no very strong inclination to favour a design
that must swallow up a part of his inheritance. The 35
bishop of Ely, who was easy and complying enough whilst
the foundress was living, she being gone, begun to shew

his natuie, and was full of difficulties and withheld bis
cousent for half a year, for reasons that are not to be
named.
The truth of it is, his first business ought to have been
6 to have visited and reformed the house, and to have pre-
vented those enormities that occasioned its dissolution;
not having done this, bat having rather countenanced their
looseness by his ill example, it is no wonder if he had
some tenderness and feeling of the infirmities of his bre-
to thren, or were unwilling to consent to a thing that so
plainly reproached him with his own great neglect or with
-his worse example.
Great application was to be made both at court and at
Ely, and (because the pope's bulls were thought necessary)
15 at Home likewise, where delays are usual, and where
Julius the Second being then pope, nothing was to be
done without address and management and without all
the other requisites to expedite such an affair. The ex-
penses' of the bulls are put down upon the executor's
20 accounts (signed and allowed by Polydore Vergil), which
are very high for a thing so much in course, and of no
greater consequence than the dissolving of an old ruinous
house, that might have been done without asking his leave,
had it been thought expedient: and yet when the bull
25 came, it was found defective and was to be renewed at a
new expense and with no less trouble ; though this expense
was not lost, for when the decretory bull was sent', it was
a very powerful one (for this pope was a son of thunder) ;
it struck the old house at one blow, did both dissolve and
30 build alone, without consent either of the king or of the
bishop of Ely.
For after he had set forth the desolation of the house
in a manner more dismal and melancholy than it really
was, he dissolves' and extingnisheth the old house, and
35 erects and institutes a new college pro magialro et quin-
qvaffirUa clericU, and annexes and unites to the college so

erected all the lands, etc of the house, dwceaani loci et

he empowers the biehopa of Lincoln and Norwich, or either
of them, to execute his decree and to coerce with censures
all each as should contradict it, invocaio etiam, si <^ua 5
Juerit, brachio seculari; and he grants his new college the
same privileges with any other college, and reaerres a con-
venient pension to two brethren of the hous&; for by his
account there was no master, and only two brethren left.
Whatever other faults this pope or his bull might be tc
gniltj of, it was certainly of great use to the affairs of the
college ; for the king's licence having been granted before
(though the pope takes no notice of it, nor thought it ne-
cessary], the bishop of Ely, who as yet only had given his
cousent by halves, if he opposed or contradicted in any- *5
thing, was subjected to the censures of the bishops of
Lincoln and Norwich by the pope's aathority.
The king's licence' was granted Aug. 7 an. regn. l"".
It likewise sets forth the desolate state and condition of
the house, though not in so dismal a manner, — gives leave '<>
to the executors upon its suppression to convert it into a
college unius magtatri ac sociorum et scholarium ad nume-
rum 50 vel circa, in saientiis UheralibuB, jure civili et
canontco et theohffia sttidentium — to be called St John's
college; to unite, incorporate and annex all the lands of ^5
the old house to the college so erected ; and further grants
leave to the college, when erected, to hold £50 per annum
over and above the lands of the house, the statute of mort-
main notwithstanding.
To do all right to the foundreas, this licence was 30
granted at her request (though now deceased) as well as
of her executors, for there is* an old draft or original of the
king's licence signed Henry, but not sealed, whereto is
pre&xed the petition of his humhle graunt dame, xa a form
there put down : so it seems her petition was either pre- 35
ferred, or left to be preferred aftsr her death ; and the
king's licence under seal refers to her petition.
The king's licence having passed, the bishop of Ely
had some reason to be more complying : there are three

grants of that bishop at three different times, which, had
he been well inclined to the design, might I suppose have
been done in one. And therefore, what might have been
done hy him, I shall so far take leave to do for him as to
5 lay two of them together. His first grant' is dated March
7, 1509 (after the king's licence, and before the papal
bull came), wherebj he first makes conditions for himself
and anccessors, bj reserving to himself a power of naming
three persons daring his life, and to his successors a power
lo of naming one, to be elected fellows of the college', n kahiUs
at idonei aint, a clog that yet remains upon the society : and
then grants that the college when erected shall enjoy the
jewels, goods, etc. belonging to the house, and obliges him-
self that, the papal bull being first had, he wpuld give leave
15 and allow the house, etc. to be incorporated to the college.
This was confirmed by the prior and convent March T2th.
And he empowered Richard Wiot S.T.P. master of Christ's
college, John Fotehede B.D, and William Thomborough
to take a full and perfect inventory of all the jewels, muni-
ao inents and other moveables of the house, and to have them
in safe custody, till the college should be erected.
We see nothing could be done effectually without the
pope's bulls ; when these came, the bishop of Ely passes
another grant' dat. Decembr. ult. an. reg. H. 8". 2*°, (con-
35 firmed by theprior and convent Jan. 5 an. 1510) whereby he
conveys over to the executors all the site and mansion, and
all the hooBes, churches, chapels and edifices belonging to
the bouse, together with all manors, lands, rents, tenements
and other possessions appertaining thereunto, and all his
30 right as founder in the same : which house, being supprea-
aed, dissolved and extinguished by apostolical authority,
by the king's licence and by his consent, devolving to him
as founder, being of the foundation of bim and his prede-
cessors, he grants to them to the end and intention that
35 they might change, found, create and erect it into a college
of secular students, to endure for ever : ordinary jurisdiction
always reserved to him and his successors. And he ap-
points and constitutes Bichard Henrison, clerk, and others

his ptoctors or attorneys, to enter and take seisin and
possession of the hottse, and being seized, to deliver full,
plenary and peaceable possession thereof to the foundress'
executors.
By virtue of this grant on the 20th day of January the 5
same yeai (as it is entered in the college register') full and
peaceable possession of the house, etc. was delivered by
Itichard Heuriaon, the bishop's commissary, do man contra-
dicting, to Henry Hornby S.T,P. one of the executors, in
the name and stead of the rest, in the presence of William lo
Woderove S.T.P. master of Clare hall and deputy vice-
chancellor,WilliamBurgoignS.T.P.,JohnFotehedeS.T.B.
master of Michaelhouse, Oliver Scslis public notary, and
many other students of the university and burgesses of the
town. 15
And ao the old house, after much solicitation and much
delay, after a long and tedious process at Borne, at court
and at Ely, under an imperious pope, a forbidding prince,
and a mercenary prelate, with great application, industry
and pains, and with equal expense, was at last dissolved 20
and utterly extinguished on the 20th day of January an.
1510, and falls a lasting monnment to all future ages and
to all charitable and religious foundations, not to neglect
the rules or abuse the institutions of their founders, lest
they fall under the same fate. ae
Though all this was transacted and carried on in the
name of the executors, yet it ought never to be forgot that
the bishop of Rochester, bishop Fisher, was the sole or
principal agent. The men of quality amongst the executors,
as they had little concern for foundations of learning, bo I 30
scarce meet with any footsteps of their agency herein.
Bishop Fox, who had a great interest in the last reign, be-
gun to decline in this, and besides he began now to have de-
signs of his own, and to torn his thoughts towardsOxford and
his foundation there. The two other executors of the clergy, 35
Dr Hornby and Mr Hugh Ashton, as they had a true zeal
for the design, so they wanted power, and though they were
very usefal instruments, yet what they did was chiefly in
subordination to bishop Fisher. Almost the whole weight

of this affair leaned upon tbia good bishop, whose interest
waa yet good, deservedly esteemed at Rome, valued by the
king and reverenced by all good men.
He was never guilty of assuming more to himself than
S was justly his due, and yet he has left snch an account^
of his agency herein upon the college registers, as who-
ever reads must needs be convinced that ag this design was
first projected and undertaken by his advice, so the execu-
tion of it was wholly owing to his activity and endeavours;
lo and therefore, thongh I have not always named him, yet in
whatever I have said or shall say hereafter I desire he may
be always understood.
The house being thus dissolved, the next thing the
executors were to think of was to set about their new
15 foundation, which having the king's licence, the pope's
bulla and the consent of the bishop of Ely, they were em-
powered to do by a full anthority. Somewhat they were
now sore of, and we have a college now in view, but as yet
a very poor one ; for the revenues of the old house were
so small, according to an aathentic account amounting only to
£80. 1». lOd. per annum, or according to another more
accurate account to £80. U. lOd. ob. And it is pretty
plain from the king's licence of mortmain, he did not in-
tend the foundation should be over large, it being there-
35 by limit«d to £50 per annum, besides the revenues of the
old house.
It is true the foundress had done her part, having left
the issues', profits and revenues of her estate and lands, to
the value of £400 per annum and upward, to that purpose
30 and for the uses of her will ; bat sure the king, when he
granted such a mortmain, did not intend the executors
should enjoy them long. However, being unwilling t»
understand his meaning, or being willing to push things
as far as they would go, or presaging already the fatnre
35 growth of the college, though from unhopeful beginnings,
they went on with good assurance, and having cleared the
debts of the old house according to the direction of the
foondiesa in her will, as well as the rubbish of the old
buildings, which in great part were very ruinous, they pro-

cceded to the foundation both of the fabric and body politic
of tlie College.
The charter' of the foundation was given April the 9th
an. 1511, in the name and by the authority of all the
executors, viz. Kichard bishop of Winchester, John bishop 5
of Gocbester, Charles Somerset lord. Herbert, Thomaa
Lovell, Henry Marney and John St John knights, and
Henry Hornby and Hugh Ashton clerks; whereby (the
desolate state of the old house first premised] is set forth
the grant or consent of the king, the pope and the bishop lo
and convent of Ely, together with the intention of the
foundress for dissolving the house and annexing it to the
college to be erected. By virtue of which grants they being
lawfully seized and possessed of the lands etc. of the house,
did convert the said house with the possessions thereof into 15
a college, and did thereby erect, ordain and establish a
perpetual college uniua magislri, socityrum et acholarivM
ad numerum quinquaginta secularium peraonarutn vel circa,
in scienliia liberalibuB et sacra theologia attuientium et
oraturorum: and ordain that the college so erected should 30
be styled and called St John's college for ever, should be a
body corporate, should have a common seal, might plead
and be impleaded, and purchase or receive lands etc. by
the same name. And they appoint and constitute Robert
Shorton first master, and James Spooner, John West and 25
Thomas Barker, nominated by the bishop of Ely and taken
and elected by them, to be fellows and scholars of the said
college : and that they [the executors] or the surviver of
them might ordain and constitute other scholars to the
number abovesaid, or if that number were not completed ^^
during their lives, the master and fellows or major part of
them might fill up that number ; and they give and ordain
statutes for the government of the college, some part where-
of is there recited. The charter is dated April the 9th
1511, and the seals of all the executors are affixed to the 35
charter on pendent labels.
In all this charter, and it is a very long one, there isno
mention made of the large revenues left by the foundress
for the uses of her will ; but the king's licence of mortmain

is there recited, whereby the college is limited to £50 per
ammin, beaidea the lands and tevenues of the house. The
executors might be censured for having settled a foundation
of fifty fellows and scholars witliout any sure prospect of
5 maintenance for half that number ; but they were certainly
wise, as well as true to the trust and confidence tliat was
reposed in them, in doing their part by pursuing the
foundress' intention, the rest was to be left to providence
and the bounty of the king. Had they gone lower, they
lo might have pleased the king better, but he never would
have been prevailed with to have advanced the number by
augmenting the foundation : but having placed it upon its
true bottom and at its just height, he was bound in honour
to make good his grandmother's foundation, either out of
'5 her revenues which he begun to look upon as his own, or
by compensating that loss or failure some other way.
The fabric of the college was undertaken about the same
time, which was made equal to the design and capacious
enough to receive the number intended, and was another
3o trial upon the king or invitation to him to make it good.
The first payment towards it was made at Christmas in the
second year of Henry the Eighth, (though it could not
well be begun till the spring following, which falls in
with tlie date of the foundation), and the last payment
35 towards it was made in the seventh year of the same
king.
The chapel I suppose was first undertaken, both with
regard to the sacred use and religion of the thing, and he-
cause the rest of the building was to adjoin upon it. Tliat
50 was leaded, the stalls finished and the vestry built in the
fifth year of that reign. For that it was the old chapel is
sorely a great mistake*, nor can there be any reason for it
that I know of, unless some old marbles and brazen monu-
ments which seem to be older than the present chapel.

wonld be removed upon the building of tbe new one. And
whoever cODsiders the state of the old house will hardly
imagine that sach a chapel was intended for a master and
font or five brethren, for they were nsoallj no more. The
expense and charge of the whole building shews that the 5
chapel is to be taken into account, for it amounted in all
(some deductions made for other uses) to betwixt four and
five thousand pounds (a round sum in that age). For so
much was paid by the executors towards the building to
Bobert Shorton' master of ttie college, and so much was lo
paid by him to Oliver Scalis* clerk of the works at several
payments, as appears by their several accounts.
This Robert Shorton was a man of business as well as
learning, and indeed a very extraordinary person and after-
wards deservedly advanced to wealthy prefei-menta. For 15
his mastership here was not considerable, only £20 per
annum', which he earned very dearly. It was nnder bis
care and conduct that the building rose and the college
revenues were advanced and improved, and it is very
strange that a man who bnilt the college should be so 30
much forgot, or placed after another master who was no
way concerned in its affairs tilt the buildings were
finished.
Indeed the Btructure of the house and management of
its revenues was his only province ; and we are not to ag
imagine, as some have dreamt, that there was any settled
society or school of learning under this period, whilst the
building was going up and whilst the noise of axes and
hammers banished more peaceable studies. During this
period* there were only four or five fellows maintained by 30
the college (and no scholars) Spooner, Edmund, West and
Greynwode, for Barker' went off the second year ; and these
as they were lodged abroad and had pensions allowed them
for their chambers, bo they kept up no exercise or disci-
pline in the college, nor were further obliged than to attend 35

the public exercise of the onivereity. Part of the two
latter ye&rs of this mastei another fellow, one KjGn, was
added to the number, and the maater haring occaaion to be
absent, one Bichard Sharpe chaplain to the biahop of
S Bochestei was appointed president, and received aalaiy £5
per annom. In the lattei year one Mr Smith received
stipend as fellow instead of Kj£Bn.
The old brethren were likewise maintained and had
their pensions duly paid them ; but two of them either did
lo not live long, or were otherwise provided for. (In a letter
to the biahop of Bocheater they are said to be removed to
Ely, probably to their old friends at St John's hospital
there). Sir Christopher Wright survived the other two,
and had not only his pension, but likewise the curacy of
15 Homingaey, which he enjoyed several years and main- '
tained a good port upon his curacy.
William Tomlyn the old master seems to have been an
obstinate man, and did not quit his claim till February 27"'
in the fifth year of Henry the Eighth ; when being pinch-
30 ed, or seeing the thing would be done without him, be
was prevailed with to resign, and received ten marks irom
Kobert Shorten master of the college, tn regardo reatgna-
Hania officii aui, as it is entered in the computus. This
was a poor reward, and yet it does not appear he ever
35 received more, whether his heart were broken and he
might not live much longer, or whether his former obsti-
nacy had not deserved a more ample reward, or whether
he might be thought to have sufficiently rewarded him-
self already by pawning and devouring the revenues of his
30 convent, I will not say.
There seems to have been a good understanding be-
twixt this last master and the bishop of Ely; for William
Tomlyn's resignation and the bishop's last grant or con-
firmation are dated the same month and year. The bishop
35 had expressed a tenderness for the maater and the house
by not reflecting upon their dissolute lives, as the pope, the
king and the executors had all done pretty freely: and
when it was to be dissolved, though he bad the fdlleat
right both as founder and diocesan, and ought to have had
40 the greatest interest in that affair, yet he rather ooneents

to the thing as done already, than diBsoWeB it by his own
authority. When hia last grant was made (which was
now done), though it be a very large one' containing three
large sheets of parchment, yet he does little mote than
recite his two former grants together with the charter of S
the foundation, which he there confirms, and in conclusion
reserves to himself and successors ordinary jurisdiction,
and 20«. for every visitation, tarn pro procuratione quam
pro BsculentU et pocuhntia quibuacunque. This was datea
Febr. 1. an. 5". Hen. 8", and was confirmed by the prior lo
and convent of Ely Febr. the 20th, and by William
Tomlyn's resignation Febr. 27th the same year': and so
we have done with this bishop of Ely.
All this while the executors had to do with a greater
man, the king, as heir at law to the fonndress' estate: 15
all due care had been taken to secure their interest therein,
by proving her will both in the prerogative and in the
court of chancery, by advice of the judges, wherein arch-
bishop Warham was very useful and favourable, both as
archbishop and as chancellor of England, who after a long, 33
tedious and expensive hearing, witnesses examined, the
king's counsel heard, judges consulted, (all which was
necessary to guard him against tbe king) at last approved
and allowed the will as good.
Upon this ground the profits of her lands were re- 35
ceived for some years, first by bishop Fisher, and after-
wards by Dr Hornby*; but this was not to continue long,
for what by the clamours of my lady's officers and servants,
who because they could not have all themselves, were
willing to give all to the king, what by the advice of 30
some potent courtiers*, of which number Wolaey is said
to be one, and what by the fresh suit of the king's au-
ditors and counsel, who are usually ready to second the
courtiers in such designs, the executors were so hard
pressed and so straitly handled that they were forced to 35

let go the lands, notwithstanding all the claim they had to
them.
The lands being gone, they were to look ont and sne
for a compensation, otherwise all was at a stand : some-
5 what of that kind was easily obtained, but that at first
granted, as it was small in itself, so it was soon defeated
by nne:ipected accidents and by an untimely death. Some-
what more durable was to be had, and there being an old
decayed Maison Dien or hospital at Oapring in Kent,
10 worth having, this, falling nnder the bishop of Kocheater'a
view, was quickly thought of, and being by devolution
in the king, by the bishop's application at conrt, with the
mediation of the queen, Wolsey and other courtiers, it was
at last obtained.
15 Since this house fell before the general dissolation and
is not much known, it will not be improper to give some
short account of it'. It was founded by king Henry the
Third, and consisted of a master and three regular brethren
professed according to the order of the holy cross, and of
JO two secular clerks, to celebrate for the good estate of the
king theb founder. Upon the death of a master the
brethren were to choose one of their own body, who was
to be presented to the king for his consent, and afterwards
to be instituted by the archbishop. In process of time one
3$ Robert Darrell was chose master, two of the brethren die,
afterwards Robert Darrell the master dies on the 20tb of
May in the 20th year of Edward the Fourth, and the
third brother likewise dying soon after and the two seculars
departing from the house, it became desolate and dissolved
30 on the 6th of June in the twenty-second of that king (and
so continued to the seventh of Henry the Eighth) and the
several kings in succession by their letters patent com-
mitted the custody of it to secular persons.
King Henry the Eighth in the sixth year of his reign,
35 Febr. 16th, committed the custody of it to John Underhill
clerk for term of his life : but in the seventh year of his
teign, Mar. 10th, that king having been prevailed with
to make a grant of it to St John's college for ever, the
same day and year John Underbill resigns all his claim to

the muster, fellowa and Bcholare of that college, recelTing
in hand £40 and a yearly pension of £30 for his life.
This grant was afterwards renewed by the ting in the
eleventh year of his reign, and confirmed by the arch-
bishop, the prior and convent and archdeacon of Canter- 5
bury, for their several parts and interests; and having
broaght with it several good estates in Kent to the value
of £70 per an,, was a good addition to the college, without
which it could not Lave snbaist«d according to the found-
ation, as was deposed upon oath' before the archbishop by lo
Nicholas Metcalfe D.D. and Richard Sharpe B.D., and
their allegation allowed ; and upon this the college mort-
main was enlarged.
This with the lands of the old house, together with
the foundress' estate at Fordbam which was charged 15
with debts by her will and came so chai^d to the
college, with some other little things purchased with her
moneys at Steukley, Bradley, Isleham and Foxton (the
two last alienated or lost) was the original foundation upon
which the college was first opened ; and whoever dreams ao
of vast revenues or larger endowments, will be mightily
mistaken. Her lands put in feoffment for the performance
of her will* lay in the counties of Devon, Somerset and
Northampton, and though I should be very glad to meet
with lauds of the foondation in any of these three connties, 95
yet I despair much of such a discovery. But whoever
now enjoys the manors of Maxey and Torpell in the
county of Northampton, or the manors of Martock, Carrey
Beyvell, Kynsbury and Qneen Camell, with the hundred^
of Bulston, Abdike and Horctbom in the county of 30
Somerset, or the manor of Sandford Peverell with the
hundred of AUerton in the county of Devon, though they
may have a very good title to them, which I will not
question, yet whenever they shall be piously and charitably
disposed, they cannot bestow them more equitably than by 35
leaving them to St John's.

ALAN PERCY SECOND MASTER,
Jul. 29 Asxo 1516.
ThI: college tUna built and thoa endowed, the executors'
next care was to give rules and statute* to their new
foundation, to stock it with fellows and scholars aa far aa
the endowments would reach, and to make it as intended a
5 seat of learning. This rei^uiring attendance and more skill
than most of them were masters of, they delegate their
authority to the bishop of Rochester by a commission'
dated March 20th an. 1515; only if any of their number
happened to be present with him, they were to have equal
lo power.
It was happy for the college that bishop Fisher was
then in England, for he had been ordered by the king
to repair to the general council at Bome (for so it is styled,
though it had nothing general but the name). But though
15 bishop Burned and Mr Wharton*, who differ in other things,
have agreed to send him thither, and the university had
recommended their affairs to him as ready to go by a
letter' dated February 1514, and though he had drawn up
and sealed procuratorial powers to William Fresel prior of
30 Rochester and Richard Chetthm prior of Leeds during his
absence dated March 10th the same year, yet he never
went ; he says himself his journey was stopped, and these
procuratorial powers, together with other letters recom-
mending him to some men of note at Rome, are yet lodged
35 amongst the archives', and shew they were never delivered.
Had he gone, as onr hopes of Ospring must needs have
miscarried, which was procured wholly by his interest and

endeavoois, bo the affairs of ths college might have been
at a stand till hia leturn, for without him notliing was
done. -
In the year 1516 he came to Cambridge to the opening
of the college, which was performed with all due solemnity 5
and suitably to bo great an occasion. I cannot fix the day
when the chapel was consecrated, bat the bishop of Ely's*
licence to that purpose to the bishop of Rochester is dated
July 26, 1516, empowering him to perform that sacred
office and everything thereunto necessary in St John's lo
chapel, as if he himself were there present, which proba-
bly was done a day or two after the date ; for I will not
suppose the college to be opened till that sacred office was
first performed.
This done, the bishop of Rochester (then chancellor of 15
the university) made his solemn entrance, accompanied by
Dr Hornby, who being master of Peterhonse, was present
at Cambridge. After the usual ceremonies* a public notary
and other witnesses being called in, first the king's licence
was produced in the presence of them all, sealed with green ""^
wax, then the charter of the foundation was laid open and
read in part, together with the bull of Julius the Second
sealed after the manner of the court of ^me, and lastly
the bishop of Rochester's procuratorial powers or letters from
the rest of the executors, empowering him, or such other 25
of them as should be present, to act in the name of the
rest.
By virtue of these powers the bishop and Dr Hornby
named, elected, ordained and constituted the venerable
person Mr Alan Percy master or governor of the college 30
(Robert Shorten having before receded) and thirty>one
other persons fellows of the same college, whose names
are there rehearsed, and because they are the first, I shall
put them down, via.

Then the master took an oath for the observation of
the statutes, and twenty-four of the fellows took an oath
10 of obedience to the master and for the observing of the
statutes, and the other seven absent fellows were required
to do the like before the master, whenever they should
enter upon their fellowships. And three of these fellows,
viz. William Paye, Clement Eryngton and Nicholas
15 Daryngton, being principals of hostels in the university,
seniority was reserved to them, notwithstanding the former
oaths. Of all this an act* was made attested by a public
notary, and being engrossed on parchment is yet preserved
(though somewhat torn) amongst the archives.
»o This was the last service done the college by Dr
Hornby, who died the year after, succeeded in his pre-
ferment by William Burgoign S.T.P., who was invested
in that mastership by the bishop of Ely" Febr. 19, 1517,
being then void by the death of Henry Hornby. Dr
"5 Burgoign dying an. 1522, was succeeded therein by John
Edmnnda, probably the same that stands first in the cata-
logue of oar fellows, though he must have been removed
from hence to Jesus, which might easily happen, whilst
the fellowships here were so small and so uncertain. This
30 is that Dr Edmunds whom bishop Burnet* mistakes for
Edmund Bonner. *
Dr Hornby was likewise rector of Over aud Orwell in
the diocese of Ely, which became void the same year by
his death*, and the latter of these having been in the gift
35 and patronage of Michaelhouse, we may probably sup-
jKJse him to have been a member of that house. He waa
chancellor in the foundress' court or fiimily, and seems

to have been much in her confidence, for the fourth tlay
before her decease she appointed bishop Fox and him
snpbnrisors of her will, to alter, add and diminiah such
articles, as in their sadness and good discretions they
thought most convenient and according to her will. 5
When the bishop of Rochester waa to have gone to
Bome, the main business of the college was to have de-
volved upon Dr Hornby, who was very equal to the
business, had bis power and interest been equal to his
conduct. The trust of executor he discharged very faith- ^°
fully, and both by his accounts exactly stated as well as
by several letters' of his it appears that he was very useful
and serviceable to the college ; to the which he was a be-
nefactor by giving f 10 towards the glazing of the chapel
windows and some copes or vestments to the chapel; '5
though having been master of another bouse, it was to be
expected that the course of his charity should run most
another way*.
Nor can Robert Shorton be pardonably omitted, having
been the first master, to whom so much is owing for the 3o
structure of the house, which was so much his employ-
ment that the year after he was master, an. 1512, com-
mencing D.D., he was dispensed with by grace' from
certain duties incident to bis degree for the great and
various trouble he had in the business of his college. And ^S
the year after, 1513*, he is dispensed with from his attend-
ance at masses, exequies and congregations, till he
should have executed the foundress' will in perfecting
her foundation : which being finished in 1515, he has an-
other dispensation* granted him, having occasion to be 3°
absent. The same year his accounts'were finished, which
alone shew the trouble he bad and bow much ia owing to
his care.
The precise time of his resignation 1 cannot fix, but
moat of this year and part of the nest the college was 35
imder the inapection of a president (as I have said before]

and Alan Percy is named as master, sotne eliort time before
he was aolemnlj' inveated.
He was foand so well qualified for snch bosinesB, that
npon quitting his interest here he was (upon bishop Fox's
5 resignation of bis charge at Pembroke) preferred to be
master of that bonse, where how well he acquitted himself,
may be seen at large in bishop Wrenn's account' of those
masters. Whilst he was maister here, he held his fellow-
ship at Pembroke hall (at least some part of the time),
lo which was no new thing; for John Sit^liug, last master
of God's house and first of Ciirist's college*, held that
preferment with a fellowship of Benet. When cardinal
Wolsey was projecting his great design at Oxford, he was
employed by that great man in cultivating and stocking
15 his new foundation, and was so much valued by that car-
dinal as to be appointed dean of his chapel'.
He was archdeacon of Bath* and master of the hospital
at Newport ; and held besides the rectory" of Sedgfield in
the county of Durham, a prebend of Windsor and the
20 deanery of Stoke near Clare in Suffolk, which three pre-
ferments upon hia death became void the same year. He
died* October 17 an. 1535, and was buried at Stoke, to
which church he had been a considerable benefactor, was
promoted tbereonto by queen Katharine whose almoner he
3$ was, and to whose interest he adhered, having been one
of those few in convocation that opposed her divorce, with
Nich. Metcalfe and Nich. Wilson two other dependants of
bishop Fisher, names well known in St John's college.
To Peiiibroke hall he was a considerable benefactor,
30 the particulars may be seen in bishop Wren'. Somewhat
he did for Peterhouse and Catharine hall for dirges to be
observed in these houses. The same year' and month he
died, foreseeing his dissolution, he left 100 marks to St

it shonid fortune tbe said Robert Shorton to depart oat of
this transitory world, or within two days before or after :
that dirge is yet obBerved, but the day' of hie death hav-
ing been forgot, I have put it down, that if it be afterwards 5
neglected, this may not happen for want of knowing the
day. Whilst he was yet master and the house in building,
he gave £10 towards paving the hall*.
The laws of every society are so essential a part of the
body -that they cannot be passed over, and at this time' lo
statutes having been given to this society, this will be a
proper place to take notice of them. In the procoratorial
letters of the other executors to the bbhop of Bochester
they set forth that they had caused a college to be erected
and endowed, but since it were better that colleges should '5
never be erected, than not justly and wisely governed,
therefore they empower him to give statutes for the go-
vernment thereof: which surely implies that statutes were
yet wanting.
I know there is reference made to statutes in the 90
charter of the foundation, from whence an argument has
been drawn for a body of statutes more ancient ; but this
was only for form, for either there were then no statutes,
or if there were any, they must have been given to the
walls, or to Oliver Scalis and the governors of the works, a^
For to what purpose statutes? whilst there was yet no
college, no scholars to be governed by them, and only four
or five fellows, who lodging abroad, could not fall under ■
any regular discipline. Whenever statutes are given (as
they were given here pretty often) yon may trace them by 30
the books. I iind no mention there of any till about the
seventh* of Henry the Eighth, when 13«. 4d. is paid to a
scrivener at Iiondon for writing the statutes in vellnm ; a
fair copy whereof, almost as ancient as the original, after
various turns and many different owners is now in my 35
custody and shall after me return to the college.
These were the statutes that were now given, which
the master and fellows were sworn to observe, wherein

Alan Fercj is named as master (tlie occasion perhaps that
he has been thought the first), Nicholas West is named as
bishop of Ely, which he was not till Oct. 7 an. 1515, and
Wolaej is named aa cardinal and chancellor of England,
5 which latter dignity he did not attain to till towards the
beginning of the year 1516'. So that though. the date be
lost, yet it may be fixed pret^ near from the body of the
statutes, and probably was the same with the opening of
the college, for they could l»e of no use sooner : the private
lo foundations might be added afterwards, both in the body
and at the end of the statutes.
These statutes having been vacated by bishop Fisher,
I shall say the less of them, and I need say the les^
because they are in substance the same with those at
15 Christ's and have been taken from thence, as will appear
to any one that shall compare them. These two colleges
having had the same common foundress and common law-
giver (bishop Fisher) were litewbe to agree in their rules
of government, as far as their constitution was the same.
30 By these statutes there were to be twenty-eight fellows of
the foundation {whereof seven seniors), and at least one*
moiety of that number were always to be of the nine
northern counties, according to the intention and direction
of the fonndress. The like rule was to be observed, as to
25 the distribution of counties, in the choice of scholars, bat
the number of those is not determined, which was to be
enlarged or limited according as the revenues and endow-
ments would bear. And as none were named at the great
call or election of fellows, so the first two years very few
30 appear to have been maintained.
It will, no doubt, be thought strange, how so great a
number of fellows and scholars could be maintained out of
BO small a revenue ; but the maintenance, we may imagine,
was suited to the revenue, only lid. per week was allowed
35 in commons to a fellow, and only Id. to a scholar. These
were times when £120 was sufficient to found a fellowship
(for the private foundations' usually run thereabouts), and
when £6 per an. was enough to msintwn a fellow, for who-

ever offered so much in lands towards a fellowship, (by
bishop Fisher's second statutes) soeh a benefactor conld
not he refused,
The customs, institutions and duties of the old house
were to he kept up bj these statutes, as far as they were 5
consistent with the present settlement : the two chantries
at the Round church and St Botolph's were to be served
and discharged by two of the fellows, the benefactors to the
old house, as well as at Ospring, were ordered to be prayed
for, and in pursuance of an ancient custom the bell was to lo
be rung at four in the morning, to awake such scholars
through the university as were willing to leave their beds
to follow their studies. In conclusion the bishop of Ely,
as agreed and formerly practised, was left to enjoy his
power as visitor, but he seems then to have been limited as ig
far as possible, for the first resolution of doubts was to be
in the chancellor or vice-chancellor with the two senior
doctors, as it was at Christ's.
These were some of the rules that Mr Alan Percy was
bound to observe and to require the observance of from his 20
fellows. How he acquitted himself of that trust, I will not
Bay; but the second year of his prefecture (which is some-
what early) I meet with a visitation, upon what grounds,
or for what reasons, I cannot certainly determine. This is
certain, Mr Percy was either too big or too unequal to the 25
business, and being cither pressed and overburdened with
the load of our affairs, or pinched with the narrow circum-
stances of the college, or vexed with the divisions then
arising therein, he was weary of his employment, and on
All Saints' day' an. 1518 resigned it into better and abler 30
hands.
His resignation is yet extant, made to bishop Fisher as
execator to the foundress, with regard to which, by bond'
from the college dated Kov. 21 an. 10 Hen, 8'^, he was to
enjoy the low parlonr in the college belonging to the mas- 35
ter, with the two inner chambers there, together with his
conunons as a fellow during life, at all such times as it

ehoald please him to resort to and abide in the college,
without paying any thing for the eame, and was besides to
receire an annnity or yearly pension of f 10, till such time
as he sboald be otherwise preferred : — which annuity was
S duly paid till Febr. i* an. 12 Hen. 8" ; when he releases
the college of all the room, profit, etc. that he had or ought
to have therein, under bis hand and seal.
It seems he was then preferred, and doubtless his
preferment came very seasonably, bis circumstances before
10 having been too strait and narrow for a man of honour ; for
in a letter' from Nicolas Daryngton, one of the fellows, to
Dr Metcalf the succeeding master, he signifies that he had
coiUented Mr Percy with £5 (his half year'spension], which
he had sent for divers times because of his need.
15 He was rector of St Ann's Aldersgate London, which
cure he resigned, when we may presume him to have had
a prospect of somewhat better. In 1521, Oct. 25', be waa
admitted rector of St Mary Hill, and held that preferment
to bis dying day, almost forty years, for that living was not
20 filled again till an. 1560, when it was presented to, as void
by the death of Mr Alan Percy. To the mastership of St
John's he was not solemnly admitted till July 29, 1516,
bat eeems to hare borne that title and to have acted as mas-
tor a month sooner. For Eicbard Sharpe the president's
25 computus concludes the last day of June, from which day
Mr Percy's computus commences, and in other business I
find him acting as master the same month. Of his prefer-
ments I find no more. His quality is well known, being
sou and brother to two earls of Northumberland.
30 The manor of Bunmows in Fulbom in the counly of
Cambridge came to him in the 20th of Heniy the Eighth
by mean conveyance', as there said ; the house of which
manor yet bears bis name, though he held it a short time,
for he seems to have been an ill husband of his own estate,

found it, the revenues small, and those burdened with
annual charges of £100 above the receipts ; and yet by his
prudent tnanagemeut and happy endeavours, under the
countenance and protection of his excellent patron, it grew
5 np to so full a stature under his prefecture, that to look
upon it aflet he had done with it, it seems to be a new
foundation. The estate at Ospring was not yet legally
assured ; this was his first care, which was at last efiect-
nally secured to the college in the year 1519, after much
JO paiuB and many journeys undertaken by hia patron and
him, much solicitatiou both at court and with the arch-
bishop, and the expense of £200 and upwards pud out of
the foundress' cheat.
And though the structure or building was finished before
15 the opening of the college, yet either it was not complete ia
all its offices and outworks, or a discharge had not been taken
care of till the year after this, an. 1520 ; for then it is that
Oliver Scalis signs a full release to Dr Metcalf as master,
attested by Alan Percy and Bobert Shorten; for so Dr
>o Shotton writes his name, which I mention, not as material
in itself, but because the several different ways of writing
his name has been made a mattet of observation by bishop
Wren* in his accurate account of the masters of Pembroke
hall.
°5 It would be expected after such an account of the
revenue, that Dr Metcalf shonld have been for retrenching
the number of fellows, or at least the scholars who were
not limited by statute : ao far from that, that the very next
year after this account commences* the number of the scho-
30 lars is enlarged from six to twenty-three, and are main-
tained so some years after. But this being a greater
chai^ than with alt his care and frugality could be
tolerably borne, at his instance and suggestion the bishop
of Rochester begun to cast about for some further augmen-
35 tation. No other way could be thought of but by applying
to the king for a fur^er compensation for the college losses
by the grant of some nnnnery or religious house : nothing
could be hoped for immediately from the crown, but the

king, who had Ticen always Bparing of his own revenue to
Buch uses, had never shewn any great aversion to give up
religioos housea.
There waa a house of nans at Higham near Rochester,
whicTi had stood since king Stephen's reign, who was tlieir S
founder, and might hare stood some time longer, had they
preserved their innocence : this with another nunnery at
Sromehall in Berkshire by the cardinal's interest with
the king were begged and obtained'. The king's grant ia
dated Oct. 21 in the fourteenth of hia reign, the bishop of lo
Rochester's confirmation waa not granted till Mar. 28
tm, 1524, and that confintied by the prior aTid chapter and
the archdeacon of Rochester, Dr Metcalf, tlie year after.
The bishop's proceedings herein were very regular, by
R solemn process against the nuns; an act* whereof was 'S
made and is yet preserved, and will justify the bishop in
his proceedings to all the world. It sets forth that the
priory by its original foundation had maintained sixteen
nuns, that their number for several years had been reduced
to three or four by waste of their endowmenta, by resort »6
of loose and lascivious persons to the house, and the incon-
tinence of the nuns, who had been noted for their incon-
tinent lives'; that two of the nuns, Elizabetli Penney and
Godline Laurence, by their own confession had been
debaached and impregnated by Edward Sterope vicar of '5
Higham, that Elizabeth Penney liad borne a child to him,
whereof proof was made by the midwife, nurse and other
persons. The resignation of the three nuns is there recited,
Agnes Swayne, Elizabeth Penney and Godline Lam^nce,
^for the last prioress Anchoreta Ungothorpe was either 3©
dead or gone) in the presence of a public notary, whereby
Jreel^ and not compelled by fear or dread, nor circumvented
hy guile or deceit, but of their own free will, fur certain just
and lawful causes, ikey renounce and resign all their right,
title, interest and possession that they had to the monastery 35

of Higham, into the holy Kande of the reverend ftther tn
Cfod John biahop of Rochester for ever. The king's grant
ia likewise recited, which wa9 made before and withont
these solemnities : but the bishop's sentence does not pass
5 till proof duly made of all these particulars, and till every-
thing besides had been regularly observed; then he proceeds
to sentence and empowers the college to enter and take
possession of the priory of Higham.
The nnns were disposed of to other houses; Agnes
to Swayn to Swafham Bulbeck in the county of Cambridge,
and Elizabeth Penney to St Sepulchre's priory at Canter-
bury, where they were maintained poorly by the college :
but Elizabeth Penney, as she was the greater sinner, so
she received the smaller pension ; Codline Lawrence was
IS provided for another way.
Whether the like regular steps were made and the
same order taken with the nuns at Bromehall by the bishop
of Sarum, or whether it was thought necessary, I cannot
say; for the prioress there Jane Rawlins' resigned volun-
70 tarily and had a pension assigned her, and the other two
sisters' abandoned the house, which, being of royal patron-
age, is said (in an inquisition taken) to have escheated
to the crown.
The king's zeal and the cardinal's Is very remarkable
3$ in the whole proceeding, their letters are yet preserved
apon our books', expressing it in so vehement a manner
as if it were their own concern ; the two bishops were too
slow for them, and these letters are designed to quicken them
in their paces ; and lest the ordinary power should not ba
30 sufficient, the cardinal interposes his legatine authority,
and the king descends so low as to send his eapecial and
heartff thanks to the bishop of Santm for his effectual
diligence taken at hi» desire ; and to the bishop of Koches-
ter, he uiiUa and ejieaone desires and nevertheless commands
35 kim with celerity and diligence, all delays utterly set apart,
to proceed in the work.

bad different viewB ftom oar bishop, otherwise their zeal
and diligence can hardly be accounted for : the cardinal's
great design waa now brooding, which ended in the disso-
Intion of a crowd Df hooaes at once, which he waa willing
to make waj for hy a reputable and leading example ; and 5
though the king might not jet have a general disaolation
in view, yet aa this led to the cardinal's design, so the
cardinal's paved the way and led to the king's. And
might not the same views, that quickened them in their
proceedings, retard the biahop in his good design and lo
make him alow in proaecuting what he at firat desired? for
could he have foreseen the conaequences that probably
attended his undertaking, he would never have entered
into these measures. But men and providence have dif-
ferent enda, and God is wise in effecting hia own good 15
purposes by our blindneaa.
Here now is the full state of the foundation ; for though
upon the cardinal'a fall the college addreased' the king for
some further compensation out of the religious houses sup-
pressed by him, and charge the blame of intercepting the 20
foundress' revenues upon that unhappy minister, yet the
king lent a deaf ear to their entreaties ; he had now other
designs, waa out of humour with bishop Fisher, and nothing
could be done. It la well so much waa done and so season-
ably, for the bishop's interest was now in the decline, and ^S
no fevonr waa to he shown afterwarda to a peraon so much
disafiected to the king's proceedinga.
Upon the accession of these two nunneries and bishop
Fisher's new and accession al foundations, the college
statutes, as they seem to have been altered before in some 3°
few particulars, so they received now a considerable en-
lat^ment, and as the former statutes were taken from those
at Christ's, so these enlargements seem to be principally
borrowed from Corpus Christi statutes at Oxford, a copy
whereof interlined and altered (with bishop Fisher'a own 35

dranglits aie very flair) is yet lodged amongst our archives,
and may be of some use in explaining audi expressions
in the statutes as are doubtful or obscure.
These second statutes were dated July 24 an. 1524,
5 wherein provision is made for the souls of the benefactors
at Brotnehall and Higham ; a copy whereof is likewise
preserved in the college treasury, which by the thread ye t
remaining should seem to have had a pendent seal: for
that statutes were wrote and sealed this year or the last
lo appears from the books', where so much is twice placed to
account for a riband for sealing the statutes and for
writing the statutes twice or thrice over in diflerent hands.
Bat these statutes are interlined and noted in the margin
in order to a further correction, which having happened
15 soon after, I shall reserve the further account of them to
that place; only observing here, that by these statutes*
a register being required to be kept of elections and ad-
missions, there is a register (though imperfect) of admissions
of fellows from the year 1523 brokenly continued till the
so year 1545, when Henry the Eighth's statutes took place ;
£rom which time or two years after, an. 1547, there is a
register continued of admissions both of fellows and scholars
of the foundation.
In bishop Fisher's private statutes', given at the same
35 time with these upon his additional foundations, there
being mention of exequies to be had for bim and of his
monument, where his body was to lie, I suppose it was
about this time that bis private chapel was undertaken,
and part of tbe profits of bis estates at Holbecbe, Ridgwell,
30 Ramrick and Weston were for some years allotted to this
purpose, lliis was situated on the north side of the college
chapel near the altar, where the arms of the see of iloch-
ester are yet remaining and had been quartered with tbe
paternal arms of the bishop's family, now erased : in the
35 old books*, an. 32 Hen. 8", there is Sd. placed to account
/or taking down Dr Fiahera arms, whether it was for
erasing these arms or taking them down somewhere else

well have been sptu^d : or had they taken down his arms,
thej might have left him his titles ; the best apolog7 that
can be made for them ia that there is Hd. npon account
the same year for entertatniug the king's eerrant; so we
will suppose it to have been done by intimation from conrt 5
and to help to mend the servant's entertainment; his
deserved monument was likewise removed, some venerable
fragments whereof are yet lodged near his chapel and pre-
serve his memory in their ruins.
Opposite hereto on the south side, though built sooner, lo
Was Dr Thompson's chapel (that I may lay them together),
a short inventory of the furniture whereof ia amongst our
archives; he founded two chaplains to officiate therein,
now two poor preachera in the college. He was {as I
gather from some passages') originally of the county or 15
diocese of Durham and of Pembroke hall, though he does
not, that I remember, occur in the catalogue of their fel-
lows: he was vicechancellor of the university two years
successively and master of Christ's college, which prefer-
ment though he quitted before his death, yet he was a 20
bene^tor to the society' by leaving thera the Brazen
Geoi^ with lands in Malton and Orwell for a perpetual
dirge or obit to be kept for him in that chapel. He must
have been very old, if he lived lo the thirty-second of
Henry the Eighth, when some espenses are placed to ac- 25
count' for his grave and funeral, whether in his own chapel
or under some marble near it I cannot say, but there are
no footsteps of any stone or monument now remaining in
his chapel.
There was a third chapel (with aa many chaplains) for 30
Dr Keyton, which, though now demolished, is mentioned
with its altar upon the books'. It was probably situated
on the same side with Dr Thompson's*, adjoining to that
part of the college chapel where there is a door* or passage,

now indeed walled np and plastered oyer, bat whenever
the plaster is removed, it will mark ont its situation.
Dr Keyton was canon of Salisbury, archdeacon of Lei-
cester, and ahould hare had some relation either to the
5 chnrch or town of Southwell by the affection he expresses
in his foundation to that place. He was an early member
of thia bouse.
The last chapel was Mr Hngh Ashton's, well known
by his monument and bis rebus upon it, a thing then
>o much in fashion, and must be forgiven to the humour of
the age. It has long since lost the face of religion. Many
years after its desecration, in Dr Beal's time', it was re-
stored to sacred use, but the times coming on when little
regard was had to sacred things and less to sacred places,
15 it was again desecrated, and has not since been restored to
such uses, as the other two chapels yet standing have been.
It may, 'tis hoped, one day recover that right, and might
I choose my place of sepulture, I would lay my body there;
that as I owe the few comforts I enjoy to Mr Ashton's
so bounty, so I might not be separated from him in my death :
wherever his body lies, may his ashes rest peaceably 1 and
may I wish him that happiness, which I dare not to pray
for, but which my hopes are he now enjoys ! I daily bless
God for him and thankfully commemorate him, and could
25 I think he now desired of me what his foundation re-
quires, I would follow him with my prayers and pursue
him on roy knees.

the Lady Margaret then countess of Derby having met
with him, she took him into her family, made him comp-
troller of her household', and afterwards one of the execu-
tors of her will ; a trust he very faithfully discharged,
having been very aerviceable in the college business whibt 5
he was at Cambridge'; but being often absent, that trust
and employment devolved principally npon one man.
What was wanting in that more public capa<^ty, he
made up and supplied in his private station, by founding
four fellows (who were his chaplains] and as many Bcholars, lo
together with an annnal dirge to be observed for him on
the day of his interment. He died on the twenty-third of
Novera. an. 1522, and was buried in the cathedral church
of York, where he was archdeacon, on the fourth of
January following, the day fixed for his annual dirge both 15
by deed and by the inscription of his monument. In
queen Mary's reign George Bullock then master with some
of the fellows and scholars did solemnly repair to liis
tomb at York, viewed and took out the following inscrip-
tion, and afterwards entered it upon the books'. '°

monument in the chapel (with thia only alteration, that
the propriety is there given to the county of York, instead
of the diocese), and so long a distance of time intervening
betwixt Ilia death and interment, I should be inclined to
5 think he were interred in the college chapel, were there any
traces of his funeral left upon the books, and did not the
master's, fellows' etc. repairing to his tomb at York in so
solemn a manner rather imply him to be buried there.
The propriety there limited to the county of Lancaster was
lo afterwards enlarged by his executors to the diocese of
Chester, which being then the same with the diocese of
Coventry and Lichfield, in all equitable construction will
reach as far as that diocese then did : and this equity of
construction will hold in some other old foundations.
15 I take no notice of private foundations, further than
they fall in my way, these being common things and in
every one's hands; but about this time private founders
were crowding in, and coming in principally with regard
to bishop Fisher and Dr Metcalf, who were of the same
20 northern county where their credit and interest were de-
servedly great, most of these foundations were from that
quarter. Lands were given by these founders or purchases
were faithfully made with their moneys, the particulars
whereof might be easily recounted.
35 It has been a mistake, as commonly received as it is
ill-grounded, that the foundation was swallowed up and
devoured by private founders ; somewhat of that kind may
have happened in later years, but there was nothing of it
now. For besides that the original foundation was very
30 inconsiderable, as we have seen already, there is an account
entered upon an old register' of the several estates that
were purchased ever since the foundation till after the
period we are now under ; and there is besides an accurate'
account of the value of the lands purchased towards the
35 respective foundations till towards the conclusion of this
prefecture ; whence it will appear, that though these pri-
vate foundations were small enough, yet as they were

well enough suited to the then value of lauds and price
of things, so they bore proportion to the rest of the founda-
tion, and have Leen since equally improved.
To explain this by a particular instance in Sir Marma-
duke Constable's foundation, not the most largely endowed; 5
he founded, one fellowship and four scholarships, for the
which he gave the manor of Millington, then valued at
£8 or £8 10« per an. and £200 besides in moneys, where-
with were bought lands (in common with others) to the
value of £10 per an. The manor of Millington with these 10
other lands of greater value, as now improved in theit
i-ents and fines, with the common advantages from the
college, will maintain a fellow and four of the poorest
scholars well enough at this day.
I have rather instanced in this particular, because Dr 15
Constable dean of Lincoln ha^ heec commemorated as
founder of the four scholarships, which he' was no other-
wise concerned in, than as he was executor to Sir Marma-
duke Constable.
To return to bishop Fisher, whose chapel has led me 20
into this digression; there was now further occasion for
it. For the great services done the university, as well in
these private foundations and in private colleges as in his
more public character as their chancellor, drew ^m them
a very grateful and solemn acknowledgement, by decreeing "5
him annual exequies to be perpetually observed for him by
the university on the day of his death in St John's college,
in the same manner as they were observed for other ^/ownt/-
ert of coUegea and principal benefactors, and as they were
cbaemed at Christ's' college for the lady Margaret their 30
foundress. This decree passed the senate and took place as
a statute of the nniversity January the 30th an. 1528, and
is entered as such in the proctors' book*: and a letter was
directed to him from the university full of acknowledge-
ments of hia many favours, and particularly mention[ing] 35
the two colleges Christ's and St John's, as owing to his
^vice, persuasion and interest with the foundress.
This though it were infinitely agreeable and acceptable
to him (as he owns in his answer), yet he so far declined
> Ex fiiadat. ori^. Inter Mcbiv*. * Lib«r procur. p. S3, 140,

NICHOLAS HETCALFE THIRD UAffTEB. 97
the welcome offer, as to desire the foTudress might have
the first place in -their prajera, as just and dae, that as she
was already commemorated at Christ's college, so she might
have the same office performed for her at St John's, and
5 that it wonld be enough for him to be placed next her and
to be joined in partnership with their common patroness.
That anything fmther was done for the foundress does not
appear ; the decree rona in the bishop's name only, but this
was an instance of his singular virtue and moderation in
lo denying himself thns far in a thing he so mnch desired,
and which (in his mistaken opinion) was of snch ttse to the
health' of his soul by freeing it from the flames of purga-
tory, unless it could be had consistently with another's
title to the like advantages with himself, and is an answer
15 to the objections of one Richard Croke' an ambitious,
envious and discontented wretch, who had been preferred
by him and had eat his bread, and yet had. the impudence
to charge him with setting up for founder in diminution of
the right and honour of the foundress and with other such
30 calumnies as hiB malice could invent. His objections are
best answered by the bishop himself in a letter* he vouoli-
safed to write to that wretch, and is very well worth read-
ing to any one that has an honour for the bishop's memory,
or that can take pleasure in seeing right done to innocence
2*; against calumny and detraction.
The good bishop had been'many years reviewing, alter-
ing and enlarging his statutes : being now (as we may im-
agine) pretty perfect, and he now absolute in power, most
OT all the executors being dead, at least those that inter-
30 posed in the college business, he this year' gave a complete
body of statutes, which being under seal and undoubtedly
authentic, I shall give som^ short account of them, and that
principally historical ; for the rest referring to the original
volume now in very wortiiy bands.
35 As the former statutes were partly borrowed from
Christ's college and Corpus Cliristi college statutes at Ox-

statuteB were made tise of in this new digest ; not having
met with them (xmless Eton college statutes were the car-
dinal's, an ancient copy whereof interlined and altered is
yet lodged in the treasury) I can say nothing to explain
their use. It is certain the cardinal's fonndation was in 5
nature and kind very different from this.
By these statutes' there was to be a master and eeren
seniors, the major part whereof was to be of the nine
northern coimtiee favoured by the foundress; the whole
number of fellows of the foundation was to be twenty-eight, 10
and at least one half of these was always to be of the nine
northern counties according to the foundress' intentioii:
which that it may be better known, or being a thing of
old date, that it may not be forgot, I will put down the
words of the statute*; Nam oh inopiam—jundatrtx quoa- 15
dam hujus regni comitatut duxit prcBferendos, nempe Du-
nelmicE, Northumbrice, Westm^na, Comhriw, Ehoraci, Bich-

minimum medietatem aoGwntm eemper assumeadam jussit
tarn in collegia ieto quam in collegia Chrisli per earn ante ^q
fundato, cujus ordinationem nos nequaquam decet infringere.
Here then is a plain direction at Christ college where the
foundress' old statutes drawn up by bishop Fisher are
yet in force ; and it is a direction at St John's, as far as
her intention is consistent with the present statutes; so far 25
her intention or ordinance is ^et religiously to be observed,
and I pretend not to cany it any ftuther.
Xhe same rule and the like division was to be obserV^
in the choice of scholars, whose number was to be twenty-
two, if it could conveniently be had; so that with twenty- 30
eight fellows here was the full number of fifty fellows and
scholars originally intended. Private foundations did not
come into the account, nor were they to fill any county,
which was to be still open for the foundation, aa if there
had been no private founder for that county: and such 35
regard was had to private foundations, that if by any
calamity the college revenues should be so far reduced as
not to be sofScient to maintain the establishment in its
full complement, after all other retrenchments made and

jewels and other omameDts sold, the scholars first, aod
afterwards the fellowships of the foundation were to be
sunk, before they broke in npon prirate foondera ; and this
for very good reasons there mentioned, though had there
5 been none, the bishop had an equitable ground and right
to dispose in this manner, so great a part of the foundation
having been of hia own procurement, and the foundress'
power being lodged solely in his hands.
The fellows at their admission were to take a strict
lo oath for the observance of the statutes, and withal to give
bond of £100 not to obtain or cause to be obtained,
directly or indirectly from the pope, the court of Home, or
any other place, any licence or dispensation contrary to
their oath, or to accept or use it so obtained. Many of
15 which bonds are yet extant', only the pope was soon after
altered for the king, or else the bonds run in general
expressions; and were a proper and reasonable securi^,
and such as it were to be wished had been continued. No
such security was neediul from the scholars yet under awe
30 and discipline ; bat it was part of the oath both of fellows
and scholars not to provoke or bow divisions in the college
by comparing birth with birth, county with county, or
north with south : then likewise a due caution, when
divisions run high upon that account both in college and
ag nniversily.
The allowauce for commons was the same as formerly,
and £6 per annam was yet enough to found a fellowship,
as £3 per annam was enough to found a scholar ; whence it
may be observed that the college profited more by those
30 that gave scholarships, than it did by those that founded
fellows.
A limited power, was left to the bishop of Ely of
visiting the society, and because those bishops might
think their power too mnch confined and might be un-
35 willing to sabmit to sach limitations, it was added that
these Btatotea were given by authority &ora the apostolic
Bee, whereby was meant the bull of Julius the Second for
dissolving the old house and erecting a college' and
■ Ex bull* Julii MonndL

empowering the executors to ordain etatutes for their new
foondatioa.
The biahop's private Btatotea and private fonudations
are added at the close of this volame, an account whereof
I have reserved to this place. He first gave £500, where- 5
• with were purchased lands to the yearly value of £25';
afterwards he gave lands with the others lying in Hol-
beche, Eamrick, Ridgwell, Weston, &e., to the value of
£60 per annum, in all £85 per annum, equal to or exceeding
the revenues of the old house : besides his jewels and all his lo
other furniture, whereof he made a deed of gift which with
a large inventory is yet lodged in the treasury, though
the thioga themselves never came there for reasons too
well known to need to be related: but we lost a great
treasure 1^ the loss of his books. 15
Out of these estates he founded four fellowships and
two scholarships. Three of his fellows and the two scholars
were to be choae out of the county of York, the other
fellow out of the diocese of Bocheater*: all his fellows, if '
priests, to receive a mark per quarter beyond the usual 20
stipend. He founded, besides four ezaminators, with two
lecturers for the Greek and Hebrew tongue; his exami-
nators to receive 40«., the Grreek lecturer £3 and the Hebrew
reader £5 per annum ; with £12 per annTim for trentals,
usually enjoyed by six of the fellows, to each one 40«.; 35
aud moneys to be annually distributed at his exequies to
the master, fellows aud scholars upon the day of his death,
varying in the sum according to the number then present.
How these were disposed of will afterwards appear.
These are the last statutes of bishop Fisher that I have 30
met wiUi, and being yet under seal were possibly the last
that he gave, for his troubles were now coming thick
_ upon him. There is a lett^' firom the college to Cromwell
or some other great man at court, not named, signifying
that when the archbishop of Canterbury took an account 35
of the state of the house, he found several thmgs in the
statutes either obscure, defective or redundant, which bishop
Fisher at the instance of the sociely did not refuse to re-

view and amend, that the statutes with these amendmentB
were very entire and perfect, and beg leave that they
might have acceaa to him in the Tower, that he might
ratify and confirm them thus amended hj setting to his
5 band, being the only executor then aorviTlng.
That the master and afterwards three of the most
considerable fellows, Brandisbe, Seton and Eedmain, at-
tended him from the socie^, and that statutes were written
and copied feir over this year, is very certain, but that
lothey were sealed does not appear from the books, as it
does very plainly upon the two last occasions. The truth
of it is, though these amendmeats as coming from the
srchbiBhop were undoubtedly good, yet they were probably
each, as though the bishop did not (and perhaps could not
15 safely) re^e, yet such as upon his principles he could
not heartily comply with, and to which he might think
fit to suspend his consent.
If anything were altered, the first thing that was to be
amended was the fellows' bond not to accept licence or
20 dispensation to their oath or statutes, which implying in
it the pope's supremacy, could not safely stand any longer,
or not without offence, when the supremacy was disowned.
But this, I believe, was not done; for had it been altered
by statute, there had been one uniform rule for the fellows
^5 to go by in giving their bonds, whereas the following
bonds' vary in form ; first the pope is left out, then both
pope and court of Bome, afterwards the king is substituted
instead of the pope, then the king is left out and the
bonds run only in general terms, from any place or person.
30 There is this further to be said, that in queen Mary's
reign, when the same statutes were again revived that
were left in force by bishop Fisher, the bonds then run -
in one uniform manner and in the same form that was
required by the statutes we are now speaking of. The best
35 way' of judging of these statutes is by comparing them
witii the books and other instruments iu this reign, where-
with they agree ; whereas in Henry the Eighth's reign)

there was coDfdBion in the college, bo it appears upon tlie
books; and indeed part of the bishop's revenueB (however
otherwise settled) having for some time been paid in to the
king, there must needs have been a dependance in stipends
etc upon his majesty's boonty. These, as the biahop says, 5
were his last will, and as sach I shall leave them.
I shall not enter into the history of his fall, being
foreign to my purpose. It mast be said for the honour of
the society, that they were not wanting to him on tliis last
occasion: for aa he was several times attended by the '°
master and some of the fellows during his imprisonment,
80 there are several things entered upon the books' for his
use and service. Above all there is a noble letter from
them, penned in such a strain, that whoever was the com-
poser must surely have been very sensibly and feelingly 15
affected with the bishop's sufferings, as well as with the
obligations of the college. It is there that as they profess
to owe everything to his bounty, all that they enjoy and all
that they know, so they offer and devote themselves and all
they are masters of to his service, and beg of him to use it ^o
as his own. And eo it really was, nor coald they compli-
ment him with his own. The college was first undertaken
by his advice, was endowed by hia bounty or interest, pre-
served from ruin by his pmdence and care, grew np and
flourished under hia countenance and protection, and was 25
at last perfected by his conduct. In one word he was the
best friend since the foundress and greatest patron the
college ever had to this day.
Ilis full character I do not meddle with, I most be no
advocate for hie private opinions, and his private virtues do 30
not want one : he is allowed by all to have been a good
' man ; for matters of opinion, I must leave him to stand or
Ml to God Almighty. That he never rose higher than
Rochester will not seem strange, since he never sought
that, which was thrown upon him purely by the favour of 35
the king, without the intercession or interest of any friend
or patron or of the foundress his patroness^, as he says
himself. Being placed there, he was content with his

chiirge, which with less revenue had smaller cure, and
being married to hia bishopric he would not be di-
Torced.
Upon his fall the king seized his funiitnre and other
5 moveables, which by a deed of gift belonged to the college,
and seems to have gone yet farther ; for a year or two after
payments are made to the king pro episcopo Bofiensi',
which, I soppose, must be meant of the issues of his estates
lately mentioned. Some of the foundress' furniture in his
10 custody is said to have been then likewise seized, which he
might have reserved for his own use during life ; I do not
find nor cau it be supposed it was considerable, though it
helped to swell the account whenever the college dis-
patched their missive letters to court to beg or complain.
15 But whatever right the socie^ might have to them,
though they were begged of the then reigning king and
the two succeeding princes, yet neither his other moveables
nor his books, that were of best use and most valued,
could ever be recovered.
30 It mnst be with regard to this blow that the society
has been said to lose by the bishop, for it could be no
otherwise (his lands remaining to them being some of
the best they enjoy at this day) that is, they lost some-
what he had before given them, together with some of
»5 the foundress' furniture, which, had he pleased, he might
have disposed of to some other use of her will, and par-
ticnlarly to her servants, who were always complaining
that the intention of her will had not been satis^ed with
regard to them. Her will was left imperfect, and where
30 things are left so, it is hard for executors to satisfy all de-
mands, where every pretender interprets the will in favour
of himself, and will think himself wronged, if he la not
gratified in his unreasonable demands.
Besides his benefactions to this society, he gave £100
35 to Michael hall, of which house he originally was, and
£43 to Christ's college' for a perpetual dirge or obit to
be observed for him there; whether he did anything for
Queens', where he bad been master, I cannot aay. His

obit at Christ's is dated Febmaiy 22 an. 1525, John
Watson then master, and rans in veiy hononrable terms,
that whereas the bishop of Kochester, with a pioua mind
and paternal affestion, cr rather hy divine instinct, had
procured their college to he erected hy Ms advice and per- $
auimon with the Jbundress, and had by all meatu thai were
in his power taken care that it should be brought to per-
fiction, both hy giving them statutes and Uiks and by pro-
curing them endowments, so that next to the foundress ikey
and their posterity were indebted to him for the comforts lo
and conveniences of life they had or should enjoy ; they
therefore promise^ a perpetual dirge to be observed far him
annually on the 3rd of February by the master, fellows
and scholars, amongst whom diatribution was to be then
made ; for the performance whereof they oblige themselves 15
to the bishop and to the master of St John's college.
These were his benefactions, which wonld afford matter
of wonder, how they should spring ont of hia narrow
fortunes and scanty preferments, did we not consider, that
as he lived frugally, so he reserved nothing to himself or ao
heirs; everything was disposed of during his life, only
some small pensions were charged upon the college to his
relations and servants, which nature and religion obliged
him to provide for. He died (as noted upon his statutes)
on the 10th of the cal. of July an. 1535. 25
The bishop thus taken off, the master, Dr Metcalf, had
lost his surest patron and best support. He was now
grown old, and a new set of fellows growing up addicted to
a new and politer sort of learning, was undeservedly neg-
lected by them ; and though he had gone along with the 30
changes that were made about the time of bishop Fisher's
death, ftw he with Mr George Day* and Mr John Cheke
were appointed the college proxies to appear before the
king's commissioners in the matter of the oaths of the succes-
sion and supremacy in 1536, yet he had formerly in convo- 35
cation opposed the king's proceedings in the case of the
divorce, and had still so much left of the old leaven and of
bishop Fisher as rendered him unacceptable at court.

It wa9 by intimation from tLence (and intimations
then were to be complied with, whilst they lay so much at
the king's mercy and had- the case of cardinal Wolsey's
foundation before their ^es) and by inclination in some of
5 the fellows, men of greater learning than gratitude and
duty, that the good old man, wearied and neglected by
these men of leamiog, being rather tired oat and intimi-
dated than formally compelled', on the 4th of July an.
1537 by his own act abdicated the government; an act
ID which, though it speaks freedom, yet is seldom volnntary.
For however the thing may be mollified apon the books by
the softer term of an abdication, it was in effect an espnl-
mon, and ao Dr Cains' styles it, who further observes, that
aU those that hod a hand in this ungrateful action were
15 afterwards unfortunate and rewarded in the same manner
as they had served Dr Metcalf. He names none, nor shall
I name many, or search too deep into the secrets of provi-
dence. But it is very observable that Dr Day, who suc-
ceeded him in the mastership here and was removed &om
30 hence to King's college, was afterwards obliged to abdicate
his provofltship' to make room for Cheek, and that Sir John
Cheek after a few years' enjoyment did abdicate* (i.e. un-
willingly resigned) that preferment in the same manner
that Day had done before him, and that under btahop
35 Day's own roof, to make way for a third person. And yet
these two great men, who thus jostled out one another, had
been very dear and entire iu their friendship whilst they
lived under Dr Metcalf, to whom they both owed their
rise and beginning; which was mean enough, especially
30 Cheke's, whose mother sold wine in St Mary's parish in
Cambridge, in which quality she may be met with upon
the college books*.
Dr Metcalf thus dismissed contentedly retired, having
a full discharge granted him by the college' August 1
35 the same year, wherein he is said to have made a true,

questioned.

first of Henry the Eighth ; when 6«. Sd. is placed to ac-
count expended upon a dirge for Dr Metcalf ', so much for
links, 80 much for wax and other requisites of a fimeral. lo
There is besides placed to account so much for setting up
a table in the wall for Dr Metcalf, whereby is probably
meant the little monnment of brass in the oater chapel with
this inscription, as far as it can be read, for it has been
much de&ced in evil times : 1 5

Dr Day might not cate to be upbraided with such a monn- 30

BQCcessor, who had no hand in this ungrateful business.
Bat wheneTcr it was placed there, or whoever bestowed
it, he certainly deserved a larger monument; for besides
the services he did the college from its first foundation, 25
having been his patron's constant agent from Bochester to
Cambridge, when he himself could not attend the founda-

£40 towards some additional boildiags Hince demoliBhed
upon building the second court, a sum then large enough
to have founded a fellowship, had hia ambition prompted
him to that deBign.
5 It were no hard matter, were it not too tedious, to
recount the particular foundations settled under him. About
seven or eight yearsafter his prefecture, an. 1 545 ', an account
being taken of the state of this and other coliegea by order
from court by Matthew Parker then Tice-chanceltor, John
lo Bedman then master of King's hall, and William Hay mas-
ter of Queens', commissionated by the king', the revenues
of this college were found to amount to £625. Is. 4d. per
annum, r^meianon deduetta, and these deductions made, to
£536. 2a. 2d, And yet the account was given in as low as
15 possible, to prevent the designs of hungry courtiers, who,
having swallowed up and devoured the houses of religion,
were for breaking in upon the seats of learning, had not
they been prevented by the king, who was so well satisfied
with the account and with the number that was main-
30 tained with these revenues (which was likewise given in),
that he hidthem hold their own, far though he could not fir-
hear viriling for his courtiers, yet he would leave it to their
choice, whetJier they would gratify t^em or not: vnlh which
words (says Dr Parker') we were well armed, and so de-
25 parted.
To conclude with Dr Metcalf; he was a man, if not
very learned, yet of sufficient abilities and tolerable acquire-
ments in most sorts of learning ; I am sure he is compli-
mented upon that account by learned men: whatever was
30 wanting in his own stock, was made up by encouraging it
in others, which no man could do more readily or more
impartially than he did. Of all those men that had a
hand in taming him out, I may positively affirm, that as
they owed their preferment, so there was hardly one of
35 them that did not in a great measure owe his learning
to his encouragement. It was his entertainment amongst

that did the beat, as they wanted not open enconrage-
ment, eo if indigent, thej had moneys conyeyed to them 5
into their studies' from unknown hands, but imdonbtedly
from his; of which Sir John Cheke was, I suppose, an
instance. And whatever party or persuasion they were of,
whether of the new leamiag or of the old, which begun
then to diyide the college, or of whatever country, north lo
or south, if tb^ were hopeful and deserving and not over
turbulent, they were undoubtedly preferred.
It has been objected to'him that he favoured his own
country too much ; Mr Ascham*, who knew him well, will
absolve him of that charge, nor could there be any need 1 5
or occasion for such favour. The north was so much
.£ivonied by the statutes and private founders, that nothing
more was wanting than to do right to the constitution ; bat
if doing right to that will make a man partial, he was theu
confessedly guilty of partiality, and yet had be done ether- 3o
wise, he had been unjust.
He was every way an excellent master, for though he
were not possessed of all that learning that might have
been desired, but could not be expected from a man in con-
tinual business, yet he had that which was more desirablo 35
and more necessary in a governor, prudence and conduct,
which he shewed in the long and continued course of his
government, and would have held the reins longer, had not
the current of the limes run against him.
He was vicar of Kemsyng and Hoo in Kent and rector 30
of Sottthfleet in the same county, afterwards rector of
Wodeham Ferrers in Essex", to which preferment he was
admitted July 13 an. 1517 upon the resignation of John

Dk Metcalf being kid aside by a forced resignation, the
society were very fall of themselves and tJieir own happi-
ness in a new choice, which they had not had since they
were a college. The men of great learning had snch con-
fidence in their own strength and wisdom*, that they did 5
not donbt of bringing in a man of their own party, if they
might be left to a free election ; to this end they supplicate
Cromwell, then their chancellor and the king's vicegerent
and visitor here, that he would indulge them this happi-
ness, and give him strong hopes that all should be trans- lo
acted to his satisfaction ; and having obtained leave and
Cromwell having by intimation from the king pointed out
Dr Day to their choice, a man acceptable to them and
gracious at court (for the late service he had done in the
case of the sapremacy, having then as public orator' penned '5
the university decree or determiuation, so well done, that
it shews the genius of a great man] they proceed to an

was none to oppose him, by a majority of votes. For

done by an unanimous consent, and the same is said in his
presentation to the vice-chancellor, yet in the original' in-
strument of his admisaion by the vice-chancellor Dr Mallet
master of Michael hall, it is only said that he waa chose
15 (as they asserted) per myorem et saniorem partem omnium
eociorum, ondoubtedly meant as a twit to the dissenting
party.
However this did not satisfy the court, which had been
a&onted in the election by slurring the king's recom-
30 meudation ; and therefore letters* were dispatched to Fox
bishop of Hereford (then provost of King's college) in a
very melancholy strain, wherein they beg of him to have
compassion on the college then in danger of ruin by the
king's displeasure conceived against them, unless they
35 could be set right at court by his advice, interest and
good offices, *n mitigtUing and appeasing the indigtiatvm of
the king. Cromwell was likewise addressed to in another
letter, wherein they confess their own folly, but lay the
blame upon the mde and more unskilful part of the fellows,
30 who being too fall of the thoughts of a free election, did
not consider and duly attend to the king's intention, and
BO blundered upon the wrong man; but this error had
been corrected by the more skilAil members of their socie^,
and hope he will not impute the faults and folly of some
35 rash men to the whole body. And that nothing might
be wanting to complete their application and address. Day

himaelf was sent np to charm Cromwell and the court with
his eloquence. The thing ended well, and it was happj
for the aocietj that the election went in this manner, for
otherwise it might have given them an irrecoverable blow,
and probably nothing leaa than bishop Fisher's large 5
endowments could have atoned for their rashness.

petitioned' Cromwell to use his interest with the king for
leave to choose one of their own body, but the king's
answer being in favour of his chaplain Dr Deye, a man
for his qualities apt and aide fir that function, and there
being no other bar but their statutes, the king did dig- 15
pense ikerewUh hy virtue of his supreme authority, and by
the same made him able to all intents and purposes; and
being thus qualified, he was elected by the society with
much readiness and by an imaaimouB consent. The king's

'Tis pity he did not continue longer ; being fitted for
government and very learned, the college might have
flourished under him mnch more than it did under his
successor, who had not the art of governing a college;
especially divided, as the society then was. In his younger 30
years he had studied physic and was the first' that held
the Linacre lecture ; he is complimented by Dr Caios* in
an epistle dedicatory upon his skill in that faculty, as well
as in oratory and other liberal arts: it was in these he

divine, wherein he was exceeded by Kedmain, Madew and
others, that were fellows sbont the same time.
He did not appear at court till ai^er he was master;

advanced to be the king's chaplain* and almonei' to the
qaeen ; soon after to the see* of Chichester, and was the
first memliei of this society that wore a mitre, unless arch-
bishop Holgate* be made an exception,

to have been fellow of King's college, which he never was;
he was admitted fellow of St John's Septem. 19 an. 1522',
there is no mention there of his county, but when he was
admitted master*, he is said to be of the diocese of Lich-
15 field and Coventry ; he was bom in Shropshire, at or near
Newport in that comity. He did not live to be old, nor
did he die so young as Dr Fuller has made him, as will
partly appear &om the date of his admission, and from the
date of his degrees in the University, and &om hid own

in college, arid before one of whose books' he has two
copies of verses that shew him to have been no ill poet),

with his sapremacy, bat after the king's death he turned
against it, and died a zealous catholic in queen Mary's
reign.

are put down as his gift to the library, together with a

he leaves St Chrysostom and Clemens Alexandrinns in
Greek, and to his successors in the see of Chichester his
crosier and mitre garnished and set with pearl, with some
plate, vestments and moneys to that church. Most of the
rest of hie estate was disposed of to hia relations and

JOHN TAYLER FIFTH MASTER,
Elected July 4th an. 1538,
The king seema to have removed Dr Day with some
design to ttj the college obedience, for whereas they had
petitioned him before to have a member of their own, and
had signified the large choice they had amongst themselves,
5 and he had gratified them in their desires by recommending
a deserving member of their own body, and yet they had
been refractory; ho now passed them all by, and picked
ont a man that had been of another house, now absent
from the university. This was Dr John Tayler, sometime
lo fellow of Queens' college and proctor of the university,
who, however deserving he might otherwise be or fitted for
another station, yet being a stranger to the society, where'-
tbere were bo many other men of equal worth, it was a
little hard upon them and some trial of their obedience to
15 bring him over them. However they were too much
alarmed with the last election to ventnre to offend the king
the second time, and therefore He was unanimously elected
and a return made to court of their choice' on the fourth of
July this year.
30. But forced elections are seldom happy, as appeared in
this ; for, bating the two first years which were pretty easy,
when Mr Ascham*, having a pupil to prefer, compliments
him upon the happiness of bis government, in all the suc-
ceeding years he had continual uneasiness with his fellows,-
^5 The divisions and heats, that had been pretty well allayed,

broke out ander him into open flames, and after' great
strngglea and long contending betwixt him and his fellows
(wherein the master with the less part will usually have the
l)etter),theotherpart thinking themselves aggrieved, two or
three of their party being actually expelled in the heat of 5
their opposition and in defence (as they supposed) of their
common rights, and others whom they had chose being
not admitted, after no other remedy could be had, they at
last brought in the bishop of Ely their visitor upon him.
The visitation was opened April 5th an. 1542* before lo
William Mey LL.D. the bishop's chancellor at Queens'
college, where Mr Henry Cumberford and Mr Henry San-
derson as proxies appeared in the name of the rest of their
brethren the appellants, viz, John Seton, Thomas Crosley,
Thomas Watson, Albain Langdale, Thomas Peacocke, 15
Richard Becke, Eichard Faucet, John Young, William
Blaxton, George Bullocke, Christopher Brown, William
Hanley, Thomas Canferell, Robert Hebletwliaite, William
Leper, Ralph Canterell, George Wheatley and John Eaw-
linson, the greater and snundei' part of all the fellows then ao
present ; and having allcdged their grievances and offered
to make proof of them against the master, he was cited to
appear before the bishop witliin a certain day.
This was May the 2nd, when the bishop himself re-
pairing to the college and having taken his place in the ^3
chapel, the master with the fellows his adlierents, as well
as the other fellows the appellants, being all called did
make their appearance before him. The bishop then was
Goodrich, a man of a sweet temper and a lover of peace,
who after a passionate exhortation to concord and agreement 30
advised them to withdraw and confer amongst themselves ;
which having done, in order to come at some expedient,
and having weighed the matter more calmly with regard to
themselves and their own danger, as well as in confidence
of the bishop's impartiality, they resolved by compromise 35
to refer the whole matter to him, and all of them stipulated
to stand to his determination.

the bishop appeared again in person, and by virtae of this
compromise of the master aod fellows, as well as bj his
vieitatorial power, came to thi^ short determination : that tho
three deprived fellows, viz. Mr Sannders, Becke and Faocet,
5 submitting thunselres to the master and promising obedi-
ence for the futnre, should be restored to their former state
in every thing and receive the emolaments of their fellow-
ships ; that all the fellows that were chosen in the last
election should be admitted by the master and' received as
lo fellows, one Leaver only excepted, whom they all promised
to choose the next election, if no such objection were
lirought against him as might repel or hinder him from
being chosen. And lest the college might suffer prejudica
by none being admitted to one of Mr Ashton's fellowships,
15 it was ordered' that Sir Chrifltopherson, who had been
chosen into a foundress' fellowship last election, should be
removed to a fellowship of Mr Ashton's foundation, with
this provision, that such translation sliould not be drawn
into example, being of ill consequence if occasionally made
30 use of. And lastly he ordained, that all the fellows appel-
lants should humbly submit themselves to the master and
should pay him all dne obedience m licttis et honeetia, as
became them ; and so adjonmed his visitation, which was
continued by prorogations a great part of the following year,
35 till every thing as ordered and decreed was made good and
executed.
This Leaver, who is here excepted, was Thomss Leaver
of the same connty with ChristopheTSon, and had the same
title to that fellowship ; who, though he could not now be
30 admitted fellow, was nine years after admitted master of the
college, being then just B.D, and very young. What the
reasons were for stopping his admission I cannot be positive,
whether it were to make room for Mr Saunders, who does
not appear amongst the appellants, or whether he had been
35 too warm against the master, having much warmth and
zeal in his temper, that afterwards shewed itself when re-
straints were removed ; but he came in the next election,
Christopherson did not continue here long, for as he came

hither from Pembroke hall, bo upon the foundation of
Trini^ college he with John Yoong and some others of the
most flourishing parte were removed thither and admitted
into that society, where he was afterwards master, as his
two predecessors, Eedmain and Bill the two first masters 5
of that house, had been likewise fellows with him of the
same society.
I have pot down the names of all the appellants, that
Bomejudgement may be made of the controversies then de-
pending; for itmay easily be observed, that as most of these lo
appellants were northern men, oi in northern foundations,
and most of them men of the old learning, as the distinc-
tion then went, so most of the other party were otherwise
in their persons and opiniona. And thoogh the bishop of
Ely did his part to hei^ these divisions, for which he had 15
the college thanks' by a letter dispatched to him by Mr
Cheke* and Mr Comberford, two leading men of the dif-
ferent parties, and though they promised fairly to improve
his good offices and tmLinances to a mutual agreement, yet
the divisions were kept up and could not be healed in 20
several succeeding years.
In this letter to the bishop of Ely there is mention of
some obscure and intricate passages in their statntes, which
they desire him to explain as visitor : these obscurities or
ambiguities gave the first rise or pretence to the alteration '5
of these statutes, which was undertaken soon after by
application to the king. Who was at the bottom of this
design will be easily imagined; the king's statutes were
given in 154d : Dr Day was then bishop of Chichester and
in favour at court, Mr Cheke was sent for to court July 30
10, 1544, to be preceptor to the prince, and Dr Tayler had
interest there : his fellows had been uneasy to him under
the original constitution, and were to be curbed with new
laws.
The/ were probably penned or revised by Mr Cheke, 35
than whom no man oould have done them better, though
they are in a great measure borrowed from bishop Fisher's

statutes in ench particulara where they are not intended to
contradict them : they are luhered in with a piefttce, shew-
ing the leasons for altering these statate^, that they were
fotjnd obscare and amHgnoua in several particulars, which
5 had given occasion to discoid and disturbances in the col-
lege, and that there were some things in them iniqutora et
qu€B de jutta rerum deaeripttone paululum dejlexerant^, and
these things were to he rednced to a more moderate form.
What these ohscarities and ambignitieB were is liard to say,
lo for all men do not see alike ; and therefore I shall endea-
Tonr to trace out those particnlars that were thought to be
unjust or nneqnal, by pointing out some of the most mate-
rial coTTections, and leave the judgement of them to be made
by others.
15 By these statutes' there was to be a master and twelve
seniors (the master's stipend was almost doubled with some
new advantages] and only one mediety of the seniors and
no more were to be of the nine northern counties: and
whereas by the original establishment these nine counties
30 were to have at least one half of all the fellows and scho-
lars of the foundation according to the foundress' inten-
tion, by these statutes they could only have so many at
most and it was scarce possible for them to have so many:
for whereas before private foundationB were no bar to any
35 coanty, it was now otherwise, these private foundations
were to come into account, so that where there were two
fellows or scholars in for private founders in any county,
that coun^ was fiill and could have no advantage irom the
foundation.
30 And whereas by the original establishment' there were
to be twenty-eight fellows and twenty-two scholars for the
foundress and four fellows and two scholars for bishop Fisher,
being of his own private foundation; by this new esta-
blishment' there were to be Ihirty-two fellows and twenty-
35 four scholars {besides three for other uses) for the foundress
and none for bishop Fisher. The mark per quarter formerly
allowed to his four fellows was now placed to account to
the four seniors of the foundation, and the £12 per annum
' Tit, de sociorum ct ilktup. qu>- .

usually allowed to six of the fellows, 40^. each, for his
treatals, was now to be divided amongst six or more of
the fellows who were to pray for the founireas, without
any mention of bishop Fisher,
And wliereas he had founded four ezaminators and two 5
readers of the Greek and Hebrew tongue, alt these were
retained upon the new establishment, and 40s. allowed to
each examinator, and £4 per annum to each reader, with a
profound silence of the bishop. In the last place, whereas
by bts private statutes so much moneys was to be distri- 10
buted amongst the master, fellows and scholars at his
dirge or exequies, the like distribution' was to be made
and the same proportion to be observed, the bishop being
left out and this placed to the account of the foundress.
Thus these statutes ordain. How they were executed 15
will appear from the books, where the same year these
statutes were given, tlie same four fellows that were capel-
lani for bishop Fisher, viz. Dr Seton the noted logician, Mr
Horn afterwards bishop of Winchester, Mr Fawden and
Mr Thompson, receive stipend the first quarter j?ro epis- 20
copo Bofensi, and the three following quarters receive tlie
like stipend of a mark pro Jundatrice. And so of the rest,
the dirge, lectures, etc,
This indeed was doing right to the foundress in an
abundant manner ; which, since it was done by the king, 23
I will not question : he might possibly look upon all
bishop Fisher's good eatatea settled upon the college as es-
cheated or confiscated to the crown, and being so his own,
might be willing in this easy way to make a further com-
pensation to the college for their losses sustained from that 30
quarter. Whatever other reasons he had, I pretend not to
know them (for if the bishop died possessed of any of the
foundress' plate or jewels, they came to the king). But
princes have often secret reasons that are not to be pene-
trated by other men, and these being too deep for me, 1 35
shall leave them to God Almighty.
This I may say, that the king's statutes and the
bishop's are flatly contrary in these particulars, so there

modt be hardship on the one hand or the other : and if it
lies on the bishop's side, the king snrelj has not said
enough, for then the bishop's statutes did not only dejuala
rerum descrtpttom paululum dsfiectere.
5 One thing was omitted in these statutes mentioned in
the former ; the bond was left out, given by the fellows at
their admission, not to accept dispensation with their oath
or statutes, which might usefully have been retained, might
it not have been thought a limiting the king's supremacy,
lo though it was no more than what had been formerly done
for the pope's. And one other thing is added, that might
have been omitted, for it ccmes in very oddly'; there was
to be every year a lord at Christmas, whose duty is there
prescribed at large, which gave occasion to such an abuse
15 as could never be regulated, till it was at last wholly laid
aside. The bishop of Ely was continued visitor, under
such limitations as the king by his supreme power could
more unquestionably and more effectually put upon him.
But I have enlarged too much upon these statutes,
ao which are now of no force, and indeed of no use in dis-
covering the foundress' intention, which may be had
better irom the old statutes. At the close of these statutes
is added the name of P. or W. Lylly, which has given
occasion to a certain person^ to suppose them to have been
as penned by W. Lylly the famous grammarian, who had
been dead twenty years before, and this W. Lilly, who-
ever he was, had probably no other hand in them than as
a scribe in copying tliem over.
It might have been expected that these statutes would
30 have given peace to the college, as was intended, and pro-
bably so they might, had they observed somewhat moie of
temper, and had not turned the bias too much the other
way : but whilst the men were the same, and the statutes
so very opposite, to the temper of those that were to be
35 governed by them, they rather provoked new heats than
■ any ways allayed the old ones, and the divisions broke out
again so outrageously, that Dr Tayler the very next year
was obliged to abdicate the government. Mr Parker' says
ityGoO^k'
132 ST John's oollsoe.
he was ejected, bat, as he mistakea the time, so, I suppose,
he IB mistaken in the thing. It was-only an involuntary
resignation, or abdication. For the same form of words,
that wafl made use oP upon the books for Dr Metcalf, does
afterwards serve for Dr Tajler, the date and names being 5
only altered.
There is a letter" firom him aoine years before to Dr
BnttB, wherein he offers, that if the king wonid please to
bestow on him some prebend* towards the maintenance of
his house at Lincoln (being then dean), he would imme- lo
diately resign his mastership to be disposed of by the king,
(which was no large compliment, if the king had known
how weary he was of that preferment), and adds some
other reasons, which for his honoar and with regard to his
memory I shall conceal: he did not resign till under the 15
sacceeding king, though very early in that reign; and
though the coDrt had then another man in view, yet that
he had any compensation then made him*, I cannot say;
for he was not promoted to the see of Lincoln till the
latter end of that reign. ao
He was of Queens' college', where he was elected
fellow about the year 1524, having commenced B.A. the
year before", together with Matthew Parker afterwards
archbishop of Canterbury and one of the Ridleys, pro-
bably he that was afterwards bishop of London, two very 25
bright and shining ornaments of the university. In the
year 1532-3 he waa chose one of the proctors, which being
a year of action and business gave him opportunities of
making himself known. By the king's favour he became
rector of St Peter's' Comhill London, and dean' ofs©

as he says in his letter to Dr Butts, where he owns all his
preferments to the king's bounty, and says, he looked for
nothing of the gtfi of any of the biahopg. Bat he waa after-
5 wards bishop of Lincoln, and was scarce warm in that see,
when by queen Mary's accession to the throne he suffered a
second ejectment, and prevented further sufferings by a
timely death. Somewhat he left the college by will, the
particular sum does not TCry clearly appear"; more than
TO that £6. 13s. 4d, was received as the bequest of Dr Tayler
bishop of Lincoln, but as the sum was small, so it was
slowly paid ; for it was not received till the year 1566.
He was esteemed a good man and a good divine, but
was not the best master ; for either through hie too much
15 indulgence to his servants and relations or through his too
eager pursuit of preferment having ventured upon some irre-
gular steps, he has not left the most unspotted character* in
the college. I have often wondered how his private letters'
came into the college treasuiy, whether they were trumped
30 up against him at the visitation, or whether being well
wrote be had kept copies, or what other way, I shall not
determine; but it had been better for him they had been

WILLIAM BILL SIXTH MASTER,
Adsottbd Mab. 10th ak. 1546.
The man in view at court to succeed Dr Tayler waa
William Bill, a friend of Mr Clieke preceptor and Thomas
Bill Esq, pbjBician to the king, so that having two such
powerful advocates he could not want the recommendation
of the court. The protector's letters were sent down in his g
favour, and though Mr Bill were then a very yonng man,
not full two years standing bachelor of divinity, yet ha
was unanimoosly chose and admitted master* March 10th
an. 1546, and the college choice signified to the protector*
in a letter dated the same day. lo
He came in at a very nice juncture, at the same period
with the reformation which he heartily favoured, which
though a happy period for the nation, yet was not so easy
for those that were concerned in it, especially if young and
unexperienced in business. The state of things was va- 15
riously perplexed ; two sorts of men chiefly and two sorts
of difficulties he had to contend with, blindness on the one
hand and overmuch zeal on the other ; the warm reformers,
and Mr Thomas Leaver at the head of them, were bo full
of the goodness of the design, that they could bear no ao
delays, but were for running before authonty ; Dr Madew
the vice-chancellor, a very prudent man (for he is styled
vir dtacretus upon the register of his admission as fellow)
and very hearty for the reformation, was too slow for their
zeal, and the master, not being able or willing to keep 25
pace with them, kept out of the way; they were imme-

Leaver was sent up to excuse the thing. A full account
whereof may be had in some of Mr Ascham's epistles,
lo particularly in one lately published in Mr Strype', only
there is a mistake in the date : for bishop Day being men-
tioned in that epistle aa then provoat of King's college, and
Dr Madew as vice-chancellor, which neither of them were
in any part of the year 1548, it must be placed a year
IS sooner and before October 2nd that year, when bishop Day
resigned his provostship. And probably the same con-
troversy waa one reason of his resignation', which was
carried on with equal warmth in tliat college by the fel-
lows there against his consent.
20 From one of Mr Ascham's epistles' (who was engaged
in the same controversy with these warm men, though not
with the same zeai, for he was no zealot in religion, as he
shewed in the following reign), it appears that the master
was very weary of these contentions and shewed an incli-
25 nation to resign his mastership. But the reformation getting
ground, having then obtained the countenance and piotec-
tioD of the government, he struck in with the reforming
par^, when the thing was become regular as well as good,
and in 1548 being chose vice-chancellor, was very forward
30 in promoting the reformation.
In 1649, being yet vice-chancellor, the university was
visited by the king's commiasionera, the bishops of Ely and
Eochester, Sir William Taget and Sir Thomas Smith
knights, John Cheke the king's preceptor, William Mey
35 LL.D. dean of Paul's, and Tho. Wendey M.D. the king's
physician ; and then those controversies, that had been so
eagerly debated by private men, were openly disputed by
the king's aathori^, and Dr Madew, who as vice-chancellor

bad forbid these qnestionsj to be bionght into the schools,
did now maintain them publicly when be was called upon
by aathority, being then the king's professor, as the king
himself s^Ies him in one of his letters' to the university,
recommending Bucer to succeed him. 5
The questions then maintained by him were :
Transubstantiatio rum potest proban acriptura verbis
nequ6 inde neceasario colligi negue veterum ante mtlle an-
nos orthodoxorum consensu confirmari.
In ctena nulla est alia Chrisli ablatio, nisi mortis ^'us lo
commemoratio et graliarum actio.
The opponents "were Dr Glyn, Mr Langdail, Segiswick,
Young and Parker of Trinity college, who opposed in their
silk hoods. Dr Madew answered in his cope, and as it i^
said, Ml/ lord ofRodiester helped Dr Madew, and as he saw iS
cause, 80 he made answer unto every one of the repliers, and
soluled their arguments, shewing very mucA learning, to the
great comfort of the auditors : and lastly the said lord of
Rochester determined the questions scholastico more.
The same questions were afterwards maintained in the ao
affirmative by Dr Glyn, opposed by llr Feme, Grindall,
Guest and Pilkington ; and again in the negative by Mr
Feme. The particulars are too many to be related; the
whole was concluded by my lord of Rochester, appointed by
the rest of the visitors and the noblemen to determine the trtUh 25
of the said questions, every man of them standing bareheaded
all the time of the determination, which was an whole hour ;
which the foresaid lord did by mani/esl scriptures and con-
ference of the same with the authority of the most ancient
doctors, loth wise, learnedly and godly concluding, that there 30
teas not transubstantiation to he proved nor gathered by
scripture or ancient doctors and in the sacrament, as touching
the first; nor yet that there was any other oblation in the
sacrament of the supper of our Lord, bat a commemoration
of his death and a thanksgiving, as touching the second. 35
The visitation was held in eveiy particular college,
beginning with St John's, whereof the vice-chancellor was
master ; where the visitors having been entertaiucd at the

pabHc diarge, the next day, May 7tli, they visited the
house', and went through with their busineaa before night,
whence it should seem they met with no great disorders
therein : nor does it appear they did much there, besides
5 placing several fellows and echolara, and besides givin,:^
new statutes, or rather by adding regnlationa and correc-
tions to those of Henry the Eighth, though the additions
are not many, the rasaree' are more, and those chiefly by
taking ont the venom of popery and superstition. The
to same was done in most of the otlier houses, if not in all.
The colleges that took them up most time were Peterhouse,
Jesus and Clare hall, in the last whereof they expelled
the master Howland Swinbum and Mr Pulley one of the
fellows, and brought in Dr Madew master of ihtit house.
15 These proceedings were of good use to Dr Bill, by
making his government easy during his short stay at St
John's : for Dr Redmayn master of Trinity, a great orna-
ment of the university as well as of the two colleges to
which he bore a relation, dying in November 1551, ho
20 was by the same interest with the protector removed to
that house, where he continued till the beginning of queen
Mary's reign, when he was ejected', two of his own fellows
Mr Boys and Mr Gray removing him from hie stall in the
chapel in a rude and insolent manner, to make way for
35 Mr Christopherson.
During that reign he lived in retirement at Sandey not
far from Ashwell, where I find him consulted and a civil
answer returned by him to the master and fellows, and
having outlived the queen, was restored by queen Eliza-
30 beth. By her, whose almoner* he was, he was promoted
to the provoBtship of Eaton and the deanery of Westmin-
ster, where he died July 15 an. 1561, was a benefactor to
that church, and lies interred therein with this epitaph':

He was of the family of the Bills of Aehwell in Hert- 5
fordshire, no very opulent family, for he was very poor,
and coming in fellow whilst fcHowshipa were liable 1>7 a
late act to the payment of the first fruits (soon after remit-
ted), he could not enter upon his preferment for some time
for want of moneys to satisfy the king. And yet the sum lo
was not great, for John Bill of Aahwell Hertfordshire was
afterwards bound for the payment of the moneys only in
the stun of five marks. He does not aeem to have been
"rich when he was chose master, for being then Linacer
lecturer', he held that lecture two years after he was master, 15
which no man would have done that did not want it.
As he was pressed with his own wants, so it is very
suspicious that he was under difficulties from his friends,
for his two patrons John Cheek and Thomas Bill Esq", had
two college leases* granted them very early, Ridgwetl and 20
Highara, two of the best the college had, and that many
years before they were expired. In Mr Cheke's lease of
Ridgwell a consideration is mentioned, the great aerricea
he had done the college, but that Thomas Bill Esq. did
ever do any service to the society, I have not heard ; or if 25
he had, it should have been rewarded another way.
At Trinity' he has deserved a place amongst their beat
masters, especially for his prudence and temper, both which
he had occasion to use whilst he presided over that society:
and if he has shewn any irailtles or failings here, allow- 30
ances must be made for difficult times and potent courtiers
that are not easily resisted.
In all his difficulties he had a aure friend of Dr Madew,
and a constant correspondent, when that doctor as vice-
chancellor solicited the bnainess of tlie university at court 35
and at London; some of whose letters' are yet preserved

THOMAS LEAVER SEVENTH MASTER',
AsHirrED Decembeb IOth, 1551, Reoiis Litekis.
The person that SQcceeded Dr Bill was a man of ae
mucli natural probity and blunt native lionesty as the
college ever bred, a man wltliout guile and artifice, that
never made court to any patron or for any preferment, one
that Iiad the spirit of Hugh Latimer ; no one can i-cad his 5
Bcrmons without imagining he has somewhat before him of
Latimer or Lullier. And yet though his sermons be bold
and daring anl full of i-cbuke, it was hia preaching that
helped him to hia preferment, the men at court being either
afraid of him, or his rebuking the courtiers having pro- lo
cured him reverence witli tlie king.
He was admitted master December* 10th, 1551 ; the year
before he preached two sermons, the one at Paul's Cross,
the other before the king, that would have spoiled any
man's preferment at this day : and because what Le says i3
may be depended upon as trae, and there are several
passages in these sermons illustrating the liistory of the
university by shewing the state of learning in that age,
their way of living and the course of their studies, as
■well as the manner of preaching in those days, I shall ^o
put down one or two jfassages from these sermons, that
may likewise serve to describe the author in his address
and temper.

firmly believe) at hie own cAarffe'. I have no doubt of
the belief of this honourable peraon, though at the same
time my own belief most rest upon Mr Leaver, as well from
the integrity of the man, as becanse what he says of £600
5 is sufficiently confirmed from the archives of the university'.
That living cost ns dear, and the moneys not being to be
raised otherwise, it was the first occasion* of draining the
chests, which have been since almost empty, and nothing
now to shew for them but auditors and Leys.
JO Kotwithstanding the pressures this and other colleges
were under in point of maintenance, which Mr Leaver com-
plains of in his sermons, occasioned by the courtiers' invad-
ing church preferments (that were intended as rewards of
learning) by racking their tenants, formerly accustomed to
15 easy rents whilst a great part of the lands of tlie nation
were in the hands of the church, by their neglect of hospi-
tality which ought to have been kept up, and by their want
of charity which had formeriy been maintained, yet the
college flourished in learning, and what usually attends it,
30 in the true religion. The reformation nowhere gained
more ground or was more zealously maintained, than it did
here under this master's example and the influence of bis
government : as appeared best in the day of trial, when he
with twenty-four of his fellows quitted their preferments to
35 preserve theit innocence.
For upon king Edward's death and the retnm of
popery and superstition, to the which he bore a perfect
abhorrence, he with two brothers of his name fled to
Arow in Switzerland, where he was preacher to a congre-
3ogation, and held a friendship and correspondence with
Bullinger and Calvin and received from them a tincture
very prejudicial to his future preferment. It was really
well he would condescend to fly, for he seemed to be made
for martyrdom; his testimonials are entered upon the
35 books* in rubric characters, whether from some inward
bodings or with what other intent was best known to him-

Under qaeen Elizabeth be letamed to England, but
never to his masterBhip, having brongbt with him that un-
happy tincture that nnqoalified him for greater preferments. 5
James Klkington, who had been fellow under him and
Bucceeded him as master (though not immediately) being
promoted to the see of Durham, he accepted the hospital of
Sherbum near Durham*, to which he was collated January
28th, 1562, then void by the death of Ralph Skinner; and lo
the year after' was collated to a prebend in that church,
both which preferments he held, aa I suppose, by some
connivance from the bishop.
He was deprived of his prebend an. 1567', but held his
hospital to hia dying day, when he was succeeded by one 15
of his name, Ralph Levir M.A., his brother, as I sup-
pose, and fellow of St John's, who was collated to Sher-
bum hospital July 16 an. 1577, as then void by the death
of Thomas Levir B.D. He is said to have died* at Ware
in his journey from London to Durham ; he lies buried (or ao
has a cenotaph) in the chapel at Sherbum under a fair
marble with this epitaph :
ThoTiias Leaver preacher to king Edward y Sixth, he d^ed
in July, 1577.
Preaching indeed was his talent (though in a very dif- zfi
ferent strain from Dr Bill) which, as it was thought fit to
be made the only ingredient in hia character, so he con-
tinued to the last, after he was deprived. Thus much may
be gathered from the printed Eegiater*, that will give a very
authentic character of the man. The passage is too long to 3°
be trauBcribed at large, but thus much may justly be in-
ferred from it in his commendation ; first, that he was so
OBcfnl ft person that he was permitted to preach after his
deprivatioQ ; and secondly, that he was so ino&nsive in his

temper, that no sufferings could provoke him to strike in
and join himself with violent men. And yet in king
Edward's reign, when preferment was in view, no man
had been more vehement or more galling in his sermons
5 against the waste of the church revenues and other prevail-
ing corruptions of the court, which has given occasion to
bishop Ridley' to rank him for his zeal with Latimer
and Knox,
The thing that gave the 6r8t and great offence, his
*° advising the queen not to accept the title of supreme
head, though it was borrowed from Calvin', yet seems to
have been done with temper and with regard to bring the
bishops into the church and government'. Calvin wrote
that comment in queen Mary's reign, when the dangers
■j were vbible of lodging such a power in the queen, and
Mr Leaver was so honest as to apply the doctrine home to
queen Elizabeth, though possibly it was the title that most
offended him. But this was no reign for such doctrines,
nor indeed for such preaching as Mr Leaver's, who had
20 been well heard by king Edward's courtiers, though they
would not amend ; under queen Elizabeth they were so far
from mending, that they would not hear: so it was in vain
for the charmer to charm any longer.
He was a married man, entered into that state upon his
35 return from exile and sooner than he could very safely do
it : some of his name and family are yet or were lately
living in the diocese of Durham. And might not that be
some bar to his return to his mastership? for the queen at
first only connived at the marriage of the clergy, and after-
30 wards by her injunction* there was no room for mistresses
within the walls of a college.
He gave Ludovic. Coelius Rhod.', as his predecessor
Dr Bill did Suidas, to the library. Books of his own

THOMAS WATSON EIGHTH MASTER,
Admitted SepTKHbEB 28, 1553.
TJpOK king Edward's death and queen Marj'a accession
to the throne, the nation having been too warm for a man
of Mr Leaver's zeal, who quitted the college in September
1553, Thomas Watson B.D. (though absent) was elected
5 master, and admitted (in the person of Ohrbtopher Brown
his prosy) by John Young vice-chancellor, then fellow of
Trinity college, at his chamber there, Boger Ascham
M.A. being present as president of St John's, with several
other fellows of that society. The instrument' of his
lo admission is dated September 28, 1553, wherein he ia
said to be of the diocese of Durham, which cannot be
meant of his being dean there, for he was not dean of
Durham' till November 18 the same year.
His diocese ia likewise fixed by his admission as fellow,
15 for he was capellanua for Mr Ashton at the same time
with ChristopheraoD, Leaver and Langdail ; the two former
of these were of Lancashire, as Mj Langdale was of York,
BO that Mr Watson by hia propriety, which was then nicely
observed, must have been of Durham.
30 I hare often enquired after him, there is a very old
man of the name and family of Watson yet living in that
county; of Watson bishop of Chichester (his near kinsr
man) he gives a good account, that he was bom at Nun
Stainton in that county with other particulars; of out
as Thomas Watson he knows little more, than that he sup-
poses him to have brought the bishop's father thither,

133 ST johm's college.
when he was dean of Darham, and that both he and the
bishop were related to the Bockingham family, which is
confirmed by the arms they bore.
He was elected fellow in 1533, having commenced
A.6. the same yeai' with two other persons of equal 5
note, John Fonett and John Kees (for so he is wrote
upon the register), the worthy founder of Caius college.
He continued in the house most part of Henry the Eighth's
reign, held such offices as were then most valued, was
dean and college preacher several years, and commenced lo
B.D. an. 1543.
Where he lived or how in king Edward's time is not
80 very certain. He left his fellowship about the second
year of that reign, and though he is said to have sub-
scribed*, yet be always kept up an interest with bishop i j
Gardiner, that afterwards turned to good account. It is
plain from another instance that he was much in the con-
fidence of that party, which was likewise of some use to
him ; for an original of bishop Fisher's statutes being left
with him in trust, as he brought them along with him, so ao
it 18 probable they helped to bring him to tiie college.
Under him these statutes revived, fellows were chose
and bonds* were given in the usual manner to him as
master in pursuance of these statutes. There were like-
wise fellows for bishop Fisher, though it must be con- a,:^
feased they were never more than three in this reign*,
probably because the college had received no compensation .
for the loss of his furniture seized by the crown and never
made good by the queen, though she had been applied to
and addressed to that purpose ; wherein she was wanting 30
to the memory of a &tthful servant, who in some sense
died her martyr.
His lectures etc were likewise placed to his account,
and three fellows the first year were allowed for trentals,

for greater reoaona we cannot wish.
5 Dr Watson's prefecture here was veiy short, for he
went off within the year, having been promoted to the
deanery of Durham, a very good preferment, had it not
been his misfortune to succeed upon a bad title -to Mr Horn
at Durham, as he did Mr Leaver here, both of them his
lo old friends and both of them fellows of the same house.
He was a man of polite learning, well skilled in poetry
and oratory and so nice in his compositions, that having
composed a tragedy entitled Absalom' approved by the
severest critics in the university, yet he would never suffer
15 it to be published, only because in loots paribus an ana-
psesttta was twice or thrice used instead of an iambus. He
was not only learned himself, but an enconrager of that
sort of learning : Mr Ascham, who was about ^the same
standing in the college, usually ranks him with Cheek,
20 Smith and Bedmain, the three great restorers of that sort
of learning in the university, and styles him one of the
best scholars that college ever bred.
How he happens to be noted for his skill in school
divinity by bishop Burnet' and others, I do not know ; he
3j did not learn it in the college, nor was it very agreeable
with his other studies either of poetry or eloquence, and it
appears as little from what he has published, being only
sermons*. It is true, he was employed in some conferences
and disputations, but BO others were that were not much
30 read in school divinity.
He commenced D.D. in 1554', being then likewise
absent, was consecrated bishop of Lincoln 1557, the same

yeaf that he was employed with others in viaitiiig the
university by cardinal Pole, and was deprived an. 1559
for refusing the oath of supremacy, a thing the more
strange, because in several instruments that passed the
seals whilst he was master of the college the queen is 5
styled supreme head.
He is said to have threatened queen Elizabeth with
an excommunication ; if he did, he altered his temper or
opinion, for in 1570 being interrogated with Fecknam,
Cole and Harpstield, concerning the pope's hull of .ezcom- lo
munication then sent over against the queen*, his answers
(^yen under his hand) were very temperate and with due
regard to his allegiance to the queen. However it were,
he was usually under conSuement in the Fleet or Mar-
shalsea, And at last prisoner at Wisbech castle, where he 15
died and was buried in Wisbech church an. 1584, aged
sixty-six or sixty-seven, for at bishop Gardiner hia patron's
trial he was 33 or 34.
The same year' that he was confined' at Wisbech,
Dr Fulke was deputed by the bishop of Ely by order from lo
court to confer with him and Fecknam and the rest of the
prisoners, but either out of distrust of themselves or of their
cause, or out of some disdain of his youth, as Dr Fulk
says (though he were then above 42 years of age], or from
the little fruit they had seen of conferences in the begin- 25
ning of the queen's reign, they refused disputation, though
it was then offered. However the conference was printed
the next year in a stolen edition, for which the Dr was
obliged to make some apology.

GEOEGE BTJLLOCK; NINTH MASTER,
Adhitted Mat 12th as. 1554.
Dr Watson having Tesigned about the begiDniDg of
May, George Bnllock B.D, was elected hy a very una-
nimona con&ent, as is expressed in the inatniment of his
admission; and indeed X>r WatsoQ having made so great
5 a purge of fellows, it was not strange that the remaining
members should be all of a mind : though either all the
fellowships were not voided under him, or they were not
all filled up, for in the two first great elections under him
and Bullock there were two and thirty fellows chosen,
lo being about two parts of the three of the whole number.
Mr Bnllock was admitted master' May 12tb, 1554, by
the same vice-chancellor, viz. Dr John Young; and be-
cause this Dr Young, or Yonge {for so he writes himself),
who was so great an ornament to the college and univer-
13 sity, has been doubted of or mistaken for another man, I
will set that matter right in few words.
He was originally of St John's college, where he was
admitted fellow an. 1536*, was removed to Trinity upon
the foundation of that house, was there in king Edward's
33 time, when he so learnedly opposed Martin Bucer, and
was the most acute and able adversary that learned man
ever met with in the university: the account of his dispu-
tations, even as they are printed in Bucer's works', give a
sufficient specimen of his abilities. Upon queen Mary's

meat, he was imraediatelj chose vice-chaacellor (though
then a private fellow) for his activity and great services
he had done the popish party in his disputations, and was
master of Pembroke hall trhen Mr Bullock was admitted
master of this house. Bishop Wren' aeeins to have mis- 5
taken the time both of lua being master and vice-chancellor,
as others have done ' that have said anything of the man.
1 could give a much larger account of him, were it not too
large a digression.
As to Mr Bullock, little was done in his time by his 10
ordinary power; Gardiner, who was chancellor, interposed
too much, the frequency of mandates was complained of in
this reign, with the decay of learning, and the men of
power were so much guided and influenced by a blind
religion, that the ends of learning were less regarded. 13
After Gardiner's death cardinal Pole being chosen chui-
cellor (which choice he accepted after four months' delibe-
ration' April 1, 1556), though he were of a disposition very
different from that of Gardiner, yet being under the jealou-
sies of the pope, this did oblige him to pursue Gardiner's so
methods and to use some severities very disagreeable to
the sweetness of his temper. lie had accepted of this pre-
ferment with great unwillingness ; being importuned to it,
he could use se^rities with a better grace, and they that
chose him had less reason to complain. 35
But though he were chancellor, yet he acted with a
higher power and under a higher character. He appointed
a visitation* by his legatine authority January 1556-7,
wherein men of noted severity being appointed delegates,
there was no lenity to be expected from them, though I do 30
not meet with any great severities in St John's college,
the visitation having been chiefly general ; and two of the
visitors*, Watson and Christopherson, having been mem-

bers of the society, it may be presumed to have met with
all reasonable favour.
It waa not for the honour of the master of the college
(though possibly for the advantage of the society] that in
5 that most ridiculous, if not inhuman part of the visitation,
where Bucet'a body was to be tried and condemned and
burnt for heresy, he appeared as an evidence gainst the
body. For though having been in office, viz. proctot*
an. 1550, when Bucer acted as professor here at Cambridge,
10 he was a very proper person to depose to such heresies as
were committed in the chair, yet that ought to have put
him in mind of the lenity of the former reign, when he and
his associates were not only tolerated in the univeraity, but
were likewise suffered to act in posts of trust and honour.
15 An account of this visitation having been printed in Bucer's
works', and there being a MS. English account of it in
Bcnet college library, as it was taken by John Meres,
(from whence the Latin account has been partly borrowed),
I need say the less of this matter.
20 As this visitation was held by the pope's or cardinal's
authority, so there was another visitation' by that of the
bishop of Ely, which though it happened two years before,
yet I mention it here, as having been of a more private
nature and less solemn, and seems to have had no other
25 intention than to assert the bishop's authority according to
the foundress' statutes and the original institution, upon
which foot this visitation was held, and was the last that
was ever held upon this foot.
The truth of it is, this master's government waa almost
30 under continual visitations (for that of the cardinal was
continued by adjournments], and after he had spent four or
five years in unquiet times under great uneasiness, he waa
at last obliged to quit his mastership by a visitation under
queen Elizabeth of a different nature from them both. To
35 add affliction to bis sufferings, the January* before I find
him languishing under a fit of sickness, when a grace

passed the house to dispense with his exercise as doctor
till the next year. The ejected fellows began to return
upon him, which much disquieted him ; however he kept
his ground till the visitation, and after his ejectment he
with the fellows that suffered with him were civilly enter- 5
tained' by the college, a respect that had not been shewn
by these men, when it was in their power to shew such
favours as they had now occasion for.
It is prolwble he and Yonng and some others might
have been won, had it been endeavoured, bat either the 10
severities under the last reign had set the government
against them, or their conduct under king Edward had
made them be thought less worth the gaining. It is a hard
account Dr Bullock's successor' gives of these men in
king Henry's and king Edward's time — alt the time of 15
blessed hinge Edwarde they taught, they preached, they
subscribed, they sware and beleued all thys, that they now
d^ny. As oft as they had anye liuinge in anye College of
the vniveraities, as oji as they tooJce degree in the scholea,
as oft as they tooke any benefice, and whan they were made ao
Priests or Byshoppes, so ofte they sweare andjhrsweare aU
that nowe they denye. And Indeed, had they come in npon
these principles, they were not worth the having. But I
have a better opinion of some of them than bishop Filking-
ton's charity will allow them, who, having been exasperated 25
by his sufferings or whetted with zeal, instead of fiiir treat-
ment can hardly afford them decent language, as any one
will allow that reads his book.
From Cambridge Br Bullock crossed the seas, and
after some removes at last fixed at Antwerp, where he 30
composed a large concordance printed* at Antwerp
an. 1572, and where after twenty years spent in devotion
and study' he died about the year 1580, and was buried
in the monastery of St Michael there ; having left behin
him amongst his own party the character of a pious and 35
learned man ; a character which I find no reason to coQtra-

That writer, who in the conclusion of the large catalogue of
hia own works sajs he had wrote* /«!c(ta« acjocos sine certo

delight in such sort of wit may consult the aathor, where
they will find three masters facetionsly described in three
distichs nnder the emblem of so many animals. But
Dr Bullock, or the bull, is principally aimed at.
lo He was chose fellow of this college an. 29 Hen. S^.
George Day an encourager of learning being then master ;
he was proctor of the university' an, 1649 and 1550,
and commenced D.D. an. 1557. Pits says he was regins
professor; that is a mistake, but he was Margaret pro-
15 fessor (though he has not yet been entered in that catai-
logne) for which he received* the osaal stipend the last
year of this reign. He succeeded Dr Sedgwick in that
preferment, who has also been ranked amongst the re^us
professors, which I shall not contradict, though it is very
30 certain that he likewise was Margaret professor' in this
reign. What preferments Dr Bullock had besides is to
me unknown, except a prebend of Durham, to which he
was presented by queen Mary the true* and undoubted
patroTtesa thereof Maii 9 an. 1554.
»5 He and Young seem to have been bom and bred under
the same stars and influences, they were admitted scholars
and elected fellows and masters about the same year, and
as both of them came in upon a deprivation, so they were
both of them deprived under queen Elizabeth, though under
30 king Edward they had complied. As they run a parallel
in their lives, so they died about the same time, the one in
imprisonment, the other in exile.

JAMES PILKINTON' TENTH MASTER,
ADUiiTEt) Jci. 20th, 16d9.
We are now come to a new state of things and a period
very diflferent from the laat. Upon queen Mary's death
the old frame was irrecoveratly overtamed, biahop Fisher's
statates were again abrogated and the king's statutes te-
Tived and came in force. Whilst Dr Bnllock held his post 5
in college in the new reign, things were in some confusion,
and there seems to have been a miztm^ of the old and new
constitutioD, according as parties or intereata declined or
prevailed; after the visitation came on, all matters were
soon adjusted, lo
A citation* was issued out for this visitation June 21
an. reg. 1°, by William Cecil and Anthony Coke knights,
Matthew Parker and William Bill D.D., Walter Haddon
and William Maye LL.D., Thomas Wendey M.D., and
Robert Home and James Pilkington S.T.P., her majes^'s 15
commisBionen to that purpose, whereby the day was fixed
on the 7th of July following. All ordinary jurisdiction,
all elections and other business was inhibited, so that James
Pilkington having been admitted master July 20th, 1559,
it must have been done by the act or with the consent of 30
the visitors, and having been one of the visitors himself
and so well and duly qualified for the mastership, it was
no hard thing to make him master.

At this visitation, aa several regnlations were made in
particular colleges, so there were statutes given to the ani-
veraity, which continued in force till the jear 1570 Sept. 24,
when they were altered and enlarged into the form they
5 now stand in : and such regard was had to tlie master in
the visitation, whowaa one of their number, that the elec-
tions were left to him ; for the same month, after the visi-
tation was over, he held an election by permission of the
visitors', and Bicfaard Longworth the master's countiyman
lo was one of the first fellows that was chose.
This Mr Pilkinton was then only B.D., for ao he is
styled' in several public instmments, and yet in other in-
stmments being styled S. Th. professor, either a bachelor'
of divinity was capable of that title, or he was a professor
15 of divinity in the onirersity. And so, I suppose, he was,
for though he has not a place amongst our professors, yet
in his epitaph he is styled in academia S. T, projesaor
diaertieaimia, and in Bncer'a Scripta Anglicaua' he is said
to be tn theoloffia professor regtus.
ao He was very well qualified for that employment, for
besides that he bore a part in the disputation at the visita-
tion at Cambridge under king Edward, whilst Bncer was
at Cambridge, he did volnntariiy read in public upon the
Acta of the Apostles, wherein by the testimony of that
25 learned man* he acquitted himself both learnedly and
piously: and Toung Iiimself, who does not agree with
Bucer in many things, yet falls in with him in his testi-
mony of Filkington's Icaiming, who was then president of
the coUege and commenced B.D. an. 1551*. It does not
30 appear to me, nor are there any traces of it upon our public
register, that he was ever doctor of divinity; for though
in one of Joscelin's catalogues in the British Antiquities
he has the title of Th. D., yet in the other catalogue, re-
printed in the second edition of that work, he is degraded

to bachelor of divinity, a correction that would not easily
have been made without a reason. And to speak thetmth, .
there seems to have been too much of ceremony in this
degree to have been agreeable to our learned professor after
his return from exile, where he was a companion and of 5
the same congregation with John Bale, who never cared to
return to his bishopric, though he retomed to England, no
more than bishop Coverdale' would do, who was out of
love with the habits, as appeared very plainly at the con-
secration of archbishop Parker. ^°
It can never be forgot that it was under this master
and his brother that Thomas Cartwright, William Fnlke,
Percival Wibum, Leaver the younger, etc. sprung up, who
were all fellows under them and infected the college with
an almost incurable disaflection, and laid the seeds of our 13
succeeding divisions. If his letter' to the earl of Leices-
ter, wrote after he was bishop of Durham, were really his,
a man would have as hard an opinion of him, as he seems
there to have of the ceremonies: or if the letter to the bre-
thren published in the Register' under his name, were of 20
his composing, where the habits or vestments are styled
popish rags, and the roundness of a man's head is made an
objection to the squaring of his cap, one would yet have
Larder thoughts ot him ; but as the former letter has been
quoted by the puritans, so I have always suspected that 2$
the Register was published by the papists, though it con-
tains a collection of puritanical pamphlets, and therefore
I am alow in believing every thing that is heaped up in
that collection. It is plain the print is foreign, and the
design looks as if it were contrived by an enemy; and yet 30
so far we may suppose the charge to be true, that he was
a favourer of the parly, otherwise there could be no ground
or pretence to fasten such letters upon him.
There is one thing said of him in the British Anti-
quities, which I do not veiy well understand ; in Joscelin's 35
Catalogue, of both editions, the degree or order of the
several bishops is put down, and all of them are said to

have been presbyters, either secular or regnlat, only PII-
kington (and with him Bullingham) ia said to be, mtn.
aeeu., which unless it means a minister', I do not know
what to make of it. He was a friend of Bale and Bul-
5 linger*, and that possibly may explain some particulars of
his life and conduct.
He continued mastw \iae after be was bishop of Dur-
ham seven or eight montlis. What he did in that see is
foreign to my purpose; he died at his castle at Auckland
lo Jan. 23, 1575, aged 55 years, and was buried in the
cathedral clmrch of Durham the 24th of May following,
after he had sat in that see fourteen years, ten m<mths and
twenty-three days. Robert Swift, his chancellor at Dur^
ham and scholar in the college, gave bim a monument
15 with an epitaph yet extant.
He left several books to the college libraiy in number
forty-five, a catalogue whereof is at the end of Vatablus'
Bible, and if we may guess at bis studies from his books,
he was most versed in our modem Protestant divines, such
30 as Muscnlus, Brentius, Bucer, Bullinger, etc. Other books
he gave to the public library' an. 1574 in number only
twenty, but to do him right, they were much the more
valuable collection.
Books of his own composing were, A Commentary
35 upon Aggeua and Abdias, Lond. 1562, After his death
came out an Exposition* upon certain chapters of Nehe-
miah, with a preface by John Fox* and an appendix by
Rob. Some D.D., two men of known inclinations. John

has likewise published a tract of the causes of the burning'
of Paul's church, etc.; but had he outlived the plumber
that bwrnt that church hj hifl carelessness, he would have S
known the true cause bj the poor man's own confession.
Papist and Protestant had been charging that judgement
upon one another, and did not know it was the effect of
accident. I can never torn that book without thinking

There is likewise printed amongst Bucer's Scripta Angli-

and Fagius. Of the two letters which have been charged 20
upon him I have spoke already.
Such were his works of learning. His work of charity
■was a school founded* at Eivington in Lancaehire, the
scat of his family, and so far he left the patronage to the
college, that the governors should present* two to the 25
society, honest men and good scholars — that have profited
well in logic and philosophy and in the knowledge of the
Greek and Latin tongues — such as love pure religion and
be haters of popery and superstition — out of whom the

LEONARD PILKINTON" ELEVENTH MASTER,
Adutted Ocroa 19, 1561.
The bishop of Dnrham being settled in his prefenneot,
and a sure interest formed to bring in hia brother, resigned
his mastership about the beginning of October, and his
brother Leonard Pilkinton sncceeded him Octob. 19, 1561 '.
He coold not be master sooner, for he was not bachelor of 5
divinity when hia brother was consecrated bishop of Dur-
ham; taking his degree this year', he had then all the
qnalificationa required by statute, and it was probably for
this reason that the bishop held his mastership so long,
and in point of decency some time longer than perhaps was i o
necessary.
This Leonard Pilkinton who now succeeded master
bad been twice fellow of the college ; for be was first
admitted fellow* March 24th an. 36 Hen. 6". and after-
wards being ejected under queen Mary and having married 15
a wife in exile, he subscribes thus the second time': Ego
Leotuirdua FiUnngtonua a morts uxorta mece restitutuf
eram aoctus senior et ooneionator hu)us coUegii per regios
vtHtatorea Dec, 27 an. 1559. His brother could have
chose him fellow, but he made use of the visitor's power 20
to entitle him to his standing and other privileges which
conld not otherwise be had. These, it seems, were that of
senior fellow and college preacher, to which being restored,
he had before enjoyed them; as appears otherwise &om the
books, where, though a very young man, yet he is admitted 2 5

senioi fellow' in 1551, and college preacher the year fol-
lowing, being then only deacon, as bia brotber tbe biqbop
had been when admitted to that trust or charge in college.
But that which was most imreaBonable in the thing
5 was this, that he and his brother were senior fellows at the
same time, and that he continued senior whilst his brother
was master, a thing liable to such inconveniences as might
probably occasion it to be otherwise provided for in the
new statutes. For it was at this time that the college
lo favour ran too much towards one quarter, when we had a
set of Lancashire masters, four of them (the two intruders
being excepted) immediately succeeding one another, when
Kalpli Leaver the master's countryman had the lease' of
Basingbum, though he were then fellow of the college, and
15 when Lancashire stuff was so much in fashion, that for
some years after some of the college utensils were brot^ht
from Lancashire.
These were lit^e things; the principal care of these two
brothers was employed in rooting out the Buperstition of
30 the last reign': the altar in the chapel was pnlled down,
as were those in the other private chapels; particularly
bishop Fisher's and Mr Ashton's chapels were reformed,
which was so far well, but then Mr Ashton's chapel should
not have been converted to profane uses*, nor should the
as upper part of bishop Fisher's chapel have been turned into
a room or apartment for the advantage of the master : not
should the chapel of the old house have been turned into a
stable for the master's horses, nor the east part of it into a
store-house for the college. For though bishop Fisher in
30 his statutes had allowed the master room for his stable

within the precincts of the college, yet lie did not mean
that the old chapel Bhoold be the plaee, there being then
room enongh where the hospital staUes had stood, in the
old buildings near the river.
It was likewise very well that the missals and brevia- 5
ries were turned ont of chapel, but then so many Geneva
psalters should not have been brought in their stead, as
stand yet charged in great numbers upon the college books :
we had an excellent liturgy of oar own, nor was there any
need, when we left Bome, of running to Geneva. In one 10
word, though the copes and some other ornaments might
have been sold, yet the chapel plate should have been re-
served for sacred uses, especially the gilt plate, that gave
the best price, would have been of most honour to Q<A
Almighty. And yet I do not qaestion the sincerity of these 15
men's intentions ; it is some argament of their sincerity
that they have avowed what they did, by leaving lasting
monuments upon the books.
Particularly our Ijeonord Pilkington was a zealous good
man, and so learned as to be thought fit to bear the charac- ao
ter of regins professor in the oniversity, a character he did
not sustain long, being either weary of the charge, or not
so equal to the business, or rather for another reason. For
if he surrendered that post, as has been generally supposed,
the same year^ that Mr Beaumont master of Trinity quitted 35
the lady M&i^aret's chair, we may imagine there was some-
what of the same reason at the bottom: Mr Beaumont,
who had been in exile in queen Mary's time, was noted for
his disaffection and the disorders and divisions he had oc-
casioned in that college, which could hardly be remedied 30
by his successor Dr Whitgifl.
But Mr Hutton, fellow of the same college*, having
succeeded Mr Beaumont as Maigaret professor this year,
can hardly be supposed to succeed Mr Pilkington as reg^us
professor the same year, for he succeeded both of them, and 35
therefore I should rather place Pilkington's recess some-
what later. And were a man left to reason npon it, he
would suppose him not to have parted with his professor-

sliip wliilat he held his niasterahip, for the same reasona
will generally hold for both. He parted with bis master-
ship at a very remarkable jonctnre, some short time before
the queen's coming to Cambridge; for the queen came
5 hither in the beginning of Angost, and he qnitted his
mastership in the beginning of May. Her progress' had
been fixed and notified here by onr chancellor on the 12th
of July, who mentions it as a thing mnch known and spoke
of; so that, allowing it to be known some time sooner (as
lo such things are osnally spoke of long before they happen),
we need not be at a loss to find the tme reason of his going
ofi^, which I leave to every one to -gather from what has
been said. It is well known how the qaeen treated Dr
Humphreys at Oxford, and the laying aside two such pro-
15 fessora here as Pilkington and Beaomont, and bringing in
two such others as Hutton andWhitjpift (for Whitgifl* was
Margaret profeaeor this year), looks as if it were intended
to pave the way to her coming hither.
However, Pilkington had the degree of doctor conferred
90 on him this year, but it was done some time before, for he
was admitted with the vice-chancellor Dr Hawford, and in
a public instrument dated March the 4th he is a^led D.D.
This may be said to his honour, that as he was a college-
preacher, so he was likewise preacher for the university,
35 and was the first man that received' licence from the uni-
versity in this reign. And indeed preaching seems to have
been his chief talent, and if a character were to he given of
him, he seems rather to have been a good preacher than a
great divine.
30 A certain person* is much at a loss to know what be-
came of him after he left his mastership, and whether he
went off by death or cession. Bat had he consulted his
own books (for he was a bursar), he might have resolved
this doubt ; or he might have done it from the registers of
35 Durham, where the master's brother being l»shop, we may
very reasonably expect to find him. He was collated to a
prebend of Durham' August 1 an. 1567, where there can

be no mistake, for he is there styled Leonardus Pilkingtim
8.T.P. Jrater episcopi Dunelmensia, And many years
after this', an. 158^, he was at St John's, where he waa
twice entertained at the expense of the college, and where
one of his name, and I suppoae of his family, was ad- 5
mitted fellow the year before. Children he had, one of
them [yiz. Grace] was married to Bobert Hatton prebend-
ary of Dnrham.
He gave or left the college seventeen books, which not
coming in till the year 1594*, I suppose he died about that lo
year. These were much of the same stamp with those of
hia brother, or rather, of a lower form, such as Aretius,
Hyperius, Sadeel, etc., and shew wherein his reading lay
most, as well as what he was willing ahonld be read by
others. The encomium of the donor entered upon these '5
books is that of vir gramsstmm ; nothing is there said of
his learning, though such encomiums are usually pretty
large, and the character of learning would have cost the
college no more than that of gravity, had it been as true.
But that encomium was given him in Dr Whitaker's time, 20
when learning was at a much higher pitch, and when the
character of that great man had drowned tlie fame of hia
predecessors.
That he left the college in great disorder is too evident
ftom a letter of Dr Beaumont to archbishop Parker' dated as
the same year, where, after having given an account of the
good order the several other colleges were in, he owns that
St John's was in such disorder, that several would very
hardly be brought to wear a surplice-

RICHARD LONQEWORTH TWELFTH MASTER,
Adutted Mat 11th as. 1564.
At this juncture it was (of the qaeen'a progress) that
Bichard Longworth succeeded Dr Filkington, Maj 11th,
1564. The queen's coming was notified (as I said) to the
■ universitj the 12th of Joly hj a letter' firom Sir William
5 Cecill their chancellor, wherein he desired that care might
be taken aV)ut lodgings for her majesty, and what exer-
cises in learning were to be presented to her ; — that special
regard might be had to two things, order and learning,
and that both in religion and civil behaviour ; — as to him-
lo self, that he meant to lodge with his old nurse in St John's
college, and desired the vice-chancellor «to acquaint the
master Mr Longworth therewith ; where preparations were
accordingly made for his reception, but the queen was to
be received and the court was to be at King's college.
»g The chancellor came to Cambridge on the 4th of Au-
gust (the day before the queen made her entrance) in a
conch or litter, having a sore leg, accompanied with hia
lady, a person noted for her learning and therefore more
acceptable to the queen and the university*. The heads
30 offered to liave gone out to him, but he was either so mo-
dest or BO wise as to refuse such public honours, which
with greater wisdom were reserved for the queen. He
came privately to St John's college in the afternoon, where
he was received at the gate by the master and the socie^,
35 and Mr Curtice, theu senior proctor and aflerwards bishop

Io8 ST JOHN'S COLLEGE.
of Chichester, made him an eloquent oradon, wherein, as
he complimented the chancellor very handsomely, bo the
learning and piety of his lady were not forgot. After that,
being presented by Mr Lewknore another of the fellows
with a gratulatory poem, he was conducted to his apart- S
ment in the master's lodgings : where he sent for the vicft-
chancellor and the heads, to whom he repeated his former
instructions, requiring that order should he diligently kept
of all sorts, and that uniformity should be shewed in appa-
rel and religion, and especially in the setting of the commu- lo
nion tahle, etc. which implied that there had been some
want or neglect in these particulars.
The queen made her entrance on the 5th of August by
Queens' college, where a large gate was hung cross the
street Jrom that college to the opposite house (now the 15
printing-house) guarded by tbe queen's servants ; the two
lanes near King's college were likewise barred op and
guarded to keep out the crowd. All the passage from
Queens' college to the west end of King's college chapel
was lined with scholars; the doctors stood nearest the ao
chapel, the vice-chancellor with the senior doctor and
orator upon the lowest step. Within the chapel (the inner
part whereof was hung with tapestry and arras of the
queen's) were thfe provost with his fellows in their copes,
making a lane where she was to pass towards the choir. 33
Her majesty entered the town on horseback in a gown
of black velvet pinked, a caul upon her head set with
pearls and precious stones, with a hat spanged with gold
and a bush of feathers, attended by Garter king at arms
with the other great oflBcers of the crown, with other lords 30
and ladies very numerous, the chancellor riding near her,
describing the order and degree and quality of the scholars ;
and as she passed, the scholars loudly proclaimed Vivat
Regina, to which she often replied Chatias ago.
As soon as ehe came to the west end of the chapel, 35
every one alighted from their horses, except the queen, and
there the chancellor delivered up the staves, and the public
orator Mr Master kneeling down made an oration', where-

in whilst he enlarged npon het majesty's praises, she often
shook her head and bit her lips, and sometimes broke uut
in these expressions, non e»t venttu and vtinam; but when
he praised virginity, she comtoended the orator and bid
5 him continue there. Id conclusion she gave him a just
encomium, particularly admiring his memory, as be well
deserved that could go on half an hour without pause or
hesitating, whilst the queen's horse was cturretting under
her, and she herself making remarks upon the different
lo periods of his speech. Then she alighted and advanced
towards the chapel under a rich canopy supported by four
of the principal doctors, when after Te Deum begun by
the provost and song with the organ, and after evening
song solemnly had, etc. she departed to her lodging, aa
15 she went thanJang God that had sent her to this univeraity,
where she was ao received, aa eke thovght she could not be
better.
The next day being Sunday, Dr Feme in his cope
preached a Latin sermon before her majesty in King's
'° chapel upon this text, Omnia anima avhdita sit, etc./
aboat the midst of his sermon, she sent the lord Hunsden
to will him to pnt on his cap, which he did unto the end,
and after the sermon was over, ere he could get out of the
pulpit, she signified to him by the lord chamberl&in, that it
35 v>aa the Jirat that ever ahe heard in Latin, and ahe thought
ahe never should hear a better.
In the evening she heard prayers again in the chape),
and this day had been well spent, had not the conclnsicfn
been very different from the rest of the day. For the same
30 day late and in the same place one of Flautus' comedies
(his Aulularia) was acted before her by torches upon a
stage erected in the chapel to that purpose, which she
stayed out, though it held in acting till twelve o'clock at
night. And yet this, which was innocent in queen Eliza-
33 beth, when it came to be acted over again in a succeeding
reign in a more inoffeneivB manner, was looked upon as so
profane and scandalons as to alarm the nation.
It would be very tedious to give a narrative of the pro-
ceedings of the following days and of the several acts and
40 disputations held before her majesty. It was philosophy

and divini^ ihat she attended to most, and was best
pleased with these perfonnances. Mr Bing the respondent
in philosophy acquitted himself well, and it was then ob-
served* that as Mr Cartwright one of his opponents ex-
pressed more heat, so Mr Preston shewed better manners, 5
whom the qneen took particular notice of and dubbed him
her scholar. But no man acquitted himself so well as Mr
Hutton the respondent in divinity, to the satisfaction and
admiration of all his auditors, and it was to that day that
he owed his future preferments. The queen favoured him lo
in her looks, her words and actions, and though Dr Feme
one of his opponents disputed upon him very warmly
and very learnedly, yet he, that had given, such content
whilst he preached upon Omnia anima, etc., lost himself
in the opinion of the queen for having toacbed too fireely 13
upon the power of excommauicating princes, though it
were only by way of argument : so nice a thing it is to
approach majesty upon any pretence or at any distance;
especially where majesty is at its full height, as it
then was I • 20
For however it may have been since, it was then in
this manner her majes^ was received in our congrega-
tions or assemblies. At her entrance all men were upon
the knee, nor did any one presume to rise till leave was
given, and after they were up, no one presumed to sit 25
till leave was g^ven the second time by an express allow-
ance. The greatest peer, the duke of Norfolk, and the
greatest favourite, Robert Dudley, addressed her majesty
upon the knee, as they then did, when they desired her
to dismiss the university with an oration. 30
I pass over private colleges, all which her majesty
visited in one morning (except Magdalene and Jesns),
there being little done at these houses except orations
or verses, either spoke or delivered in. Amongst the
rest she visited St John's college and rode into the hall, 35
where she was received with an oration by Mr Bohun ;
wherein, though she was put in mind of her relation to
the foondress and intimation given of the college losses.

ID a manner that was to be -rery nicely handleid, yet,
I anppOBe, the queen did not tKink herself bonnd to take
notice of these losses, vhich with more reason should
have been done by her sister. And this, L believe, was
5 the last time that the society ever offered at a reparation,
and what was now done was nndonbtedly by intimation
from their chancellor, who had been a member of the
college.
Verses were likewise bong ronnd the conrt upon the
lo occasion, and Mr Lewknore a blooming wit presented the
queen with a gratulatory poem : and that nothing might
be wanting to engage her faronr, the lord Kobert (as he is
there styled) her great favourite, had been invited before to
the college by the chancellor and received with an oration
15 spoken by ]y^ Becon afterwards public orator, being more
than was done for the earls of Oxford and Rutland, though
both of .them lodged at the college with the chancellor.
This is the sum of what passed here on this great occa-
uon, in all which Mr Curteis did the college most honour,
30 and thereby gained such reputation as laid the grounds
of his rising fortunes. The master was then a very yonng
man, and not having attained to the degree of doctor of
dtvini^, could hare no share in the public exercise: bnt
though he had no opportunities of shewing his learning,
as yet in these proceedings he has the character given him
of a pious, prudent man, a fit character for a governor.
He appears to have been a man of business and a
noted preacher, a thing much valued in those days; he
was chose college preacher an. 1561, and the same year
30 preacher for the university. He commenced D.D. in the
year 1367, and the year after was vicechancellor ; when
be cautioned for his exercise' propter mvlta et magna
turn publica turn privata negoHa, which caution he for-
feited, and went ofif from his mastership the year follow-
35 ing. What these great affairs were I cannot say, but
he had good preferments, being prebendary of Worcester',

to a prebend of Durham* then void by the deprivation
of Thomas Xjeaver; which last preferment he resigned
and was succeeded therein by Francis Bunny Mali 9
an. 1572.
Nor can I say anything of his principles, fiirther than 5
that the GeneTa psalters were continued in his time, that
paxes and other stufiF was sold out of the vestry, and
one cope to Dr Pilkington, which I dare say he never
wore. In his time likewise the university cross was sold,
which having been purchased by contributions from the 10
several colleges, each college received back their due pro-
portion, and St John's college had its share*. This was
done onder Dr Beatmiont's vice-chancellorship, when the
nniversi^ copes and vestments of silk and velvet, the
surplice, the altar-cloths, mass and dirige book, the 15
chalice with the patine, etc. were likewise sold*.
The reasons why he left the college do not evidently
■appear* (for he survived his maatership) ; his great and
arduous affairs, before spoken of, might call him some-
where else ; this is certain, he had reason to be weary, ao
the college being then in great disorder ; Mr Cartwright
now of Trinity had infected his friends of St John's col-
lege, particularly Mr Fulke, and it was under this master
that I should suspect Fulk was expelled the college for
his disaffection to the church's discipline (for he was chose 25
fellow' an, 1564, and afterwards chose the second time
an. 1567), were it not that the master's inclinittions seem
to have lain against it, and that bishop Wren* says this
happened after Fulk was bachelor of divinity. Fulke
took his degree of B.D. an. 1568, the same year with 30
Nich. Shepheard who succeeded Dr Longeworth; and
having commenced the same year, they might seem to
have had the same views. Fulk going off witiiin the year

that Shepheard was admitted master, his expulsion most
have happened at that time, when there being likewiss
a risitation of the college hj the bishop of EI7, the
visitor's power might be taken in. In 1569' I find his
5 bofiinesa in agitation before the chancellor, which probablj
determined in a visitation. And might there not be some-
what of discontent at the bottom, which sometimes steals
in insensibly upon good men, that whilst Mr Fulke was
xinqnestionably the much greater man, yet Mr Shepheard
10 was preferred? For see whither men maj be transported
hj their passions ! Mr Fulk, being expelled the college,
erects an academy in the town at the Falcon inn and
there reads lectures to his pupils: in one thing more
happy than his friend Mr Cartwright, that he was either
15 soon brought off or came to a better temper ; for in 1572
Mail 25' I find him admitted doctor in a very honour-
able manner, being presented (in the queen's chapel at
her palace of St James) by Dr Wm. Latimer to the bishop
of Rochester Dr Freak, and admitted by him to the degree
ao of doctor of divinity, and his admission signified by letters
from that bishop to the university.
Dr Longeworth died an. 1579, which year his deanery
of Chester, a prebend of Worcester and his rectory of Cock-
field became void by his death. In the last he was suc-
25 ceeded by Jo. Knewstub B.D., who, as he was fellow of
the same college, ao was of the same persuasion with the
master.

NICHOLAS SHEPHERD' THIRTEENTH MASTER,
Adiottxd Dscbhbbr 17 ah. 1S69.
NOTWiTHSrANDiNQ Dr Fulk's great wortli that aftep-
waids brought him to the mastership of Pembroke hall,
Kicholss Shepherd B.D. succeeded as master here Deoem.
17 an. 1569'; He was bom in Westmoreland, originallj
fellow of St John's college, but was now vice-master ofS
Trinity, where he had served as proctor in the college
course. What good fortune brought him hither ia to me
uncertain, only having come in over Dr Fulke and against
such a preponderancy of merit, it is probable he had better
principles to recommend him*: and yet even these might lo
be suspected from his having been bronght into Trinity
about the same time with Mr Cartwright under Dr Beau-
mont, did not some respects shewn him afterwards by Dr
Whitgift speak in his favour.
'Whatever he was, there was now great need of men of '5
principles, a design being formed of regulating and reform-
ing the growing disorders of the univetsity, to which pur-
pose amongst others a new body of statutes was given an.
1570. And these statutes having been drawn up by the
advice* of Dr Whitgift and others of the leading heads ao
under the direction of the chancellor, a great power was
thereby lodged in the heads, and the power of the body,
particularly of the regents who had formerly a large share
in the government, was now much abridged and limited.
Most of the confessors, who had gained such a reputar 35
tion by their sofferings as not to be touched, were now
gone off or dead. Mr Cartwright the head of the remain-

iiig party, who had got into the lady Margaret's chair* and
had there impugned the disciplme and government of the
church, waB now called upon to answer for his opinions,
and being unwilling to retract them, having been before
5 censured hy Dr May by substraction of his stipend, being
admonished the second time and persisting in his refhsal,
he was deprived of his lecture by Dr Whitgift vice-chan-
cellor with the consent of his assessors, and prohibited to
preach any more in the tmiversity; and Dr Still a very
lo active man was brought into that lecture, and the like care
was taken in other particulars.
There can hardly be a clearer argument of the great
disorder the university was then in, than &om the object
tions that were made to these new statutes in a petition or
15 remonstrance' presented to the chancellor, signed by a great
many hands, especially of the regents. It might hare been
expected that the great power given the heads in nominat-
ing two to the university's choice and their negative in all
grants and elections in private colleges should be made an
no objection ; but that^ Aoii'te and vestments should bethought
to cmaitenance popery, or that the liberty of the gospel should
seem to be restrained by these statutes, when men cannot speak
openly against the religion received or the communioor^mdk,
or against any office, degree, state or dignity within the realm
"5 by ea^pressing the name or person that doth offend', this in-
deed is very sorprising; and yet so it was, and this petition
and th.ese objections, signed by the hands of such men as
Richard Fletcher, Humphrey Tyndall, Sichard Cosin, Ro-
bert Bennet, Osmund Lake, Edmund Barwell, Godfrey
30 Qoldishurgh, John Hanson, Richard Bancrofte and many
others, afterwards men of considerable note and character
in the church; particularly Mr Beacon of St John's college,
then public orator and proctor, was an active leading man,
whereby he incurred the displeasure of the chancellor, for-
35 merly his patron and great admirer. Notwithstanding
which opposition, these objections being answered by those
heads that had compiled the statutes, and the objections
and answers heing referred to the archbishops of Canter*

bnry and York and the bishops of London and Ely, they
irere of opinion that the statutes as drawn might stand, and
no great canae to make any alteration, and blamed the
younger men for seeking their pretended reformation by
disordered means; and a letter* was sent down &om the $
chancellor to that purpose.
That Nicholas Shepherd was one of the leading beads
in thie matter I cannot say, bis name does not appear in
that proceeding; nor does be appear to have had a hand in
tbe censure of Mr Cartwright, who having been fellow with lo
him in two several colleges, in point of decency he might
keep away. But it is probable be was brought in with
regard to the present joncture and to second the designs
then on foot, wherein how he performed or what he was
able to perform in a distempered society I am not able to ^5
determine, there having been less said of this master than
of any other since the foundation of the college. This I
can only say, that the G-eneva psalters were discontinued
in his time, and the bishops' bible' introduced as soon as
it was printed an. 1572. As to any other further opinion zo
of him, he seems not to have been a man of great abilities,
and from his never having been vice-chancellor, nor having
commenced doctor when by his standing he might have
done it, he seems not to have been much considered in the
university. 35
There is a tradition in the college* very disadvantageous
to our master's character, that having got the keys of tbe
several ofBcers into bis bands, he put the seal to some
grants or leases for bis own emolument, whereupon be was
expelled the college. I am unwilling to credit this account, 3°
but from a visitation held by the bishop of Ely in Mr
Shepherd's last year, as well as 'frvm a grant signed by
him and all the fellows in the same j'^ar, it seems there
"was some disorder in the college, and that more than usual
care was made use of to prevent it. 35
He was archdeacon of Northampton, to which dignity
be was admitted about tbe year 1571*, and one Nicholas

Shepheard, D.D. (aa eas^ mistake for B.D.) having been
a prebendaiy in the same charch, viz. of Feterborongh,
aboat the aame time, it ia probable he might be the same
man, though Mr Gunton'a' eccomit makes it doubtfol.
5 Higher preferment, I suppose, he never attained to, especi-
aU;- if he left the college in so disgraceful a manner.
In the college he was admitted scholar for Sir Manna-
dnke Constable bj the king's visitors Jnly 4 an. 1549, was
chose fellow an. 1553 and ejected the same year, and
10 therefore did not commence M,A, till the first year of queen '
Elizabeth, and was then one of the first preachers' that
was sent out for the university in that reign. That he or
Bichard Longworth were in exile is more than I know,
though Dr M. says it of the latter. Bat if Mr LongVorth
^5 were one of that number, he does not appear in either*
catalogue of these confessors, though the Leavers, the Fil-
kingtons, etc. are ranked in that list. The tmth of it is,
he does not seem to have stirred beyond the walls of the
house; for one of his name commences M.A. in queen Mary's
20 reign*, and the same Mr Longworth commences B.D. an.
1563, which he could not have done, had he not been
master under queen Mary,
It may be said to Mr Shepperd's honour that he prefer-
red men of learning, as appeiured in his first choice of Hugh
25 Broughton* the famous Hebrician, by his next election of
Andrew Downea the noted Grecian, and after them of Kve-

JOHN STILL FOtniTEEHTH MASTEB,
> JcLT 21 AX. 1674.
If Mr Shepherd were a slag, his ancceasor vill com-
pensate for his inactivity. This was John Still B.D. fellow
of Christ's college, Margaret preacher in the jexr 1570'
and Ma^^ret professor the year after, and elected master
of this college Jul, 14", 1574. In the instrument* of his 5
presentation to the vice-chancellor Dr Whitgift he is said
to have heen elected unanimi aaaemu et cotuejieu majoria
partia praaentiwm, that is in true English, he was not chose
tmantmonslj, having been chose only hj a majority of
those present, the rest being either absent or absenting lo
themselves.
It should seem somewhat was not right, as well from
the form of presentation as from the delay in his admission,
nsoally the same day; whereas his presentation is not
dated till two days after, nor was he admitted till a full ig
week after he was choseu master: unless this delay might
proceed from the absence of the vice-chancellor, for the pre-
sentation is directed to him or his deputy: in the vice-chan-
cellor himself there could be no stop, who must needs re-
joice in having a sure friend brought in and a firm assistant ao
in all bis proceedings.
However the election was made, it was certiunly a very
good one, and they that were concerned in it coold not-
have done better for the interest of the college. For this
Mr Still, as he was an active man, so he was of unshaken aj

afifection to the church, and iMmg a bitter eaem^ to the
noDCODfomufita both upon principle and interest (for he had
Bucceeded one Mr Aldiidge deprived of a prebend of Weat-
mioBter for nonconformity, as he had succeeded Mr Cart-
5 imght in the professorship here] seems to hare been raised
tip to root ont pnritanism in St John's college, as some of
his piedecesBors had been wholly employed in extirpating
popery; which he would have effectually done, had his
continoaQce been long enough amongst us. And this waa
lo the true reason of the opposition he met with (not any such
little pfoiialities as have been generally imagined) for the
which he was aspersed by the party, who having endea-
Tonred to gain him by coort and compliance, when he was
not to be won that way, turned upon him by reptoachea
15 and calumnies to his diuidvantage.
I will not deny but that there might be somewhat of
north and sonth in this division, and that the master might
favour the warmer clime, which was his own ; but it was
conformity and nonconformity that was at the bottom, iuid
30 the rest was chiefly noise and clamour. They that have
grounded the controversy upon this othet bottom have been
doubly mistaken, first in supposing queen Elizabeth's sta-
tutes to have been given under this master, and secondly
that it was these statutes that gave the mighty preference
35 to the south: whereas these statutes were not given till after
he left the college, and the diminution of the northern privi-
leges and the greater favour towards the sonth was brought
in by the statutes* of Henry the Eighth. North and south
were much the same as they were under that king, and the
30 great alteration that was made in these new statutes was
by ^ving greater power to the master etc in order to sup-
press the factions party. It was in the college as it had
been in the university, where the body by abusing their
privileges lost that liberty they had before enjoyed, and
35 occasioned the power to detei^ine in the heads ; and it
was faction and nonconformity that was the like occasion
in them both.
Notwithstanding these factions and the limitations this

master was under "by the statutes of Henty the Eighth, yet
he governed the college with coostanej and resolution and
with a steady hand, having prudence equal to his activity
and a reputation for learning that set him above the ca-
lumnies of his enemies. Six John Harrington' (who does 5
not use to compliment in his characters} says of him that
he was so great a dtspukr, that the leamed'at were even
affraid to dispute with him; and that finding his owme
strength he could not stick to warne them in their Arguments
to take heed to their answers ; and likewise says that when lo
the great Dyet or meeting should have beene in dermany
jbr composing matters in Meligion, Doctor Still was chosen
for Cambridge, and Doctor Humphrey ybr Oxford, to oppose
all commersjbr the defence of the English church, than which
nothing greater could be said. About the year 1581, when ifi
Campian's book was published and made such a noise at
its first appearing, and fit men were sought out by the
bishop of London', etc. to draw up an answer, Dr Still and
Dr Fulke were two of the first men that were thought of.
In the economics of the college he was frugal and pro- ao
vident and a good manager of the revenues of the house,
particularly the rent-corn, which in his time passed into
an act' in the 18th of queen Eliz., an. 1575. He put
that act into a course and method and improved it to the
best advantage. From a memorandum entered upon the ag
books I will just say enough to explain that act, of so
much advantage to the university and in a manner a second
additional endowment to every college.
Danthorpe in Holdemess was the first estate that was
thus rented out in com in this college, Novembr. 3 an. Eliz. 30
18, and this memorandum entered upon the book*: Me-
morand,: That the old rent of this lease was £3. 6s. 8d., the
which rent is now altered hy reason of a statute made an. 18
Eliz., by virtue whereof the third part of the rent at the least
ia to be paid in com, after the rate ofGs. 8d. for a quarter 35
of wheat and 5s. for a quarter of malt, as hy the said statute

more at large appears. The rent of Danthorpe aa then fixed
was £2. 4s. 2(f. in moneys, and three qnarters of wheat and
four bushels of malt in com, and the rent of that estate is
the veiy same in moneyB and com at this day, only so &r
5 improved as the price of com is now higher than when it
was sold at Ga. Sd, or 59. for a quarter of wheat or malt,
and is such an improvement aa usually makes the third
part more than the whole.
Of this he took care by seconding and advancing the
lo intention of the act, as he afterwards did at Trinity college
to that degree, as to have it entered nppn their' re^ster as
a part of his character. He was removed to that house
May 30th an. 1577' upon the promotion of Dr Whitgift
to the see of Worcester, and left St John's very reputably,
15 not carried oat in a chair, according to a foolish tradition,
which conld be no otherwise true than if it were made use
of to do him honour. It is enough to confute such a fable,
were it worth confuting, that he had the queen's letters for
that remove, which were a sufficient protection to guard
30 him firom affronts. How he acquitted himself in that new
charge is well known from their regiatcra, which are better
voudiers for his pmdence, integrity and learning than any
thing that I can say.
As to his other preferments, besides these two master-
25 ships which he enjoyed successively, he was rector of Had-
ley in Suffolk, where he hit upon Mr Bois then a young
scholar of pregnant parts and growing hopes, and brought
him hither to be a futare omament to the college, especially
in the Greek tongue, then so rarely known that for part of
30 Mr Bois' time there were only two' in college that onder-
stood it, Mr Downs and himself. And here, I suppose, it
was he hit upon a yet greater ornament of the house, John
Overall (bora* and bred in the town of Hadley), and brought
him with him to his own lodgings, and upon his removal
35 transplanted him to Trinity college, where he became fel-
low, and was elected regius professor an. 1595, being then
a very young man: for by an inscription he has left upon

Di Still was likewise archdeacon' of Sudhaiy in the
same county, which gave him a place in cbnTocation, wb»e
he appeared in the year 1588: preached the sermon ad cfo- 5
rum' at the opening thereof and was chose* prolocutor in
the same convocation, being recommended to the choice of
the lower house by archbishop Whitgift then his patron,
as he had fonnerly been his firiend. He was bom in Lin-
colnshire, as such was countryman to the archbishop, which lo
probably might be some ground or introdactdon to his
favour and Mendship.
He was promoted to the see of Bath and Wells an. 1592,
where he grew rich, purchased an estate and raised a family.

AsuTTED JvLT SOth AS. 1577. .
Although Dr Still went off May the SOth ', yet Richard
Howland B.I>. was not admitted master till Jaly the 20th
(a distance of time beyond the atatatable allowance, and
could not have been dispensed with, had not the college
5 been then in the hands of the queen's commisaioneis, who
dispensed in this and other particnlarB) ; and this Mr How-
land, a dependent of my lord Burleigh's the principal com-
missioner, was brought hither from the mastership of Mag-
dalene college: a preferment he conld not but be very wil-
10 Kng to part with, his predecessor' Dr Roger Kelke some
time fellow of St John's college having in a manner ruined
that foundation by an unreasonable grant of an estate in
St Botulph's parish without Aldgate to the qiieen, etc.,
which could never afterwards be retrieved.
15 There was one thing that made bis coming hither more
agreeable, that as he had succeeded a St John's man at
Magdalene college, so another of the fellows one Mr Henry
Copinger* was designed to succeed him there, and so it was
only an unequal exchange; and indeed very unequal to
30 Mr Copinger, for, though he came in there by the queen's

hiB mastership ; and by accepting that having parted with
his fellowship, to the which there waa no retom, was there-
by turoed out of all: a very hard fate npon so deserving
a man, and might with more justice have fallen upon 5
Dr Kelke.
There could not have been a fitter man than a master
of Magdalene for the designs - now on foot of giving new
statutes and enlarging the master's power, yet too much
limited to keep the college in tolerable order. This design lo
had been thought of in Dr Still's time, but was now under-
taken in earnest : I find* Dr Ithell master of Jesus and the
bishop of Ely's chancellor much employed in the design,
but he dying before it was effected, the affair on the college
part devolved much upon the present master, who solicited 1 5
it with much zeal, and meeting with an inclination in the
chancellor the lord Barghley, if there were any difficnltiee,
they were easily overcome by so powerful an assistance.
And to make them of more easy digestion, my lord Burgh-
ley gilded the bill by enlarging the commons of the scho- ao
lars of the foundation, as yet too small to afford a tolerable
subsistence, in a manner expressed in the body of the sta-
tutes, and towards this use gave an annual rent' of £30
payable for ever out of his estates in Northampton and
Hertfordshire, for the which he waa to be paid only in zfi
honours, by verses from the scholars and sermons from the
fellows at Stamford and Cheshnnt or Theobald's, since
altered for Hatfield and Quixwood, and these honours to
be perpetual to his family, as his benefaction was to be :
the nomination of two scholars of the foundation was like- 30
wise left to him and his family.
His lady the lady Mildred was also a benefactress ; and
about this time' Dr G&odman dean of Westminster, who
had been raised by this lord, founded two scholarships in
the college, and afterwards left the nomination to a younger 35
branch of this family ; and Sir Ambrose Cave's benefaction,
no less considerable, was determined to the college by the
same hand : besides many other favours by the interest of

this great lord both to the body ia common and to partica-
lar members of the college.
Id this disposition and under these obligations nothing
vaa to be refused to laj lord Burghley that he could reaaou-
5 ably desire, and he having thought it for the interest of
the society to have new statutes, they were thankfully to
be received, and to be numbered amongst his benefactions.
They were at least three years in forming and preparing';
the master had two or three journeys to London and Berk-
loabiie to attend the chancellor about them ; after they were
completely formed, they were sent down to the college an.
1580 by the queen's authority, signed by her commis-
sioners', William Burghley chancellor of the university,
Hich&rd Cox bishop of Ely, Andrew Feme master of Peter
15 house, Edward Hawford master of Christ's and Henry Her-
vey master of Trinity hall. Some little alterations were
afterwards made, but they were inconsiderable.
These being the statutes' now in force are in every one's
hands, and so well known as not to need to be explained.
9o Two alterations are pretty visible, that the master's power
is much enlarged and that of the visitor is equally limited :
there might be somewhat of the same reason for both, for
as the masters had formerly been able to do little without
having recourse to visitations, so it might reasonably be
35 supposed, that their power being now enlarged, the govern-
ment of the college would be more regular and ubiform,
and that tiiere would be less occasion for a visitor. And
yet it seems an odd part in the bishop of Ely to part with
such a share of his power, to which he was so fully and
30 variously entitled, and which, being one of the queen's
commissioners, could hardly be taken &om him without
hia consent.
In all the former statutes ihe bishop of Ely's power
had been always preserved pretty entire, at least in a just
35 height, even by Henry the Eighth's statutes ; he had not

only power of viaiting when called in, but once every three
years withoat a call. Whereas by these statutes be has no
power of visiting till called in, and that call is rendered so
difficult as to leave him little more than a shadow of power.
Privilegea are ench desirable things that they do not use to 5
be parted with without a reason ; I can see only two rea-
sons for this, expense to the college and trouble to the
bishop. The expenses on the college side were usually
high, for the bishop bad vastly exceeded his appointments,
and the good bishop had had so many uneasy journeys of 10
Iste from Ely to Oambridge, that he had reason to wish
there might be fewer occasions for his coming hither. There
was indeed one other reason, that the queen's power of
viaiting was then so constant that there was less need of a
bishop of Ely. rg
Without this the visitor's power (I mean his power
of coming in) is really too much limited, and in case of
grievances there is scarce any possibility left of redress.
For grievances (when any such are) will usually happen
from the governors of the socie^, the inferior members ao
being subject to their government and punishable for any
such irregolaritieB as tliey shall be guilty of; but if the
power of calling in the visitor be lodged in die same
hands, they will hardly call in a visitor to redress snch
grievances as have been occasioned by themselves. Ac- »6
cordingly ^ough it be now above a hundred years since
these statutes were given, yet I know only of one visita-
tion that has happened within the time, and that in a very
singular instance and in a manner forced ; where the mas-
ter and seniors being complained of at court, they were 30
forced by a desperate remedy to take shelter under their
visitor, to protect themselves from the complunts of the
juniors.
The year after these statutes were given*, the master,
in pursuance of a settlement made about the same time, 35
waited on my lord Burghley with the respects of the
society and to preach the first coarse at Stamford (ever
since continned by a fellow of the college), and made so

wherein he succeeded Dr Soambler, a man that will never

He was twice vice-chancellor of the university', which
15 shews him to have been a man of business. In his first
year, an, 1578, he had an occasion offered him of ad-
vancing himself; for the queen in her progress this year
having taken Walden in her way, a house belonging to
the second son of the late duke of Norfolk, the vice-
30 chancellor' with the heads and some of the body (by in-
timation from the chancellor) attended her majesty, and
that in so extraordinary a manner as to make Waldea
a sort of university. The orator made a speech in the
name of the body, and an act in philosophy was held
35 before her upon these questions :
ClemetUia magia tn princxpe laudanda quam severitaa.
Astra non im^onunt necemtatem.
One Mr Fleming a noted disputant of King's college
kept the act, and one Mr Palmer a known man of St

that he afterwards came to be master of that house. Dr
Bing maeter of Clare hall, who had kept the philosophy
act when the qaeea was at Cambridge, determined the
whole. 5
A comedy was afterwards exhibited before her majesty
in a very solemn manner, the queen's mnsic playing and
the trumpets sounding between the acts. In every thing
my lord Bnrghley appeared and acted as chancellor of
the uniyersity. The queen being presented with a Greek lo
Testament bound in vellum, the chancellor and several
of the nobility with gloves, together with Mr Skinner
instrnctor to Mr Cecil, and the music and trumpets being
liberally rewarded (for there is £14. 9«. 2d, entered in
Dr Howland's computus to that purpose), the vice-chan- 15
cellor and heads etc. returned to Cambridge, and the
queen having ended her progress went on her way to
London.
Of his second year's' vice-chancellorship I find nothing
memorable, but that he was made bishop* the same year, 30
the rewards of his first year's services being reserved for
the second, and the chancellor being rewarded in his
deputy.
He was bom at N^ewport Ponds in Essex' September
an. 1640, was fellow of Peterhouse*, thence removed to 23
Magdalene college an. 1575, and &om thence to St John's
an. 1577. That he had any other preferments is to me-
unknown, except the rectory of Statbeme', wherennto he
was presented by the master and fellows of Peterhouse
upon the death of Ralph Aynsworth an, 1569. 30
He commenced D.D. an. 1578 whilst vicfr-chancellor,
when by his office being obliged to moderate at the
vespers of the commencement, a grace' passed the house
to enable him to wear a red cape and other doctoral

WILLIAM WHITAKER SIXTEENTH MASTER,
ADurrriD Fsbb. Sffrn an. 1686.
Wb now come to one who, tbongh be never were a
bishop, jet was one of the greateat men the college ever
had. Dt Whitaker was (elected I cannot say, for the
feUows chose another] hnt admitted at TriniQ'' college' by
Dr Copcot vice-chancellor Febr. 25, 1586, or on St Mat- 5
thias' iaj, according to a manoBcript note of Mr Bois, who
gave his vote against him.
I never jet conld learn who it was that opposed this
great man in this election : I should suapect it to have been
Mr Palmer, had he then been eligible hj his standing, lo
being said in an authentic MS.* to have been chosen
master of St John's college; but he having not then been
bachelor of divinity, it may perhaps with more probability
be said to have been Andrew Downs, and the rather be-
cause Mr Bois gave his vote for him, which he would 15
hardly have done against Mr Whitaker for any one but
him, that had been his constant assistant in his studies
and instructor in the Greek tongae*, then almost lost and
forgot in this socie^, bad it not been restored by Mr Downs:
who leaving the house the same year that Dr Whitaker ao
came hither, and going to Trinity, and being chose Greek
professor about the same time, this looks like some com-
pensation made him for his disappointment, or as if there
were somewhat that made him uneasy in his old college.

Whoever was chose', it wsb certainly a rash thing in the
college and the falsest step they ever made, since the pro-
vocation ^ven the king in the opposition made to Dr Daj,
to reject sach a man as Dr Whitaker; especially vhen he
5 came anned with the qaeen's aathority, then mote nnquea-
tionable, she having promoted the last master to the see of
Peterboroagb.
It must be confessed he had somewhat of the oH
leaven. His marriage into the families of the Culvervells
10 and Fennera, his acqaaintimce with Mr Cartwright, Fulk,
Chaderton and Dod, might give him an insensible bias
that Vhj. And jet the meetings he held with Fulk,
Chaderton and Dod were not to introduce a new discipline,
bat to expound the scripture: and his letter* (in concert
15 with others) to Mr Cartwright, persuading him to under-
take an answer to the Rhemish testament, might admit of
a fair answer, had It been done in better company; allow-
ing it to have been wrote with design to turn the edge of
that fierce and angij spirit against our adversaries of the
30 church of Eome, which had been exercised too keenly
against Dr Whitgift : though it be very true that bishop
Whitgift afterwards forbid Cartwright to meddle in that
matter.
If some expressions of bis in bis controversies with
35 Bome have been made DSe of in favour of another sort of
men, it is no more than has happened to some of the
fathers of the church, who in the beat of argument have
dropt expressions that have been turned upon them by
their adversaries of another kind. It is certain Dr Whitaker
30 altered his opinion of Mr Cartwright, where he gives this
character of bis second reply, being his most perfect work* :
Ne vivam, n quid unquam viderim dUsohUius ac pene
jtueriliua.
But it is harder to cover bim irom connivance than
35 from countenance given to these men ; for that a new race
should grow up in his time, whereof Mr Henry Alvey

(^tenraids master of Triaity college ia Dublin} was the
head, thoagh it might not altogether be prevented, yet
that a general meeting or synod of the bretiiren shoald
be held in St John's college an. 1589, Cartwright and
others present, wherein' the book of discipline was cor- S
reeled and perfected, and wherein it was agreed, that so
many as would, should subscribe the said hook, could hardly
have happened without the master's knowledge. And
thoagh information or complaint being made hereof at that
time, it was denied in a letter* subscribed by the major lo
part of the fellows that any presbytery was erected in the
college, yet aucb an assembly might, and I suppose was,
held at that time, nor ia it disowned in that letter.
About the same time it was that bishop Bancroft' de-
scribes a college in Cambridge, where (as credibly reported) 1-5
when it happened that in their disputations the authority
either of Saint Augustine, or of Saint Ambrose, or of
Saint lerome, or of any other of the anltent Fathers: nay
the whole consent of them alltagelher was alledged, it was
reiected with very great disdaine .... Whereas at other 20

in commiseration of suah the poor man's simplicity : some
grow to be angry in regard of such presumption: and amne 25
ufiU depart away, accounting such a kinde offillowe not
worthy the hearing. I am far from thinking the master
conld be guilty of such indiscretions, his works answer
such objections, but I am afraid it will be thought that
nothing of this kind could happen in a society where he 30
did preside without some blot upon hia conduct*.
This, were it no otherwise to be excused, might be
forgiven to the lenity of his temper, and he might be more

witling to be ea87 with these men whilst his hands weie
fiill with his other adrersariea of the church of Kome,
who were bo impetaooa against him as not to treat him
with common decency or tolerable humanitj', especially
5 Stapleton, who was more outrageoos than the rest. It
was by this lenity that he won apon a divided society,
the majority whereof had been against his coming in, who
were not otherwise to be gained but by temper and for-
bearance. By this way they were so effectually gained,
10 that notwithstanding the opposition that bad been made
by the same men that would have given him the exclu-
sion, they were all at last united in their afTection to their
master, and he had no enemies to overcome.
. Among these was Mr Bois, who received particular
is marks of his condescension, when notwithstanding the
greater affairs of the house and his unintermitted studies
in writing books and preparing himself for the business
of the chair, he found time to be at his lectures in his
chamber on Friday nights to hear his pupils declaim;
30 and others, no doubt, met with the like encouragement,
where they were equally deserving. The rewards of learn-
ing were impartially distributed under him\ all indirect
courses, especially of bribery (it seems it had been formerly
practised), were utterly discouraged, there was only one
35 way of coming at preferment, and that the true one, which
was open to all and every one might pursue. This made
the college flourish in learning and swarm in numbers.
The author of Mr Bois' Life says there were thirty-eight
fetlow-commoners here at the same time, if not of the same
30 year, which, to take it at the more moderate compnta^
tion, is more than had ever been since the foundation,
or have ever been since, and I think I may say, more
than probably can ever he again.
One would wonder how room could be found for so
35 many with other scholars proportionably numerous. But
besides prelty large buildings behind the kitchen, the work
and gift of Dr Metcalf when the college was then crowded,
which with the master's gallery on the north side did

then go by the name of the other court, the buildings
of the old house formerly made n^e of for a stable and
other offices were now fitted op and lented oat in tene-
ments. This is evident &om the old books', where
amongst the other tenements in the town of Cambridge 5
the rents of the new tenement or hoapitium novum intra
pradnctum collegti, uii olim erat Tioapitah D. Johannis, etc.
are placed to account, as likewise the other tenement or
hospitium nooum prope collegi^im ex adverso coUegit, where
the pensionary and college stables now stand. lo
This may be said further for Dr Whitaker, that in his
time the books were more regularly digested and brought
into better method than they were before ; which though
it might be the business of a bursar, yet the alteration
having happened in his first year, may reasonably be 15
thought to have been done by his direction.
These were things of business ; of hiB learning I need
say nothing, whereof he has left so many specimens to
the world, nor is his principal commendation to be sought
from thence ', I should hardly praise him for his learning, 30
had it been confined to his own person; it was diflnisive
and spread itself over the whole society, where by his
example, instruction and euconragement he raised such an
emulation amongst his fellows as to make others learned
as well as himself; to that degree, that the socie^ in 2$
his time was looked upon as somewhat more than a pri-
vate college. He himself, who was no boaster, used to
style it an university, for which expression he is qnoted
by bishop Morton', who was chose fellow nnder him
purely for his learning and worth against eight competi- 30
tors most of them well recommended and better befriended
than he was.
Dr Fuller has picked up - a pretty story (as he has
done many) concerning this master's preferring men of
reputed religion, though otherwise dunces, to men of learn- 35
ing in the elections he made; but this story' has been
told of so many masters, that I much doubt whether it
be true of any of them. The doctor was certainly un-

bappj in his choice, for he could hardly hare thought
of a master, had he Bought for him, with whom hia story
wonld haTe agreed asd suited less. Bat stories are such
pretty things and such emhellishments of the doctor's
S history, that it is hard for him to pass them hy, and the
doctor has always faith enough to believe the strangest
stories, which are the best till they are contradicted. The
aathor of Dr Whitaker's Life gives a very different ac-
coant of his conduct in elections and more agreeable to
10 his usual prudence, for he was no easy man nor to be
imposed upon by sanctimoniooB dunces.
To that author ' I shall refer for his general character,
as well as for other particulars of his life. Bat because
that author, ifho has done right to Dc Whitaker, has
15 said nothing of himself, and by suppressing hia own same
deserves so much better to be remembeied, I shall just
reflect so much light upon him as to say it was Mr John
AUenson*, a Durham man of a good family in that coimty
and fellow of the same college', the same man that pab-
20 lished some of Dr Whitaker's posthumous works from
his lectures taken in short hand as they were read in
the schools, and shews the usage of those times, when
these lectures, now so much neglected, were not only con-
stantly read, but diligently heard by most, and copied out
25 by some.
I hare heard Mr A. Ashton the doctor's countryman
named for the author of this Life, but I suppose he wrote
no more than some verses upon the occasion of Di Whit-
aker's decease, printed with the rest by way of appendix
30 to the Life of that learned man.
He died December 4th 1595 of a fever contracted by
his journey to London upon occasion of the Lambeth
Articles, and is boried in the chapel under no very costly
monument of white marble with his epitaph at large.
35 The college gave him a public faneral* the manner of

wticb is described in hia Life, as the expense of it, to
the honoot of the society, does jet stand upon theii books',
where so much is put down for Dr Whitaker's funeral
feast according to the mode of these times, so much for
his tomb and so much for other charges. Mr Bois* made 5
the funeral oration in the name of the college, as the
vice-chancellor and public orator or his deputy did at St
Mary's. It seems his library was very choice and vain-
able, for by a letter' from archbishop Whitgift it ap-
pears the queen had a design npon it for herself, as the lo
archbishop had upon his written books and papers, and
the rather, I suppose, because the Lambeth Articles were
among them, that for good reasons were not then thought '
fit to be divulged.
He died young, aged 47 years, was chosen regius pro- 15
feasor when he was about one and thirty, and master of
St John's before he was forty. He left a wife and eight
children, so that he must have majried pretty early, for he
was twice married, and two years intervened betwixt his
marriages. He and Dr Chaderton master of Emmanuel zo
married two sisters. He was reproached with his marriage
by Stapleton ; whatever such men thought of it, I am sure
it could be DO objection to the society, for he kept his wife
in town, according to a laudable injunction* of queen Eliza-
beth generally observed till towards the times of usurpation, 25
when all things run into confusion and wives with their
dependances were brought in to the disturbance of scholars.
It has generally been thought that the controversy with
Dr Baro occasioned the Lambeth Arttclea, and consequently
his death which ensued upou that journey. That Is a mis- 30
take; it was Barrett's case that occasioned these articles',
and Dr Baro's controversy came not on till after these

and preBcbibg against them in his sermon* ad clerum.
For tiioagh he had been a secret abettor of Mi Barrett, jet
it was that sermon (preached ^ter Di Whitaker's death)
that cost him so much trouble and at last obliged him to
5 quit his poet in the QniveFBity.
I shaJl on\y take notice of one other thing under this
master, becaose it is of nse towards explaining the consti-
tution of the college in a case that seldom happens. Though
there was no Ttsitation under this master, for which there
lo could be no occasion, yet there was an instance* wherein
the visitor was to be consulted, and the see of Kly being
then vacant, recourse was had to the archbishop of Canter-
bary (then bishop Whitglft*), who is there said to be
visitor aede vacante. But a fellowship being void about
)5 the same time in the nomination of the bishop of Ely, the
archbishop did not interpose, but the queen presented to it
one Mr William Crashaw*, a Yorkshire man and as such
not eligible upon the foundation, who was admitted fellow
Jan. 19, 1593, and lived to do honour to the society by his
2o name and writings ; not by leaving them books as has been
imagined'. One Bichard Cox of the county cA Cambridge,
nearly related to the bishop of Ely of that name, had been
presented upon the same right and title an. 1585. So it
seems the right of visiting se(2e vacante is in the archbishop,
35 but the right of nominating fellows is in the crown, which
I rather mention, because it is otherwise at Peterhouse (as
likewise at Jesus), where the archbishop during the va-
cancy of the see of Ely admits the master as well as the
fellows, and (as my author* has it, which I will not answer
30 for) disposes of a vacant fellowship to whom he pleases.

Thifl maflter was only B.D. when he came to St John's;
he commenced D.D. an. 1587, when one of hia qaestions*
was, Papa eat iiutgnia iUe anttchrtstua. And to do him
some right against the diaciplinariana, one of hia questions
when he commenced B.D. was, Dieciplina ecchaiastica non 5

a title amongst onr MSS. upon this subject; whether it
might not be composed by him I leave to others to inquire,
but it has been wrote about this time and by no common

the same year: one of his names was fellow* of Eton. I
meet with him sometimes at Bhmsham, whether he were
rector there I cannot say ; this I can say, that he deserved
that and greater preferments, and indeed wanted them*, 25
for he died poor considering the charge and family he left
behind him. It was some reproach to the nation that the
two greatest professors that ever filled the chair should
have been no better provided for, I mean this professor and

Dr Whitaker being dead and his exequies performed
witli all due Bolemni^, tiie next thing the college was to
think of was a new master. They liad then several learned
men* among them, amongst the test Dr Flayiere, who
though he were of greatest &me for learning, as appeared 5
bj the choice of him next year to l>e Margaret professor,
yet Dr Clayton having been fellow of the college and very

the chancellor to their choice with the queen's mandate to lo
choose one of the two, though he were then master of
Magdalene, he was brought hither from that college, elected
and admitted master Decern. 22, 1595; whereby as the
business of the college might be advanced, so it waa no
advancement of learning. 15
It was Mr Bois' observation* that about this time, as
the college begun to rise in buildings, so it declined in
learning; which was certainly very true, for the master
not long after his coming hither having brought them the
agreeable news of a new court, they were so overjoyed or 20

SO overbusied with architecture, that their other Btndies
were intermitted and the Doiae of ases and hammers dis-
turbed them in their proper bosiness. The same person
observes that under Br Whitaker the socie^ flocrished
5 most ia learning, insomuch that they were then so crowded
that one court was hardly able to contain the crowd, and
therefore it was a verjc laudable design to provide more
room, had they, whilst the second court was going up,
t^en equal care to preserve their numbers ; the fault was
lo that whilst they provided for room they did not want it.
The second court', the great work of this master, was
began by his persuasion through the unwearied agency of
Mr K. Booth* our best solicitor in 1598, being put into
the hands of two undertakers Wigge and Symons (a way
IS of building not so allowable in works intended for pos-
terity) who for the sum of £3400 obliged themselves in
four years to erect a court in the same (or better) manner
than it now stands, to be completely finished in 1602.
The materials of the old bnilding were thrown in to mend
30 their bargain, and this first sum of £3400 the foundress
obliged herself to make good. By a second contract the
undertakers were to receive further £205 for some addi-
tional buildings and ornaments, viz. for making the build-
ings half stoiy etc. ; and this it was hoped the foundress
35 would allow. The foandadoa was laid Octobr. 2^, 1598 ;
' the north side of the court was finished an. 1599, that side
being first undertaken, either becaose it was designed for
accommodating the master, or because the old buildings on
the other side were to stand till more room was made. The
30 rest of the building rose more slowly, though, bating some
small particulars, the whole was finished in the year 1602,
in a manner ruinous to the undertakers and not over-
advantageous to the college. The undertakers were un-
done {for soon after I meet with Wijgge in prison petition-

building left them, which can never live up to the age of

the first court, thongli that conrt !» older b7 almost 100
years : and yet the contract was putictttally performed on
their side hj the payment of £3605 with somewhat over,
the whole charge amounting to £3665, a good part whereof
was never received by them, by the foundress' misfortunes 5
. coming on soon after, which disabled her to make good
what she so well intended. Only £3760 appeus to have
been received of her, the rest is placed to account as due,
and was either made good by the college, or does not ap-
pear to have been paid by the foundress. In 1620 she 10
was in arrears', and being then in some disorder, there
could be little hopes left of payment. Part of Mr Rob.
Booth's legacy seems to have been applied to that use.
However she is justly entitled to the foundation of the
whole, what she did being wholly owing to her favour, and 15
what she left undone being owing to her misfortanes.
The payments that were made by her or her order
were made sometimes to the master at London or Lincoln,
and sometimes to him or the several bursars in college,
and though the countess of Shrewsbury be never named ao
otherwise than as foundress, yet the payments being made
by ao many different hands, to so many several persons,
at different times and in different places, there coold be no
such mysteiy or secrecy in the thing as has been imagined.
It is certain the secret was oat before the building was np, 35
and that both she and the lord her hosband were known
to be at the bottom of the design, though from a clause in
the contract it seems to have been at first a secret, where
the undertakers oblige themselves to leave room over the
gate for snch arms as the college should afterwards set np 3°
there, which are now the arms of Talbot and Cavendish.
Her statue was given by the late duke of Newcastle out
of respect to the society as well as with regard to his name
and family.
Thus the court was finished by this excellent lady with 35
the consent, countenance and assistance of the earl her
hnsband : her faults or misfortanes are foreign to my pur-
pose, occasioned by her intriguing in the match betwixt

her kinBWoman the lady Arabella and Sir William Seymor,
and afterwards reporting that that lady had borne him a
son, for the which she was first imprisoned and afterwards,
retiising to answer, was fined very heavily, viz. £20,000,
5 and again imprisoned during the king's pleasure.
That she had ever any thoughts of endowing her
conrt (a3 has been said') is more than I know, and roach
more than I believe. In all the papers* there is nothing
said of each a design, but there is enough said to con-
lo tradict it.
The conrt being finished was to be divided out, and
the proportions adjusted betwixt the master and the fel-
lows, wherein the master had a large share, as reasonable,
most of it having been built upon his ground, either
'5 where his garden or his old galleiy stood, and all of it
under his conduct and by his. and Mr Booth's persuBsion,
and there being now room enough, several of the scholars
that were willing to keep in them* had likewise chambers,
somewhat whereof continued till of late years, and some-
2o what (though very little) till the building of the last
court ; when (as one would imagine) the scholars lost thetr
shares for want of room.
The master having got over this arduous affair, so
very difficult and troublesome to him (being grounded
35 upon deficient funds and managed by unequal under-
takers, who did neither satisfy nor were satisfied them-
selves, so that the whole ended in a suit at law) was now
at liberty to attend more public business; and being very
considerable by having brought new ornament to the
30 aniversity as yet low in buildings, was chose vice-chan-
cellor an. 1605, an office he would have discharged with,
greater lustre but that the pli^e* broke out that year,
occasioning a recess of the heads, a dispersion of the
scholars and an intermission of exercise for some time.

perfonnance, particularly of the two professors, Dr Orersll 5
and Dr Plajfere, the latter whereof opposed him, though
he were then Margaret piofetisor ; the last time, I believe,
he acted in that capacity, for soon after he fell into
disorder, and the year following' Dr Branthwaite acted aa
his deputy; ia the sacceeding year he died* Feb. 1 an. lo
1608, aged 46 yearfi, agreeably to the inscription on hia
picture in the gallery*.
Nothing memorable besides happened nnder Dr Clay-
ton's rice-chancellorahip, except an order* for the observ-
ance of the fifth of November in a very solemn manner 15
in the nnirersity, and that with regard to their doty and
gratitude to the king who had been heaping privileges
npon them ; having given them a power of sending bur-
gesses to parliament in. the first year of his reign, and in
his second year having granted them a very ample charter', 3^
confirming their ancient privileges and adding new ones,
and in this year, which was his third, having empowered
them to nominate and present to the livings of popish
recosants, having first given them the two wealthy rec-
tories of Somersham and Terrington as an acgmentation a$
to the two professorships.
The next year an order passed rather fawning than
dndfol; for the king having expressed his dislike of
tobacco by his Counterblast fulminated against it, the
nniversi^, to shew how entirely they were in his majes^'s 30
sentiments, passed an order against excessive drinking
and taking tobacco. Bnt notwithstanding the learning
both of the king and the nniversi^ that evil custom has
prev^led, when the king's book as well as the nniversity'a
order is almost forgot. 35

boBinesa, a good part of bis time being employed at Lin-
coln and Feterborongh, where his preferments lay, being
5 dean' of Peterboroogh and archdeacon and prebendary of
Lincoln: and whilst he was in college, no small share of
his time was devoted to the seniors, either in college
bosiness or entertainments, which in his time* begun to
run high; whereby being become very acceptable, new
lo advantages were added to the mastership. For besides
the Taat addition &om the new buildings, the monthly
dividend amongst the present fellows' being now estab-
lished, the master was to receive a double share, and
being often absent was to be allowed in his absence, a
15 privilege not extending to any of the fellows.
But however reasonable this might be thought, another
adrantage was allowed more exceptionable ; for towards
the increase of the mastership it was decreed* that the
master might make choice of any lease belonging to the
20 college to be for ever annexed to the mastership, and to
enjoy the profits thereof, the rent of com and money being
only reserved ; the consequences whereof might have been
very fetal, for thoagh the present master did not choose
the best, yet his successor Br Qwyn chose a better, and
9g afterwards the fellows in course begun to choose, which
might have ended very ill and have reduced the junior fel-
lows to beggary, had it not received a check first by com-
plaints at court, and afterwards by a visitation or appeal to
the visitor at Ely, which the master and seniors were forced
30 to submit to, to screen themselves &om a higher power.
By such means this master, as well as l^ his other

May 2*, 1612 without a will, his next relations not agree-
ing about the division, his wealth became a rich booty
to the men of the law. It has been said he intended
to make the college his heir, I cannot contradict that
report, but I have often observed that they that have s
profited most by the college have done the least for it
when they come to die, being willing, it Bcems, to make a
gift of what they leave, rather tlian bestow it where it may
be thought a debt.
One thing was owing to his government, that puritan- lo
ism, that had taken such deep root, vob now in great inea-
sore rooted out of the college; aa may partly be gathered
from bishop Williams', who was a young fellow under
him and has left a youthful character of this master, part
whereof is that names of distinction were banished under i5
him and that papist and puritan were no longer terms of
distinction. The rest of the character is such as young
men usually give their masters to whom they owe their
preferment, or on whom they hold a dependance. His
temper in this matter appeared further in the controversy aa.
and censure of Barret and Baro*, wherein he shewed him-
self no such favourer of the Calvinist opinions aa were the
rest of the heads ; which procured him some respects from
archbishop Whitgift, who wanted either light or zeal to
keep pace and go along with the rigours of the zealous 25
heads of those times, and was forced to make use of Dr Clay-
ton to qualify and abate their heat.
He was (as has been said) a man of business, and had
as much learning as his successor, somewhat whereof ap-
peared in his having been pitched upon at the commence- 30
ment in 1587 to keep the act of B.D., when the questions'
he held were well enough chose, if they were as well de-
fended. But it was not to his advantage that DrWhitaker

He haa not (that I ever could meet with) left so moch
aa one "book to the libnuy to preserve his memory, a usual
respect even from those masters that have done least for
the college. His predeccasor haa left that mark ofrespect,
5 though he bad both less reason and much less ahilitiea.
After much solicitation £30 was recovered from his rela-
tions, his best bason' and ewer is said to have been pro-
mised, but it was carried off with the other rich booty, and
such things, after they are once gone, do not nsoally return.
lo Bishop Neile, who waa employed in preventing a man-
date for his successor, as well as in giving directions for his
funeral', ordered that it should be very sumptuous*, and
having heard that Dr Richardson was thought of to preach
his funeral sermon, is so much concerned thereat, that
15 rather than any but a St John'a man should preach the
sermon, nndertakes that he himaelf (though indisposed) or
Dr Barlow bishop of Lincoln should perform that office.
Bat Dr Carey at the instance of the bbhop was sent down
by the king to do that duty, a fair intimation (without a
30 mandate) that he waa designed to succeed him: a banquet

OWEN QWYN EIGHTEENTe: MASTER,
AovmsD Uat 16th as. 1613.
Db Clattom haTing left the college in do Ter|r flotmEiIi-
ing Btate of learning, they had no large choice amongst
themselTeB ; and yei Mr Senhonse Traa then member of the
Bocietj-, who thongh he waa cot thought of for master, in
a few years after waa esteemed worthy to be a bishop, and S
the other competitors that were rejected came oil of them
afterwards to great preferments. The three great men most
in view (for he that waa chosen was not great) were Dr Mor<
ton dean of Winchester, Dr Carey master of Christ's and
Dr Meriton then or lately fellow of Qdeens'. They were lo
all of them originally of St John's (Dr Carey' had been
twice choaen fellow in an nnosual manner), hnt being then
no gremiala, nor very fiolicitons for a preferment they did
not want, they were easily supplanted by a man of less
worth, bnt of more intrigne and greater ambition. ig
This was Owen Gwyn (a name that adds no Instre to
our annals), who by his interest in the seniors and his own
and pupil's intrigues (who needs not be named*) with the
rest of the fellows was brought in master and admitted May
16th, 1612, to the great grief and with much reluctance of 20
most of the better sort of men, who would have consulted
the honour and interest of the society in a nobler choice.

When I reflect upon thia and tlie two former elediona,
I cannot but sometimes wish that the choice of masters
were in other hands, I mean the crown's. For to e&y
nothing of the factions and divisions that might be avoided
S by such a coarse, it is bat too evident that the crown
Ofinallj makes better masters than colleges choose: the one
sends governors, the others choose such as will be governed,
at least such with whom they can be easy, or that will not
flit too hard upon them. And whoever impartially views
lo moat of our elections, will I believe observe that good
natnre and a sociable temper are generally made the first
ingredients in a master.
This was the case of Mr Gwyn, who being an easy man
and owing his preferment to men of ease, he gave himself
15 up to be governed by his electors, who were neither the
best nor the wisest men of that society. Being head of his
faonse, his ambition did not reach much further, he sits
down and reposes himself amongst his seniors, and ia much
more concerned for the revennes than the government of
ao the college. The last master had a lease given him, this
was continued and afterwards a better lease' bestowed upon
thia master, who by a due ackaowledgement gives the
seniors an option in their turns, so that in some yeare a
good part of the fines and leases were cantoned out amongst
35 the seniors.
This was growing up several ycais, till becoming very
Bcandalons and it being impossible to gratify the preten-
sions and expectations of all the fellows, complaints at last
broke out and a petition was preferred to the chancellor
30 against this and other irregularities by one Mr Downehale,
who thought himself neglected or injured in his claim.
The master and seniors screen themselves under the sta-
tutes' protecting them fiwm a nsitor unless they should
call him in, which under so much guilt they never intended
35 to do. Mr Downhale was therefore put upon another
coarse, of petitioning the chancellor and through him en-
deavouring to open his way to the king, and b^g a man

of character and interest, having been chaplain to bishop
Williams and particularly known to the chancellor the
earl of Holland, he pushed the thing so home that the
master and seniors were driven to their last refuge, to
have recourse to the bishop of Ely their visitor, which of 5
all things they would not otherwise have thought of.
They had shewn' how they were inclined five or six
years ago, when upon coToplainta from some of the fellows
the bishop of Ely offering to interpose aa visitor, they
refused to admit him or to send a copy of their atatntes, lo
though they were demanded. But being now Btmck by
a Jiigher power, they were all obedience to their visitor ;
and it was certainly their wisdom to submit themselves
to a visitation by their own act, rather than appear where
they were prosecuted aa criminals at the suit of others. - 15
It was their good fortune that the bishop of Ely Dr
Buckridge was a quiet good man, then broken with age
and infirmities, and more inclinable to restore peace to
the college than to shew severity; who being satisfied
with their sabmission, which was very humble, and with zo
doing right to the station he held, put a quiet end to
that affair, rather by advice to the master and seniors to
redress their irregularities, by suggesting the dangerous
consequences, than by using his authority in doing it
himself. 3^
The bishop of Lincoln' seems to have been concerned
in the affair by giving cotmtenance to his chaplain, though
we do not hear of him till the master and seniors were
in their great distress ; then (as nothing is more cowardly
and creeping than guilt) they apply to him in a very 30
sabmiaaive manner, and make large apologies that they
did not address him sooner upon their entrance upon that
unfortunate business, as they softly style it. But that pre-
late knew how to distinguish betwizt a forced submission
and a voluntary respect. 35
All this did not happen at the same time, nor was

an end pnt to it till the year 1630, but I hare laid it
together, as being the most remarkable transaction under
this prefecture, and as a useful caution to posterity not
to venture upon irregular things by presuming too much
5 upon impunity. It probably had this good effect that the
alarm of it put the governors upon making a dividend
of the fines amongst the fellows, a course and method
that had not been practised till about this time, when they
were alarmed with danger.
lo To return back from this unfortunate business; the
master, as he had been fortunate in his election, so he
waa no less successful upon his first entering upon his
preferment ; the same year that be was chose, in March
following, the prince of Wales and the prince elector
15 palatine with a numerous train of nobility etc. came to
Cambridge'. A public act was kept before them, wherein
Mr Williams' (formerly the master's pupil) being con-
cerned, he came down upon that great occasion, and being
an active man and already in the eye of the court, part
2o of the stream of its favours were turned upon his college.
A very particular account' of their entertainment is
yet extant upon the books, furnished out with great mag-
nificence in the master's gallery, the trumpets sounding
upon the tower, and verses being composed and presented
35 upon the occasion; and it was then Uiat the king's and
queen's pictures were sent down that have since hung
in the gallery. The earl of Southampton (who had for-
merly been a worthy member of the society) assisted at
the solemnity, and the master being unacquiunted with
30 such ceremonies, Mr Williams bore the greater share,
wherein he found his account. The master was rewarded
with the degree of doctor of divinity' conferred upon him
at that act without the uneasiness of performing exercise,
which we may suppose to have been no unacceptable
35 favour, being without trouble and at the college expense.
Two years after his majesty honoured the university
with his presence, March 1614-5, and was so well satis-
fied with hia entertainment that he came again the May

following. He too wu entertained hj tlie college^ for
which £500 ia placed to account, besides their propor-
tion to the pnblic charge. At hifl departure degrees were
Tilelj proatitated to mean persons, such as apothecaries and
barbers, and that in so scandaloos a manner that some 5
of them were afterwards degraded by a grace of the house* ;
though, to soften the matter, it was pretended that some
of these degrees were surreptitiously obtained. Dr Harenet
master of Pembroke and bishop of Chichester was then
Tice-chancellor, who received all the marlu of his majes^'s lo
bounty and favour; that any great notice was taken of
l>r Gwyn, I have not read; but he made hia court so
well to the vice-chancellor that he was employed by him
in hia absence, wherein be acquitted himaelf to that ad-
vantage, that he was chosen vice-chancellor the year after. 15
That year is not very memorable in our annala ; that
he made a true and legal computus* I am well assured,
a bnaineas he was anfficiently qualified for, having been
bursar of the college four years successively ; he paid the
moneys that were due upon account, and so was die- ao
charged.
An affair indeed of great weight and consequence was
started under hia' yice-chauceUorship, which, though it was
dashed in the following year, yet was the subject of dis-
conrse and made a noise long after. The town of Cam- 3^
bridge having an ambition to be dignified with the title
and privileges of a city, preferred a petition to his majesty
to that purpose 1616. This being no where preserved, I
shall give the contents of it as a curiosi^ worth remark.
It sets forth: That whereas fliey were a very ancient cor- 30
poration and held the town in fee farm of hia majesty with
divers fi^inchisea, libertiea and jurisdictiona granted by his
majeaty and divers of hia noble progenitors, and whereas
in ancient time Cambridge was one of the twenty-eight
principal cities in England, and lately had been exceedingly 3^
graced by his highness' access thereunto; that it might
please hia majesty, for more dignifying the university and

the corporation or town, that the aniTern^ and town of
Gamhridge might be ranked and settled in equal degree
with the tmlTersity of Oxford and the city of Oxford, and
that the town might be incorporated to be a city, by the
5 name of the mayor, aldermen and citizens of the city of
Cambridge, with anch officers, priTileges, jm-iadictions, etc
as the chanoelloT of England then high steward of the

the umTersity and the attorney-general should think meet;
lo saving to the universi^ of Camlndge all their liberties,
jnrisdictions, pre-eminences and immonities whataoerer;
and the petitioners sboald be bonnd to pray.
This was first offered to the chancellor of Cambridge',
and by him to the nniveraity for their approbation or die-
15 sent, and though it might not deserve success, yet did not
merit such a slurring answer as was sent by his majesty in
hia letter* to the university, whereby the poor townsmen
were made a song and scorn, and wanting moneys more
than honour, the jest upon them was next commencement :

Utmia pott niunmoi.
Bat this mortification was given them under the next
vicechancellor, Dr Hills.
As to Dr Qwyn, he does not appear much afterwards
35 in public business; only when the duke of Buckingham
appeared for chancellor, having received intimation &om
conrt &om bishop Neile* (formerly a member of the society),
he shewed himself very zealous for the duke's interest, for
which he received his grace's particular thanks*, and might
30 teaaonably have had some further expectations, had that
great minister lived long enough to reward his friends.
But these expectations, if any such were, sunk with
the duke, and whether he had not taken equal care to
oblige hia successor I do not know ; but the earl of Holland

of greater activity aiid of a warmer temper sat in his place :
from him the master received a threatening letter', admon-
ishing bim of the disorders and irregularities that had been
too long connived at; and though he had no reason to
apprehend any danger from a visitor whilst he was in per- 5
fcct good understanding with his seniors, yet that letter
being 1>acked from court, there was no defence to be made
against two such powers if they should fall upon him at.
the same time. Whether that letter (or there might be
more of the same kind, that I have not seen) made any im- lo
pression upon his mind or broke his heart I most not pre-
tend to determine, but he died the year after, not much
lamented, unless by those that were involved in the same
guilt : he was buried* in the chapel June 20th an. 1633.
That I suppose must be understood of the solemnity, for 15
his will' is dated June 3, and proved June 8th the same
year.
His character may be taken from what has been said ;
as to his preferments they were not many : he was arch-
deacon of Huntington', a preferment that was in the 20
patronage of his pupil bishop Williams as bishop of Lin-
coln. He had the offer of the archdeaconry' of Shrewsbury
soon after his accession to the mastership from Dr Neile
bishop of Coventry and Lichfield ; I never meet with him
under that title, possibly he might refuse it upon the same 25
reason that Dr Carey master of Christ's had before re-
signed it*, that it was hardly worth the keeping and that
the official went away with most of the profits. He must
have been rector of Luffenham ; for Mr Abr. Johnson, in a

Luftenham in the county of Rutland.
It might have been expected that a man, that left no
5 monuments of his learning, should have left greater mona-
ments of bis charity, but therein he has equalled his pre-
decessor, having done nothing of that kind either in moneys
or books'. He has indeed by will left the college a piece
of plate valued at £30. {given him by the earl of North-
lo umberland a late member of the house) afterwards sent to
the king, and bestowed another piece of plate valued at
£6. 135. 4(£., which Mr Holland' gave unto the college.
He left legacies to his two nephews William and Henry
Bodurda, both of them fellows of the house, and rings and
15 legades amongst the seniors. But he constituted his ser-
vant Gr. Gwin hb sole executor, who went off with all
that was undisposed of, and has not left a monument to his
master.
He has besides left a vast heap of letters to the treasury,
30 larger than all those of liis predecessors, which have been
of some use to me in writing his history, but if these were
intended for the treasury, whatever memorials they may be
to the college, they are not over advantageous to his own
memory. He might perhaps think that bishop Williams
35 had done enough, whose benefactions to the house fell
within his time : that prelate's bounty ought never to be
forgot ; the library will be his lasting monument, and the
livings he bestowed were a considerable benefaction ; his
fellowships and scholarships might be equally welt intended,
30 but being settled upon deficient funds, they could not (as
they were for some time) be always maintained at the col-
lege charge, and therefore his fellowships are very justly
sunk, for whoever know anything of the estate* allotted to

that purpose, nndeiBtand vejy well that it will hardlj mun-
tun four scholars. But all these, as they are -ray consi-
derable (to say nothing of the advantages reaped trom his
reputation and interest), so they were the pure effect of his
free and undeserved bounty, and are no ways owing to Dr 5
Gwyn. He had nothing to do but to take care to preserve
their memory, which he has not done for one of the most
considerable benefactions that fell within his time.
For an excellent good man, one Mr Richard Whitting-
ton, rector of Wheldrake in the coun^ of York, having by lo
will* left £1100 for the paicbaae of an impropriation or im-
propriations to be settled npon St John's college, his execo-
tors Dr Fbin. Hodgson and Mr Henry Wickham purchased
of Sir Marmadnke lAugdale the rectory of Holme in Spald-
ing Moor together with the right of patronage to the vica- 15
rage (at the expense of £1400], and by deed* vested them
in the college, and yet by the neglect of these times the
good man has not only been utterly forgot, but another
person entitled to his donation.
To do some right to Dr Gwyn, though he was neither 20
a great scholar nor benefactor himself, yet he was well bom
and related to benefactors, having been nephew to Dr John
Gwyn* and cousin to bishop Williams, the two great and
(I think) the only bene&ctors we have had from Wales.
He was of Denbighshire, and was admitted fellow for the ^S
same Dr John Gwyn March 20, 1589*, as he waa admitted
his scholar an. 1584. He waa, aa I said, bursar four years
successively*. It does not appear that he ever was either
lecturer or dean, offices that then uanally fell upon men of
learning, aa the others fall upon men of bnsinesa. But it 30
may be said for him, that under his prefecture and about
the same time flourished three of the greatest men that

Hary's, that it was close and learned and to his honour.
That learned man was then master of Trinity, where (if it
will be any apology for Dr Gwyn) as great and crying
abases had crept in as were practised at St John's, by
15 scandaloos pre-elections, and what was yet worse, by turn-
ing elections into particnlar nominations, the master and
seniors nominating in their toms ; a practice so liable to
corruption as might have mined that society, had not king
James given a check to it by his letters* to the master and
30 seniors, ordered by him to remain upon record,
Owen the epigrammatist has bestowed two epigrams
upon this master and his greater pupil. That upon the
pupil is large enough and peculiar to the person described

self with pretty allusions) did value the more (or the name

AN APPENDIX
COMCERNINQ TUB LIBBART AND BISHOP WILLIAMS'
OTHER FOUNDATIONS.
A NEW library seems to have been intended as early as
the year 1616, for then the old case was cantoned out into
tenements, and the books removed into one of the great
chambers near the hall. In 1617, July 9th, a letter' was
addrcBsed to the countess of Shrewsbury for her leave to 5
build a library adjoining to her ladyship's court : the situar
tion, as then intended, was to be from the gate to the river
(with loss of one or more chambera in the second court), the
building to be erected upon and supported by pillars: but
funds were yet wanting, to which purpose several persons 10
were applied to without meeting with su£Bcient encourage-
ment to lay the foundation ; when unexpectedly a letter*
came from Dr Carey bishop of Exeter, signifying that an
unknown person had promised £1200 to that use, if it were
safficient, but would neither advance higher, nor yet was 15
willing to admit a partner. By this and other letters an
estimate was desired to be made of the expense, and a com-
putation was taken from the two wings of Dr Nevill's court
at Trinity, each of which cost in building abont £1500;
and the allowance being found to be short, the same un- 20
known person was at last prevailed with to advance farther
£200, provided room could be made for two fellows and
four scholars that were likewise designed by him to be
founded. What further advances were made dq^ not ap-
' Liter, inter ftrcliiv>. * Dat. Apr. 16 an. 16*3.

pear from these' letters, exceptmg £200 or £250 (afterwards
promised towards perfecting the work*). Bnt the Bret site
and model waa disliked, the present plan and situation was
agreed on, the lord keeper bishop Williams (hitherto Ter7
5 artfally concealed) owned and declared himself to be the
founder hy another letter" from the bishop of Exeter, and
the case of the building was finished by Michaelmas 1624.
Thus far the success was happy, but whilst the work
was carrying on, the bishop made new proposals' for his
lo other foundation, offered £60 per annum rack rent for two
fellows and four scholars, and sent down by bishop Carey,
who though he owned it was not enough, yet advised the
college not to refuse the offer, lest a stop should be put to
further bounty: the bishop of Durham Dr Neile was like-
15 wise employed in the same design, who gave the like ad-
vice and much more pressingly. But this, as reasonable,
met with no ready compliance, and both the master by
letter* (after conference with the seniors) and Mr Lane in
person gave a very resolute answer to the keeper, that
30 it could not be accepted consistently with their statutes.
Hereat the keeper took fire, was out of humour and inacces-
sible for some time, and the work had like to hav^ been at
"a stand, had not the two other bishops mediated the affair
by appeasing the keeper, and by giving greater expectations
as disposed the college to an ungrateful compliance, which
was at last given in a confused manner, hodge podge as is
there said, or as the bishop of Durham says, by' throwing
the expense of the library iuto the additional foundation.
And indeed that good bishop by his too much zeal for the
30 service of the house seems to have exceeded his commission,
for he owned to bishop Carey that he rather collected the
college sense and consent, than directly had it; wherein I
am the more confirmed, because Dr Gwyn, in defence (as

baa left: a copy of his own first lesolate answer incloaed in
the bishop of Dnrham's letter. However the thing was
done, but was too nneqoal a contract to be of long continit-
auce, the £60 per anuom rack rent being soon sunk to half 5
the valoe.
I am unwilling to believe that the master was swajred
hj indirect motives, or that the keeper used any finesse
to compass his design ; bnt whilst this matter was trans-
acting, an expectation of preferment was given the master to
hy promising to recommend him with Dr Price' to the
bLshopric of St Asaph, and that expectation failing, a
deaner7 was proposed. An option was likewise given him
in the four livings then settied, two of them Welsh aine-
cures, and Mr Zjone his prime minister was then likewise 15
thooght of for a good preferment ; whatever it was that
disposed them to a compliance (I will choritablj suppose
motives of gratitude to have been at the bottom], the keeper
at last was ao well pleased with them, that he told bishop
Carej* in merriment that the college were become perfect 20
coortiera: though honest Di Gmjn understood so littie
of a court, that upon news of the bishopric he was for
posting up to London, bad not that bishop hy an un-
usual but necessary bluntness pat a stop to his career.

ANOTHER APPENDIX
OONCBRSING THE FOUNDATION OF MY LORD MAT-
NABD'S LOQIO LEOTUBE.
AifOTHBB foandation happened about the same time,
which, thongh it were of a more public nature, yet being
granted bj and determined to a member of this house, that
it may not altogether be forgot, I will speak one word of it.
5 This was of a logic lectore by the lord Maynard, of £50
per annum. The first mention I find made of it was Oc>
tobr, 12 an. 1618*, when it was intended by Sir William
Maynard in conjanction with one Mr Argall an Essex
man (as it should seem by the place of his abode). But
lo Mr Argall £ai]ing, my lord proceeded in his own name
and at bia own expense, and the king's letters patent
passed to this purpose an. 1620, when or the following
year his lecture was to commence*, and my lord gives
assurance of payment to the university from that year.
ig It does not appear from the public computna that pay-
ments were made so early, the first payment there made
was an. 1628-9', when £75 was received and so much was
paid to Mr Thornton fellow of St John's, his lordship's
reader, for a year and a halfs duty in reading that lec-
ao tore. From that year payments were continued till the
year 1640, when the troubles coming on, and Mr Thorn-
ton his reader being soon after ejected for his loyalty, they
were discontinued, the foundation dropt, and so we lost

a Saxon lecture, wherennto be annexed the impropriated
rectory of Middleton in the coonty of Norfolk, and Sir
Edwin Sandya for £1000 left by will for a lecture m

iniquity of the times, and being gone, no more is needful
to be said of them, than to preserve their remembrance.

"WILLIAM BEALE NINETEENTH MASTER,
Aduttied Febr. 20th an. 1633, ob rather Fbbb. 19th, 16
BEcta Ash Wednesday.
As Dr Gwyn was unfortunate in his government, so
his miefortunea did not die with him, having laid the
seeds of future divisions that broke oat presently after his
death ; these were easily anppressed during his prefecture
by his own power in concurrence with his seniors; he
* being gone, the fellows were now upon an equal foot in
the choice of a new master. Dr Lane was then president
of the college, a man of no mean abilities and favoured
by the seniors, but his party not being strong enough
amongst the fellows, a way was thought of to strengthen
^° his interest by dispatching Dr Ambrose to court upon pre-
tence of giving notice of the master's death, bat in reality
to procore his majesty's letters.
Dr Ambrose was the fittest person that could be
thought of to this purpose, being a man of some charac-
'^ ter and yet not actually one of the number of seniors,
though he was favoured by them, as appeared by a pretty
noted instance, when being to commence B.D., an. 1627',
be laid down as caution a college pot, etc., which could
not have been done without the consent of the master and
^° seniors. For^ pounds was allowed him for his journey,
And his negotiation was successful, for he procured his
majesty's letters* dated from Barwick, June 11, 1633, in
porsnance whereof the seniors with some of their triends
chose Dr Lane their master,

214 ST JOHN'S OOLLEOE.
Mr Holdsworth, a man of much greater worth and
some time fellow of the same socie^, was put up by the
younger set of men and was undoubtedly' chose by a
clear majority, but being then suspected as pnritanically
inclined (though he approved himself otherwise in the 5
time of trial), he met with less favour iu the university.
Both parties presented their master elect to the vice-
chancellor Br Laney in order to admiasion ; but the case
being doubtful or ho unwilling to do anything that
should look like opposing the court, which he must have lo
done by allowing the better plea, he refused to meddle
or to admit either of them : upon which refusal both
parties returned to the college, gave the oath and a sort
of admission to their pretended heads, and so the honse
enjoyed two masters. 15
Irregular things passed on both aides, the lapse of
time, and that the seniors wanted numbers to make an
election; vacancies were made in order thereunto, and
both Mr Skelton's" and Mr Wright's' fellowships were
declared void, either upon reasons that were insufficient, »o
or upon BDch as were not thought of tiU the present
juncture: and though this sentence onght to have been
submitted to (having passed by the president and seniors)
till redress could have been had, yet both Mr Wright and
Mr Skelton seem to have voted, and, what was more 35
irregular*, Mr Wright admitted Mr Holdsworth master,
being senior (as I suppose) of that party.
Thus matters continued for some time, till his majesty
was pleased to vouchsafe a hearing' ; tohere sucA hein&ua
crimes and aapereions were cast upon Dt Lane,- 9a he 30
thought it necessary to grant a commission to the heads of
the honses to inquire into the truth of them. Inquiry
was made apon that commission, but neither then did
truth clearly appem, oaths being returned almost directly
against oaths, aa well in defence of as against Dr Lane. 35

noners divided, hia majea^ took the matter back again

into his own hands, and partly npon coloni of a devo-
lation, as well aa npon the right he had &om both parties
having snbmitted themBelvea to his determiQation, to pre-
vent diTisions and lest either of the parties should be ex-
5 asperated if the other were preferred, he pitched upon a
third man, and Bent fais letters' mandatory for Dr Beale;
who, afler a long straggle of eight or nine months be-
twixt the contending parties, was admitted master February
20th by the greater part of the fellows.
10 Dr Lane survived not long; sttmg and grieved widi
the aspersions that were cast npon him by his enemies, he
died suddenly in June following, 1634; and was buried
privately in the chapel, leaving' some debt to the college
and his reputation tainted, that might otherwise have fol-
ifi lowed him unstained to the grave; and may teach hia
snocBBaors not to parsne preferment too eagerly, tmless
they be snch as are themselves without dn. He had been
chaplain to Henry earl of Southampton, and had been
abroad with him in Ho)land in some relation to public
9o business, which, notwithstanding some ofTence then given,
gave him an interest and reputation at court, which he
unhappily survived. By his will' all his goods were to
be sold, and if there was any overplus, to be disposed
of according to a secret trust. He was rector of Ashton
35 com. Northampton'.
Mr Holdsworth, to shew he had more gratitude than
resentment, the year after presented the college with
books*, was afterwards master of Emmanuel, whither he
was attended by this society April 26, 1637 in order to
30 his admission, lived to be preferred by the king and to
suffer for him, and has left to posterity the reputation of
his sufferings ss well as of his learning. He succeeded
Dr Gwyn in his archdeaconry and prebend of Buctden
in the church of liincolii, though not in his mastership,
35 was nominated to the deaneiy of Worcester, and had the
offer of a mitre, though he never wore it.

temained : for a vast charge and debt bdng contracted iii
executing the commission* with fees to actuaries and other
officers, all this (after long and great solicitation to de-
cline it) fell upon the college, whereof the^ could not rea-
sonably' complain, having given occasion to the division 3
as well as enjoying the fruit of tranquillity and peace.
The best of it was, they could not buy their new master
too dear, who was an extraordinary man, and one that
wanted only opportunity and time to have made the so-
ciety flonriBh under him : bnt his time, as it was short, so 10
was it very unquiet, interrupted with various troubles and
irequent avocations, which denied him the occasions of
being serviceable where be most desired it.
The same year he came to St John's' he was chosen
vice-chancellor of the universiiy, an office he discharged 15
to <tbe height and to the honoot and advantage of that
body: to pass by many instances, one thing was observed
under him, which how often it has been practised since
I cannot say, but seems now to be almost forgot. In his
year an oath was given to the sheriff of the county to 30
observe the privileges of the university, and so much is
placed to account' to ^ aix clerk for seeing Ike sheriff
take his oath ; a thing of late years so much neglected,
that we have little more to shew for it than the form of the
oath and the grant or privilege for tendering it. 2$
Another privilege was then likewise warmly debated,
the archbishop's power of visiting or the university's ex-
emption &om his visitation ; and though Dr Beal was as
much devoted to the archbishop as any clergyman in Eng-
land, yet in this be shewed no compliance nor departed 30
from the rights of his post and station, nor was any
advantage gwned by the archbishop against the university
till the following year*. I have that case' in MS. as it
was drawn up about that time in favour and right of the
university, which may he of some use, if ever that contro- 35
verey should happen to come again into debate. Had the
university continued Dr Scale in that station a year loi^r.

it might hare l>een for their advantage, he having been
acceptable at court, having had the honour within his year
to wait on his majesty, to preflent him and to bo gracionaly
received by him; whereas his saccesoor did not bear an
5eqaal character. In 1641, when his majesty took Cam-
bridge in bis way to York, notwitliBtanding the Bhortness
of his stay, he did Dr Beale the fnrthei honour to accept of
an entertainment' from him in the college, being harangued
by Mr Clievland a fellow of the house.
10 Indeed his majesty had reason to favour him for the
right he did his prerogative, so zealously maintained by
him, and that in a sermon preached this same year ;
wherein having dropt some expressions in seeming dimi-
nution of the power and privileges of parliament, it gave
*S so much offence as to be taken notice of some years after in
parliament, in a warm speech* by s zealous member of
the house of commons. It was agunst the parliament and
its seeming encroachments that he defended the monarchy,
for he was as high in his principles for the church ; this
30 was likewise objected to him by the same zealous member,
his having a hand in compiling the canons in 1640, which
• though they passed the convocation by a power allowed
by most of the judges, yet were condemned by the house
of commons as arbitrary and illegal.
35 His zeal herein appeared further in his private college
in the solemn offices of religion and in the ornaments of
the chapel, which having been left very naked by some of
his predecessors was adorned and beautified by him'. The
east end of the chapel was faced with a decent wainscot,
30 the rest hung with sixteen pieces of han^ngs containing
the story of onr Saviour, the roof painted at no small ex-
pense ; ibfi bare charges of punting and pictures amounted
to £100 and upwards. A decent table was placed for
the communion with rails and tapers and plate as well
35 plain as gilded for that service (part thereof given by
bishop Dee) with rich coverings of velvet and cloth of
silver, besides the cost that was bestowed about the organ,

tionable, had not the dove' and glorj been added to the
acconnt, that famished Mr Prynn* with an objection, and
might as well have been let alone. Mr Asbton's chapel
(formerly nsed as a chamber] with bishop Fisher's, were 5
now likewise adorned and beantified at a considerable
expense, the particulars too minute to be insisted on. But
that the chapel furniture might be placed in a better light,
a new window was struck out towards the east, the large
window at the east end being somewhat obscured hj lo
painted glass then added for its greater beauty.
It was this zeal for the church and loyalty to the king
that brought his troubles upon him soon after, as well as
upon the college and university : troubles that seem to
have been foretold by a presage or accident, that I should 15
hardly have mentioned, had it not been thought worth
notice by two such great men as bishop Usher* and
Dr Ward. A fish being brought from sea to Cambridge
market*, being cut up, a book was found in the bowels of
the fish, which being a new way of sending books to 20
Cambridge, gave some men a curiosity of looking into the
contents: and being examined by Mr Mead, it was found*
to contain a preparation to the crota, having been wrote by
Bichard Tracy in Henry the Eighth's time, as was supposed.
This alarmed good men, and several accounts were sent of 35
it, particularly by Dr Ward and Mr Mead in two letters to
bishop Usher, who looked upon it as an admonition of
providence to prepare for sufferings.
However this was or whatever it did mean, it is ceit«in
troubles succeeded over the whole nation. At Cambridge 30
his majesty's letters'* being directed to the vice-chancellor
Dr Holdaworth for a supply from the university, the
several colleges contribnted their respective proportions:
from St John's was sent £150 in moneys*, and 2065 ounces

thereof and for his service, according to the tenor of his

Clare Hall, Mr Jo. Barwick' of St John's and others, waa
sent to the king at York or Nottingham, not withoat some
diScnlty, having been conveyed throngh by-paths and
secret passages ; whereby they escaped the designs of
lo Oliver Cromwell, who with a party of townsmen and
rustics lay in wait near Lowler hedges to intercept it ;
and being vexed with a disappointment, he returns to
Cambridge soon after with a greater force, snrroands
St John's college whilst they were at their devotions in the
15 chapel, carries off Br Beale, whom, with Dr Martin master
of Queens' and Dr Sterne master of Jesns, (three of the
most active men in the bnsinesa of the plate) he conducts
prisoners with him to London*, leading them throngh
Bartholomew &ir and a great part of the city to be ez-
ao posed to and insulted by the rabble; where after mnch mde
and insolent treatment they had the favour to be made
prisoners in the Tower. But this being too honourable or
too expensive an imprisonment, after a vast exj>ense they
were pnt on board a ship and clapped under deck, and (if
ag we may believe good authority) were intended to be sent
or sold to some of onr plantations'.
Whilst these things were acting at Londonj- the master
with twen^-nine of his fellows were deprived of their pre-
ferments at Cambridge (whose names being already printed*
30 1 need not mention), the college was insulted, guns were
frequently discharged in at the windows, the gates at last
broke open by the soldiers together with the bursar's
chamber and study door, and a good round sum carried off
by violence by one captain Mason in presence of several

some months were tnrned into a piiaon. And whereas it
had been made a complunt and crime that their plate was
sent to the king, their ancient coins and medals to a great
vaXae were now seized, and the commnnioa plate* (that
had been always esteemed sacred) was now made lawfol 5
plander ; an action so very aacrilegions as to admit of no
excnse, nnless communion plate might be thoaght oseless,
when communions were going out of use. But to do them
all right, I find hy the books' that this was aflerwarde
recovered by Mr Barwick, and yet be having had a hand lo
in drawing up the Qaerela, a man would suspect that some-
what were yet behind.
Though I have done with Dr Beal as master, yet out
of 'a veneration for his memory I will accompany him to
his grave. Banished from Cambridge, be was with the 15
king some short time at Oxford; I meet with him after
only once more in England, when he was named by his
Majesty' as one (amongst other great and eminent divines)
to attend him at Holmby for the direction of his conscience
and clearing of his jadgement about the present differences 20
in religion. Being weary of England he made his escape,
was received into my lord Cottington's family, and at-
tended him and Sir Edward Hide as chaplain in their emr
bassy to Spain, where at Madrid he sickened and died*.
From Sir Edward Hide we may expect the best account 25
of his death, whose son the present lord Clarendon (in
whose custody bis as well as some of Hr Seal's papers are)
gives this account'.
That the doctor not long after bis coming to Madrid
was taken ill, and being apprehensive of danger and that 39
bo had not long to live, desired Sir Edward Hide and some
others of the family to receive the holy sacrament with
him, which he in perfect good understanding, though weak
in body, being supported in his bed, consecrated and
administered to himself and to the other few communicants, 35
and died some few hours after he had performed that last

office. He was very eolicitoua in hta last sickneBS lest his
l>od7 eliould fall into the bands of tlie inquisitois ; for the
prevention whereof this expedient was made use of, that
the doctor dying in a gronnd chamber, the boards were
5 taken up, and a grave being dug, the body covered with a
shroud was deposited therein very deep, and four or five
bushels of quick lime thrown upon it in order to con-
.same it the sooner. Everything in the room was re-
stored to the same order it was in before, and the whole
lo a&ir being committed only to a few trusty persons, was
kept so secret as to escape the knowledge or Buspicion
of the Spaniards, and may remain so undiscovered till the
resurrection.
If he wants a monnment at Madrid (where his only
IS wish and happiness was to be buried in obscurity), he cer-
tainly deserves one at Cambridge, having been one of the
best governors the university or college ever had; and had
he lived ten years longer, he had undoubtedly received the
rewards of his loyaltf &om the king. He had the grant
30 of the deanery of Ely upon Dr Fuller's being nominated
to the deanery of Durham, bnt never reaped any advantage
from that preferment : he had the rectories of Cottingbam*
and Paul's Perry, both of them, I think, in the diocese of
■ Peterborough and in the county of Northampton, and held
25 besides the rectory of Aberdaron without cure, whereuuto
he was presented', or had it otherwise (being a donative)
of the college gift. He was originally scholax of Trinity
' college, fellow and master of Jesns *, where after he had
sat one year, he was removed to St John's. To that society
30 he was a benefactor for some books, both printed and MS.,
that bear his name ; and the two pictures of the king and
qneen (king Charles and qaeen Mary) were his proper
goods, and were demanded* of his successor, but not being

nnder his care, the yotmgest whereof (which ought not to
he forgot) was Philip Howard, afterwards cardinal of that

ter of Pembroke, who was a Worcestershire man ; om
doctor is Bud to have been of the same connty, but by
the most authentic account' he was bom in tiie county
of Oxford.
He was charged by Mr Frynn with haviag been a 15
creature of bishop Laud; that crime was his honour, as
well as the popery' and Arminianism that was charged
□pon him, the tme meaning whereof was that he was firm
to the principles of the church of England. Such Tile
aspersions and odious calumnies were sufficiently confuted ao
by the life and death and suferings both of him and his
patron.
Having been eiwaiyB in business or involved in troubles,
and his last years having been spent in exile, he had less
time for works of learning, of which kind he has left ^S
nothing except some sermons now in my lord Clarendon's
library at CJombury, whereof his lordship has been pleased
to give an expectation to the college, the most proper repo-
sitory for such papers. Amongst these perhaps may be
found his sermon tiiat gave so much offence in preaching, 30
and may possibly offend at this day, and yet the sermon
may be never the worse. Sir Edward Hide afterwards
lord Clarendon gives him a very advantageous character in

JOHN AKBOWSMITH
DE FACTO TWENTIETH MASTER,
Adutted Apbil 11, 1644.
Db Beal 1>emg most injarionsl/ Ejected', one John
Arrowsmith B.D. was throst into his place hj the eatl of
Manchester in the following manner.
April 11, 1644', the right honourable Edward earl of
Manchester in poranit of an ordinance of parliament for g
regulating and reforming tlie nniyersity of Cambridge came
in person into the chapel of St John's college, and did in
the presence of all the fellows then resident declare and
publish Mr John Arrowsmith to be constituted master of
the said college in room of Dr Beale now justly and law- lo
A1II7 ejected, requiring him then present to take upon him
the said place, and did put him into the master's seat or
stall within the said chapel, and did likewise etraitly charge
all and every the fellows, etc, to acknowledge him to be
actually master of the college and sufficiently authorized to 15
execute the said oSSce, notwithstanding he be not elected
nor admitted according to the ordinary course prescribed by
the Btatntea; in this time of distraction there being a neces-
sity of reforming as well the statutes themselves as the
members of the college; and commanded this declaration 30
and act of his lordship to be entered in the leiger books of
acts of the said college, to remain of record for perpetual
memory.

Accordfngly it is entered in the leiger book of acts of
the said college and stands recorded to perpetaal memoiy.
That lord has all the right done him he desired, and has
taken eifectnal care that he shall be always remembered,
5 though he lived to do right in a different manner, bj
restoring' some fellows {beipg then chancellor) that had
been nnlawfiilly ejected.
Upon his admission Mr Arrowsmith being required to
take an oath or make a solemn declaration, did there
lo solemnly promise' " in the presence of Almighty God the
" searcher of all hearts, that being called and constituted
" by the earl of Manchester in pursuance of an ordinance
" of parliament, with the approbation of the assembly of
" divines at Westminster, to be master of the college, he
15" would during the time of his continuance in that charge
" faithfully labour to promote piety and learning in him-
"self, the fellows, scholars and students belonging to the
" college, agreeably to the late solemn national league and
" covenant by him sworn and subscribed, with respect to
30 " all the good and wholesome statutes of the said college
" and of the university, correspondent to the covenant ; and
" by all means would procure the good, welfare and perfect
" reformation both of the college and university, so far as
" to him appertained." And having done this he took his
as place in chapel and lodgings in the college, without observ-
ing the usual forms required by statute, then thought fit to
be regulated and reformed.
The same oath or promise mutatis mutandis seems to
have been required of tlie present fellows (for it was taken
30 by their sncceasors), and seems to have been what was
meant by .the oath of discovery ; for by the general clause
of procarinff reformation hy all meant they might oblige
^em to make such discoveries a& were necessary thereunto:
which with the covenant not being of easy digestion, several
35 of the fellows were ejected, beginning with the seniors
Mr Thornton, Bodurda, Tirwhit and Blechenden, men
of good worth; and others of less name and character were
brought into their places, such as could digest the covenant

and voold promote each a leformatioii as was intended.
Either this was the oath of discovety, or I heliere none
such was tendered; for Mr Ash mj lord of Manchester's
chaplain, who was deepest in these designs, being wrote to
about it, disowns any snch oath tn termini$*, and I know 5
of none other like it in either nniversitj'. But hard things
are usually marked and branded with harder expressions,
and the sufferers might give it a name that was not meant
by the imposers.
Before this reformatiou in the members of the society, lo
the walls and house* itself was regulated and reformed as
a preparation to that which followed. All the decent fur-
niture in the chapel was now remored, organs and pictures,
etc. were taken down, and so much is placed to account on
the hooks for whited walls, and so much for closing op 15
Fisher's and Asbton's sepulchres, now again, one or bo^
of them, turned into apartments, and the dead and living
were lodged together. The cross upon the tower was like-
wise removed, and the statue or image over the gate
towards the street was taken down*, and St John was zo
lianished once more to Patmos ; with good providence, as
it happened, for had it not been timely and seasonably dis-
placed &om its niche, it might probably have been thrown
down afterwards in a ruder manner, to prevent idolatry,
that was then the only sin we were afiraid of. But most of ag
' this, as I said, happened some time before the master's
accession to the government, and is not to be placed to his
account. For some time the sequestrators had possession
of the lodge, and having polluted it (as tbey had done the
chapel), BO much is placed to account* for sweeping and 30
washing it af^r it had been quitted by that sort (>f vermin.
As to Dc Arrowsmith, his government having been
almost a continued usurpation, the greatest right I can do
him is to pass it over. lie was removed to Trinity about
May an. 1653, where he died on Tuesday before I^ent an. 35
1658-9, and was boned in their chapel* Febr. 24 the same

5 fortune than his virtue or choice, for he was brought in at

He was bom at Kirkton in Lincolnshire, was beneficed at

ch&iz than he.
In this post be continned till the reatoration, when a set
of yonng men (for the old ejected members seem to have
S been content with their commons) were bo intoxicated with
the return of the king and fiuahed with wannet expecta-
tions, as to forget all reverence and gratitude that was dne
to a venerable old man and to torn upon their benefactor,
to whom most of them owed encoaragement, and some of
lo them their preferment The same person that had been bo
mnch reverenced by them was now neglected ; complaints
were brought by them and preferred at court against him ;
where meeting with conntenance, the good old man, partly
awed with the terrorB of the higher powers and partly
15 grieved and vexed with the ingratitude of his fellows, or
possibly foreseeing a conseqnent necessity upon his non-
compliance, was easily prevailed with' to resign his prefer-
ments ; a pension of a hundred pounds per annum being
reserved to him out of the emoluments of his professorship,
30 which was duly pud him to his dying day.
The rest of bis time he spent in retirement, most part
at Loudon, wher^ he had been pastor* of 8t Michael le
Queme, and where he had been commissioner at the con-
ference at the Savoy: but either through diffidence of bim-
35 self or for other reasons, though he had filled the chair at
Cambridge so many years with reputation by acquitting
himself extremely well, yet never could be prevailed with
to appear and act in that conference: whilst Mr Baxter,
who knew nothing of an university nor was acquainted
30 with any other chair save th'bt of the pulpit, only in the
strength of natural logic ventured to engage in mood and
figure with some of our best and most experienced divines,
with such succesB as usually attends rash undertakings.

living ; after hie death were published a pretty large volame
of his aerraona in Engliah, Lood. an. 1676, and his lectures
and theses in Latin in another pretty large Tolnme in qnajto
at Amsterdam an. 1679, with a short account of his life
prefixed, as I suppose, by Dr William Dillingham his sue- 5
cesser at Emmanuel college.
One thing may be said in iavour of him and hia prede-
cessor, or rather is a right owing to their memory, that
though they were not perhaps so learned as some of those
that have before and since filled that post and station, yet lo
their government was so good and the discipline under
them so strict and regular, that learning then flourished,
and it was under them that some of those great men had
their education that were afterwards the ornaments of the
following age. I need not name them; Stillingfleet, Beve- 15
ridge. Cave, etc. are names well known, names that will
live in future ages, when tbeir first instructors may perhaps
be forgot. This observation might be carried through other
colleges : Dr Worthington was the pattern of a wise and
prudent master, and was a better governor, though not so 20
great a man (and yet he was every way great), as he that
succeeded him at Jesus college ; and it Uad been happy for
that society had he been continued there nnder a better
title, as he desired', with the same even temper wherewith
he contentedly receded. Nor was this the only loss we 25
aostfuned through the heat and forwardness of those times.
Dr Tuckney died towards the latter end of February'
and was buried as aforesaid on the first of March 1669-70.
The distemper of which he died was a jaundice attended
with the scurvy. 30

PETER GTrNNINO TWENTY-SECOND MASTER,
Admitted Juke tbb 25Ta as. 1661.
CoDLD any thing have atoned and expiated for the
ingratitude of the society towards Dr Tucknej, it wae
their choice of so worthy a man as Dr Gunning; one who
had sudered an ejectment at Clare hall under the u&urpa-
5 tion, and had shewed as much zeal and activity in the
service of the king and church as any one in his station
had done. Him the college thought of, and to make the
election more easy, the king's letters were sent down', not
mandatory (which there was no need of, for the fellows
10 already hegan to he strangely possessed with loyal^ to
the king and affection to the church), but dispensing with
some irregularities or difficulties in the manner of the
choice, and recommending Dr Gunning as a man of worth,
chaplain in ordinary and one that would he acceptable to
15 the court. No more was needful to be done, the doctor waa
chose and admitted master Jane 25 an. 1661.
He had been master of Benet, where he was admitted
Feb. 3 an. 1660 in pursuance of the king's mandate upon
the death of Dr Love. That waa too confined a station
ao for him ; he waa to be placed upon an emineney where he
might give light to the university ; and this society having
been miserably tainted and infected with factious and
pernicious principles, it was necessaiy to bring in such a
man as would effectually tout out the old leaven and
25 restore it to its former lustre. This, no doubt, was the
intention of placing Dt Gunning here, for he waa made

king's profesaor about tKe same time, and sacceeded
Dr Tncknejr in both his preferments. And how well he
answered the end of his coming hither appeared in the
consequences, when the old taint and learen being removed
and better principIeB planted in their place, they quicklj 5
took snch firm and deep root aa not to shrink, though thej
were not long after called upon trial. That matter I shall
not meddle with here, and being now come within the
memory of man, I am sensible I must be more tender of
what I deliver ; I shall therefore give a short account of 10
this great man &om hie own papers ; they will answer for
themaelves.
"I was bom (you now hear bishop Gunning'} in the
year of our Lord according to the style of the church of
Eugland 1613, Jan. 11, on Tuesday at five of the clock in 15
the afternoon, and was baptized by the mercy of God
Jan. 16, being Sunday, as appears by the register of the
parish of Hoo in Kent near Rochester. When I was two
years old, it pleased God to call my father out of this
world. ao
" At thirteen years of age an. 1626 I was by the dean
of Canterbury Dr Baxgrave called out of a private school
in Lenham in Kent to the king's free school in Christ's
church in Canterbury, where I was made king's scholar.
In the year 1628 I was chosen upper victor of that 23
school.
" In the year 1629, being then fifteen years of age and
four months, I went to Cambridge and was admitted in
Clare hall, where I soon bad a double scholarship, one
of the foundation and another of my lord of Exeter's. In 30
the year of our Lord 1632 I commenced bachelor of arts
and was made senior brother. In the year of our Lord
1632 edding on new year's day January 1 I was chosen
fellow of the college, when I was nineteen years old. At
the same year ending at the latter act I was made tripus. 35
In the year 1633 ending in February I came into profit.
In the year 1634 I was at Michaelmas term chosen mode-
rator of the bachelors, and so continued two terms, one

before and another after ChriBtmas. In the jeai 1635
in Jnlj I conunenced master of arts and was Bwom prse-
Taricator, In the year 1642 I should have commenced
bachelor of divinitj ; bat the heads of the oniveisity be-
5 ing carried away by Cromwell, I refused it.
" In the year 1643, May 1, 1 was expelled the oniver-
sity of Cambridge for preaching a sermon in St Mary's
agidnst the covenant, as well as for the refusing the cove-
nant. In the same year I went with my friend Mr Isaac
lo Barrow to Oxford, where I continued to the year 1646,
in which year I commenced bachelor of divinity in Os-
ford ; where I had continued (only going out on Sundays
to Cassington for two years of that time) unto that time
when the town of Oxford was surrendered; whence I
15 came oat with articles (for freedom of my conscience)
which I have still by me. In the Bame year 1646 after
the anrrendenng I was sent for to live with the right
honoorable viscoantess Falkland, where after a month's
stay and an earnest invitation from my lord Hatton to
30 come to be tutor to his son the now lord Hatton and to
Sir Francis Compton, where there was the use of a large
library oflFered me, I "was by the advice of the lady Falk-
land herself in her kindness to me advised to embrace
that other condition.
35 "From the year 1646 onto the year 1650 I continued
at Kirby house with the lady Hatton and her son. In
the year 1650 I was invited from Kirby to be tutor to
the earl of Sunderland with doable salary offered me,
which I refused, being unwilling to leave the place where
30 I was.
"In the year 1666 Sir Robert Shirley my honoured
patron was pleased to settle on me the annaity of a hun-
dred pounds a year daring my natural life (at which
time also my lord Scudamore offered me the annuity of
35 forty pounds per annum during [life] to have lived with
him and read philosophy to him). In Sir Robert Shir-
ley's house I continued ofBciating that whole year until
his death .in the Tower.
"In the years 1657, 1658, 1659 and part of 1660,
40 through the mercy of God I continued publicly offidat-

ing for the chnich of England with mj assistant Mr
William Chamberlaine till his majesty's liappj restora-
tion.
" In the jtax 1660 his gracious majesty being returned, '
I was made his majesty's chaplain, doctor of divinity at 5
Cambridge and prebend of Christ's Church in Canterbnry.
In the same year 1660 ending, I was about Christmas
time inducted into two parsonages, Stoke Brueme in North-
amptonshire by the presentation of the lord Hatton and
Cotesmore in Rutlandshire by the presentation of Sir lo
Edward Heath.
" In the year of oar liord 1661 I was made by his ma-
jesty's command master of Benet college in Cambridge
and the lady Margaret professor, and within a qoarter
of a year after about the commencement time chosen by 15
the nniversity regins professor of divinity, and by an
unanimons consent of the fellows of St John's college,
master of St John's college.
"In the year of our Lord 1669 on the day of king
Charles the First's martyrdom I was by his gracious ma- 30
jeaty Charles the Second nominated and March the 6th
consecrated by eight' [bishops] bishop of Chichester, and
resigned up freely the mastership of St John's, only re-
taining by his majesty's gracious favour my legius pro-
fessor's place in divinity at Cambridge' for four years jg
coming, if it please God I should live so long, which
time his majesty by his special favour had granted me
for the paying of my first fruits,"
The account reaches no further, being taken, as is
implied, when he was made bishop of Chichester. He 30
was afterwards removed to Ely an. 1674-5. What he
says of his resignation is true, he did resign the master-
ship freely' March 25, 1670, and yet not without an eye
to his worthy successor, whose interest being secured,

he more freely resigned. Hia government was generally
good, regular himself and expecting it firom others, strict
in discipline and awfiil iu his looks as well as his con-
duct ; and yet as good men have their failings, so he was
5 not without Bome imperfection, especially in elections,
that were not always the best'. I have heard one of
his fellows, that could neither write Latin nor pro-
nounce it and was not over reputable in bis life and
morals, who continued a scab upon the society (as such
lo vermin usually do) till he waa taken off late to a college
living, where he died a sordid miser in the utmost cofl-
tempt and execration of his people.
And yet this good master, who could consent to such
a choice, being probably blinded with a mistaken zeal and
15 too much concern for a loyal family, when a case was
proposed to him wherein the interest of the chnrch was
more directly concerned, refused his consent, though he
was pressed thereto by a much greater man and the king
himself solicited the affair by hia lettera under seal and
20 offered such an expedient aa might have satisfied most
other men that would have bad less regard for the church's
interest, for the which this good man would most un-
doubtedly have died a martyr: though there was no
need of it in this, case, being of another nature and the
35 thing being dropt upon hts representation of the incon-
venieuces and hurt that might attend it.
It ia pity be did not live some few years longer, that
be might have been brought upon a further trial of his
constancy, for I can have no doubt bat be would have
30 acquitted himself like a primitive prelate, like his suc-
cessor at Ely and others that had been taught by him,
and that he would have acted up to those principles that
he hod so long, so openly and so undauntedly professed.
But it pleased God to remove him from the evil day, and
35 not to suffer his righteous soul to be grieved and ex-
^^sed with such trials as be might have resisted, but
could not have overcome. He died July 6th, 1684, aa
much beloved, as justly admired, reverenced and deserv-
edly liimented, as ever any bishop waa there.
40 It were presumption in me to offer at his character,

after it lias been done hy two of the sncceeding masters,
the one in Latin, the o^er in English ; to whom I refer
mnch rather than to a certain prelate or Mr Baxter, who
have been slurring enough in their account of him. He
had been of three several colleges, this was his Benjamin, 5
his most beloved, and accordingly tasted most of his
benefactions, so well known that they need not be men-
tioned. His books alone were a considerable gift', left
entire to the library, where they yet and always will bew
his name. He has not wrote many of his own, and more lo
is published for him than he intended, a catalogae whereof
may be had in Mr Wood, who has claimed him as an
Oxford author, with as much reason as he has done seve-
ral others. The book or treatise entituled Certain Dis-
guisitiona etc. against the covenant was digested by him '5
irom materials collected by him and others, bnt he and
his assistants, viz. Mr Barwick' and Lacy of St John's,
Mr Barrow of Peterhouse, Mr Ward of Sidney and Mr
Baldro and Qoarles of Pembroke hall, having been then
yonng men, I suspect it was not wrote with the same ^o
strength with that at Oxford. It is said to have been
printed'; I never could see it, though I looked for it
very carefully when his books and scattered papers were
sent into the library, nor did I ever meet with any one
that did. Had it been a perfect work, it would have 25
been more taken notice of and would probably have been
reprinted upon the return of the king. The two con-
ferences or dispntations were published by his adversa-
ries*; and though I have heard that he used to complain
of unfair dealing in the publication, yet he thought not- 30
withstanding the plausible glosses and false colours thrown
upon them there was enough to inform and convince an
impartial reader on which side the truth lay, and that

being secured, he was the less aoIicitouB to do himself
right.
Papers in HSS. he has left in heaps, manj of which I
hare seen, and have perused some of them, and if the rest
5 be like these, I will venture to absolve his trustees that
nothing has been published since his death. Had he
been as good at methodizing as he was in coUectiDg, we
might have had fewer papers and more in print. For
this reason he was not the most popular preacher, being
lotoo digressive and immethodical ; but whai was wanting
in his method, was made up bj his looks, the most grace-
ful and venerable I ever saw : so that though his dis-
courses were generally long, yet to me they were never
tedious, and I could cheerfully attend him through all
15 his rambles, having somewhat in them extremely charm-
ing and apostolical, either ftom the gracefulness of bis
person or the strength and authority wherewith they were
delivered. He has often put me in mind of Qislebert
the monk of Crowland, who being sent by his convent
20 to preach at Cambridge, though he were' rude of the
Mulish tongue (for be was a Frenchman) and was otdy
nuutey of Latin and French, yet he edified extremely and
wrought strange compunction in his hearers. But whilst
I speak against digrefisions, I must not digress.
as It has commonly been said, and Mr Wood seems to
have believed it, that Mr Tillotson afterwards archbishop
of Canterbury succeeded him' immediately in his fellow-
ship at Clare hall, upon his ejectment: that is sufficiently
confuted by the archbishop's standing, and could not pos-
30 sibly be, unless we will suppose him to be elected fellow
before he was admitted scholar in that house. He did not
commence bachelor of arts till the year 1650* at Midsum-
mer (being probably in no very opulent condition], and

without that degree be was not qualified to be a fellow.
But though he was not hia immediate successor at Clare .
hall, he did immediately Bnccced him ia his prehend of
Canterbury not many years after; which could Mr Gim-
ning have foreseen, he would hardly have turned him out 5
of hia fellowship', when he had no longer occasion for it
himself. Nor did Mr Tillotsou theu foresee what heaven
had iu store for him, when by a good providence being sent
forth to seek hia fortune, he improved his talent of preach-
ing 80 well, which he had never exercised at Cambridge, lo
that he became the greatest clergyman in England. Where-
as had he kept In, having then no better prospect than to
hold his ground, he might probably have sat down con-
tented with ench a subsistence, might have gone through
college offices till he was senior of his house, and might '5
perhaps at last have died master of Clare hall, if Dr BUthe's
better interest would have given him leave. This (with
innumerable instances of the like nature) might teach men
contentment under the dispensations of providence, at least
never to repine or murmur at seeming evils ; for no man '°
knows what is good for htm, only this is certain, that what
God in his providence orders ia always the best. And this
might teach ns never to insult a falling man, for little do
we know what shall be next, and how soon he that is now
down may rise above ua. '6
Another great man our bishop was concerned with (Mr
Gunning] was Dr Cosin afterwards bishop of Durham, in
the way of friendship as may be supposed, though it was
not cultivated and conducted in the most courtly manner'.
It was Mr Gunning that had put the doctor upon compiling 30
hia Scholaatic History of the Canon 0/ Scripture, and at his
instance and for the service of the church the doctor bad been
prevailed with to undertake that work*; and being finished
it was sent over from Paris, and the doctor received the ap-
probation of his &iend (as he well deserved) in very lofty 35

expressions. But before the Iwok was printed off, Mr Gun-
ning (who had the ushering of it to the presa^ bad smelt
out some odd objections, and as he was not at all retentive,
sent them over freely to Paris, in the doctor's opinion at an
5 unseasonable time and in no very friendly manner. This
occasioned some expostulations, answers and replies, and
as both of them were naturally vehement in their temper,
the controversy was managed with warmth enough. The
objections cannot be stated in a narrow compass, and the
lo truth of it is, I do not very well understand them ; but as
far as I apprehend, the doctor bad the advantage in the
argument and Mr Gunning's objections (if they had been
printed) would not have shaken the authority of that excel-
lent book. I have been told that Mr Gunning when bishop
ig of Chichester and Ely always had the same objections,
perhaps improved and grown ap to greater strength : it
seems he did not think lit to make them public, and so
that controversy being happily buried, I shall let it rest
with the authors of it, who are now in peace and both now
3o see clearly what one of them at least did not then com-
prehend.
Other adversaries he had to some of hia notions and
opinions, which though they might be true, yet were not
all of them so commonly received. But he was so fair as
3^ to suffer his private opinions to be disputed whilst he
moderated in the chair, where they lost nothing by hia
way of maintaining them, where he met every argument in
its fall force, and never dismissed any without an answer.

25 Hopes that be will leave some memorial at Cambridge, as he has
at Oxford. St John's college has a special claim on him ; if it were
as well famished with wealth as with learning and scholars, they
need not importune any one. They are groaUy in witnt of serrice
books for their choir : tiiey would bJbo gladly receive scholarships of
30 the bp'a foundation. His name occurring in all tiie college docu-
ments naturall; leads them to prefer their request to him. H<^

advisers of tlie foundress ; and now that she and her friends who en-
deavoured to supply her place are dead, Chambre and bp. Fisher

The collqp owes its eiiatenoe to the liberality of the foundress and of

To relieve tbsir poverty bp. Fiaher bequeathed £11 to be divided yearly
among the priests of the college at bis lientali, Msigned his four fellow*
