This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you.

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

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.

That  wants  trtte  vigour,  though  it  w<mts  not  oil. 
Ah  !  how  unequal  are  my  best  returns, 
And  yet  my  breast  with  zeal  and  flaming  burns. 
For  if  my  heart  is  known,  a  grateful  mind 
I  hear,  with  strong  desires  and  unconflned. 
To  thee  I  dare  appeal,  if  thou  dost  know, 
Or  now  coMertCet  thyself  loith  things  below,

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

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'.

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. 

For  in  an  ancient  inquisition*  taken  npon  oatii  at  35

,  BI  JOHH'II  house  OB  HOSPITAL.  15 

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-

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

18  BT  John's  house  ob  hospital. 

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

OT  John's  house  ob  BoariTAL.  19 

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,

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*.

22  BI  JOHN'S  HODBE  OR  HOSFITAI. 

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

21  ST  JOHNS  HOUSE  OB  aOBPVtAI, 

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

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,

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 
might  possibly  lead  to  this,  or  make  the  grant  more  easy;

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.

Si  8T  John's  house  ok  hospital. 

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-

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

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

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

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

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 
every  particular  college,  except  Benet  and  King's  halL

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

ST  JOHirS  HOUSE  OB  HOBPITAL.  43 

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&^. 
time  able  to  maintain  thirty  canons,  whereas  St  John's

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

college,  to  the  great  honour  and  advantage  of  this  uoi-

Wolsey  upon  the  rains  of  that  priory ;  and  the  foundress

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

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

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

SS  ST  John's  colleoe. 

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.

CO  ST  John's 

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

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.

Heniy  Ogill  and  Bobert  Dent,  bachelors  of  arts. 

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

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.

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

Jolin's  college  for  an  obit  to  be  observed  on  such  a  day  as 
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

ALAX   PEBCY  SECOND   UASTKR.  Si 

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,

yre  suppoae  him  to  have  reserved  any  interest  in  that 
estate,  or  to  have  died  in  the  house  that  bears  his  name, 
I  conld  easily  believe  him  to  have  beea  buried  in  the

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,

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. 

It  can  hardly  be  doubted*  but  the  king  and  cardinal

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

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,

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

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

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- 
ford,  so  from  intimations  upon  the  books  -the  caidmal's

S8  ST  JOBU's  COLLEOB. 

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- 
monduB,  LancaslruE,  Derhxae,  NoHnghamim;  e  ^ibua  ad 
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

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- 

'  Statnt.  vet.  Archiv.  colL  ■  Ibid.  *  Ez  ngr.  0^  lib,  mb.

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) 
from  the  bishop's  fall  till  the  king  himself  gave  statutes,  as

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,

^thflil  and  lawful  compatns  from  his  first  entiance  upon 
hia  mastersliip  to  tliat  day,  whicU  baving  been  almost 
twenty  years,  in  such  multiplicity  of  business,  amongst  so 
many  enemies  ready  enough  to  catch  advantages,  must 
be  allowed  as  some  proof  of  hia  integrity,  if  it  could  be  5 
questioned. 

I -meet  with  no  more  mention  of  him  till  the  thirty- 
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

been  prepared  eooner,  and  not  fixed  there  till  this  year. 
Dr  Day  might  not  cate  to  be  upbraided  with  such  a  monn-  30 
ment  in  passing  to  his  lodge ;  it  woold  not  reproach  his 
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- 
tion, and  that  after  he  was  master,  his  services  were  such 
and  the  accessional  endowments  under  him  so  many,  as 
a  hundred  years  after  can  hardly  produce.  He  was  him-  3°

£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

were  called  up  to  the  master's  lodgings  to  recreate  him 
and  the  eeniora  after  their  bosioess  was  over,  and  the^

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 
Longland*.  He  was  chaplain  to  John  bishop  of  Rochester, 
and  was  hts  archdeacon  at  least  twenty-four  years,  if  not  35

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

FiBher  and  Dr  Metcalf,  and  then  under  the  frowns  of  the 
court.  This  indeed  was  a  false  Btcp  and  might  have  en- 
dangered the  Bociety,  bnt  it  waa  rerj  jnst  upon  those  men 
who  had  brought  it  upon  themselTes  and  could  not  bo 
5  content  onder  an  equal  goremment. 

Dr  Wylson  waa  so  wise  as  not  to  provoke  the  court, 
and  refused  to  accept,  and  so  being  at  liberty  they  pro- 
ceeded to  a  second  choice,  and  Day  was  elected,  when  there 
was  none  to  oppose  him,  by  a  majority  of  votes.    For 

I  o  though  in  their  letter  to  Cromwell  they  tell  him  it  was 
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. 

Xh*  Day's  prefecture  here  that  cost  him  so  mnch  trouble 
was  very  short,  having  been  removed  within  the  year  to 
King's  college,  upon  the  death  of  Fox  bishop  of  Hereford 
their  provost  They  had  no  inclination  to  a  stranger,  and  lo 
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 
letter*  to  them  is  dated  Jane  2nd  1538,  and  the  college  20 
answer  signifying  their  choice,  and  that  made  libenter, 
libere,  concorditer,  uno  omnium  consensu  et  assensu,  is 
dated  the  6th  of  the  same  month,  from  which  day,  or 
rather  feom  the  date  of  his  admission  some  days  after,  the 
mastership  of  St  John's  did  again  become  vacant.  35 

'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

excelled  most,  for  it  does  not  appear  that  he  was  any  grest 
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; 
5  upon  his  first  appearance  there  he  pleased,  was  presently 
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, 

lo  By  s  common  mistake  he  has  been  generally  supposed 
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 

20  depositions  an.  1551',  when  he  was  aged  forty-nine. 

Whilst  bishop  Fisher  lived  (whose  capetlanus  he  was 
in  college,  arid  before  one  of  whose  books'  he  has  two 
copies  of  verses  that  shew  him  to  have  been  no  ill  poet), 
he  had  opposed  the  king's  proceedings  in  the  case  of  his 

35  divorce.  He  repaired  that  fault  by  striking  in  warmly 
with  his  sapremacy,  bat  after  the  king's  death  he  turned 
against  it,  and  died  a  zealous  catholic  in  queen  Mary's 
reign. 

In  the  university  he  was  elected  second  orator*  tibowt 

30  the  year  1528,  when  he  succeeded  Richard  Croke,  and  wns 
a  much  greater  man  than  he,  though  the  other  made  the 
louder  noise.  In  the  year  1537  being  chose  master,  he 
quitted  that  post  to  make  way  for  Dr  iRedmain,  then  fellow

of  the  same  college,  and  equally  fit  to  be  a  master :  tlie 
same  year  he  and  Rcdmaia  commenced  D.D.,  and  the 
following  year  he  was  elected  vice-chancellor.  In  1533' 
he  supplied  that  place,  with  a  non  obstante  to  the  statute, 
in  making  a  speech  ot  sermon  at  St  Mary's  on  Corpus  ; 
Christi  day,  and  the  same  year  commencing  B.D.  he  kept 
the  public  act- 
By  his  will'  dated  July  28,  1556,  he  leaves  the  Com- 
plutensian  bibles  in  several  languages  to  the  college,  which, 
though  not  tlie  same  that  are  now  in  the  library,  yet  were  : 
undoubtedly  received,  for  in  an  old  register'  these  bibles 
are  put  down  as  his  gift  to  the  library,  together  with  a 
rich  cope  or  Testment  to  the  chapel.  To  King's  college 
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 
servants;  only  his  sapphire  ring,  the  gift  of  Henry  the 
Eighth,  he  leaves  to  the  archbishop  of  York,  who  had 
been  known  to  him  at  Cambridge,  having  been  chaplain 
to  the  university*  till  the  year  1531-2,  when  that  office 
is  disposed  of  to  Mr  Rydley  of  Pembroke,  as  void  by 
the  departure  of  Master  Nicholas  Hethe  late  fellow  of 
Chire-halL 

When  the  king  had  a  design  of  founding  some  new 
collegiate  churches,  Dr  Day  was  designed  for  the  deanery  of 
Dunstable. 

He  died  at  London  Aug.  3nd,  and  was  buried  at 
Chichester  in  his  own  cathedral,  1556.

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. 

Thus  doubly  empowered,  afler  some  days'  deliberation

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 


»  Tit.  de  cultu  Diii.

JOHN  TATLES   FIFTH   UAETER. 


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 
burnt-

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-

diately  for  having  the  controveTsies  of  religion  disputed 
openly  in  the  chapel,  and  if  the  vicc-cliancellor  would  have 
given  way,  they  would  have  brought  them  iuto  the  public 
schoola :  after  they  had  overthrown  the  mass  in  their  dia- 
5  pntations,  because  the  host  was  not  removed,  the  pix  tliat 
hong  over  the  altar  waa  cut  down  by  a  private  hand,  whicli 
cost  them  Bome  apology  with  the  archbishop,  to  whom  Mr 
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':

Jul.  anno  aalutis  1561. 

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

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

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 

composing  were,  his  Sermons  in  a  small  volume,  that  used

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,

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,

thongti  after  the  cardioara  visitation  they  were  advanced 
to  four',  and  probablj  his  fellowehips  would  have  been 
completed,  had  things  continued  longer  in  that  state,  which 
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

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-

characters  of  men,  has  left  a  different  accoont  of  him. 
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.

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.

JAKES  PIlKDrrOH  TENTH   HUTBB.  147 

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-

has  likewise  published  a  tract  of  the  causes  of  the  burning'

that  bwrnt  that  church  hj  hifl  carelessness,  he  would  have  S

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 
I  bave  somewhat  before  me  of  John  Bale,  it  is  so  full  of  lo 
warmth  and  zeal :  Young  himself  his  fellow  collegian  has 
not  escaped  the  furious  strokes  and  lashes  of  his  pen,  under 
the  character  of  one  oithetT  perteat  luatyeyongeprincockeB,...

if  ike  good  hinge  had  liued  a  while  longer;  which,  I  believe, 
was  more  than  the  good  bishop  could  be  well  assured  of. 
There  is  likewise  printed  amongst  Bucer's  Scripta  Angli- 
cans' a  sennon  of  his  in  Latin  at  the  restitution  of  Bucer 
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

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- 
He  and  his  younger  brother  John  Pilkington*.  were  3"

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

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', 
dean  of  Chester,  aud  November  9,  1567  he  was  collated

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Magdalene  college,  so  another  of  the  fellows  one  Mr  Henry

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

good  a  conrt  there  that  in  two  or  throe  ^ears  after  he 
was  brought  into  my  lord's  aeighbourhood  and  nearer  ac- 
qaaintance  hj  being  promoted  to  the  see  of  Peterborough', 
wherein  he  succeeded  Dr  Soambler,  a  man  that  will  never 
5  be  forgot  in  that  see ;  and  because  the  leTenaes  of  his 
church  were  much  impaired,  he  was  allowed  to  hold  his 
mastership  two  years  with  his  new  preferment.  My  lord 
Burghley  had  made  so  free  with  that  church  that  he  had 
reason   to  wish   to  have  a  friend  there  that  would  giye 

io  him  no  uneasiness :  bow  tfais  man  acquitted  himself  is  be- 
yond my  purpose,  but  he  continued  in  this  church  in  the 
neighbourhood  of  Burghley  all  his  days,  being  never  re- 
moved to  any  higher  station. 

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.

One  Mr  Fleming  a  noted  disputant  of  King's  college

himaelf  bo  well  before  the  patron  of  Magdalene  college, 
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,

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.

WILLIAM  WBTFASKS  SUTEEDTH  XABTEB.  181 

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 
time,  when ...  a  man  of  an  other  humor  doth  aunswere .... 
heinge  pressed  with  the  authority  either  of  Calnin  or  Beza, 
shall  chance  to  deny  it :  you  shall  see  some  ieginne  to  smile, 
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 
articles  were  sent  down,  occasioned  by  his  opposing  them

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 
eat  e  aacria  fontibua  eruenda.  There  is  a  treatise  without 
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 
pen.  If  it  leans  towards  Erastianism,  that  to  me  is  no  ob-  lo 
jection,  for  so  did  sereral  of  the  heads  (and  other  divines) 
at  that  time. 

He  has  been  said  to  commence  I).D.  an.  1582;  that 
mistake  might  proceed  from  a  letter*  sent  by  the  senate 
to  the  lord  Borghley  chancellor,  for  a  dispensation  for  *5 
Mr  Whitaker'e  degree  of  doctor,  which  never  took  effect. 
It  ia  c»tain  he  was  only  B.I).  when  he  came  to  St 
John's. 

The  same  year  be  died  he  was  admitted  to  a  prebend 
of  Canterbury,  where  he  subscribes  Maii  6  an.  1695,  and  ao 
was  succeeded  therein  by  Adrian  de  Saravia  in  December 
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 
Martin  Bucer,  who  was  forced'  to  borrow  moneys  with  his  30

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 
acceptable  to  the  sodety,  bdng  a  man  of  boeiness  and  veiy 
sociable,  and  he*  with  Mr  Stanton  being  recommended  by 
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- 

35  ing  the  society)  and  the  college  had  a  slight  and  crazy 
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

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.

However  in  1606  exercise  was  resomed,  and  it  waa  Boine 
hononr  to  liia  jeax,  as  well  as  to  the  society,  that  Dr  Morton 
afterwards  bishop  of  Durham  commenced  DJ).  and  kept 
bis  act  under  him,  to  the  satis&ction  of  all  that  heard  that 
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

Althoogh  Dr  ClaTton  somTed  hia  vice-cliaiicelloTsbip 
aome  years,  yet  he  does  not  afienrards  appear  mnch  in 
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 
preferments,  heaped  up  great  riches,  bat  did  not  know  who 
should  gather  them,  ior  dying  suddenly  of  an  apoplexy*

196  ST  johk's  COLLEaS. 

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 
kept  the  act  the  same  commencement

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,

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

200  ar  john  b  college. 

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

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 
.town  and  the  lord  tieasarer  of  England  then  chancellor  of 
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 : 
'°  0  ciTes,  cires,  qmerenda  pecmua  primom  eat, 

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 

J.  was  not  his  fi-iend,  as  we  have  seen  already.     The  good

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

tion,  dated  &om  South  Luffenliam,  styles  himself  bis  loving 
parishioiier,  and  by  his  will  he  leayea  £5  to  the  poor  of 
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

5  In  dirines  of  his  time  he  was  not  bo  fortunate,  nor  do  I 
know  of  any  admitted  under  his  long  prefecture  that  wu

One  thing  further  I  will  say  for  him,  that  Dr  Bichard- 
Bon,  a  very  able  jndge,  in  a  familiar'  letter  to  him  gives  a 

lo  very  adT&ntageoos  character  of  a  performance  of  his  at  St 
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 
in  it ;  the  other  is  common  and  will  suit  any  man  as  well 

35  as  Dr  Gwyn,  whom,  no  doubt,  our  poet  (who  pleases  him- 
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-

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

these  timea,  for  the  Bame  year  1640*  a  commemoratioD 
of  benefactors  being  drawn  up  bj  public  order,  in  that

rectory  of  Middleton  in  the  coonty  of  Norfolk,  and  Sir 
Edwin  Sandya  for  £1000  left  by  will  for  a  lecture  m 
metaphysics ;  all  which  seem  to  have  been  lost  by  the  lo 
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 
80  the  matter  continuing  yet  perplexed  and  the  commit 
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

chembiins  and  other  fiimitiire ;  thus  far  pretty  unexcep- 
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

and  a  half  of  plate,  for  Iwth  -which  a  receipt  was  given  by 
the  meBsenger  John  Foley,  wherein  was  specified  that  the 
plate  waa  deposited  in  his  majesty's  hands  for  the  security 
thereof  and  for  his  service,  according  to  the  tenor  of  his 
5  majesty's  letterg.  This,  under  the  gnard  of  Mr  B.  Oley  of 
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

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

lestored  (at  a  time  when  the  king  and  queen  were  leas 
Talaed  than  their  pictures),  thej  hang  yet  in  the  gatleiy 
and  ought  to  be  looked  upon  as  his  gift.  Hia  greatest 
beoefiwtionB  were  the  services  he  did  and  the  example  he 
has  left  to  those  that  succeeded  Him,  Whilst  he  was  5 
master  he  had  three  of  the  Howards'  of  the  Noifolk  family 
nnder  his  care,  the  yotmgest  whereof  (which  ought  not  to 
he  forgot)  was  Philip  Howard,  afterwards  cardinal  of  that 

He  (Br  Beal)  was  brother  to  anotho*  Dr  Beale  mas-  to 
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

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

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

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

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

death  and  upon  an  election  of  the  fellows,  though  not 
altogether  regular:  and  this  too  was  lather  his  good 
5  fortune  than  his  virtue  or  choice,  for  he  was  brought  in  at 
Emmanuel  upon  the  deprivation  of  Br  Holdsworth'  at  the

much  esteemed  and  reverenced  as  any  master  ever  was. 
He  was  bom  at  Kirkton  in  Lincolnshire,  was  beneficed  at

and  propagating  the  gospel  in  America*,  and  promoted 
that  design  very  vigorously  with  the  assistance  of  the 
heads.

a  manner  well  known,  and  the  earl  of  Manchester  being 
chosen  in  hie  place  March  15, 1648-9,  Dr  Tockney  with 
some  others  waited  on  him  on  Good  Friday  at  his  castle  at 
Kinbolton,  being  the  house  of  his  family,  and  installed 
him  there,  after  he  had  addressed  him  in  an  eloquent  i5

choice:  nor  had  the^  then  any  man  more  fit  to  fill  the 
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. 

He  died  in  a  good  old  age*  and  in  good  esteem,  and

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

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.

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-

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.

The  collqp  owes  its  eiiatenoe  to  the  liberality  of  the  foundress  and  of 
bp>  Fisher;  it  was  designed  to  support  50  fellows  and  50  scholani.  King 
Hrniy  deprived  it  of  rents  to  the  annual  value  of  £400 ;  bp.  Fiaher  wa* 
40  constrained  not  only  to  reduoe  the  number  of  fellowa  and  scholars  by  oua 
half,  bat  to  reduce  their  stipend  and  lively,  so  that  the  soholan  new  reomve 
7(J.  weekly  and  expend  i6d.,  the  fellows  receive  iid.  and  pay  6  'dragmas.' 
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*
