 THE 
 
 HISTORY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge, 
 
 WING treated of the Cozntv of Cam- 
 bridge, &c. in a former work, I (hall 
 now proceed to give my readers an 
 account of that famous UNIVERSI- 
 TY, which is equaled by none ia 
 Europe, except it be by her Sifter Oxford ; and, 
 even of b-r, fhe has the feniorit" by 265 years. 
 
 Her firfl: original is faid to be about A. D. 536, 
 when one Qantaben a Spaniard, was a governor 
 under Arthur, king of the South Britar,:s. He 
 fortified it with a ftrong caftle (the ruins of 
 which are ftill to be found at the ibuth end of 
 Grandch Ji. r) fome fay he fortified it with two 
 caftlcs, and wailed it round alfo. Afterwards he 
 procured PbUofopb^n from Athens (where in his 
 youth lie had been a ltudent) and placed them 
 • -'in, by whofe great care and diligence, it 
 
 B was
 
 a The Hijlory of the 
 
 was fhonly after much noted for learned men : But 
 this place was fo ruined by the invafions and bar- 
 barities of the Sixonsj that it foon became (what it 
 ftill remains) a fmall village, called by its ancient 
 name Grantcejler or Granchefter. But near to the 
 former, and on the oppofue bank of the river, out of 
 the ruins thereof (under the Saxon king 5 ) arofe ano- 
 ther large town called Grantbridge ; where king Sige- 
 bert, by the advice of Felix a Burgundian, then bifhop 
 of Dunwicby erected a ichool, about the year 
 of our Lord 630 ; and from that time it flouriihed 
 in peace, till j4. D. 876 •, when part of the Danijb 
 army remained here a whole year, and fupplied the 
 I lace of the ftudents, who then fled. 
 
 Obfervations on the Univerfity of 
 Cambridge. 
 
 IN crder to form a juft idea of an Univerfity, 
 I apprehend it neceflary to obferve, that the 
 term Univerfity is a derivative of the hatin word 
 Univerftas, which is a noun collective, applied 
 to an afTemblagc of feveral colleges, halls, &c. 
 eftabliflied under one government, in a certain place, 
 and fet apart for the inftruction of fludents in the 
 feveral fciences, under learned profeffors, and to 
 confer degrees, or to grant certificates of ftudy or 
 proficiency in the different faculties ; by which the 
 graduates of every Univerfity, arere ceived with that 
 honour, in every place, as they have acquired a- 
 mongit their own body : Yet it may be obferved, 
 that this does not entitle any one to the privileges 
 appertaining to fuch a graduate, in another Univer- 
 firy, till he is admitted ad eundem. Hence alfo we 
 may colled the reafon of this appellation, Univerfity y 
 
 which
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 3 
 
 which may be properly called a univerfal fchool, not 
 only by reafon of divinity, medicine, law, arts and 
 fciences, which faculties are taught therein, and are 
 fuppofed to include the whole compafs of fiudy ; 
 but alfo, becaufe the ftudents, who proceed in the 
 degrees of one of thofe nurferies of learning are ho- 
 noured throughout the whole world. 
 
 Thefe communities, as now eftablifhed, confiit 
 partly of ecclefiaftics or clergymen, and partly of 
 laymen. And tho' Greece was iamous for its Athens 9 
 and other nations boafted of their fchools of the Pro- 
 pbetsand Philojophers in the world; I am warranted 
 by the authority of pure hiltory, to give the univer-» 
 fuy of Cambridge the preference, to all others, at 
 leait, to all foreign Univerfities, of the modern efta- 
 bliment. 
 
 For Paris, that claims the precedency, is at the 
 moft, no older than the reign of Cbanema'gn, and 
 founded by four difciples of venerable Beds, who, in 
 the year of our Lord 689, by the con fen t of the 
 clergy and prelates of the kingdom, was, for his 
 many learned difputationsagainit the heathens, railed 
 to the chair of the Elders, with the mantle of ho- 
 nour, and cap of dignity, in the univerfity of Cam* 
 bridge, afteF the manner of the Athenians. To which* 
 if we add the letter of the renowned AUuinus, to the 
 fcholars of this Univerfity, where he Had been edu- 
 cated ; it will both point out it's antiq .uy, and re- 
 commend a diligent improvement of our time in a 
 collegiate life.

 < s i irg -, rot to unearth Foxes-, or to hunt hares % 
 « let them now ]carn the holy Scriptures, having 
 «* obtained knowledge of the Science of Truth, to 
 " the end, that in their p rfecl age they may teach 
 " others. Call to mind, I beleech You, moft dearly 
 44 beloved, the mod noble mafler of our time, Beds 
 " tne Prielt, D >ctor of your Vnvoerfity •, under 
 44 whom, by the permifTion of Divine grace, I took 
 " the Doctor's degree in the year from the Incar- 
 " nation of our Lord 6qa. What an inclination he 
 " had to ftudy in his Youth ! What praife he has 
 " now among men ' and much more •, What glory 
 *' of leward with God ? Farewell, always in Cbrijt- 
 « "fefus^ by whofe grace you are affifted in Learn- 
 
 But no one will queftion Cambridge's being the 
 feat pf the learned in the reign of king Alfred, the 
 Solomon of the &/.vc#-!ine. And at the Norman in- 
 vasion, it was become fo famous, that the Conqueror 
 committed the initrucfion of his younge ft fon, after- 
 wards king Henry I. to the governors of this learned 
 hod' - , who improved fa much under his Cambridge 
 tutors, that he ever after obtained the additional 
 name of Beauclerk, or the learned ftudent. 
 
 Yet do I not pretend to affert, nor do I believe*, 
 that Cambridge-Umverfity was then endowed, or that 
 it was under the fame regulation, or that its mem- 
 bers were as yet fettled in a collegiate way, ordiftin- 
 gtiifbed by thofe particular habits, as they now en- 
 joy. In aftertimes, fome encouragers of learning 
 built houfes to live in fociety, only each to be at his 
 own charges, as now is feen and practiced in the inns 
 of court in Louden ; and thefe houfes were therefore 
 
 called
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 5 
 
 called inns ; tho* now they are known only by the 
 name ok Halls. At length the Monks, and different 
 orders of Friars, finding their account in planting 
 feme of their young branches, in this learned foil, 
 procured ample foundations for their maintenance in 
 diet, apparel, £?f. as well as lodging. And this 
 proved fo great an encouragement of learning, 
 that in a fhort time all the other hn.s or Halts were 
 alfo plentifully endowed by the lovers or knowledge. 
 Upon this, thefe houfes were called colleges. 
 
 Neverthelefs, if we may be determined by the 
 Statutes of the \Jmvsrfif<, there were fome Provojls 
 and Scholars maintained on their own lands and re- 
 venues before the name of College prevailed ; and 
 thefe Students took fcholaftic degress in each faculty, 
 and went thro' all offices and dignities in it, as if 
 they had been of the fame Academic- Buly, in the 
 fame manner, I fuppofe as practifed in the Dutch, 
 and fome other foreign Umverjuies. 
 
 The Colleges and Halls, as now eftabli fried, enter- 
 tain three lorts of Students : the fu It fort are the 
 greater Penfioners, commonly called le'dnvj-Qomnion- 
 crs, who are mod commonly Gentlemen of i^ua*- 
 litv, or at leaft large fortunes. The lecond fort are 
 leffer Peufioners^ wno are dieted as fcholars, but both 
 of them iive at their own expences. The third fort 
 arc Sizars, poor-fcholars, or fervitors, who may re- 
 ceive fome inconfiderable matter from their friends, 
 or exhibitions left for that purpofe ; but are chi y 
 maintained at the charge of the foundation, and by 
 the benevolence of the richer fort of their feUow-col- 
 legians. 
 
 The Students according to their (landings, and 
 their proficiency in learning, are intituled to the p t 
 grtes of Bacbdor and ' alter of Art. , Rachel r ami 
 Doctor in Divinity, Vbjic and Law. The, time 
 
 B 3 cuireel
 
 6 The Hifiory of the 
 
 quired by the Statutes for ftudying in the Univerfity, 
 before they can be qualified for taking the faid de- 
 grees, is four years for a Bachelor of Arts, and 
 three more for a Mafter of Arts ; feven years 
 after that he may commence Bachelor of Divinity* 
 and then feven years more are required to take the 
 degree of Do5lor in Divinity. ]But in Law and 
 Phyfu, you may commence Bachelor after five years 
 ftudy, and Doftor, after the end of five years more. 
 
 The proper times in this Univerfity for confer- 
 ing thefe Degrees, are called the Commencejnent, on 
 the firft Tutfdo.y in July, when the Mafter s of Arts, 
 and Dociors of all faculties, compleat their Degrees 
 reflectively, and the whole time of Lent, in which 
 the Bachelors of Arts compleat theirs, (if found 
 qualified) beginning on Afi-fVednefday. Which oc- 
 cafions are always attended, with a pretty deal of 
 charge, and much folemnity. 
 
 Every one of thefe degrees have their particular 
 diftin&ion of drefs, which intitle thofe that wear 
 them to certain privileges, precedencies, &V< The 
 Bachelor, which is the firft Degree taken in this and 
 every other Uhiv.rfity, is derived from Baccha 
 La u r i •, becaufe thefe ftudents are looked upon as 
 budding flowers of theUniverfly, to which they be- 
 long, as the fmall Pillule orBAccHA of the Lau- 
 rel, indicate the flowering of that tree, which has been 
 fo generally ufed in the crowns of thofe that have 
 cleferved well both of the military ftate, and of the 
 republic of learning. As for the degree of M after 
 and Dotlor, this fig nification wants no illuftratiom 
 But I muft obferye, that the beginning of thefe ho- 
 nourable rewards and badges of our ftudies, do no 
 where appear amongft authors, being, as I believe, 
 zs> ancient as learning itfelf. Nor will it be an eafy 
 task to ajceitain the original appointment of the fc- 
 
 verai
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 7 
 
 veral forts of drefs, which have from time to time 
 been appropriated to each degree. I am of opinion, 
 that Academical, or graduate habits of Univerjities % 
 are much m re ancient than thofe ufed by Monadic 
 orders ; yet, at the fame time, it muft be allowed, 
 that the prefent let of Academical-habits, arc much 
 altered from thofe worn by the Greeks, Romans, or 
 ancient Jews, or by the Magi in Perfia, or by the 
 Druids in our own Nation. Nor was it pofTible for 
 them almoft to efcape the general alteration, which 
 was made by the long dominion of the Monks, Friars, 
 and Cann-Reihlirs, over the minds, perfons and 
 conflitutions of this land. Thus it is we fee an Un- 
 dergraduate, in the gown of a novice of the Friars- 
 Preachers •, the Mailers of Arts in the habit of a 
 Canon- Regular of St. Aguftinc, a Dcclcr of ' Divinity t 
 nearly approaching to the drefs otzBenedifline Monk. 
 The cap is exactly borrowed from the faid Canons ; 
 and the colour of all thofe habits that are not black, 
 and the fhape of the hoods belonging to the feveral 
 degrees, are only fmall variations from the drefs ; 
 and the large Coul, which, to this day fome of the 
 Monajlics wear, more for ornament than for ufe. 
 But in this thing we are very h;ppy, we ufe thefe 
 diftinctions as the moft pure ages have fet us an ex- 
 ample, for the well ordering the body politic, and 
 not fuperftitioufly to perfuade the people they con- 
 tain any merit in themfelves, or convey any virtue or 
 grace. Some badges of honour and ornament of 
 learning have always been allowed of, amongfi the 
 moft confeientious: and as the prefent habits of our 
 graduates ferve only to convey an immediate idea 
 ol their (landing in the Univerfity upon fight, they 
 are not to be confidered evil in themfelves, nor a* 
 conveying any of thofe luperilitions, which the Re- 
 formation has banifhed from our Univerfitiei. 
 
 B 4 Being
 
 3 The Hfjton; of the 
 
 Being now fpeakirg of the Unvverjity Degree?, 
 I could not omit adding in this place, a remark our 
 of Dr. Ktrgbt's life of Dean Qbl&, p. 121. To let 
 the matter of Po t-Laureat m a true light, (moil- 
 people being at a lofs in that point ;) as it will alio 
 fhew the great regard had formerly to thefe Studies 
 by the Univcrfity, whofe Students to< k their De- 
 grees in Rhetoric and Grammar. In the beginning 
 of the year 113 (ia.ys.Wcod) an eminent Gram- 
 marian, fupplicated the venerable Congregation 
 of Rtgents, under the name and title of Robert 
 VShyt'vgtcn* a fecular Chaplain, and a Scholar of 
 the Art of Rhetoric ; that whereas he had fpent 14 
 yrars in the ftudy of the faid Art, &c. he thought 
 it Hi dent for him to be Laureated. Which pe- 
 ti i Jn bcin^ grant d he was 'after he had compofed 
 ibo verfes, v-nich were tfuck up on the door of 
 St. r'i's-cbkicb) and other public places) very 
 folemmy crowned, or his Temples adorned with a 
 wreath of Laurel, that is Doctorated in the Arts 
 of Rhetoric and Gra?nnar. 
 
 The Unhe'fiiy is a corporation in itfelf, and go- 
 verned by a Chancellor ^ which (till the year 150^) 
 was choien annually \ but from that time (the Unt- 
 ie fity finding it both troublefome and chargeable 
 to chufe one yearly) he was chofen for life, lie has 
 under him a commifTary, who holds a court of re- 
 cord ef civil caufes for all privileged perfons, and 
 fcholars under the degree of Mafter of jlrts ; and in 
 this court, all caufes are tried and determined by the 
 Civil and Statute Laifa, and by the cutioms of the 
 ttiititrfitj. The next Officer is the High-Steward \ 
 he is chofen by the Senate, for life ; tho' fometimes 
 (as in the year 1749) he is made Chancellor, and 
 holds his office by patent from the Lhherjity. There 
 is alio a Vics-Char.ccllor^ ivhn is faorii bito bis Office

 by the Proclors, and is always the head of fome 
 College, and is annually choie on the 4th of Novem- 
 ber, by the body of the Univerfity, out of two per- 
 fons returned by the heads ot Colleges. He is a 
 juftice ot the peace for rown and country, and fome- 
 times vints the taverns and other public places ptr- 
 fonally •, but that is more properly the bufinefs of 
 the next Officers, who are called P reel or s. There 
 are tvvo PrccJors chofe annually on the 10th of Oct. 
 who muff be Mnjlers of Arts, and in Orders \ whofe 
 office empowers them to punifh offending fcholars, 
 to appoint them exercifes, either for their punifhment 
 for lmall offences, or for not keeping their ads, be- 
 fore they take a degree ; to fine public-houfes for 
 harbouring fcholars after eighr at night in winter, 
 and nine in fummer ; and alio to Seek for, and ap- 
 prehend lewd Women, to carry them before the 
 Vice-Chancellor, and from dience (if not acquitted 
 by him) to Bridewell •, they alfo, with two other 
 Officers, called Taxers, choien at the fame time, are 
 Clerks of the Market ; and have cognizance of 
 ■weights and meafures. 
 
 All thefe Officers, with feveral other inferior ones, 
 are regulated in the execution of their Office by the 
 fpecial grants, at fundry times gwen the Uniz'sr/Ur, 
 by our Kings ; as you will find in the following part 
 of this work.

 charge of the Uuniverfity, and the following bene- 
 factors ; and the feveral parts each erected, take in 
 the following order, mz. 
 
 I. The weft-fide of the court, oppofite the eiv- 
 trance, was built by the whole Umverfuy : Con- 
 taining below, the ^Pbilojopbv, (commonly called 
 the Bachelor's : Above, the tphy/ic and Law 
 fchools. 
 
 1. The north-fide, on the right hand as you enter 
 the faid court, was e reeled at the charge of Sir Wil- 
 liam Thorpe, a Lincoln/hire knight : Containing be- 
 low the Divinity fchools ; above, the Regent, and 
 Nov- Regent houfes, which was thought to contain 
 ibmething of Chapel character, and laid formerly to 
 have been confecrated as fuch, and uied as a place of 
 worfhip on particular occasion*. 
 
 3. The fouth-fide facing King s-Cbapel, was built 
 by Lawrence Booth, Bifhop of Durham, Chancellor 
 of the Univerftty, at the charge of graduates and 
 others, as you'll fee prefently : Containing below, 
 the Lr£7c-fchools, where in Term time were held 
 daily difputations : Above the Gra^-fchools. 
 
 4. The eait-fide, or the front next the Regent- 
 walk, where we enter by a beautiful porch or porti- 
 co, built A- D. 1475, by Rotheram, Arch'oifhop of 
 York ; ornamented with the arms of the feveral 
 Colleges, and that of the Univerfity : Containing 
 below on the right hand as you enter, a room where 
 the Doctors Robe themfelves ; on the le!t the Con- 
 fiftory, where the Vice-Chancellor keeps his Courts : 
 Above, a Fair Library. 
 
 This was the ancient ftate of that building, till 
 the aforcfaid Senate-houfe or Theatre was fimihed, 
 where are kept many of the forementioned and other 
 exercifes : So that now the whole upper part of the 
 <uid fchools is one entire room, and uled lor the Pub-

 14 the Hi/lory of the 
 
 Jic-Library of the Univerfiiy, and is allowed at this 
 day to be exceeded by few (if any) in Europe, both 
 as toMSS. printed Books, and other Curiofities ; the 
 eaft and fouth fides, called the old Library were 
 handfomely claffed by John Woollajlon, Alderman of 
 London, and the north and weft-fides called thtRoyal 
 Library, fo called from its Royal Benefactor King 
 George I, (who made the Univerfuy a prefcnt of 
 30,000 Volumes, he purchafed of the heirs of bilfiop 
 Moore, late bifhop of Ely, for i2,oool.) was molt 
 beautifully claffed at the charge of the Univerfity, 
 
 Anno Dom. 1 457. Lawrence Booth, aforefaid, 
 caufed a general collection to be made throughout 
 the Univerfiiy, viz. 
 
 1. From fuch as hired chairs of Canon and Civil 
 Law.

 4. From every begging Friar, eight marks. 
 
 5. From every rich Parfon, a third of his Par*

 6. From Bifhops and Prelates, what they freely

 With which fums he built the fouth-fide of the 
 fchools as aforefaid.

 The fame Hugh de Baljham, being made Bifhop 
 of Ely, is to be reckoned one of the fi rlt Patrons 
 of the Colleges, now in being ; intending thereby to 
 promote the Knowledge of thzSriences in this part of 
 his Dioeeie; and for the Improvement of the Uni- 
 verfity \ founded this College, A. D. 1280, on 
 the Ruins of the two molt ancient Hojlles afore- 
 laid, having been Monuments of the greateft An- 
 tiquity. To increafe the Number of thofe, 
 he had placed there 23 Years before, this Rev< 
 Prelate tranflated hither, the Secular Brothers of 
 the Order of St. John (he Evangelift ; from their 
 Houle in the Jewry, (now St. John's-Cottege) be-

 Place. When he had carried it on about half

 and afTigned to it the Patronage of the Living of 
 Triplow, in this County, he appointed the Bithops 
 of Ely, its nurfing Patrons ; and there are at this

 He was Son to that eminent Divine Mr. William 
 Crafhawe, born in London •, was at lirlt Scholar of 
 Peml roke-Hall , then Fellow of this Houfe. He 
 was ejected by the Earl of Manchester, Jpril 8th, 
 
 1644 ; and was fucceeded by one Howani Becber 9 
 by a Warrant from the Earl of Manchester* dated 
 June nth, 1644. 
 
 He was for a Time put to his Shifts, and at 
 length to the very worit he could think of, \ z. 
 That of changing his Religion. After which he 
 
 fled 
 
 I a!fo find, that immediately upon the Reftoratien, the Fel-

 the Arbitrary and Unftatmable Government of the aforefaid 
 Seaman, who, tliey laid, lived in a conftant oppofition of the

 Cofyns might be reftored to the Mafterfliip.

 what Support his mean circumftances would admit 
 of, but procured fome other favours for him. Af- 
 ter this he went to Borne, where he became 
 Secretary to one of the Cardinals, and at length 
 one of the Canons, or Chaplains, of the rich Church 
 of Our Lady at Loretto^ where he died in 1650. 
 
 He was an excellent Poet, a great Linguift, 
 being very exact in the Hebrev:, Greet, Latin, 
 It ah an, and Spanifb-Tongues ; and tho* a Ferfon 
 of exalted Piety, yet a discredit to this Lift. 
 
 John Bargrave, A, M Fellowfhip. 
 
 He was of the Family of Bargrave, in Kent. 
 He v/as fucceeded in his Fellowfhip, Jan. 
 I ?th, 1644, by one jfames Ball, by a War- 
 rant from the Earl of Manchester, who had alfo, 
 no Queftion, ejected him, notwithftanding the 
 Warrant for his reftoration by the fame Earl, 
 dated Aug, 2d. 1 660, ran in thefe Words ; 
 Whereas I am informed, &c. hath been wrong- 
 fully ejected, &c. 
 
 Upon his Expulfion, it is thought, he travelled 
 into foreign Parts ; for Wood faith, he hath been a 
 great traveller ; and adds, that he had an ef- 
 pecial hand in an Itinerary, containing a Tour 
 through Italy, in 1646, and 1647. He was after 
 Prebend of Canterbury, and died May 1 ith, 1680,

 Annotations on the Epiftles of St. Paul, I find 
 not.

 confirmed the Day after, he had a Difpenfation to 
 hold Brancepeth in the County of Durham, with 
 Elwick EL in the fame County ; the laft does rot 
 appear in Etlon, tho' there is fuch a Town in tl it

 Dr. Cofyn was collated to the Arch -deacon ry 
 of the Eajl-Ridi'-g of York -fo, ire in September 1625 ; 
 and November 7, 1640 ; was inftalled Dean of Pe-

 by the King, Ollober 31. To Difpofefs him here, 
 a Vote paffed December 22 after, but this did not 
 take full Place till about 1643. To the Repairs of 
 this Cathedral he gave 300I. After the Account 
 given of him in Walker, of his being fent for, as a 
 Delinquent, November 21, 1 649, add; it may be 
 cafily judged, in how greedy a manner, every thing 
 was fwallowed by the Party in the Houfe againft 
 the regular Clergy, when, three Days after, they 
 could admit the Evidence of Mr. Norton, a certain 
 Divine, againft him; whofe Son, he told them, 
 then at Cambridge, fome Fellows of this College 
 had endeavoured to feduce to Popery, promifing 
 him a Feilowfhip from the Dr. if he would come 
 thither; that the Queftions in the Chapel, were 
 maintained and held, as they are at Rome. At the 
 fame time the Dr's. Monitapro Sacello where read, 
 and the whole referred to the fame Committee with 
 Smart's Bufinefs. January 19; he was allowed 
 Bail, himfelf bound in 2000I. and his two Sureties

 ted Smart's Deprivation to have been illegal &c. 
 and likewife that Dr. Cofyn and his ether Profe- 
 cutors, ought to make him Satisfaction for Dama- 
 ges ; that the faid Dr. had been guilty of bringing 
 in fuperftitious Innovations into the Church, tend- 
 ing to Idolatry, and of fpeaking fcandalous, fcorn- 
 ful, and malicious Words againft his Majefty's Su-

 Bargrave was Son, probably, to Dr. Jfaac Bar- 
 grave, Dean of Canterbury ', who died in 1642. 
 In 1^60, he was in the Letters Mand. to be ere* 
 ated D. D. In 1642, was made Prebend of the 
 fifth Sta ! l in the Church of Canterbury ; ( as the 
 Dean had been before) and dying May u, j68o, 
 JEtat, 7c, lies buried in the Cathedral there. 
 
 Of fTilsford, the next Fellow, amongft the three 
 hinted at by Dr. Wa ] k*r-, the doubt lies btween 
 the two laft, Francis Wikford, who in 1 66 1, was 
 ele&ed Mailer of C. C. College, or BmneuCoUege ; 
 ( not Chrift as in Walker ) and there died in July 
 16C7, being buried in the College Chapel; and 
 Edward fcislford j the fir ft of which was in the 
 Letrers Mand. to be D, D. July 2% 1660 •, and 
 the laft the fame Augutt 9. 1 mould be rather for 
 the tirft, faid by Lloyd, to be Fellow alfo of Bennet -, 
 tho' he does not fo appear in the Lift of Graduates 
 an 1 Fellows of that College •, nor there an ejected 
 Fellow. The fame howes^er fays of him, that he 
 was active in his Majefty's Service, but difereet and 
 clofe -, and well verfed in the Statutes of the Uni- 
 verfity, the Canons of the Church, and the Laws 
 of the Land. 
 
 Beaumont was fome time Rector of KelJJ.mll in 
 Hertford/hire, ( according to Sir Henry Chauncy, ) 
 I dont doub't, but April 11, 1646* he was initi- 
 aled by the Bifbop of £/y, to the Rectory ofElme 
 cum Elmncth in the IJe; and June 5, 1650, he 
 was collated by the faid Bifhop JVrenn to Graridf- 
 den-Parva Cambridge/hire ; and the Year after to 
 the feventh Stall in the Church of Ely, on the 
 Death of Dr. Collins, Provoft of King's ; but of all 
 thefe, it may be concluded, he had no Benefit till 
 1660, on the happy Restoration, when, July 28,
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 49 
 
 he was in the Letters Mand. to be created D. D. 
 and September 21 after, Inftalled in his Prebendary, 
 which he exchanged the next Year for the eighth. 
 Stall. In 1662, he was by the fame Bifhop made 
 Matter of Jefus College, and April 21, the Year 
 following, lent back Matter to his own Co ; lege, 
 and in 1670, was elected Regius Profe (Tor of Di-

 fufficiency •, at length this great and worthy Divine 
 yielded to Fate, November 23, 1699 •, and lies In-

 THIS Houfe, now called Clare-Hall, had its 
 firft Original from Richard Badew, Chancel- 
 lor of the Univerfity in 1 ] 26; who, being defcendcd 
 from the Knightly Family of the Badew s of great 
 Badew near Chelmsford in EJfat, added to the luftre 
 of his Family, by the Love and Care he had for the 
 Mufcs. e, with the Matters Regent, in the Year 
 1326, purchased certain Houfes belonging to Ni- 
 cholas Thornton Phyfician, (whole Houfes thole were 
 alfo, where now the Publick-Schools are •, in which 
 was dedicated a frriall Chapel, to pray for his Soul ) 
 in a place then called Miln-Street, between Queens 
 College and Clare-Hall ; and the Structure he built 
 upon that fpot, be called Umverjity-Hall, and pla- 
 ced therein a Principal, with fome Scholars Pen- 
 fioners, and fo it continued 16 Years, without any 
 Foundation Revenues. But it being wholly con- 
 fumed by an accidental Fire •, the laid Dr. Badew 
 applied himfelf to the Lady Elizabeth Burk, Grand- 
 child to King Edward I. Countcfs of Clare in

 Clare, laft Earl of Clare, Gloucefier, and Hertford;

 TH E Founder of this College or Hall, ( for 
 'tis called by one name as often as by the o- 
 ther ) was I ary de St Paul, Daughter of Guido de 
 Chaff 1 lion, Eari of St. Paul in France, and of Ma- 
 ry Daughter of John Earl of Richmond, and of Bea- 
 trice Daughter of Edward III. Baronefs of Voijjer 
 and Montenacl, third Wife of Andomare de Valence, 
 Earl of Pembroke ; who is reported to have been 
 Maid, Wife, and Widow the fame Day ; her 
 Hufband being killed on the Wedding-day at a 
 Tilting ; being {truck with the untimely end of her 
 Hufband, gave herfelf intirely to a Religious Life, 
 and applied the greatift part of her Poffefllons to 
 Public and Pious Ules. Among the reft, fhe foun- 
 ded Denny- Abby in this County, of the Order of 
 St. Clare, which having built, endowed with Lands, 
 and filled with an Abbefs and Nuns, which fhe tran- 
 flated from Waterbeach thither ; She Ordain'd that 
 the Fellows, of her (then intended) College, mould 
 "Vifit thofe Nuns, and give them Ghojily Counfel, 
 when occafion needed. 
 
 Having thus compleated and fettled the faid Ab- 
 bey, fhe ( A. D. 1343 ) purchafed of Henry Stan- 
 ton, a MelTuage without Trumpington Gate, and ob- 
 tained of Edward III. a Licence for Building 
 of this College-, and A. D. 1317, fhe afligned it 
 Lands and Manors, and ordained Statutes for the 
 Matter and Fellows, but left the number of Fel- 
 lows uncertain, and at the Difcretion of the Mailer 
 and Fellows, in proportion to the Revenues. Ha- 
 ving obtained a Charter of Incorporation of King 
 Edwara aioreiaid for 24 Fellows, and 6 Scho- 
 lars, fhe founded only 6 Fellows, and 2 Scholars.

 fed, Pope Clement VI. granted them a Bull, for 
 appropriating to the faid College three or four Rec- 
 tories, which they foon after obtained j for A. D.

 the following Bifhop of that See, gave them A. D. 
 1362, the Living ofclVarefly, in Lincoln Diocefe; 
 the Patronage whereof, the faid Foundrefs had be- 
 fore conferred on the faid College. She alfo endow- 
 ed it with other Revenues at Rapingdon, IViffend:::, 
 and Burwdl, befide Plate, Jewels &c. King Hen- 
 ry VI. was a moft Magnificent Benefactor, for he

 CURIOSITIES. 
 
 The Chapel, which is one of the mod elegant 
 and beft proportioned in the Univerfity ; was whol- 
 Jy built by Matthew Wrenn, P. D. Bp. of Ely 3 
 fomerly of this Houfe ; who died at Ely Houfe in. 
 Holbourn 1667, Mtat. 81; and his body, (after 
 it was embalmed) was depolited with great folem- 
 nity in a Stone Coffin, in a Vault at the Eaft end of 
 it. He confecrated it Sep. 21, 1665, being the 
 I eaft day of St. Matthew his Name fake, and de- 
 dicated it to the Honour of Almighty God. A 
 noble and lading Monument of the rare Piety and 
 Munificence of this great and wife Prelate, and in 
 every Point agreeable to his Character. The building 
 was executed according to a Plan defigned by that 
 great Architect Sir Chriftopker IVren, his Brother's 
 Son, who alfo drew the Model of St. Paul's Lon- 
 don. Several of the Mafters lie buried in it, but 
 without any Infciption. 
 
 The Library, ( which was the old Chapel ) is 
 an ck-gantRoom, being well Stocked with ufeful and 
 choice Books, which are as neatly ranged on hand- 
 feme Gaffes. Over the Door, there remains a 
 mural Monument thus InfcribeJ, 
 
 Sifte paulum (viator) ubi longumfyhre necejje evil. 
 
 Hinc nempe proper are tufciaj, 
 Quocunque tc propei as. 
 
 The Hall, is a ipacious Room, and is hand- 
 fomly paved-, in which is often held a Concert 
 of Mufic, the Mailer having a good tafte thereof, 
 and much delighting therein. 
 
 The Master's Lodge, which (lands at the 
 South end of the HalU and is almoft hid by the o- 
 cher Buildings, hit!: fcveraJ good Apart , fonr.e

 of which are Stock'd with Mufical, and others with 
 Mathematical Inftruments ; and in a Ground Room 
 he hath a Printing Prefs with the Apparatus belong- 
 ing thereto, wherein he is Printing his Aftronomi- 
 cal Works. But the chief beauty of this Lodge is 
 ( in my opinion ) the Gardens, and therein the Wa- 
 ter-Works, contrived by the prefent Mafter, (and 
 here let me tell you, he is a very great Mechanic ) 
 which fupplies a beautiful and Jarge Bafon in the 
 middle of the Garden, and wherein he often diverts 
 himfelf in a Machine of his own contrivance, to go 
 With the Foot as he rides therein. 
 
 The Fellows Garden, is a large fpot of 
 Ground, wherein is a good Bowling-Green, but 
 what it is chiefly noted for, is a long and fine Gra- 
 vel-Walk, at the foot of a South Wall, which is 
 counted one of the warmeft Winter walks in the 
 Univerfity. 
 
 There are befides feveral other Gardens, belong- 
 ing to the Apartments of particular Fellows, 
 in one of which, is another fmall and fimple, yet 
 well contrived Water- Work, which is continually 
 fupplying a large Cold-Bath with frefli Water •, 
 the over-plufs of which runs through the fecond 
 Court, and fo into the King's Ditch.

 COLLEGE, I344. 
 
 THIS College, denominated Collegium Corpo* 
 ris-Chrifii, £5? Beatce Maria Virginis, (and 
 commonly abbreviated to C. C. C.) is ufually call- 
 ed Benet-College, from its Situation near that Church. 
 
 * 
 
 The Foundation of this College, had its firft 
 Originial, as follows : 
 
 The Brethren of the Gild y or Society of Corpus- 
 Chrifti, and the Sifters of the Gild of the blejjed 
 Virgin Mary in Cambridge, by joint Intereft, began 
 to build this College, A. D. 1344, dedicating it 
 to the Name of both their Gilds ; but about tour 
 Years after, it obtained the Name of Benedicl, or 
 Bcnet-Cclkge, for the Reafon before given. 
 
 On the third of February 1350, they had the 
 fame confirmed to them by Thomas de Infula, Bp. 
 of Ely. The fame Year, the Matters and Fellows, 
 chofe for the Patron of their Society or Brother- 
 hood, (and appointed him elder Brother of their 
 Gild) the moft renowned Hero, Henry Plant age- 
 net, firft Duke of Lancafter, Earl of Leicefter^ 
 Lincoln, and Derby, the fecond among the prime 
 Men of England ; Lord of Monmouth and Ponte- 
 fracl, furnamed the brave and good Duke, Lord 
 High Steward of England, Lieutenant of Jquitain, 
 and Knight of the Garter. 
 
 Thus being fupported by fo great a Prince for 
 
 their Patron, they not only changed their Gild in- 
 
 t o a College, and obtained a Mortmain, but alfo, 
 
 Idier by Intreaty or Money, acquired of the Townf- 
 
 men,

 men, many and ftately Houfes. Their faid Pa- 
 tronage of the Church of St. Benedicts, adjoining 
 to the College. And becaufe the Revenues of 
 this Houfe were fo fmall, that they could fcarcely 
 fupport the Mifler and Fellows with Necefiaries, 
 he prevailed with Thomas Arundel, Bp. of Ely, to 
 appropriate to the faid College, his Church of 
 Granacbefter. And though from the firfr. Year of 
 its Foundation, the Number of Fellows and 
 Scholars was long left at Pleafure, according to 
 the yearly Income of this College, and conse- 
 quently uncertain •, the Number of Students great- 
 ly increafed, thro' the Liberality of the following 
 Benefactors : In the Front of whom, we find, 
 Elizabeth Mowbray, Dutchefs of Norfolk, (eldeft 
 Sifter and Co-heir of Thomas Fitz-Alan, lail Earl 
 of Amndel, IVarren, and Surrey, and Wife of 
 Thomas Mowbray, firft Duke of Norfolk •,) who 
 added one Fellow and one Scholar. Archbifhop 
 ^Parker, added four Fellowfhips ; two from the 
 increafed Rents, and two of his own Foundation, 
 one Bible-Clerk, eight Scholars of his own Foun- 
 dation, five from Norwich, one from Canterbury, 
 two from IVymondbam and Aylfham in Norfolk. He 
 gave them the Patronage of St. Mary Ab church 
 in London, and procured them a Charter of Mort- 
 main for 100/. per Ann. He alfo gave them 309 
 Ounces of Silver Plate double Gilt, and furrcndcr- 
 ed to them a Lcafe with the Improvement of 14/, 
 8;. yearly, for 17 Years •,. alio 10c/. the Intereft 
 whereof was to find a Fire in the Common-Hall, 
 from .7: Saints to Candlemas; and alfo 500/. to 
 mcreale the Commons of the Fellows and Scholars. 
 He got together a mod valuable Collection of 
 ancient Records and other Manufcripts, all which 
 he gave the College. See Library. 
 
 The College is obliged every Year, according 
 to his Will, to fend one of their Society, to preach 
 
 G 3 a Ser-

 are appointed to be diftributed, which as they are 
 foreign to my Deilgn, I forbear to mention.

 &c. in Letters of Gold, together with his Arms, 
 are conitantiy kept beautified. He alfo by Will, 
 left a ftipend for fix Scholars. Alio Rogers Man-

 9 S 7he H'tjlory of the 
 
 V. Trinity-Hall,, 1347. 
 
 HERE formerly fcurifhed a Society of Stu- 
 dent.', before any College in this Univerfity 
 was erected ; wherein every one lived at his own 
 Fxyence. Richard Crawden, the 2 2d Prior of 
 j£/v, purchafed this Houfe afterwards, in the Reign 
 of Edward III. appointing it an Hojlfc, for recep- 
 tion of the Monks of Ely, who mould come thither 
 at their leifure time, to improve in Learning. To this 
 beginning, Richard Z./«g-,Chancc]lor of the Univer- 
 fity in 1 351 9 Waiter Back ton, Thomas Walfingham^ 
 Archibald Norwich, and «S/wo# Peckin^hall , added 
 four Tenements. Robert Stratton, John French, 
 Walter Alderley, and Peter Littering ; ga^ 7 e 7 par- 
 eels of Ground and 2 Mefiuages, one of which 
 was called Drake' s-Entry. In the Year 1351, Wil- 
 liam Batcman, Bifhop of Norwich^ purchafed all 
 the Buildings and Lands thereto belonging, 
 of the aforefaid Prior and Monks ; giving the 
 Rectory of Sudborne, with the Chapel of Orford 
 in Suffolk, in exchange ; having thus fecured the 
 laid Hajiltr, with the Appurtenances, he next ob- 
 tained of Edward III. a Grant or Licence to 
 found it into a. Colleges which was didicated to the 
 holy and undivided Trinity •, appointing therein a 
 Matte:', 2 Fellows, and 3 Scholars, to be Students 
 in the Canon, and Civil-Law ; and one FeJlow to 
 fludy Divinity, in order to be Chaplain to the laid 
 College •, He then eitabUfhed a Cl.eit in the faid Lin, 
 called Trimty-Chcfi, into which he put iool. And 
 by the Benefaction of other well difpoled Peribns, 
 the Students were fupported there in a handfome 
 n anner. Thus it continued about 2 Years, 
 till a tcmbL i eitiknce happened, which iwept a- 
 
 way
 
 Univerfity ^Cambridge, gg 
 
 way moft of the CJergy in Norwich Diocefe ; info- 
 much that many of the Parifli^ wanted Priors : 
 For which reafon the Bifhop refolved to fount' this 
 College, for a conftant fupply of Clergy for his 
 Diocefe. 
 
 That their Subfiltance fhould not be altoge- 
 ther precarious, he rcfigned the Rectory of Blo- 
 feld in Norfolk, which he then held in Commen- 
 dam, by the Pope's Bull, to buy Provifion. for 
 his own Table during Life, the Patronage being in 
 his own See ; accordingly jjfril 2< , i $50, he in- 
 ftituted Robert Streiton y whom hehadjuft before 
 pointed Matter, to the laid Rectory, on Condition 
 that the Profits fhould go to the College, towards 
 building and endowing it for 9 Years •, and if it 
 was not then finiihed and properly endowed, for 
 9 Years more-, after the lait 9 Years to conti- 
 nue in the Gift of the See. The next Addition he 
 made, was the Advowfons of Briflon and Burn- 
 rr;gham in the fame County, which he conveyed to 
 divers Tiuftees, who releafed them to the faid 
 Mailer of his Haii, to whom the Bifhop, with con- 
 tent of his Prior and Chapter had granted Licence, 
 to receive and appropriate them : And according- 
 ly, j^ug. 14, 1^50; B>iJion and Kimberly, appro- 
 priated the Adowlons which he had procured, 
 to the College ; and Vicarages ordained on each, 
 •to which the College nominated two of whom 
 the Bifhop chofe one. The fame Year Burn- 
 ngbam was appropriated to them, and no Vi- 
 carage referved, on condition he paid a Pen- 
 f:on of a Mark per dnq. to the Bifhop and duly 
 ftrved it by a Stipendary Curate. In 1 3 5 1 , he fa - 
 ther augmented it with the Church of IVocu-dullivg, 
 and after having purchafed the Advowfons referved 
 Penfion of 3OJ. to the See, and a Vicarage of 20 
 • .irks a Year, to be prefented by the Bifhop one 
 Turn, and the other Turn two to be nominated 
 
 11 1 by
 
 ioo The Hijlory of the 
 
 by theCollege and the Biihop to chufe one of them. 
 The lame Year alfo, he procured the Advowfon of 
 Stalbam in Norfolk, and Coaling in Suffolk, and ap- 
 propriated them both to the College. On the firft 
 he ordained a Vicarage, * worth 10/. per Annum, 
 and referved the Hcufe for the Vicars, who were to 
 be inftituted by the Bifhop •, the College naming 
 two for that purpofe ; iht other to have no Vicar- 
 age, but to be ferved by Stipendiary Curates, paid 
 by the College, who were to pay alfo a Penfion of 
 2 Marks a Year acknowledgment inftead of Firjt- 
 Frmts. With thefe, and other Temporal Reve- 
 nues fettled on them, he endowed his College, and 
 got it confirmed by the King, Pope Innocent VI. 
 and the Archbifhop of Canterbury. He defigned, 
 indeed, to have had a Matter, 20 Fellows, and 3 
 Scholars, but his original Foundation was never 
 increafed during his time. This was that 
 Prelate, mentioned in the Regitter of Norwich, 
 who having been a famous Auditor of xhtPope's- 
 Palace, pretended to the King, that he would vi- 
 fit Stephen, once his familiar acquaintance at Rome, 
 and then beginning to be known by the Name of 
 Pope Innocent VI. by which Journey he reaped this 
 Advantage, namely, t h a t he prevailed with the 
 Pope, to have the Redtorys of Brijlon, Kimberley, 
 Woodcdnng, Birmingham, Coolidge and Stalling, in 
 the Diocefe of Norwich , united for the Mainte- 
 nance of the Fellows and .Scholars ; Simon Ijhp, 
 Archbifhop of Canterbury, confirming the fame 
 under his Seal, by the faid Pope's order.

 CURIOSITIES. 
 
 The Chapel is very pretty, but fmall, the Altar- 
 piece is finely painted, containing the Preientation of 
 owSdviour in theTempIe •, which was brought from 
 abroad by one of the Houfe, who made a prefent 
 thereof to the College. 
 
 The Hall is a very beautiful Room, having a 
 fine wrought Cieling, with a Mufic-Galiery at the 
 North End. 
 
 The Combination-Room, is alfo much admired, 
 being a finifhed Piece of Workmanfhip. 
 
 The Library is not large but neatly fitted up, 
 containing, amongft a fine Collection of choice 
 and valuable Books, an entire Study of Civil and 
 Common-Law-Eoooks. 
 
 The Garden is fmall but well contrived and 
 handfomly beautified with variety of Flowers •, 
 The Terras-Walk lying on the Bank of the River, 
 affords a mod agreeable Profpect 
 
 The Court for its Bignefs is as handfome as any 
 in the Umverjity •, nay, take the College altogether, 
 there are few exceed it in Beauty.

 1 1 The Hi (lory of the 
 
 VI. G on-vile and Caiiis-College 1348, 
 Gonvile-HalL 
 
 TH E Foundation of this College was laid, 
 jL D. 1348, in the fame Place which is 
 now the Garden of the Fellows of Benet-College, 
 and the old tennis-court by Edmund Gonvile, Rec- 
 tor of Terrington and Rtt/h-zvortb in the County of 
 Norfolk, fwho, with others, in the Abfence of the 
 Bifhop was appointed Vicar of the Spiritualities) 
 younger Brother to Nicholas Gonvile of Rufhivortb 
 aforefaid, Knt. and that famous Courtier, Walter 
 Manly, Knight of the Garter, born at Camhray in 
 the Netherlands, who married Margaret Brother- 
 ton, Duchefs of Norfolk, obtaining the Grant or 
 Licence from King Edzvardlll. A.D. 1347, he 
 dedicated the fame to the Salutation of the blefled 
 Virgin Mary, on the Thurfday in Whitfun-V/eek, in 
 the following Year, viz. June 12, 1348 ; From 
 that time it was called Gonvile-Hall, where, before 
 his Death, he placed a Warden or Matter, and 4 
 Fellows ; and whilft he lived, allowed them a fufH- 
 cient Maintenance, appointing John Colton, the 
 firft Mafter thereof. By the Statutes, which were 
 confirmed under the Chancellor's Seal, wc learn, he 
 had refolved to found 20 Scholarihips : But being 
 untimely fnatch'd away in the Year 1 350, (at Ter- 
 rington aforelaid, where he was buried) by his Will 
 he left a great Sum of Money (in Truft) to William 
 Bateman, Bifhop of Norwich, for him to furnifh and 
 endow his faid Hail. Accordingly, the faid William 
 B ate ma n, (willing to bring his Hall, near to T'rimty- 
 Hail, which he was the.i building ; prevailed with 
 
 the
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 1 1 1 
 
 the Matter and Fellows of this faid Hall to exchange 
 this faidHoufe of theirs, which then flood, where now 
 the old Tennis-court , St. Botolpb's Workhoufe, and 
 the Fellows Garden of Benet-College are fituated ; 
 and the little Lane on the North of St. Botolpb'* 
 Church, was the FafTage thereto on the Weft fide: 
 but the chief Entrance was next Labium^ now 
 called ft ee-fchool-lnne, towards the Kail ; never- 
 thelefs, they retained in their own PofTeflion, fuch 
 Part of their Ettate as lay on the Eaft fide of the 
 faid Lane, where axe now fituated the Free-Gram- 
 mar-School, with their Alms-houles adjoining, and 
 the Gardens thereto belonging, for other buildings 
 in t. Michael's Parim ; there to build the laid Hall, 
 more agreeable to the Bifhop's Mind. One ofthefe 
 Buildings was the Capital Ivfeffage of %ohn de Can- 
 tabrigge, Knt. and one ot the King's Judges •, the 
 other was the Houfe of John Goldcombe, where the 
 ancient Monuments of this College, teftify that the 
 Schools of Phylolbphy flourifhed in thofe former 
 J)ays. The two faid MefTages at this Time be- 
 longing to the Gild ofCorpus-Cbrilli and Sr. Alary 
 the blefled Virgin, by C< ntract between Henry Plan* 
 tii '-,'tt, fi tit Duke of Lane after, Alderman of that: 
 Gild\ The Warden and Fellows i this Hall, each 
 refignedup to the other,and exchang'd their Rights 
 io the Ground and Buildings, A. D. i 353. Thus, 
 cut ot thele Buildings was erected all that Part oi 
 (ioiroile-ilal! ', next,what is now called Pifs-pot-lane. 
 The Bifhop having thus confirmed the Truncation 
 of the Matter and Fellows as aioreiuid, began to 
 promote it with the Revenues of the Recterks of 
 Foulden and r Viito» in Norfolk, and Mutford-'m 3< 
 folk, for the Maintenance of a Matter arid 3 Fel- 
 lows. And that you may underftand, how favour- 
 able tfv Popes were to this Houfe, the Matter and 
 Fellow fo tar prevailed with Pope Boniface IX. 
 about the Year 130,0, that he grant'-' ! the R< ctory 
 
 ut
 
 1 1 2 The Hi [lory of the 
 
 of MaUijhail in Norfolk, mould be appropriated 
 towards the Maintenance or hereof, writing to 
 Richard Scroope, Bifhop of Litchfield and Coventry 
 to confirm that Church to this Hall. Ralph He- 
 menlalJ, Knt. had before granted the Patronage of 
 that Rectory to this Hall, that three Fellows, Priefts, 
 fhould make Commomoration of the Lady Mary 
 Pakenham, Lady of Pakenham -, of Thomas Pak en- 
 bam, Knt. Son to Mary ; and of Ralph Hemenhall, 
 Knt. and his Wife Catherine AfpalL And tho' it 
 had tx j en decreed by Pope Benedict IX. A.D. 1300, 
 that all Renediftine Monks fhould follow their Stu- 
 dies in the Univerfity Hall or College, neverthelefs, 
 Pope Sextus IV. A. D. 1,81, fo far favoured this 
 Hall, as to ordain, that all Monks of the faid Order 
 in the Diocefe of Norwich, fhould Study in none 
 but this Hall. And for the farther advancing of 
 Learning, the Revenues were increafed by feverai 
 well difpofed Perfons ; fo that 7 Fellows and 1 1 
 Scholars were added to the former Number. Thus, 
 if we confider the Fellowffiips, Scholarfhips, Build- 
 ings, and Stipends of this College, we fhall find a- 
 bovea hundred Benefactors on the Regiiler of Gon- 
 -, fome of the chief of which were, William 
 Pbifimck, Efquire-Beadle of theUniverfity, who gave 
 his own Houfe to Goiroile-Hall, and made it a little 
 College, to be as it were a Holy Colony to the nu- 
 merous Youths of this Hall ; v/here two Prin- 
 cipals were to be chofen, the one out of Gonvile- 
 HaU, and the other out of this Houfe, (called Phif- 
 wirk's Hftle) which were to prefide over the Youth 
 of both Hcufes, not fo much for Governing as for 
 their Knowledge in the Liberal Arts. And that 
 thefe two Houfcs might be the more ffronglv unit- 
 cd, the Mafter and Fellows of Gcmvile^HaU, re- 
 queried of Pope Alexander V. that the Scholars of 
 Phijwick's hoftle, fhould at all Times repair to their 
 Chapel, boLh for Divine Service, and for burying 
 
 the*
 
 Univerflty of Cambridge. 113 
 
 theirDead: without having recourfe tothe Ordinary. 
 
 In this Hoftle, Walter Lyberi Bp. of Norwich^ 
 maintained 12 Students during his Life. 
 
 WiUiam Renele, once Fellow of King \-Co!le?e, 
 and Reftor of Ticbwell in Norfolk, A. D. 138 1, 
 enlarged the Buildings of Phifwick Hoftle, and 
 built feveral Rooms in his Parifh of TichweU, in 
 thofe Farms, which belonged to this EaU\ whi- 
 ther the Fellows and Scholars from both Houies, 
 might retire, when any contagious Diftcmper hap- 
 pened in the Univerfity, or when any of them had 
 a fancy to enjoy the Country Air. This HvftU a- 
 forefaid, (in which above 4C0 Students have ftu- 
 died at one time) flood formerly in the fame place, 
 where now the South fide of Trinity-College (lands 
 next Pi/s-pot-lanc, (which Lane was then part of 
 Gonvill-Hall, and fince erected as a boundary be- 
 tween the two Colleges) and was added to that 
 College as an Improvement, by Henry VJII, on 
 his promifiing the Mailer, and Fellows of this Col- 
 lege, that fome fatisfadtion and Provifion, mould 
 be made them for the fame, and that he would al- 
 low them out of his Exchequer, 3/. a Year, till 
 fuch Satisfaction was made them , but how long 
 they enjoyed the payment, or what fatisfaclion 
 they had for the fame, I no where find. I might 
 here mention the Smiths, IViUcwfes, Knights, Bai- 
 leys, IViUifns, and Atkinfe, who were all brought 
 up in this Hall, and great Favourers of the fame ; 
 Pope Alexander VI, who was alfo a Member 
 of this Hall, granted them, A. D. 1.-02, full Me- 
 tropolitan Licenfe to fend out two Preachers Year- 
 ly, throughout all England; and I think, they 
 might have proved more fortunate, had they 
 known how to have improved thofe times of Hen- 
 ry VIII. to their Advantage : I unwillingly pals by

 one of the Family's of the fame name, who had 
 fettled in Norwich and in different Parts of (he 
 County of Norfolk long before, and was born in 
 Norwich 1 5 10. 
 
 He had his fir ft Education at Norwich, from 
 whence he was fent very Young to Gomile-Hall in 
 Cambridge , where, after he had ftudied lome time, 
 he was made a Fellow, and Doctor of Phyfic ; 
 went thence to Italy, and entered himfelf in the 
 Uni verfity of Padua, a City of Ven\ce. then fa- 
 mous for the Study of c Pb\fic, under John Baptijl 
 Montanus of Verona, the greateft Phyiician of that 
 time : Where haying for feveral Years read Public 
 Greek-Let! ures, to his great Refutation; £nd 
 wrote many, and tranflated more learned Books in 
 that Faculty, on his return to England he fettled ap 
 Norwich and practiced Phyfic with great fuccefs, 
 till 1 55 j ; when the Sweating-Sicknejs raged forely 
 there, which he treated with great Judgement, 
 and in 1556, publifhed thePIiftory thereof in La- 
 tin for the ufe of Foreigners, 
 
 Jn 1557, being then Phyfician to Queen Mary, 
 of whom he was a great favourite, he applied to 
 her lyjajefty for leave to advance the Hall, called 
 GonvilerHall, inCambridge, to that of a College, for 
 as yet it was never incorporated ; having only Li- 
 cences of Mortmain to purchafe or receive Lands 
 Tenements &(, But though the Mailers and Fel- 
 lows might fuppofe themfelves a Corporation, yet 
 tUyhad no other Authority than what Bifliop 
 B fentan by his Power gave them, and that confir-.

 med by the Chancellor of the Univerfity, and the 
 Bp. of Ely, not any Letters Patent under the 
 great Seal of England, without which there can 
 be no Corporation. Wherefore the Matter and 
 Fellows, by the Advice of Dr. Cains, petitioned 
 the Queen for a Charter of Foundation, and Con- 
 firmation of all the Rights, Eftates and Privile- 
 ges they then enjoyed, or might hereafter enjoy by 
 Donation or Purchafe •, which Dr. Quits obtained 
 for them ; who, thereby became the fecond Foun- 
 der, and had full Power given him to appoint 
 Rules and Statutes for the Society to obferve and 
 keep, provided they were not repugnant to the 
 Statutes before given them by Bp. Bateman, or de- 
 trimental to the Perogative of the Crown. The 
 fame Charter alfogave him Power to fettle 70/.

 Feaft of the Annunciation, the Dr. re-dedicated and 
 ccnfecrated it to the Honour aforefaid ; (to which 
 it was dedicated by Gonvile and' Bateman, above 
 i' 00 Years before) and endowed it (befide Plate, 
 Money, Books and other things which he gave 
 now and at leveral times) with the Manor of Crox-*

 in force) ordained the raifing of the Rents, toge- 
 ther with the Quit-Rents &c. to the amount of 
 121/. 14J. id. -per Ann. Soon after which fettle- 
 ment he built the South-Court called Caius-Court, 
 wholly at his own Charge •, and that the Gates 
 might read a Lecture of Morality to fuch as go 
 through them •, he caufed that which enters the 
 College next St. Michael's-Cburcb, to be be infen-

 principal Step: On the other fide of this Portico, 
 are thefe Words •, Jo. Caius Posvit Sapienti^e.

 Wisdom, which every Virtuous Man muft be ac- 
 quainted with : The other Gate next the Public 
 Schools is a neat Piece of ancient Architecture, 
 faid to contain allthe fiveOrders-, and inferibed, Ho- 
 noris, or thcGate o/Honour, which hefuppofincr 
 all who palled it to take their Degrees, had attain-

 ferfhip to Thomas Legg, D. D his Townfman, and 
 lived in his Chambers over the Gate oSlVifdom and

 CURIOSITIES. 
 
 The Chapel is not large, but neat and beau- 
 tiful^ and was rebuilt about 30 Years fincej it is 
 dedicated to the Annunciation of the Blejfed Virgin , 
 the Hiftory of winch is reprefented in a beautiful 
 Picture over the Communion Table. The Cieling 
 is painted with Blue % and beautified with a great 
 number of Cherubs- Heads in Kays of Light. The 
 Altar is neatly wainicotted and ornamented with 
 four Pillars on each Tide, in the midit of which is 
 the aforefiid Picture in a gilt Frame •, over which 
 are painted fevenCandlcllicks with Tapers, and on 
 each fide are curious carvings in Wood, reprefent- 
 
 K 3 irg
 
 134 The Hijlory Gfthe 
 
 ing Flowers, Fruits &c. The Altar is alfo railed 
 in, and paved with black and white Marble. The 
 Table is covered with a Velvet Cloth, on which 
 (lands two Silver gilt Candlefticks with Tapers of 
 Wax, a large Silver Dim, two beautiful Velvet 
 Cufliions, on each a Common-Prayer-Book, the 
 Cloth and Cufhion on the Litany-Defk, as alib 
 rhofe of the Mailer's and Prefident's Seats, are of 
 the fame, and all fringed with Gold. Over the 
 Antichapel is a neat Gallery, where the Matter's 
 Servants may hear Divine-Service. 
 
 In the Antichapel lies buried Walter Stubbe, A. 
 M. Fellow, he died June 8, 1 5 14. Cujus Ani- 
 me ■propicietur Dens. 
 
 The Stone which covered the High- Altar before 
 the Reformation, and hath a Crofs cut at each cor- 
 ner, lies here. 
 
 In this Chapel is a Mural Monument near the 
 Altar, for William Webb, of Dotfetjhire, who mar- 
 ied Elizabeth, Sifter German to Dr. Branthwait, 
 Matter here: He was inrolled here at 13 Years of 
 Age, and was afterwards four Years at Oxford: 
 He died June 27. 161 3. 
 
 Over the bottom Arms (for there is a Coat of 
 various Anns at the top of the Monument^ are the 
 following Lines •, 
 
 A richer We bb, than any Art can weave y 
 The Soul that Faith to Chrift makes firmly cleave, 
 This Webb can Death or Devils /under or untwift, 
 For Chrift and Grace, both groundwork are, and Lift. 
 
 On the North fide of the Chapel near the Weft 
 end, is another Mural Monument for Stephen Perfe, 
 (See Benefactors) in the middle of an infenption, 
 (too Jong for me to incert) are thefe fix Lines in 
 Englifh, (fuch as it is) and which I thought proper

 The Lodge is but final], yet hath feveral pret-

 This College being furrcunded 'with Lanes on

 thought to contain much Garden Ground, yet, be- 
 fides the Garden belonging to the Mailer, the 
 Fellows have a fmall one, or rather Orchard •, and 
 the Court next the Street (for it has three) is hand- 
 fomely planted with Lime-Trees. 
 
 This College is particularly noted for its many 
 Felttval, and Commemoration-Days, when they 
 commonly make good cheer. 
 
 REFORMATION, 1613.

 Thomas Batchcroft, D. D. Mafterfhip. 
 He had not been difpofefled when the Quere- 
 la was publifhed: However {fays Walker) I find 
 by the Copy of a Letter, from the Earl of Man- 
 chefier, to the Sequeftrators of the County of Cam- 
 bridge, bearing dzxsjan. 1, 1643; that Dr. Batch- 
 er of t\ Eftate in Milton, had been put under Sequeft- 
 ration ; v/hich that Earl requefted the Sequeftrators 
 to releafe. What effetf: the Letter had I know not, 
 this is certain •, that fome of his Goods had alfo 
 been plundered, which he redeemed again for 20/. 
 as by the receipt for that Money (dated Feb. 25, 
 1644) doth appear. About the fame time alfo 
 ("which was the time when this Univerfity was un- 
 der Reformation) Dr. Batchcroft was, as I take it, 
 under Sentence of Se que ft ration from his Head/hip ; 
 but by fome means or other made fhift to continue 
 in Poffefilon of it, untill the Year 1 649 • tho' ma- 
 ny are apt to think he complied too much with the 
 times, which was the chief reafon of his keeping 
 poffeffion of the Mafterfhip fo long. He was dif- 
 pofTeffed by the Parliament April 13, 1649, and 
 reftored in 1 660, but refigned the fame Year, and 
 returning to his Relations at Wangford in Suffolk, 
 there died, and was buried in 1662: He died very 
 rich, and defigncd to have made the College his 
 Heir, if it had not been for his ill treatment by 
 fome of the Fellows, and his ejedtment from the 
 Mafterfhip, but as it was, he left them a fmall 
 Eftate of 9/. a Year. 
 
 Salter, A. M. Fellowfhip. 
 
 He was ejecl-ed Feb. 15, 1644; and one Aw- 
 arder Gib/on placed in his room, this Gibfon was a

 * Richard London, A. M. Fellovvfhip. 
 He was at that time abfent, upon a travelling 
 Fellowfhip, and Studying Phyfic. 
 
 Francis Marjh, A. M. Fellowship. 
 
 In Kennel's Regifter 870, mention is made of 
 one Marjh a Senior Fellow ejected, and reftored 
 in 1660, being then in Ireland, where he after be- 
 came Dean of Armagh, and at length Archbp. & 
 Dublin. 
 
 Richard IVaifon, A. M. Fellowfhip. 
 AND 
 
 Matter of the Free-Grammar- School at C 
 ridge. 
 
 In 1641 he had preached a Sermon at St. Ma* 
 ry s touching Schifm; which gave fuch offence to 
 the Godly ol thofc times, that when the Reforma- 
 tion of this Univerfity came on, they took care to 
 difpofefs him of both. To avoid their Barbarities 
 he tied to France, where he was Patroniz'd by Sir 
 Richard Brczin, and was one of thofe EngH/b Di- 
 vines, who did many times, argue with the con- 
 traryParty,concerning theVifibility of theirChurch. 
 He was ibmetime alio Chaplain to the Lord Hop- 
 ton. In 1 661 returning to England, he became 
 Chaplain to the Duke of York-, D. D. Reftor of 
 Pewfy in IVillfhire, Prebend of Warminfter, then 
 of Bitton, in the Church of Salisbury, and died in 
 1684. He was a learned Man, and pubHfhed fe-

 Robert Sherringham, A: M. Fellowship. 
 
 His name occurs not in the Lift at the end of the 
 Querela •, but JVocd faith, that he was ejected, or 
 at lead left his Fellowfhip in 1643, (but that is a 
 miftake, for I find him Proctor of this Univerfity 
 in 1644) and that his quitting the College, was in 
 effect, tho' not in form, an ejectment appears be- 
 yond contradiction, by his being reftored in 1660. 
 
 He was as Wood thinks, a Native of the County 
 of Cambridge. When he quitted the Univerfity, 
 he retired firft to K L'ondon 7 then to Holland, where 
 he taught the Hebrew and Arabic Tongues. He 
 was afterwards reinftated in his Fellow/hip, and 
 lived in a very retired and fludious condition ; and 
 died in College 1667. He was a moil: excellent 
 Linguift, efpecially for the Oriental and Gothic 
 Languages •, as alfo admirably well verfed in the O- 
 riginal Antiquities of the Englijh Nation \ which 
 fully appears in his Book Tie Anglicorum Gentis 0- 
 rigine. 
 
 Charles Scarborough^ A. M. Fellowihip. 
 
 After his ejection he retired to Oxford, where he 
 was created M. D. in 1 646. At the fame time 
 alfo he had a Teftimonial from the Great Dr. Her- 
 vey, of his being well learned in Phyfic, Pbilofopby, 
 and Mathematics, and was afiifting to the Dr. in 
 Writing his Book De Generatione animalium. Af- 
 terwards he became celebrated for his Skill in A- 
 natomy : One of the College of Phyficians, princi- 
 pal Phyfician to Charles II. (who Knighted him) 
 and to the Duke of Tork, in whofe fervice he con- 
 tinued after that Prince came to the 'Throne. He

 VII. Kings College, 1441. 
 
 KING HENRY VI. firftfounded this 
 College on Feb. 12th, in the 19th Year of 
 his Reign J.D. 1441 -, and dedicated it to the Vir- 
 gin Mary, and St. Nicholas (his birth happening 
 that day) where he placed a Rector and 12 Scho- 
 lars, more or lefs, as the Rents would bear. ( Jiob» 
 Kirby and Nicholas Hatclyffe being two or the firft 
 twelve) within the Compafs of which College, 
 there were in thofe ancient days, two famous Chur- 
 ches, one of St. Nicholas, the other of St. John 
 Baplift, or Zacbary^ where afterwards flood St. 
 Aiigu 'Jlins-HaUy no inconfiderable Hcftle, and a 
 Houfe, called the Houfe of God. But in 144?, he' 
 quite changed its Form and Name, placing there- 
 in a Provofl, (before called a Rector) 70 Fellows 
 and Scholars, 10 Priefrs, 6 Clerks, a Mufic Mafc 
 ter, or Organift, :6 Choirillcrs, 16 Officers of the 
 Foundation, 1 2 Servitors for the Senior Fellows, 
 and 6 poor Scholars •, in all 1 40. Calling it the 
 College of the Blejjed Virgin Mary; and the Glo- 
 rious ConfeJJor St Nicholas -, but now known by the 
 name of Kings-College. But that the laid Prince's 
 Piety might be the more confpicuous, he did not 
 fettle the College, and finifh the Kitchen, to feed 
 their Bodies -, but lirfl began to build the Chapel, 
 to feed their Souls with Heavenly Food. He de- 
 figned the magnificent Structure of the College 
 mould be Quadrangular, according to the Plan 
 hereafter mentioned ; but being involved in the

 CURIOSITIES. 
 
 The Chapel is a Gothic Building, and one of 
 the moft fumptuous Edifkies in the World, (being 
 304 Feet from Eaft to Weft, 73 from North to 
 South, and from the Ground to the top of the 
 Battlements pi Feet : At every Corner is an Oc- 
 tagon Tower, terminating in a Dome, and having 
 winding Stairs leading into the fame. The Whole 
 is of Freeftone, every whrre beautifully carved, 
 and is thought to be the largeft Room in the 
 W T orld, whole Roof is not fupported by Pillars. It 
 is covered with a Stone Arch, and that by a Tim- 
 ber one well Leaded, and room enough between 
 each for a tall Man to go upright. On the North 
 and South Side is a Porch and nine fmall Chapels, 
 each of which had its Altar before the Reformati- 
 on ;bu*t are now ufed as burial Places, except thole 
 on the South Side ; fome of which ferve tor the 
 
 Library
 
 Univerfity ^Cambridge. 157 
 
 Library, Veftry, Muniment Room, &c. This 
 Chapel is dedicated to the Honour of the Blejfed 
 Virgin and St. Nicholas . Having pulled down a 
 Church dedicated to the latter, on whofe burial 
 Ground this Chapel is built. Fuller in his Hiftory 
 of Cambridge, fays that it is one of the rareft Fa- 
 brics in Cbrtftendont, wherein the Stone - work, 
 Wood- work, and Glafs-work contend, which mod 
 deferves Admiration •, yet the firft generally car- 
 rieth away the Credit, (as being a Stone Henge 
 indeed J fo geometrically contrived, that volumous 
 Stones mutually fupport themielves in the arched 
 Roof, as if Art had made them forget Nature, 
 and weaned them from their fondnefs to defcend 
 to their Centre. No wonder then if this Chapel, 
 fo rare a Structure, was the Work of three fuccel- 
 five Kings, Henry VI. who founded, the VII. who 
 farthered, the VIII. who finilhed it ; but the un- 
 timely Death, (or rather depofing) of King Henry 
 VI. hind red the fame. This Chapel was confecrated 
 in M43, by the Bps. of Salisbury and Lincoln, it 
 being then lit for prefcnt ufe, tho not fitted up in 
 the Manner it was afterwards and now is. See 
 Henry VPs Will relating to this Chapel, at the End 
 of this College, by which you will find, it would 
 have been much more grand, had the Veftry, 
 Cloifter, and Tower been built, which was never 
 done, tho the five Bells definged to be hung in the 
 Tower, were afterwards put up in a wooden One, 
 built near the Weft End of the Chapel, which, 
 with the Weight of the Bells and the Inclemen- 
 cy of the Weather foon decayed and fell down, 
 and the Bells (which were counted the five lars 
 in England) have ever fince ftood on the Floor in 
 the Anti-Chapel, being fent (as it is did) as a 1 
 lent to the rounder, by J • fIL about 
 
 1456.

 much better than common) tho' I can't fay, (but 
 do believe) the College cannot fell them without 
 leave from the Crown, and I alfo believe if his 
 Maiefty was informed the harm they do by ft anding 
 there in finking the Floor, or the little fervice they 
 are of, he would readily Confent to their being fold, 
 and the Money arifing thereby, laid out about the

 more proper.

 The Windows are extremely beautiful of painted 
 Glafs, except the Weft Window, which ibme 
 think was deftroyed by the Rebejs in the Civil 
 Wars, but why that in particular, when the reft 
 elcaped, I can't Account tor (but Mr. Smitbone of 
 the preicnt Fellows told me, that none of the Glafs 
 belonging to this Chapel was taken down at that 
 Time and indeed I think if it was, and buried, as 
 fome lay it was) it would be almott impolTible 
 to place it in its proper order again : They con- 
 tain the old and new Teitament, and the 
 Chapel Clerk, for a fmall Gratuity, will explain to 
 any one that goes to fee the Chapel, their feveral 
 Meanings,

 Lloyd feems to make Mr. John Pearfon (after- 
 wards the moft learned Bp. pf Cb&fter ) one of the 
 ejected Fellows of this College ; but Walker doubts 
 it is a miftake. 
 
 The reafon why fo few Fellows were ejected 
 from this Houfe was, that Dr. Whicbcott- the new 
 Provoft, as he had never taken the Covenant him- 
 felf, fo by the particular Friendfhip which he had 
 with fomeof the chief of the Fifitors, prevailed to 
 have the greateft part of the Fellows of the College 
 exempted from that ImpcfUion, and preferved 
 them in their Places. 
 
 But before I finally take my leave of this Col- 
 lege, I will here prefent you with the Will of Hen- 
 ry VI. touching the very Plat of this College, and 
 fuppoiing, that the reft of the College had pro- 
 ceeded according to the Chapel, as his full intent 
 and meaning was, (had he not been hindered as a- 
 (orefaid) the like would fcarce have any where 
 been equalled. The College was begun in his 
 time, and finifhed fo far, that in the Year 1443, 
 the Cemitery, or Church-Yard, the Altar, &V. .as 
 the manner then was, were cofecrated by the Bp.*. 
 of Lincoln and Salisbury. The Words of the Will 
 
 are thus :

 norite Friar, a moft worthy and difcreet Man i 
 who being Rector of the Church of St. Botolpb's 
 m Cambridge, was by the Lady Margaret, made 
 the firft Maimer thereof. He having continued 36 
 Years in the Mafterfhip, and greatly fetting his 
 Affections upon the fame, not only begged great 
 Sums of Money, or the moft generous of the No- 
 bility ; but prevailed with many others to favour 
 thisHoufe; particularly George Plantagenet, Duke 
 of 'Clarence; the Lady Cicely, Dutchefs of York, 
 Daughter to Ralph Nevile, firft; Earl of IVeftmor- 
 land, Wife of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York ; 
 the moft illuftrious Ladies Margaret Roos, Joanna 
 Inglethorp, and Joanna Borough, who perhaps, 
 Iook'd the more kindly on this College, becaufe 
 two Princely Ladies had led the way. But the 
 firft in this Roll of Benefactors, is Marmaduke 
 Lumly, of the ancient Family of the Barons Lumly, 
 Chancellor of Cambridge in 1 42 8 , Bp. of CarUfle in 
 1430, and cf Lincoln in 1450; who, be fides a 
 great number of Books, gave 200 Marks. And, 
 what is more to be admired ; Richard Plantagenet, 
 Dnke of G'.oucejler, afterwards known bvthe nanie 
 of Richard III. (tho* he fided with the Duke of 
 York) as aifo his Wife Anne, fecond Daughter and 
 Co-heir to Rj chard Nevile, the Renowned Earl of 
 Warvjick and Salisbury, (at the Suit of the faid An-

 College, Priefts, Fellows and Polleflions. And 
 that he might, (as he vainly thought) by ibme Pi- 
 ous Artifice, conceal or at leaft extenuate the Bl - 
 rriifb he had incurr'd by the Murder of his Ne- 
 phews, he gave to this College, that great Patri- 
 mony of John Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, with all 
 his Lordihips Manors, Caftles and Fees, becaufe 
 he made ^t. Michael's Mount in CorwwaU, the

 In the Body of the Chapel is an ancient St 
 which hath loft all its BraiFes, exci pt a Label, a 
 that imperfect. 
 
 The
 
 86 r The Hi/lory of the 
 
 The Half, is (for its bignefs) one of the pret- 
 tied: in the Univerfity, and as handfomely fitted 
 up. 
 
 The Lodge is over the North and Welt Sides 
 of the Cloiiter, and contains many good Apart- 
 ments, efpecially the long Gallery, which is hung 
 round with very ancient Pictures of great Perfona- 
 ges, and is the whole lengrh of the North fide of 
 theCloifber-, and an otherRoom in theLodge, where 
 the Mailer and Fellows meet on College Affairs, is 
 alfo beautified with many good Portraits. 
 
 The Gar dens belonging to this College arefi- 
 tuated on both fides of the Cam, having a Bridge 
 of communication between them, they are very 
 extenfive, and neatly kept i having fine Walks, 
 both of Grafs and Gravel, with a very good Bow- 
 ling-Green, all which, with he pleafant gliding of 
 the River, on whofe Banks they are fituated, make 
 it a moft agreeable Place. 
 
 The Combin at'on is a very good RQom, at 
 the North end of the Hall. 
 
 The Bridge from the Goifter to the Stable &c. 
 which was wholly Rebuff A. D. 1746; may 
 without Flattery, be efteemed one of the moft cu- 
 rious pieces of Carpentery of this kind in England, 
 it contains in length upwards of 50 Foot, being of 
 one Arch) compofed of Timbers curioufly joined 
 together, and lupported on Abutments of Ruftic 
 Stone-work, between which is a paffage tor the 
 Cam, 40 Foot in the clear, and or inch heigth, 
 chat the Waters in a common Flood, cannot reach 
 the lowed Timbers thereof. 
 
 The Sundial, on the North fide of the princi- 
 pal Court, and under the Clock-Dial-, is counted 
 a Curiofity, being beautifully ornarnentul with va- 
 riety of uleful Furniture; the whole bein^ the work

 mediately after, (in revenge for his miffing the U~ 
 niverfity- Plate, he had way-laid in its pafTage to 
 the King) and kept there clofe confined fome 
 Years in the Tower, and other Prifons, and efpeci- 
 ailyin the noifome Hold of a Ship, in which lafiY 
 they were (hut up by order of the Pari. Augufl u, 
 1644; and there was a defign of felling the Prifo- 
 ners for Slaves to Turkey y or the Plantations in A- 
 merica. — «- In the clofe of his Character by Lloyd, 
 he adds ; that he had bred up his College fo well 
 in the Principles of Religion and Loyalty, that not 
 one there, from the higheft to the loweft, fubmit- 
 ted to the Ufurpers, there being fo thorough a Re- 
 formation, that neither Matter, Fellow, or Scho- 
 lar, were left of the Foundation. He lived 
 
 to be reftored Aug. 3, 1660 ; (fee Mailers,) 
 
 The firft thing I meet with of him, worthy of 
 note, is, that in 1627, (according to Wood) he be- 
 came Chaplain to Archbp. Laud, and from his fer- 
 
 vice preferred to this IVJ atterfhip. Before the 
 
 breaking out of the Rebellion, he had rendred him- 
 felf obnoxious to the Party, by licenfing a Book 
 of Dr. Jackfins, and Preaching a Sermon of his 
 own, againft the Predejtinarian DoRrine : And af- 
 ter the Rebellion broke out, he was very active in 
 tranfmitting the Univerfity-Plate to his Majefty. 
 He was ejected and hurried to London as afbrefaid, 
 and ufed in the Barbarous manner, you will find 
 under the firft named Dr. (whom fee at Jefus-Col- 
 lege) Befides which, he underwent feveral Suffer- 
 ings peculiar to himfelf, but to give a lift of them, 
 together with the many Accufations laid to his 
 charge, would fwell my Work, much beyond the 
 bounds 1 have prefcribed myfelf, (all which you 
 may lee more at large in Walker* % Sufferings of the 
 Clergy.) 
 
 Many and grievous had been the Sufferings of 
 lliis great Man ! which he underwent with great

 Courage and Conftancy, even after more than five 
 Years Miferies of Prifons and Plunderings! But 
 they ended not here •, for when he at length obtain- 
 ed nis Liberty (through the Intereft of his Friends 
 and his long Petition to the Lords (tfc. ) he was for- 
 ced to fly to France^ where he continued till the 
 Reft oration, when he returned with his riajeftx, and 
 became Dean of Ely ; and was alfo reftored to his 
 Mafterfnip. During his Banifhment, he joined 
 neither with the Calvunlls nor Papifts in their Com- 
 munion ; but with the Congregation of old Englifh 
 and Primitive Proteilants only. And by his regular 
 Life, and good Doctrine, he reduced fome Recitfants 
 to, and confirmed more Doubters in the Proteflar.t 
 Religion. And notwithstanding the reproach of 
 Pofery, and other Accufations call on the Regular-? 
 Oergy. and on this worthy Dr. in particular, by 
 Prynn; tis well known, that he had honourable and 
 advantagious Offers made him by fome of the Ro- 
 man Communion, which he rejected with this An- 
 fwer; That lie had rather be a poor Son of the Af- 
 flitled, but Primitive Church of England, than a 
 rich Member of the flour ijhing, but corrupt Church 
 of Rome. 
 
 He was excellently well fkilled in the Canon, 
 Civil, and Common Law ; was a Perfon of ftricl: 
 Rules in his Converfation, faith Lloyd; a Godly 
 Man, faith Wood •, agreable to that of his Epitaph, 
 Rigidepius vir. et fevere Juftus ; and was efteemed 
 in Cambridge, a Perfon of fuch eminent Worth and 
 Abilities, as rendered him above the Reach of Com- 
 mendation ; notwithstanding what Prynn hath faid 
 of him in his Canterbury' s-Doom.

 This Chapel was Confecrated Sept. 1, 1704. 
 The Confecration Sermon was Preached by John 
 Tjem % E. D. Fellow •, and afterwards Bp. of AV- 
 wicb ; which Sermon was Printed, with the form 
 ci its Confecration at the End of it. 
 
 The JLi B R. a r y, which is over the Hall and 
 Chapel, is a large Room, and well Gaffed, and is 
 capable of holding many more Books than it now 
 has -, tho* it is far from being wanting in many va- 
 luable ones. 
 
 The Hall, which joins to the Weft End of the 
 Chapel, is a tolerable Apartment, and lately beau- 
 tified. 
 
 The Lodge is a very good one, containing fe- 
 veral fmall but pleafant Apartments, and makes a 
 good appearance. 
 
 The West-Front, (which is the longeftin the 
 University) is very regular, and the upper Rooms 
 are very agreeable having a Profped into Queen's- 
 'ege Gardens.

 We alfo broke down John Baptijl there ^ and thefc

 to the fifth Stall in the Church of Ely ; and about 
 the fame Time to the Reel, of Barley in Heri-

 of Dr. Andrevb Willet,. In 1631, he fucceeded Dr. 
 
 bes in the Maiterfhip of this College, and the 
 fame Year, Sep. 29, was admitted to the Arch- 
 Deaconry of Coventry. In 1637 and 16^8, he fer- 
 ved the Office of Vice-Chancellor, and again in 
 1643 and 1644. During his Government of trre 
 Univerfity and the College, he was eminent for his 
 care in promoting the Learning and good Manners 
 of the Members, as he was no lefs confpicuous all 
 his Life for his lingular Piety, and Zeai for the Con- 
 flitution of the Church, of which he would fay, he 
 iik'd it betterand better as he grew older, and bell 
 of all when he found it affauked from a fpirit of Fac- 
 ion. Mr: 1 ~, 1642, he was Confecrated Bp. ofEx- 
 f;V?\ and inthron'd June 1, from this he had no be- 
 nefit, any more than he had from his other Prefer- 
 ments. After the Troubles of the Times, having 
 been a conitar.t AffertOr both dlMonarcby and£:: - 
 
 -2Q-, and the Fidelity and Submimon due to So- 
 vereign Princes, in his very laft Sermon, ( Prea- 
 ched at the 'Tempi; Nov. 5 ) before his 
 Death •, denied any Capacity in Chriftian Sub- 
 ::s, upon any pretext of Religious Liberty 
 to refill them, for which they had neither I . •: :'s 
 
 xept, nor any good Chnftkns practice ; the on- 
 ly choice left them being to obey actively or paf- 
 , to do, or to fuffer 3 and rather fuller than 
 fin, by doing and refitting in any unla ay , 
 
 which Doctrine he had formerly deda a Ser- 
 
 mon at Ci . re, for which he was immediately 
 Prescribed, cured of his Pla the I 
 
 and deprived ofhisLibcry. He was, faith the j

 nour ; full ot Judgment, Courage, Ccnllancy, and 
 Impartiality •, a Grave and great Divine ; a graci- 
 ous and fincere Chriftian, as well as a venerable Bp. 
 confcentious in all he did, and humble with all his 
 Endowments ; not lefs full of eminent Graces, than 
 excellent Gifts; indeed, every way Rich a Man, and 
 fuch a Bp. as no C hriftian Church in any Age, but 
 ours, nor ours in any Age, but that, would have 
 laid afide. In this one Bp. there was the Quintef- 
 fe nee of all good Chriltians, all good Scholars, all 
 good Divines, all good Preachers and all good 
 Bps. In him might be found the finceriry of the an- 
 tient Fathers, and the folidnefs of later Divines ; 
 the School-men did not exceed him in acutenefs, 
 nor the belt Cafuifts in exactnefs, nor the fobereft 
 Monafticks in Devotion and Sanctity. He had the 
 learning of Nazianfen, Ba/il, or Jerome •, the Cou- 
 rage and Conftancy of Alhanafiui and St.' Ambrofe^ 
 the Eloquence of St. Cbtyjoftorne^ and ChryMogm -, 
 the Mildnefs and Gentlenefs of St. Cyprian^ or St. 
 jlnjtin •, the Charity and Benignity of Paulinus and 
 Martinus. — No-~\ 3, 1648 •, He was one al- 
 lowed by the Houfe to attend the King, during 
 the Treaty ot the IJle of Wight •, but was recal- 
 led on the 10th, the Bp. then being under red Taint. 
 After he was (tripped of all, he retired for fome 
 Time to the Houfe of Tho. Rich Efq; at S - in 
 
 Bar 1 ; (hire, an old Friend, as well as a generous 
 Gentleman, and molt charitable Chriftian ; lie 
 fhew'd the grcatnefs of his Mind from the manner 
 ol bearing his Sufferings and Loffes, the Sacrilege 
 of the i imes gave him indeed a deep concern ; 
 but, as to his own Lois therefrom, he only (aid 
 with a fmile, that he took it alittle unkindly, thole 
 Lords and Gentlemen, who had before \ to 
 
 fee him a Bp. mould join with the reft againft Epil- 
 copacy, and feize the Rev. .

 fo much as allowing him the Arrears due from his 
 Bprick now in fuch hands, that, he thought, had 
 leis Right to therri, and lefs Need of them, than 
 himielf. But he found, he faid, the predominant 
 Genius of the Times was fuch, that, inftead of 
 letting Bps. live in a Capacity to be given toHof- 
 pitality, they reduced them to the necefiity of get- 
 ting into fome Hofpital for their own relief. — Tho w 
 often prefled by hisFriends, he could never be per- 
 fuaded to print any of his Works. — The Year be- 
 fore his Death, being invited by the Governours of 
 the two Te??iples t he excepted the Office of Preacher 
 there ; but being now broken with Years and In- 
 firmities, he prepared himfelf willingly fox Death, 
 faying, it is a very cheap Time now to die, when 
 indeed there was fo little temptation to live, and 
 
 fo many to welcome Death. Having lived to 
 
 fee no King in the State, no Bp. in the Church, 
 no Peer in Pari, no Judge in the Land, no Pari, 
 itfelf in any freedom, or Honour ; all now being 
 governed by the Sword, in that dark Day, de-

 THAT wc may not think it new, for Mo- 
 najleries, Abbeys, or Nunneries, to be con- 
 verted into Colleges ; behold here is a Nunnery of 
 Veiled- Virgins of St. Rhadeguvd, of the Order 
 of St Benedict ; which was meft Nobly and Royal- 
 ly founded in the Reign of King Stephen,, about 
 A. D. 1 1 50-, by Malcolm, the fourth of that 
 name, and the ninety- firft King of Scots, and Earl 
 of Cambridge and Huntingdon. He, mindful of 
 that antient and (trier. Alliance between the French 
 and the Scots, continued from the days of Charier 
 main of France, and Achaius, K ing of Scots, was 
 the firft I find, who brought the name of St. 
 Rhadegund into England. 1 o acquaint the Reader 
 with her Original, She was the Queen of France, 
 Daughter of Bertram King of Thuringia in Germa- 
 ny, and Wife of Lot hair King of France, the Son 
 of Glovis the Great, the firft Chriftian in France. 
 She, about the Year 460, leaving her Hufband, 
 retired into a Monajlery at Poitiers, and there found- 
 ed the Abbey of the Holy-Crojs, where they ftill 
 
 fhew her Tomb. Prefently after ihe coming 
 
 in of the Normans, there feems to have been only 
 a little poor Cell of Nuns at this Place, to whom 
 Pope Honorious II. gave fome Life, granting them 
 the Impropriation of the Rectory of St. Clemen** in 
 Cambridge, A. D. 1133. About the fame Time 
 we read, that the Lady Con/lance, Countefs of £0- 
 loon, and Wife to Eujtace, Earl of Bolcgn, Son and 
 Heir to Stepb n King o\ England, became aBencfact- 
 refs i for fhe gave to this Houfe of St. Rhadegund, 
 all the Fifhery, from the Bridge of Cambridge to the 
 
 P Abbey
 
 2io The Hi/lory of the 
 
 Abbey of Barnwell: But the aforefaid Malcolm; 
 is more confpicuous than all the reft •, for he gave 
 Lands to thofe Nuns, and thereon built them a 
 Church, dedicated to the name of J e s u s ; (from 
 whence the prefent College derives its Name) and 
 for their better fupport, he gave them ten Acres of 
 Land adjoining to it; being Lord of all the 
 Town, and receiving the third fenny of the Coun- 
 ty of ( .amb ridge by Inheritance. The Nuns 
 
 iiourifhed here many Years, but at la ft they be- 
 came fo Debauched, that for Shame, they all but 
 two, left the Houfe ; and of the two that ftaid, 
 one was with Child, and the other but a Child. 
 It being made known to John Alcock Bp. of Ely, 
 that the Monaftery was thus forfaken, and he being 
 a Man of great Sagacity, and highly in favour 
 with Henry VII. being alfo Lord Chancellor of 
 England, he obtained Licence of the faid King, 
 and of Pope Alexander VI. to convert this aband- 
 oned Monaftery into a College. Having perfected 
 the fame A. D. 1496, he placed therein a Mafter, 
 6 Fellows, and 6 Scholars ; dedicating it to the 
 blejfed Virgin Mary, St. John the Evangelifl, and 
 
 the glorious Virgin St- Rhadegnnd. Soon at- 
 
 ter other favourers of Learning fhew'd their gene- 
 rofity to it ; viz. James Stanley, Bp. of Ely, who, 
 in the 2 2d of the fame King's Reign, impropriated 
 the Rectory of Great-Shelford in Cambridgepire, to 
 the ufe of this College. 
 
 John Gunthorpe, Maimer of Kings-Hafl 9 a Bene- 
 factor to the Library. 
 
 Thomas Tbirlby, alfo Bp. of Ely, granted it the 
 Vicarages of Fordham, Giiden-Morden y IVittlesford, 
 Hinxfton, Swavefey, and Comberton, in the County 
 of Cambridge. 
 
 Richard Sterne, Mafter, and .Archbp. of York,

 WHEN King Henry VI. had entertained 
 thoughts of Building King's-CoUe^e, and en- 
 larging its Bounds, he tranflated to this Place a cer- 
 tain Hoflle near Clare-Hall, called the Houfe of God \ 
 which had been built by William Bingham, Rector 
 of St. Jobn-Zachary in London, in the Year 1442, 
 for Grammarians ; placing therein a Provoft, four 
 Fellows and Scholars -, and in lieu thereof, by way 
 of Exchange, afllgned thofe an Houfe belonging 
 to the Monks oiTilney and Denny, who came thi- 
 her to Study, being without Barnwell Gate, and 
 called it the Houfe of God. The Warden of this 
 Houfe or College, and the Scholars, prefented to the 
 Living of Fen-Drayton in this County, by the Ti- 
 tle of the College of the Houfe of God ; and that 
 former Place of the Houfe of God, was taken into 
 the Bounds, of that which is now King's-Cotlege. K. 
 HenryVl. on Account of his removing its fituation, 
 would have increafed this to fixty Scholars, had

 rum, according to his Office, the Day before the 
 Term began : At which Time he was furioufly 
 purfued over the Market-place, by a confuted 
 Number of Soldiers ; who in a barbarous uncivil 
 Manner, cried out a Pope, a Pope ! and vowed 
 high revenge, if he offeree) to go into the Pulpit : 
 Whereupon the Church was immediately filled 
 
 with
 
 240 The Hi [lory of the 
 
 with great Multitudes ; and when fome who accom- 
 panied the Preacher, told them it was an Univerfi- 
 ty-Exercife, and to be by Statute performed in La- 
 tin ; they replied, they knew no Reafon why all 
 Sermons mould not be performed in Englijh, that 
 all might be edified ; threatening withal to tear the 
 Hoods and Habits, which Graduates then wore 
 according to the Univerftty-Statutes. And fo Mr.

 lead this fhonld be look'd upon as no other than 
 a tumultuous Outrage of the ignorant and undifci- 
 plined Soldiers, it muft be known, that when com- 
 plaint was made of it to the General, no manner of 
 Remedy could be obtained. I have only this to 
 add of him, that he feems to have continued in his 
 Preachers Place, either by connivance or new E- 
 Ie&ions, till the Year 1 646 : For though he was e- 
 jected from hisFellowfhip for his Loyalty, yet he 
 Received the Salary as Preacher till that Year. He

 XII. St. John's-College, 1511. 
 
 » 
 I G E L L U S, Bp. of Ely, and Treafurer 
 to Henry I. gave the firft Reputation to 
 this Place •, for he, A. D. 1134, built the Hofpi- 
 tal of the Prior and Bretheren of the Order of St. 
 John the Evahgdifi, (according to the Rule and 
 nftitute of St. Auguftine) in the Jevurv -, and en- 
 dowed it with a Revenue of 140/. a Year. More- 
 over, befidts the Donation of Eujlachius, alfo Bp. 
 of Ely, who in the Reign of Richard I. gave the 
 Impropriation of the Church of Hornvgfey, in this 
 County ; to thofe Regulars ; the growing Zeal of 
 our Kings, fo far che rimed this Religious Houje, 
 that they granted to it many Forfeitures impofed by 
 the Judges, on account of the Price and Sale of 
 Provifions. Hugh Nortbwood, at firft Abbot of 
 St. Edmunds-Bury in Suffolk, when made Bp. of 
 Ely\ brought into this Houfe, A. D. 1240, Secu- 
 lar Brothers of the fame Order, who applied them- 
 felves more to Study than to Pray. But becaufe 
 they did not well agree with the Regulars, Hugh 
 de Baljham, like wife Bp. of Ely, removed thefe&f- 
 cular -Brothers, to increafe his own Houfe of St. 
 Peter. (Now Peterhoufe-Co liege.) The Regular - 
 Brothers., to whom the laid Hugh de Balaam, A.D. 
 1283, gave Rud\ Hofpital ; remained in this an- 
 cient Place, till the end of the Reign of Henry VII. 
 For at that Time, (to ipeak in the Words of the 
 ancient Regifter) this Priory was reduced to fuch 
 Ruin, Want, and fmallnefs of Number, that of an 
 once flourifhing and numerous Company, there re- 
 mained only the Prior and two Brothers -, and the 
 Poffeifions both Real and ferfonal* were fo wafted, 
 
 and
 
 Univerfity ^ Cambridge. 2 44 
 
 and fpent, that of 140/. per Ann. given them by 
 the faid NigeUus y there remained only 30Z. 
 
 The Lady Margaret Countefs of Richmond &c. 
 having founded Cbrift-College as aforefaid, thought 
 fhe had done enough for this Univerfity. And 
 having been Sollicitcd by fome Men of Character 
 of the other Univerfity, to place her remaining 
 Charities upon Oxford, who pointed out to her St.- 
 Fridefwi<Ts Priory, and had gone fo far by their 
 conftant Importunity and unwearied Perfualions, 
 that flie had been determined to that Place, had 
 not that good Dr. John Fijher, Bp. of Rocbefter, 
 and her Confeffor; who influenced her Devotion 
 moft, and intervened, and by more powerful Ar- 
 guments, and particularly by pointingout the me- 
 lancholy Sate anddiflblute Lives of the Bretheren, 
 of old St. Jebrfs-Houfei had turned her Thoughts 
 back upon Cambridge, and fo St. Fridefwia*s was 
 referved for the hke Purpofes, foon after under- 
 taken by Cardinal lVolfc\\ upon the Ruins of that 
 
 Pnory. The Bretheren of this Houfe had 
 
 run into fuch great Exceffes, by their prodigal way 
 of Living, and gratifying their Lulls, that they 
 could not be maintained by their Revenues; they 
 then Pawned or Sold the Moveables of their Houfe, 
 nor were the facred Veffels fpared, nor indeed 
 longer facred, but were Sold and Proftituted with 
 their Furniture-, and when thele would not fatisfy; 
 their Lands and fettled Eftates were at laft alienated 
 or engaged for larg Sums of Money. So far had 
 they gone, and fo deep were they envolved, that 
 they feem to have been at a (land, but their laft 
 Stores being exhaufted, and their Credit funk, the 
 Mailer and Bretheren were difperfed, and in effect 
 
 the Houfe was abandoned. This being the 
 
 Condition of the old Houfe, in a manner diflolved 
 already by its own Crimes, the heft Tiling that 
 could be done for it, was to diflbJve it by Authority, 
 
 R . zi.d
 
 244 Tie Hi/lory of ihe 
 
 and to ingraft a College upon the old Stock, thst 
 
 might bring forth better Fruit. * The firft 
 
 Thing to be done towards this, was the confent of 
 the Bp of Ely, both as reputed Founder and un- 
 doubted Diocelan: The prefent Bp. was James 
 Stanley, Son of the late Earl ot Derby j who being 
 Son-in-Law to the Foundrefs, and probably pro- 
 moted by her Intereft to that See, his confent was 
 eafiJy had. The next Thing to be procured was, 
 the King's Licence, and this from her own Son, 
 was eafily obtained, but before thefe could be had 
 in due Form, the King dies, and e'er much could 
 be done to purpofe, the Foundrefs dies alfo ; and 
 had Ihe not lodged this Truft in faithful Hands, 
 this great and good Dtfign had died with her. — 
 But as Ihe is gone, we are now to turn ourEyes and 
 Hopes upon her Executors •? She did indeed leave 
 a Will, and Lands in Feoffment lor the perform- 
 ance thereof, and thefe very fufficient, had they 
 been fufficiently fecured againft the next Heir at 
 Law, the King her Grandion : And tho' her Will 
 (as far as appears) was undoubted good, and duly 
 atcefled, yet that part of it which concerned her 
 foundation of a new College, having been done 
 by way of Codicil ^ before it could be Sealed, the 
 good Lady departed this Life, and left thereby 
 ibme ground to Cavil. 
 
 This might have been born with, had they been 
 fure of the old Houfe, but that (as I (aid before) 
 was yet ftanding undiflolved, fo that all that had 
 been done towards it, was to begin anew, with lefs 
 Power, and under greater difficulties. King Hen- 
 ry VIII. had an Eye upon the Eftates, the Bp. of 
 Ely was lull of difficulties, and witheld his confent 
 for half a Year, and no wonder, when we confider 
 he encouraged their Loofenefs by his ill Example, 
 and was therefore unwilling to confent to a thing,. 
 
 that
 
 Univerfity fl/'Cambridge. 245 
 
 that fo plainly reproached him with his own great 
 neglect and worfe Example. 
 
 Great application was to be made both at Court, 
 and at Ely ; and (becaufe the Pope's Bull were 
 thought neceMary) the affair was likewife to be fo ! - 
 licited at Rome, where delays are ufual. But at laft, 
 a Bull wasattainedat a great expence, which when it 
 came was found defective, and was to be renewed 
 at a new trouble and expence, tho* the expence was 
 not wholly loft, for when the Decretory Bull (dated 
 Oftavo Cal. Jul. A. D. 15 10) was lent, it was a 
 very Powerful one ''for this Pope was a Sen of 
 Thunder) it (buck the old Houlc at one Blow, it 
 diffolvesas well as builds by his fole Pontifical Au- 
 thority, without confulting either King or Bilhop. 
 
 For letting forth the Defolation of the old Houle, 
 he difiblvts and extinguifhes the fame, and erects and 
 inftitutes a new College, pro Magiftro et quinqua- 
 ginta Clerici, and annexes and unites to the Col- 
 lege fo ere6ted, all the Lands £*fc. of the old Houfe, 
 Diocefani loci, et cuju/vis alteruts licent'hi, fupcr hoc 
 minime requifita, and he impowersthe Bps. of Lin- 
 coln an J Norwich, or either of them, to execute his 
 Decree, and to Coerce with Cenfures, all fuch as 
 mould cotradict it •, referving a convenient Penfion 
 to two Bretheren of the old Houfe, for by his ac- 
 count, there was no Mafter, and only two Brethe- 
 ren left. 
 The King's Licence was granted ////£. 7, An.Reg.

 its fuppreffion, to convert it into a College, ;:>. u

 The Character of the Foundation was given Apr. 
 9, 1511, in the Name and by the Authority of 
 all the Executors, viz. Richard Bp. of Winchester, 
 John Bp. of Rochejter, Charles Somerfet Lord 
 Herbert , Thomas Lov'eU Hen. Marney, and John St. 
 John, Knts. Her. Hornby, Hugh Afhton, and Ro- 
 bert Shorton, Clerks, the laft of whom was ap- 
 pointed the firft Mailer. 
 
 The Fabrick of the Honfe was begun about the 
 fame Time, and coll between 4 and 5000/. (a 
 round Sum in thofe Days,) and was four Years in 
 Building. 
 
 This Robert Shorten, was a Man of Bufinefs as 
 well as Learning, and indeed a very extraordiary 
 Perfon, and afterwards defervedly advanced to weal- 
 thy Preferments, his Mafterfhip here being only 20/. 
 a Year, which he earned every Farthing, in overfee- 
 ing the Work, and accounting with the Clerk 
 thereof. 
 
 It will, no doubt, be thought very ftrange, how 
 fo great a Number of Fellows (for at firft there was 
 few Scholars) could be maintained out of fo fmall a 
 Revennue, viz. that of the old Houfe (which the 
 Executors had redeemed J 80/. is. 10 d. ob. the 
 Revennues of an old decayed moifon Dieu or Hof- 
 pital at Ofpring in Kent, given them by the King, 
 (in lieu of near 400/. per Ami. he kept back of the 
 Foundrefs's) 70/. with the Foundrefs's Eftate at 
 Fordham and lome other little Things purchafed 
 with her Moneys, but the Maintenance, we may 
 imagine was fuited to the Revenue, only 1 2d. per 
 Week was allowed in Commons to a Feilow, and 
 yd. to a Scholar. 
 
 Having this finifhed my Account of the 
 Foundation, Building, Charter, &c. of this noble 
 College, I ihall, before I take leave of this Part of 
 its Hiftory, fay a Word or two, to the eternal 
 Praife of Us Members, who have in a great Mea- 
 fure, made amends for the lewd Lives of the Mem- 
 bers of the old Houfe,. As
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 247 
 
 As no Houfe has undergone greater turns and 
 varieties of Fortunes, fo no one has been more 
 true to Orthodox Principles than this has been. To 
 pafsbyKing Henry VKFs Reign, when Things 
 were fluctuating, and it was hard to know what 
 was Truth, under King Edward.Vl. they where 
 no where more warm for the Reformation, under 
 two Reforming Mailer. Dr. Bill and Mr. Leaver, 
 than they were at St. Johns, and as in purfuancr: 
 hereof, more Fellows were ejected in Q. A'Jaryi 
 Reign, than perhaps irom any ether Society in 
 cither Univeriity •, fo upon their return under Q. 
 Elizabeth, they brought back with them the fame 
 Principles, 'only with a Tincture of Geneva) and 
 were no where more noted for their_ Zeal. Wit- 
 nef6 the PUkingtonSj the Leavers, Cariiwigbts, 
 and Fulks, Names well known in the Hiitory of 
 the Reformation. This Tincture foon wore o 
 Under K. Charles I. they were Orthodox and Re- 
 gular, and fuffered very deeply for their Principles 
 of Loyalty (fee their Sufferings at the End of this 
 College) and Religion, but tho' the Mailer and 
 better halt of the Fellows were then ejected, and 
 the College was under Force and Violence aim oft 
 20 Years, yet that Force was no fooncr removed, 
 but the Principles returned, with the Return o: 
 their ProfefTors, and they were the fame Men as be- 
 fore. In one Word, when the Nation was again 
 
 rmed with the fears oi Pi pery, no College expref- 
 iti\ a greater Abhorn nee of that Religion, or more 
 ■ idinefs to Suffer, had there been Occafion.

 He was endued with many becoming Accomplim-

 and his Sincerity to his Friends, gave him a Right 
 to be placed amonglr the beft of Men. Such Merit

 For the Prefs with uncommon Diligence, he was

 lamented by the learned World, who had received 
 great expectations of moil admirable Performances

 undergone.

 gathering the Univerfity Plate for his Majeflfs fer-

 fo on account of the Efteem which Archbp. Laud 
 had for him, and the favour fhewn him by that 
 Prelate) he became in a peculiar manner Obnoxious 
 to the Rage of the Party ; and accordingly fuffer- 
 ed under them, to a very great Degree. For he 
 was not only Plundered and hurried away Prifoner to 
 London, with Dr. Sterne (fee Jefus -College) but 
 fuffered the fame Barbarous ufage. His confine- 
 ment in feveral Prifons, with the faid Dr. lafted 
 about three Years, during fome Part of which

 whole imprifonment, which was two Years and

 Mr. Berwick was firft made a Prifoner, he was fo 
 far gone in a Confumptive-Cafe, that every body 
 thought, as well as himfelf, his Prifon would foon 
 difpatch him, and this was what his Enemies hoped 
 and wifhed for •, but, by his great abftemioufnefs, 
 it only ferved to reftore him to a pretty good fhare

 chofen fellows of St. Johns or any other Csllege,

 TH E firft Account we have of this Place 
 was in the Year 1092, when Hugolina Wife 
 of Picot Baron of Bourne in this County, built St. 
 Giles's Priory, and placed therein 6 Canons, which 
 being removed to Barnwell- Abbey by Pagan or 
 Pain Peverell, A. D. 1112-, the famous Monafte- 
 ries of the Order of St. Benedict, in the City of JS- 
 ly, Ramfey, and Walden ; joining together, pur- 
 chafed the aforefaid Priory, with the Confent of 
 Pope Benedict XI. in the Year 1300, for their 
 Monks (whence a Part of the Precincts is (till cal- 
 led Monks-Corner) to repair to, in order to im- 
 prove in Learning, as had been done before by the 
 Monaftery olCroyland. But Edward Stafford Duke 
 of Buckingham^ Earl of Stafford,* Hereford, and 
 Northampton, Lord of Brechin and Holdernejs, Kt. 
 of the Garter,, and Privy-Concellor to K. Henry 
 VII. purchafed the fame, and built a College on the 
 Scite of it, giving it theName of Buckingham-Col- 
 lege, A. D. 1 5 19. But the Foundation not being 
 perfected, it reverted to the Crown, upon his At- 
 tainder in 152 1, and was afterwards granted to 
 Thomas Baron Audley of Walden, Lord Chancellor 
 of England, Privy Councellor to Henry VIII. and 
 Kt. of the Garter, by the faid King in 1542, and 
 incorporated by the name of St. Mary-Magdalen- 
 College. This Lord gave thereto Lands and 
 Tenements, Parcels of the Priory of 'the Holy-Tri- 
 nity in London ;, and referved to himfelf and Succef- 
 iors Proprietors of the late Monaftery of Wahlen

 ings of the faid College, and gave Lands for the

 He had continued unejected at the Time when

 was turned out, for refufing the Engagement : And 
 fince, if rightly apprehended, he had never taken 
 the Covenant^ (tho' poiTibly, in fome other Things, 
 he might have comply'd with the Times more than 
 became him) I make no fcruple to fet him down as

 He was Son of Tbo. Rainbow, Reclor of Bliton

 Scholar, Fellow, a noted Tutor, and at length 
 Mailer, After his ejectment from the College, he 
 obtained the Living of Cbeflerford in Effex, and a- 
 bout the beginning of 1659, that of Benefield'm 
 NorthamponfJnre •, both of which he was permitted 
 to enjoy, without going through the Hands of the 
 friers. In 1660, he was reflored to his College, 
 and became Chaplain to his Majefty, and Dean of 
 Peterborough Dec. 8, 1660 -, and in 1664, July

 To the foregoing Account given by Dr. Walker, 
 take the following communicated to me by a Friend. 
 
 The Plate of this College having been feized 
 Feb. 5, 1643; as it was going to Oxford for the 
 King's ufe, the Earl of Maticbefter was ordered to 
 difpole of it for the ufe of the Pari, as he mould 
 
 think fit. ■?. The Engagement by which Dr, 
 
 Rainbow the Matter fell, was refolved upon Oft. 1 1,

 Members of Pari, and all others, and the fame the 
 Clergy, Matters of Colleges, Fellows &c. promif-

 King Edward II. in the latter End of his Reign, 
 had a Defign to erect a Religious Foundation in 
 this Univerfity, confiding of a Mafter and 32 
 Scholars, and fometime before his Death had ap- 
 pointed and maintained them, out of his own pri- 
 vate Purfe ; and defired his Son to erect and endow 
 the laid Houfe ; which he had doubtlefsdone foon- 
 er than he did (he being a Religious and good 
 Prince) had not his Warrs with France, hindered 
 (for feveral Years) his Pious Defign. But as foon 
 as the Warrs were over, and Peace eftablifhed, he 
 fet about it in good Earned, and in a good Man- 
 ner, recovered fome of the loft Time j and was 
 very careful the Mafter and Scholars mould have 
 their Stipends duly paid them. For I find in Ry- 
 mer, that, Jan. 26, 1334, 9 Edward III. The 
 King gave Directions to his Treafurer, and Barons 
 of the Exchequer &c. fetting forth, that as he had 
 lately given Orders to the Sheriff of Cambridge fair e^ 
 concerning what was to be paid the Mafter and 32 
 Scholars on his Foundation at Cambridge, from the 
 Feaft of St. Michael Ann. 7th, of his Reign &c. 
 And that Tbo. Poivys the Mafter had given him to 
 understand, that the faid Shenffe, by Reafon of o- 
 therPayments to theKing's ufe, which he was obli- 
 ged to make out of the Rents of his Bailywick ; 
 was unable at prefent to fatisfy the Stipends, with 
 the Arrears ; They the faid Treafurer &c. were 
 required to pay the faid Mafter &c. 40/. out of the 
 Exct quer lor this purpoie. This was 3 Years af- 
 ter made a fettled Foundation, by the Name of

 of Clergy, and falutary Wifdom, the Sons are 
 born for the Fathers, and, learned Men giving 
 way to Fate, a fit Pofterity of Young Perfons has 
 SuccefTion, in whom, after having finifhed their 
 Studies, Wifdom may be propagated ; who may 
 fpread the Catholic -Faith, and by their Sage 
 Counfels add Strength to the Throne and Common- 
 wealth •, and therefore being deiirous for augment- 
 ing the Number of learned Scholars in the Univer- 
 fity of Cambridge, which had produced many fruit- 
 ful Branches in the Lord's Vineyard, well inclined 
 to improve themfelves by their application to their 
 Studies, charitably to lay a perpetual Foundation, 
 that the Youth, noted for their ingenuity, might 
 thence become the lame for their Knowledge, and 
 be better qualify'd for a Share in the Public Coun- 
 cils •, \He did now to the Honour of Go d, the blejf- 
 ed Virgin his Mother ', and all Saints, and for the 
 Soul Of King Edward his Father, of famous Me- 
 mory, (who, from a Pious confideration, had there 
 maintained 32 Scholars in their Studies) as well as 
 for the health of his own, and the Souls of Queen 
 Philippa his Difcreet Confort, their Children and 
 Ancettors •, founded a certain College for the fame 
 Number of Scholars in the laid Univerfity, and 
 there continually carrying on their Studies, whom 
 he would to live together in his Manfe y near the 
 Hofpital of St. John, in the Parifh of All-Saints, 
 bought by him of Matter Rob. de Croyland, he e- 
 recled fcfa. in Perpetuity, and the faid Manje to be 
 called by the Name of Kings-HaU •, and for the 
 maintenance of his Scholars, he gave and granted 
 to the Mailers and Scholars, for himfelf and Suc- 
 cellors, the faid Manfe, with its appurtenences, and 
 the Advowfon of the Church of ht. Peter in Nor- 
 thamptoji, with the Chapels annexed to the fame,

 being in his own Patronage ; with Licence to ap- 
 propriate the fame,tho' they had not yet pre fen ted to 
 them, any Statute to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 On the 16th of the fame Month, he addreffed the 
 Pope for confirming his Foundation, mentioning 
 his Grants to it, and his Defign to add thereto, as 
 he did the fame Day. And on Nov. 27, following, 
 he directed his Precept to the Collectors of the 
 Tenths &c. in this County, ordering them to pay 
 40/. to the Matter, for the fupport of himfelf and 
 Scholars, (in which the Sheriff had failed) from 
 the firft Money coming into their Hands, for 
 which they were to Difcount in the King's Exche- 
 quer. Nor were the Matters and Fellows wanting 
 in their Time, who in A. D. 1440, prevailed 
 with King Henry VI. to interceed with Pope Eu» 
 genius IV. to annex the Rectory of Cheflerton near 
 Cambridge , to this Houfe, which was effected. In 
 this Houfe were Elderly Fellows, fo noted for 
 Gravity and Wifdom, that it was at that Time, 
 looked upon as the Oracle of the Univerfity. And 
 to the end, that it might be in all Refpects a Work 
 truly Royal. This Flail was made of fo magnifi- 
 cent a Structure, that it was capable of entertaining 
 K. Richard II. and his Court, when he held the 
 Parliament at Camlndgc in 138 1 ; and the great 
 Tower^now the Obfervatory of Trinity-College) was 
 the Entrance to the laid Hall. Mar. 5, 3 Rich. 
 II. the King gave this Hall a large Body of Sta- 
 tutes, which were to be read twice a Year, and e- 
 yery Member fworn to obfervc.

 Forafmuch (fays his Majefty) as all Men, cre- 
 ated in the Image of God, and by him, and Mens 
 Mediator are new formed to Immortality, ought to 
 do and perform all fuch Things with their whole

 Lords, had made it, he well remembred, their 
 chief Bufinefs to honour the Lord in Heaven, to 
 whom alone they are Subject, through whom they 
 enjoy Terreftrial Power and Felicity, with all due 
 Service, and to leave to Polterity lome Splendid 
 and Royal Monuments of their Devotion to the 
 King of Heaven. From this Confideration, the 
 Divine C'emency Enlightning his Mind, and the 
 Recollection of the immenfe Bounty of God to- 
 wards himfelf, who had given him the Govern- 
 ment of his Kingdom, he had long held, as well 
 in a flourifhing State of Peace and Profperity, as, 
 by his Grace, conducted all the Way, with molt 
 Glorions Succefles ; but chiefly for the Eltablifhing 
 and Supporting the Cbrfltan Religion therein, in 
 Truth and Sincerity, and Defending the fame with 
 all his Might, both againft the Enormities ar.d 
 Wicked abufcs of the Roman Papacy, and the dead- 
 ly Impieties of Henries ; being by him Divinely 
 cleclcd and affifted, in whofe Hands are the Hearts 
 of Kings ; that he might not feem unworthy of the 
 Grace fo abundantly fried upon him by God, but, 
 declaring his Gratitude tor his pall Bleffings, might 
 have his Hope confirm"d in thofe to come •, to the 
 Glory and Honour of God, and the Holy and un- 
 divided Trinity, to the Enlargement and Stability 
 of the true Chrifiian Religion ; the extirpation of Er- 
 rors, and falfe Opinions, the encreafe of Piety and 
 good Letters, the knowledge ot Tongues, the E- 
 ducation of Youth in Piety and Virtue, good Man- 
 ners and Learning, the Relief of the Poor and 
 Needy, luflly to the common Benefit and Felicity 
 of the Church of Cbrift, cur Kingdom and Sub- 
 jects ; We, of our Special Grace &c. By thefc Prc- 
 fents, do truly and fully erect, conftitute &c. a cer-

 difcerned it not, neither was it found out by the 
 College till many Years after, (when it was difco- 
 ver'd by fome Workmen, employ'd to do fome

 Power prefented to this Mafterfliip, being lately 
 Fellow of this College, in which Year, on the 
 Death of Mr. Butts the Vice-Chancellor, he was 
 chofen to fupply his Place, for the remaining Part 
 of it j and ferved the fame Office in 1636. During 
 the Time of his Mafterfhip, he Governed with great 
 Prudence, and exact Diicipline •, and was particu- 
 larly itrict in managing the Elections of it, com- 
 monly making this Return, when he was Sollicited 
 by powerful Friends, in favour of an unqualified 
 Lad •, Pcrfuade your Garden er to Plant a withered 
 Tne in your Garden. What Time he was deprived 
 of his Headfhip does not yet appear *, in 1642, ac- 
 cording to Dr. Walker, but Dr. H'dh fais SuccefTor 
 had not his Patent ordered by the Pari, till Jan. 8, 
 1 647 - 9 which appointed him Mafter Mar. 1 7 af- 
 ter. However for being concerned in fending the 
 Plate of the Univepfity to the King, and refufing 
 the Covenant, he was imprifoned, plundered and 
 deprived of all his Preferments ; which he endured 
 with great Refignation, and never palled a more 
 fevere Sentence on his Perfecutors, than that of 
 God forgive them.

 As fo lit le Notice yet appears of any of the

 and Rafcal &c. he was lent for, as a Delinquent, 
 fined 100/. to the King, and committed to the

 might not be admitted to any farther Degree ; this 
 was Mar. 15, 1641 ; but May 10 alter, he was or- 
 dered to Bail, this mighty Monarch, Mr. Pymtpe, 
 having been graciouQv plsafed to forgive him.

 And 
 
 Another Living (the Name of which I cannot learn) 
 
 given him by the Earl of Rutland. 
 
 He was born at Newcaftle upon Tyne, (where his 
 Father v/as Minifter) J.D. 1590, He was bred 
 in St. Johrfs-ColLge in this Univerfity -, of whieh he 
 was Scholar, Fellow, and Mafter \ he had been fome 
 time Chaplain to Sir Hen. Hobart, Lord Chief Jul- 
 tice of the Common-Pleas; and had a Living giver, 
 him in the Weft-Riding of Tork/hire, which he ex- 
 changed for the Rectory of St. Peter-Poor above- 
 faid, where he became a noted Preacher and much 
 followed, more efpecially by the Puritans. And 
 indeed he fcems to have been the mod Celebrated 
 Preacher of his Time. Whilft he continued dis- 
 charging tne Offices of a molt faithful Paftor, at 
 his Rectory of St. Peter-Poor, the great Sicknefs 
 happened in 1625; which, however, could noi 
 drive him from his Paftoral Charge: And during 
 his Refidence there, he was chofe Divinity Reader 
 at Grejbam-College •, afterwards Mafter of St. Jobn's- 
 Colltge in this Univerfity ; which he quitted for that 
 of this College ; and was, faid (Old Dr Cbaderton, 
 who had refigned that Mafterfhip fome time before, 
 but ftill living in the College) The only Mafter he e- 
 verfaw in that Houfe. So excellently well did he 
 Dilcharge that Government, as he did afterwards 
 that of Vice-Cbancdlor for near three Years together 
 but was not ruffe-red by the then Power, to continue 
 
 out
 
 3 6 6 The Hijhry of the 
 
 out his laft Year, but forced to leave the Univerfi- 
 ty, and retire, firft into the Country, thence to 
 London, where he lay concealed for fome Time, and 
 endeavouring to retire thence again, was feized and 
 brought before the Parliament, who committed 
 him Prifoner, firft to Ely-Hvife, and afterwards to 
 the Tower, where he was detained near four Years 
 at a vaft Expence. Whilft he was thus Imprifon- 
 ed, this Univerfity unanimoufly chofe him to the 
 Lady Margaret* s ProfefTorlhip, in the Room of 
 Dr. Ward, then dead. While his Majefty was at 
 Holdenby-Honfe, he requefted that this excellent Dr. 
 might be allowed to attend him, among the other 
 Divines whom he then fent for ; but this was utter- 
 ly denied • Yet he was afterwards permitted to wait 
 on his Majefty at Hampton- Court, where he confer* 
 red on him the abovefaid Deanry, which he accept- 
 ed (altho' he forefaw he could reap no Benefit by it) 
 notwithstanding he had fome Years before refufed 
 the Bifhoprick of Briflol ; however I think, the 
 Times allowed him not to be Inftalled. After this 
 the King again defired that he might attend him 
 at the IJle of Wight, but it was not granted. But 
 the Murder of his Sacred Majefty fo deeply affect- 
 ed this Loyal and excellent Perlon, that he never 
 enjoyed himfelf, or his Health after ; but by con- 
 tinual Prayers, Faftings, Tears, and Grief, con- 
 tracted a Black Jaundice, whieff ended with his Life 
 the Angujt following, JEtat. 58. In a Word, he 
 was a Perfon of unfpotted Life, which he palled o- 
 ver in a Chafte Celibracy -, and was thereby enabled 
 to Bequeath his Eftate to Pious ufes, and his Books 
 to his College. 
 
 This worthy Doctor was alfo Prebend of 'Lincoln, 
 and there too a Sufferer, (which Dr. V/alke.r Que-

 Will Sander oft, A.M. Fellowfhip. 
 
 This Great and mod excellent Perfon, was born 
 ixFrefin^fieldm Suffolk "j-an 30, 1616; and in his 
 tenuer Years gave many Proofs of his future Great- 
 nefs, in a very early Piety, and extraordinary ad- 
 vances in Learning. In what Year he was fent to 
 this College, or became Fellow of it, I cannot 
 find s but his Progrefs in Gallic Learning, as well 
 Greek as Latin, was fo furprizing, that it made him 
 very much taken Notice of, and at lart recommend- 
 ed him to the Knowledge of all the learned Bps. of 
 the Age ; Bp. Cozen more efpecially, who fingled 
 him out, not only for his Chaplain, but for his 
 Friend and Confident; and bellowed on him, as I 
 fuppofe, a Prebend of Durham ; to which he was 
 admitted in 1661. But before that Time he had 
 (pent fome Years in France and Italy, among the 
 mod learned Men of thofe Countries. Soon after 
 his admiffion to the Mafterfhip, he was advanced 
 to the Deanry of Tork, and in 1 664. removed to 
 that of St. Paul's ', and in 1668, to the Archdea- 
 conry of Canterbury. He had likewife the Reftory 
 of Hovgbton in the Spring, in the County of Z)//r- 
 ham. In 1677, he was unexpectedly advanced to 
 
 the
 
 University 0/* Cambridge. 369 
 
 the Archiepif copal-Chair of Canterbury, without the 
 leaft Inclination of his own. June%, 1688, he was 
 with fix other Bps. fent to the 'Tower, for refufing 
 to order his Majefty's Declaration of Indulgence, &c. 
 to be read •, but acquitted with the reft, the 29th 
 of the fame Month. In Dec. the fame Year, he 
 concurred with the Lords, the Mayor of London, 
 &c. in a Declaration to the Prinee of Orange for a 
 Free Pari and due Indulgence to Proteflani-Diffen- 
 ters •, but when that Prince was declared King, he 
 refufed the Oaths, and was by Ad: of Pari, depri- 
 ved of his Bifhoprick. After which he lived in the 
 utmoft Retirement, at the Place of his Nativity, 
 where he died and was buried as aforefaid. He 
 was a Man of fingular Prudence and Integrity, a 
 'very IVlfe and good Man •, and one of uncorrupi Sin- 
 cerity. He had a vaft Multitude of Papers and Col- 
 leclions, and therein more perhaps wrote by his own 
 Hand, than any Man, either of this or the laft 
 Age, ever did write, faith Mr. Wharton, in his 
 Preface to the Tryal of Archbp. Laud. He had 
 made a mod valuable Collection of Books, wheh he 
 defigned for the Library at Lambeth ; but afterwards 
 gave them to this College, to which he was a great 
 Benefactor. 
 
 I find alfo Mr. Holbeche, Mr. Wright, and M v 
 Hall of this College, pronounced Non Socii by the 
 Houfe of Commons, in 1 642, for being Superannuated* 
 If that Sentence had no more Juftice in it; than 
 mod of the reft of their Vote* and Rtfolutions had, 
 thefe Gentlemen ought to be look'd on and incertcd 
 as ejecled Fellows of this Houfe i of the firft of thefe,

 16, 1 64 1 •, and difpoflefled of it about Oft. 1643, 
 by the //ok/* of Commons. Upon the Return of his 
 Majefty, he was, as I guefs, Reftored to it. In 
 Aug, 1660, was made Prebend of St. Paul's, and 
 in Jug. 1 662, the Dean and Chapter of that Church 
 gave him the Rectory of St. Augujlinfs. (See 
 Matters.) The fecond,

 He was a very worthy Man, born at 'Newcaftk i 
 of a very good Family \ being by the Death of his 
 Brother, a Baronet. Perhaps he became D. D. 
 after his ejectment •, or it may be after the Rejlora- 
 iion, if he Surviv'd it ; ijWre. 
 
 Concerning the three laft mentioned Fellows, ob- 
 ferved by Walker to be pronouced Non Socii by the 
 Houfe in 1642. Theie things appear from the 
 Pari. Journals •, Mar. 22, 1641, Mr. Wright, Hall, 
 and Holbeche (fo placed in order) were declard by 
 Vote to be Superannuated Fellows, and fo to have 
 no Vote themfelves in the Election of Fellows, this 
 appears done in order to exclude Mr. Hodges from 
 a Fellowmip, who had been elected by theirVotes. 
 On the 29th of the fame Month, they were all 
 Voted JVo» Socii, on the Statute de mora Sociorum, 
 notwithftanding any Difpenfation -, and the Maf- 
 
 ter
 
 Univerfity of Cambridge. 371 
 
 ter and Fellows were required to fill their Places 
 by a new Election at the fame Time. John Wor- 
 thington was Voted Fellow in Oppofition (no doubt) 
 to Mr. Hodges before mentioned, and was after 
 Mafter of Jejus-Collrge. Aug. 8 after, it was mo- 
 ved, that, to the Bill about this College, the Word 
 Sufpenfion mould be added, and Mr. Holbcche, 
 Harris, and Hall inferted, and the Order to ex- 
 tend to Superannuated Perfons for the Time to 
 come, all which was alien ted to. June 10, 164.3, 
 Mr. Hall was fent for, as a Delinquent, for not o- 
 beying the Order of the Houfe of Mar. 29 before, 
 which declared him non Socius. From'this Ac- 
 count, and what appears elfewhere, it feems, the 
 College did not think fit to conform to thefe Or- 
 ders, as Mr. Wright had after the Rectory ofTbur- 
 cafion, and Mr. Hall that of Loughborough , (both 
 in the College Gift) from which he was Sequcltra- 
 ed after, if the fame Perfon with Nicholas Hall, 
 D.D. as in Walker, which he doubts. Mr. Wright 
 had been prefcnted by the King to Ditnningten 
 Rectory in Suffolk ; (the Place of his birth) April 
 3, 1 6? 7; but this took not effect, as Lyonel G 'af- 
 ford B. D. Fellow of Jrfus-College, was presented 
 Chereto the fame Year, and after there Sequeftra- 
 ted. He was Father to Sir Nathan Wright, late 
 Lord Keeper, whofe Heir is George Wright of Go* 
 thurfi in Bucks, Efq; and Member of Parliament 
 for the Town of Leictfter. As for Mr. Holbeche, 
 he was the fame, plainly, as Vicar of Eppwg, and 
 there Sequeftrated by Vote Oclober 30, 1643. Ju- 
 ly 28, 1660, he was in the King's Letters to be 
 Created D.D. the fame Year Prebend of St. Paul's,

 1590. 
 
 THIS College was erected on the very Place, 
 where formerly flood the Monaftery of Fr an- 
 a/cans, commonly called Grry- Friars •, built by K t 
 Edward I. about the Year 1275. This Monajlery 
 was very Famous among all the others in Cambridge % 
 becaufe formerly the Yearly AiTemblies of the Uni- 
 verfity, and the Public Exercices, were kept in it ; 
 it being very large, and the Public-Schools, nor St. 
 Mary ' s-Cburcb, being then Erected. 
 
 It was Founded by the Lady Frances Sidney ', 
 Counteis of Sujfex, (the Daughter dilVUl. Sidney 
 made Kt. Banneret at Flodden-F-gbt, and Steward 
 of the Houfhold to K. Edzvard VI. Sifter to Hen.

 Wales, Aunt to Philip Sidney, Baron Sidney, Vif- 
 count LiJIe, Earl of Leicejler, Lord Chamberlain 
 to Q^Anne; and Widow to Tbo. Radcliffe, third 
 Earl of Suffex, who dying in 1589, without Iffue; 
 by her Will, bearing date Dec. b, 1588, left 5000/. 
 befides her Goods unbequeathed, to be laid out in 
 Founding a College in the Town of Cambridge, by 
 the Name of the College of the Lady Frances Sid- 
 ney Sujjlx. Her Executurs, were, Hen. Gey, fifth 
 Earl of Kent, and her Nephew, Sir John Harring- 
 ton, (afterwards Lord Harrington) of Ex ,' on m the 
 County of Rutland; whom flie appointed for the 
 Purchafing competent Lands for the Maintenance 
 of one Mailer, 10 Fellows, and 20 Scholars. But 
 if in Cafe the Legacy was not fuifkient for Erect- 
 ing and Endowing fuch College, then the fame 
 fhould go towards the enlarging of Clare- Hall in

 fo many Fellows and Scholars therein, who were to

 as the Fellows and Scholars of that Foundation. She 
 alfo appointed John WhUgift, Archbifhop of Can- 
 terbury, and Gab. Goodman, Dean of Weftminfter^ 
 Overfeers of her Will. 
 
 Thefe Executors, in Order to Perform the Tmfl 
 repofed in them, Purchafed of Trinity -College, a 
 Parcel of Ground, with Tome ancient Buildings 
 thereon (formerly called the Grey-Friars) given 
 that College by Henry VIII. after the Diltolution 
 of Monasteries \ procuring the fame to be pafled un- 
 to them in Fee- Farm by Act of Pari, and thereupon 
 they began theFoundation,M2>' 20, i596,andfinifh~ 
 ed the lame in three Years ; endowing it according to 
 the Will of the Donor, and added much of their 
 own Generofity thereto. But finding that what was 
 left of her Legacy (after Purchafing, Building, and 
 other Expences) was not a fufficient Maintenance 
 for fo many Fellows as were at firft intended ; they 
 reduced the 10 Fellowfhips to feven.

 in the Jerufalem-Cbamber in 1 640 •, as likewife one 
 of the Aff.mbh of Divines \ but he never vouchsa- 
 fed them his Company. On the contrary, upon 
 the breaking out of the Rebellion, he joined with 
 the other Heads of the Houfes, in fending the Col- 
 lege Plate to his Majefty. He was likewife in the 
 Convocatian-Houfe, when all the Members of the L- 
 niverfity, there AfTembled (many of them 60 Years 
 old and upwards) were kept Prifoners ir? the Pub- 
 lic Schools, in an exceeding cold Night, till near

 an end to his Life, in fix Weeks after he obtained 
 his Liberty. He was a moft Excellent Govcrnour, 
 and an exact Difci/linaman in his College -, which 
 Flourished fo much under him, that 4 new Fellow-

 and 'twas currently reported, that he died in great 
 Want.

 Rob. Bertie, A.M. Fellowfhip. 
 
 Of whom I find this Note, Regis Mandato Ad- 
 mijfus, Temporum Injuria Pidfus. He was ejected 
 by the Earl of Manchefler, Apr, 8, 1644. He was 
 third Son to the Earl of Lindfey, and Kt. of the 
 Garter, the Kings General at the Battle of Edge- 
 Hill, in which he nobly loft his Life, and had, as 
 fome fay, taken Arms for his Majefty ; but a Re- 
 lation of his faid, that was a Miftake. He was a 
 Charitable good Man, and died in 1708. 
 
 Setb Ward, A.M. Fellowfhip. 
 
 He was born at Bunting ford in HertfordJhir§^ and 
 became Servitor to Dr. Ward the Suffering Mafter 
 of this Houfe ; who being much taken with his 
 Parts and Induftry, got him in upon the Founda- 
 tion. When he was ejected, he was invited to Re- 
 fide at feveral Places •, but he Preferred that of 'Ralph 
 Freeman's, Efq; at Afpenden'm his ownCounty, where 
 he continued off and on, till 1649; about which 
 Time, being with the Lord Wenman at Thames in 
 Oxfordjhire *, Mr. Greaves the Aflronomy-Profeffor 
 in Oxford, laboured to get him for his SuccefTor in 
 that Lecture, after he himfelf had been turned out, 
 which was accordingly effected. But it muff not 
 be concealed, that Mr. Ward, had, at that Time, 
 very much degenerated from his former Principles, 
 and even taken the Engagement. He was fome 
 Time Chaplain to Bp. Brownrigge, who Collated 
 him in 1649, or 1650, to the Chauntery of Exeter % 
 as alfo to a Canonry and Prebend in the fame 
 Church in 1660. In 1654, he proceeded D. D.

 ged Men, with a Stipend of 10.'. per Annum each -,

 Univerfity Printers. 
 
 PRINTING had not been long ufed in 
 England before it was brought hither, but by 
 whom it is difficult to afcertain, tho' it may be 
 fuppofed thatGz,Y/o;7,(who is faid to be the firft that 
 brought this curious art into England, and was a 
 Cambridge Jhire Man, born at Caxton in that Count- 
 ty, from which he takes his Name) might Erect 
 a Pre is at Cambridge* as well as at Weftminjler, un- 
 der the Care of one of his Servants ; ('for it is 
 Conjectured, he brought fcveral from Germany 
 with him) The firft: Book we find an Account of, 
 that was Printed here, is a Piece of Rhdcric, by 
 one Gull, de Saona, a Minorite •, Printed at Cant' 
 bridre 1.; S ■, given by Archbp. Parker to Bennet 
 College Library. It is in Folio, the Pages not 
 Numbered,and without ketch Word, or Signatures. 
 There v/as one John Swert, a Printer at Lyons, 
 in the Ye^r [498 ; who Probably was the John 
 S:bu\h, that Settled here, and {tiled himiejl 
 the Firft in England, that printed both On '•■- and 
 
 I
 
 468 The Htftory of the 
 
 Latin. He was acquainted with Erafmus, who 
 mentions him in a Letter, dated Dee. 25, 1525. 
 
 I find feveral Books, Printed by the faid Sibtrch 
 in 1521 and 1522. 
 
 No Books were Printed herefrom 1522, till the 
 Year 1584; when 
 
 Thomas Thomas, A. M. formerly Fellow of 
 King's College, fet up and followed the art of 
 Printing here, and was Printer to the Univerlity, 
 as well as an Author ; he lived in great Efteem 
 for many Years, and died in 1588. He was 
 buried in Great St. Mary's Church, Aug. 9, the 
 fame Year. 
 
 I find many Books Printed by him in the Years 
 1584, 1586, 1587 and 1588 ; he was by Martin 
 Marprelate, {tiled the Puritan Cambridge Printer. 
 
 John Legate, 1589; Citizen and Stationer of 
 London , fucceeded him as Univerfity Printer. He 
 married Agatha, daughter of Chrijlopher Barker, 
 Efq; the King's Printer, by whom he had a Son 
 who followed the fame bufinefs in London, before 
 and after his Fathers death. 
 
 Legate, in an Edition cfThomasius's Dictionary, 
 expreffing the great Care the Author took to per- 
 fect it, fays, he took fuch pains as ill fuited his 
 Health •, io wholly imploying his Thoughts there- 
 on, as to fpare neither his Time, Fortune, or 
 Himfelf •, with which great Care and Eagernefs, 
 for the fervice of Learning, he threw himfelf into 
 fo grievous a Difeafe, as carried him off the Stage. 
 
 Legate continued in this Office till 1607, (when 
 he refigned) and was the firft that ufed the Imprek 
 fion of the Alma MaterCantabrigia, and 
 round it. Hinc Lucem et Pocula Sacra 
 ufed ever, fince. 
 
 In the; Year 1626; John Legate aforefaid being 
 Jately Deceafed ; Licence was granted to John 
 his Son.

 Thomas Buck, ?,£..*, r jj t 
 Roger Darnel,^' fucceeded Ll S' 
 till 1650, when Daniel either died or re- 
 figned, and Buck continued fole Printer till 
 1653, when he refigned ; who by Will, bearing 
 date Sep. 21, 1667, left Legacies to Katberine-Hall, 
 (where he had his Education) to purchafe Books 
 for the Library. He was buried Nov. 16, 1688, 
 in Great St. Mary's Church. 
 
 John Field, 1654; and in 1655, built the large 
 
 Shop or Printing-houfe now in ufe, the Univerfity 
 
 having (for that purpofe ) taken a leafe for a 
 
 Term or Years of Queen's College, of the Ground 
 
 whereon the faid mop, the Dwelling-houfe thereto 
 
 belonging fcff. are now (landing. 
 
 Edward Hail, about 1688. 
 
 John Hayes, who occurs in 1692. and in 1 704. * 
 
 Cornelius Crownfield, 1696, a Dutchman, who 
 
 had been a Soldier, and a very ingenious Man ; 
 
 fucceeded 
 
 * Thomas Croivnfeld had been now Printer upwards of 8 
 years, yet Hays was ftill Printer alfo , (for according to the 
 Statutes of the Univerfity, they are allowed to have three) and 
 from 169610 1707, when Hayes died; we find they had two, 
 and two fcperate Printing- houies, tha: now in ufe, where//*.' yes 
 Printed, and the Anatomy School and Elaboratory, where 
 Croivnfield Printed, and was built in 1696 See Copy for chat Pur- 
 pofe, and fo continued till Hayes died, when Crvwnfield re- 
 moved to the other, (and from that Time, this new Printing- 
 houfe became the Anatomy School, Sec,) From which Time they 
 have had but one Printing-houfe, tho' for many yean; after, 
 they had two Printers and Jonathan Pindw, \\ ho died in 
 1743, went under thatDenomination, and had a yearly Stip- 
 end as fuch to his death, but as nobody has fincc been cholen 
 to fucceed him ; we may liippoicthe Univerfity Intend :cj c 
 tiuue but one.

 focceeded Hayes as ible Printer in 1707, (when 
 
 Hayes died) he died in 1742, and lies buried in 
 
 Botolph Chance). 
 
 Jofepb BiitLcvn, 1739; (Thp. Crownfield died 
 not till 1742, and continued in the Printing-houfe 
 till then, his fucceflbr was chofe in 1739, 
 faid Crownfield being fo Infirm as to be incapable oi 
 doing the Bufinefs, bom at Ely, and Free of the 
 Stationers Company. He is allowed by all good 
 Judges to be s great a Proficient in thatMyftery as 
 anv in England ; which the Cambridge Common 
 Prayer Bocks and Bibles, lately Printed by him, 
 will fuinciently evince.
