may heare 'confessions; and against pilgrimages. Joye was, I doubt not, a conscientious man; but being summoned to appear (1527) before the Cardinal's Court at Westminster, and the Bishop of Lincoln, (for Joye, like Erasmus, did not like burning) he seemed to think where a man has not a right to demand the truth, and would ruin you on discovering it, that you are free to reply by falsehood, or to mislead by a manoeuvre. So, at least, he acted; and under shelter of a fib, he escaped beyond the sea. Honestly enough he gives the account himself. At Strasburgh he printed the "Priour of Bedford's Letter," which had occasioned his summons, together with his Reply; and sent his "Lytel Boke a" from Strasburgh to this Friar, of Newnham Abbey, in Bedford. He also printed a piece of the Unite and Schisme of the old Cherche; at Strasburgh, too, I suppose, but undated. He is also said to have translated a part of Tindal's Bible; an edition of which was printed at Strasburgh in 1534, and is called Joye's Bible.

Two or three names, that may be seen in Carter, I indeed I doubt whether one of the persons was pass; ever of this College; so he shall be mentioned where he is known certainly to have been a member.

b Mr. Lewis (Account of Translations of the New Testament, prefixed to his edition of Wickliffe's New Testament) says, the whole of Joye's translation was done by Tindal: but as distinct parts were published by Joye, as particularly the Psalter, 1534, and Jeremy, with the Song of Moses, 1534, the probability, I think, is, he had a share in the translation. Since writing the above note, I have perused a later edition of Lewis's Account of Translations, &c. and perceive he has

Two writers, as much engaged in the controversies of Queen Elizabeth's reign, I shall distinctly notice: one was, Dr. Whitgift, already introduced as engaged in controversy with the famous Dr. Cartwright, at Cambridge. He afterwards was made Master of Trinity, and wrote an answer to Cartwright's book, entitled an Admonition to the Parliament, and a Defence of it against Cartwright. There are some writings of his, also, against the Church of Rome. He was in great favour with Queen Elizabeth, who raised him to be Archbishop of Canterbury a.

Mr. John Penry, who had been scholar of this House, was distinguished among the Puritans. He is mentioned as the author of Theses Martinianæ, a Protestation, and a Dialogue, with other pieces. He is described by the Episcopalian party, as the author, or, at least, one of the authors, of Martin-Mar-Prelate, which made such a noise at the time. But his own party, the Puritans, seem to deny, that he was: and, as I have never seen his Trial, I can have no opinion on the subject. However it was, he was executed for it in 1593.

a There is a Life of him, in folio, by Dr. Birch.

b See Dr. Nichol's Defence of the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England, book ix. p. 32; and (as quoted in R. Smyth's MS.) Stilling fleet's Unreasonableness of Separation, p. 51.

e Mr. Udal, a well-known Puritan, and intimately acquainted with Mr. Penry, declared, "he did not believe Mr. Penry was the author;" and Mr. James Peirce says, "the Government seems never to have had any certain information of the true author, and, that he had met with nothing but the declaration of his opponents to induce him to believe it. See Jacobi Piarcii Vindiciæ Non-Conformistarum. Part. en Primam.

Mr. Fynes Morison wrote Ten Years Travels through Germany, and other Countries, in Latin, which he translated himself into English. He died about 1614.

Dr. Peter Baro, already introduced as engaged in the Theological Controversies of his time, at Cambridge, was originally of this College. He was author of Prelectiones in Jonam Prophetam, and de Fide, agreeably to the turn of his Cambridge disputes, against the Predestinarians.

Bishop Wren I shall have occasion to speak of under Pembroke Hall; but as he was originally of this College, he may be just mentioned, as writing against the Socinian or Racovian Catechism, and Scotch Covenant. He published also various Epistles to Learned Men.

Mr. Thomas Grainger is mentioned by R. Smyth (MS.) as being styled by Anthony Wood, "a noted writer of his time, author of several Sermons, and of a Syntagma Grammatica, or an Easy and Methodical Explanation of Lily's Grammar.”

R. Smyth (MS.) mentions Robert Sprackling, M. D. as having been of this House, and as "the author of Medela Ignorantiæ, or a Full and clear Vindication of Hippocrates and Galen from the Charge of Magic, against the Medela Medicinæ of Melcham, and that he died 1670" he also notices "Charles Hotham, as Fellow, who wrote, an Introduction to the Teutonic Philosophy, being a Determination of the Origin of the Soul, printed about 1661.”

Bishop Walton, the learned editor of the Polyglott, already mentioned, was of this House: he proceeded B. A. 1676, A. M. 1680, and L. L. D. 1688.

During the disorders and dissensions between the Parliament and Loyalists, 20 loyalists are mentioned as ejected from this College: of these, being known by their writings, I shall distinctly speak of four.

Thomas Cosins, D. D. was the first ejected loyalist in this University, being cast out in 1640. He was Master: Mr. Walker describes him as a very learned man, but without mentioning, as indeed is generally his manner, his literary writings". There is an elegant Latin Life of Cosins by Dr. Thomas Smith, who gives an account of his "Scholastic History of the Canon of sacred Scripture," and of his "certain and undoubted books, as they are received in the English Church?" He was particularly skilled in Ecclesiastical Annals, the History of the Councils, Sacred Chronology, and the controversies relating to the Papists and Puritans. He, however, directed by his will, that his MSS. might not be published; which Dr. Smith hoped would, by some means, not be complied with: and, according to Robert Smyth, this must have been eventually the case; for, in his MS. he notices two other works of Cosins, one, de Sacris symbolis et præsentia Christi in Sacramento Eucharistiæ, the other, Catholica Harmonia Patrum veterum, et ecclesiarum Reformatarum. After his ejectment, Dr. Cosins passed much time abroad: on his return, he was ad

a QUERELA CANTABRIGIENSIS says 20; but, according to Mr. Walker (Sufferings of THE CLERGY) they were all ejected but one; and the number of Fellows was 22.

b Sufferings of the Clergy, &c. p. 152; and again, p. 60.

vanced to the bishopric of Durham, where he died in 1672.

Of the other ejected loyalists, during the long parliament, three more, at least, are known as men of some genius and considerable learning. Dr. Joseph Beaumont, already mentioned, and Rich. Crashaw, the poet, author of the Temple of the Delight of the Muses, in Latin and English, once, though I never saw a great deal in it myself, much admired, but one admired by Cowley must have something in him that was good. He was first of Pembroke Hall, as A. B. 1634, and went to Peter House. He became M. A. 1638.

In a modern edition of Crashaw's poems, Young and Pope, and even Milton, are said to have borrowed much from him; but the presumption is, that both Crashaw and Milton were indebted to the same Italian poet, Dante and it is pretty clear that Crashaw's best poem is derived from Strada's Elegant Prolusions. After his ejectment, he went to Rome, turned Catholic, and used to retire to the steeple of our Lady at Loretto, to perform his devotions, and to make verses. He died at Loretto, in 1650. Walker, after speaking of his skill in languages, and his exalted piety, adds, whimsically enough, and yet he was a disgrace to our list"." Crashaw was ejected by a warrant from the Earl of Manchester, dated June 11th, 1644. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Joseph Beaumont, being then Fellow, was ejected by the Earl of Manchester, April 8, 1644. After the Restoration, he became Regius Professor of Divinity; at first Master of Jesus College, and afterwards of this.
