[There is an excellent mezzotinto portrait of Hoper by Houston, 4to. in Rolt's Lives of the Reformers^ EDWARD WOTTON, son of Rich. Wotton, superior beadle of divinity of this university of Oxon, by Margaret his wife, was born within the city of Oxon, particularly, as I conceive, in the parish of St. Mary the Virgin, wherein his father lived, and had houses in Cat-street. After he had been educated in the grammar school joining to Magd. coll. he was first made semi-commoner or demy of that house, and after he had taken the de- gree of bach, of arts, (which was 1513) he was, as I conceive, made fellow. At length upon the de- sire of John Claymond, and Rob. Morwent, who knew the singular virtues and learning of the person, he left that coll. and by the favour of that most worthy person bishop Fox, founder of that of Corp. Christi, was made * socius corn- par' thereof, with leave to travel into Italy for three years, an. 1520. So that after he had read the Greek lecture there for some time, he journied into Italy, studied physic, and took the degree of doctor in that facuky at Padbua. After his return he was settled Greek reader of his coll. was incorporated in the same degree in the latter end of 1525, was made physician to K. Hen. 8, and not only became famous for his happy prac- tice in that faculty in these parts, and afterwards in London (for he was one of the college of phy- sicians there) but also for his great knowledge in philosophy and things natural. He hath trans- mitted to posterity, De different Us Animalium, lib. 10, Par. 1552, fol. [Bodl. P. 2. 11. Med.] By the publishiiig of which he obtained a famous name among learned men, especially with Mich. Ivleander, who-* saith that no author hath written of animals more learned and elegant than Wottonus^. See more in thor for the press, and was in the hands of John Fox, when he was at Basil, for that purpose: but whether printed or no, 1 cannot tell. Strype, Eccleuust.

His treatise De diffe- rentiis Animalium is spoken of in terms of the highest praise by the learned Gesner, who commends it for the judicious selection from the most valuable writings of the ancients, and the great purity of style with which the whole is written. He adds, that the notes are most learned, and the emendations very useful. The volume was dedicated
