    Ah, poore loue ! whi dost thou liue, Thus to se thy seruice loste; Ife she will no comforte geue, Make an end, yeald vp the goaste! That she may, at lengthe, aproue That she hardlye longc belicued, That the harte will dy tor loue That is not in tynie relieued. Ohe! that euer I was borne! Seruice so to be refused; FaythfuU loue to be forborne I Neuer loue was so abused. But, swet loue, be still a whylle. She that hurte the, loue maye healle the; Sweet, I see within her smj-lle. More than reason can reueale the. For, thoughe she be riche and fayre, Yet she is bothe wise and kynde, And, therfore, do thou not despayre. But thy faythe may fancy fynde. Yet, allthoughe she be a queue, That maye suche a snake despyse. Yet withe sylence all vnseene, Runn, and hid the in her eyes. Where if she will let the dye. Yet at latest gaspe of breathe, Say that in a ladyes eye Loue both tooke his lyfe and deathe. S. P. S. Deep lamentinge.' The best engraved portraits of Sidney are, 1. in the Heroologia; 2. by J.

Afterwards upon pretence of being weary of the heresy, as he call'd it, that in his time was practised in England, he went beyond the seas, settled in Paris, took upon him then, if not before, the habit of St. Francis, and Jived as a brother in the house of that order there, where also others of his country lived, and at length became doctor of divinity of the Sorbon, at which time he was held in great esteem for his religion and learning. Afterwards going to Rome he lived among those of his order in the monastery called by Latin authors Ara Coeli, and at length became penitentiary to the church of St. John Lateran there. He hath written, Historia Ecclesiastica de Martyrio fratrum or- dinis Minorum Divi Francisci de Observaiiiia, qui partim in Aiiglia sub Henrico 8 Rege, partim. in JBelgia sub Pi incipe Auriaco, partim 6; i)i Ilibernia tempore Btizabetlm regnantis Reginee, passi sunt ab an. 1536, ad an. 158'2.

Brorbe, or, as some call him, Brockby, Tho. Cortt, Thorn. Belchiam and father John Forest. All which were executed in 1537, and 38. What other things our author Bourchier hath written, I cannot tell, nor any thing else of him, only, that he departed this mortal life [at Rome] about fifteen hundred eighty and six, and was 1386. buried either in the church of St. John Lateran, or in that belonging to the monastery called Ara [230] Coeli before-mention'd.

Wadding ' however possessed in his own library a MS, treatise which he gives to Bourchier, and probably with good authority, De jndicio reli- giosorum, in quo demonsiratur quod a secuiaribus judicari nan possunt.J THOMAS BRASBRIDGE, a Northampton- shire man born, was elected demy of Magd. coii. by the endeavours of Peter Morwyng, an. 1553, aged l6, where after he had continued a sedulous student for some years, was elected probationer- fellow of All-Souls college in 1558. Thence also he returned to Magd. coll. of which he became fellow in 1562, and soon after proceeding in arts, applied his mind partly to divinity and partly to physic. In 1574 he supplicated to be admitted, to the reading of the sentences, but whether he was really admitted, it appears not. The next year he resigned his fellowship, having a spiritual cure, or school, or both, conferr'd on him at, or near to, Banbury in Oxfordshire, where, as it seems, he practised physic. His works are. The poor Man's Jewel, viz. a Treatise of the Pestilence. To which is annexed a Declaration of the virtues of the herbs Carduus benedict us and An- gelica, &c. Lond. 1578, [1580,] and 91, in oct.
