See at the end of a book, entit. Pierce's Superaro- gation; written by the said Harvey: and at the end of another called, Have with you to Saffron Walden, &c. written by Tho. Nash a noted poet of his time, and a dramatic writer, as his published comedies shew. Our author Thorius also trans- lated from Spanish into English, a book entit.

The Ser- jeant Major; or, a Dialogue of the Office of a Serjeant Major. Lond. 1590, qu. Written in Spanish by Francisco Valdes master of the camp. I shall make mention of another Joh. Thorius in the Fasti, 1627, and of the name of Thorics in other years there, and elsewhere ; but whether the Thories of Boston and Ingoldmells in Lincoln- shire, who lived there in the time of queen Eliza- beth and king James L and after, were of kin to the aforesaid Joh. Thorie, F know not. Besides all these, I find one Raphael Thorius, commonly called Thoris, a Frenchman, whom I shall set down among the writers under the year l625. JOHN BRIDGWATER, or Aqu^pontanus as he writes himself, was born^ in Yorkshire, as the reg. here quoted saith, but descended from those of his name in Somersetshire, applied his muse to academical studies, at his first coming to Oxon, in Hart-hail; whence translating himself to Brasen-nose soon after, took the degrees in arts, that of master being compleated in 1556, and about that time entred into holy orders. In 1562, May 1, he was admitted' to the rectory of Wotton-Courtney in the diocese of Wells; and on the 14 Apr. 1563, he was elected rector of Lincoln college, on the resignation of Dr. Francis Babington. On the 23 of May following he was^ admitted rector of Luccomb, in the said diocese of Wells, being then also archdeacon of Rochester,' and soon after being made canon j^esidentiary of Wells, was admitted rector'* of Porlock in the diocese thereof, 16 Apr. 1565. In 1570, Nov. 28, he was^ admitted master of the hospital of St. Katharine near to Bednij stre, and in 1572, March 29, to the^ prebendship of Bishops Compton in the church of Wells. In 1574 he resigned his rectory of Lincoln college, to prevent, as I presume, expulsion, because he was actually, or very near it, a Roman Catholic, and had given great encouragement, during his ^ Reg. antiq. coll.

The same year he left Oxon, carried away with him several goods belonging to the said college, and taking with him certain young scholars, left all his preferments, acquain- tance, and relations, and went beyond the sea to Rheimes: where continuing for a time, did at length (as it is said) enter himself into the society of Jesus. He was esteemed by those of his pro- fession a good scholar, and well read in various authors, as many of his writings shew; all vv^hich being published beyond the sea, I have only seen these following. Confntatio virident(Z disputationis Theologica:, in qua Qeorgius Solni proj'essor Academics Heidelber- gensis conatus est docere, Pontficem Roma/nim esse Antichristum a Prophetis Sf Apostolis pradictum. Aug. Trev. 1589, qu. [Bodl. KK. 34. Th.] It must be now known that one Joh. Gibbon a Jesuit,' and John Fenne, having taken a great deal of pains in writing the lives and sufferings of several Popish martyrs, with other matters relating to the Roman catholic cause; their labours were published under this title, Concer- tatio Ecclesite Catholicoi in Anglia adversus Cal- vino-Papistas, Puritanos, &c. Aug. Trev. 1583, in a pretty thick oct. But many things therein being wanting, or defective, our author Bridg- water took more pains in enlarging, and adding to it other matters, with an account of 100 or more popish martyrs, which were partly written by the said Gibbon and Fenne; which being so done, it was printed with this title, like almost to the for- mer, viz. Conceiiatio Ecclesicc Catholica in Anglia adver- sus Calvino-Papistas 6) Puritanos, sub Elizabetha liegina, quorundam hominum doctrina sanciitate illustrium renovata Ss' rerognita, S)C. Aug. Trev. 1594, in a thick qu. and divided into 3 parts. [Bodl. 4to. C. 32. Th.] The preface to it, dedi- cated to John archbishop of Triers ; was writ by our author, who subscribes himself at the end, by the name of Joh. Aqusepontanus : AVho hath also written.

It is printed in the first part of Concertatio Ecclesice Catholicce. A Treatise or Discourse against the six Articles, which are wont to be proposed to Martyrs.
