Harvey’s ill luck to fall into the hands of that noted and restless buffoon Tom. Nash in his Apologie of Pierce Penniless, and Have with you to Saffron-walden. In both which books they are loaclen with all the scurrilities imaginable, as being according to Tom’s words, c false prophets, weather-wizards, fortune-tellers, poets, philoso¬ phers, orators, historiographers, mountebanks, ballad- makers,’ &c. The reader is to know that ’twas not this Gabriel Harvey that made a raised causey of three miles long near to Cambridge, as the learned Cambden 5 tells us, but Henr. Harvey, LL.D. Master of Trim hall,6 son of Rob. Harvey of Stradbroke in Suffolk ; which Henry died in the winter-time in 1584, leaving behind him a nephew and heir called Lewis Harvey of Eye in the same county, father of Robert Harvey, fellow of the said hall of Trinity, doct. of the laws of Camb. and doct. of physic of Padua. In my searches I find one Gabriel Harvey, LL. D. of Saffron- walden in Essex to die unmarried in 1630 (6 Caf. I.) which, if the same with him before-mention’d, who was the writer (as I think he was) then was he at least 85 years of age when he died, if not 90.7 Doctors of Physic. .Tul. 8. Christoph.

I have seen an elegy on Dr. Harvey of Safron Walden, composed by Win. Pearson, dated an. 1630, whereby it appears, he died that year. By that, it should seem, he practised physic, and was a pretender to astrology : and so was his brother It. H. Baker. See my MSS. Coll. vol. vx. p. 104. Cole.] the East, in Oxon. Doctors of Divinity. Jun. 21. Hen. Gervace of Mert. eoll. Jun. —Rob. Condall or Cundall of Brasen-n. coll, a compounder.—In 1577, he was made archdeacon of Hunt¬ ingdon in the place of Dr. Joh.

He died on the 12 of March, or thereabouts, an. 1612, and was buried in the choir of the cath. ch. at Wells; where¬ upon Tim. Rivett or Revet, D.D. succeeded him in his archdeaconry. Incorporations. Jul. 2. James Summers, who was made M. of A. of St. Andrew’s university in Scotland, an. 1565, was incorporated in the same degree.—Tho. Dempster in his S cot orum Scrip- torum Nomenclatura, at the end of his Apparatus ad Historiam Scoticam, doth make no mention of this Jam. Summers (born at Edinburgh) as a writer, tho’ he was a learned man; and therefore I can say no more of him, only this, that he living many years in Oxon near to Madg. coll, died there, and was buried in the chureh of St. Peter in the East, 30 Aug. 1610.
