    presbyterian tells 7 8 us, that the said Dr. Laud f did endea¬ vour to promote him to a Welsh bishoprick,s but was op¬ posed by Philip earl of Pembroke, so Dr. Morg. Owen 9 was [108] preferred in his stead. This Price lived a professed, un¬ preaching epicure and arminian, and died a reconciled papist to the church of Rome, having received extreme unction from a popish priest, &c.’ Thus Prynne ; yet the church 1 historian tells us that Dr. Williams before-men¬ tion’d did much endeavour to make him archb. of Armagh, but denied by the duke of Bucks, ^without any mention made of Dr. Laud his endeavours. But so it was that Dr. Williams being a great favourer of the puritan or presby¬ terian, Prynne therefore made no mention of him, but laid all upon the score of Laud. July 5. Robert Say of New coll. -Will. Twysse of New coll. -Thom. Wyatt of Oriel coll. -6. Thom. Anyan president of C.

Th.] In the year 1619, he being then one of his majesty’s chaplains, was made prebendary of'Gloucester, and afterwards being found unfit to govern a college, because he was a fosterer of faction, he resign’d his presidentship and Was made preben¬ dary of Canterbury; where dying 1632, was buried in the cath. ch. there. Francis James of Ch. Ch. stood in the act this year to compleat his doctorship in divinity, but when he was ad¬ mitted, it appears not in the public register.—He was now in great esteem for several specimens of Latin poetry which he before had made, especially for his poem published in 1612, entit. Threnodia Henricianarum Exequiarum. Sive Panolethria. Anglicana, &c. He was near of kin to Dr. Tho. James mention’d before, and among the writers under the year 1629, was about this time preacher or reader at the Savoy in the Strand near London, and, as it seems, a preacher at St. Matthew’s in Friday-street. At length de¬ parting this mortal life in 1621, was buried, (I think) at Ewhurst in Surrey. , Incorporations. July 7- Franc.

Prynne in his Canterbury's Doom, &c. printed 1646. p. 355. 8 [It was St. ylsaph. Williams, who had been so much his friend, that he had not only strenuously recommended him for the archbishoprick of Armagh in Ireland, but continued him sub-dean of Westminster many years together, was at last his enemy, because he supposed him to be better affected to Laud than to himself, and therefore, that two birds might be killed with one bolt, no sooner was Dr. Price dead, but the bishop of Lincoln, being then at Westminster, calls the prebends together, tells them that he had been with Mr. sub-dean before his death, that he left him in very doubtful terms about religion, and consequently could not tell in what form to bury him: that if the Dr. had died a profest Papist he would have buried him himself, but bein» as it was he could not see how any of the prebendaries could with safety or credit perform that office. But the artifice and design, being soon discovered, took so little effect, that Dr. Newell one of the senior prebendaries performed' the obsequies, the rest of the whole chapter attending the body to the <o-ave with all due solemnity.

Augustin Lindsell M. of A. and fellow of Clare hall2 in Cambridge.—He was born at Bumsted in Essex, was bred 3 scholar and fellow in the said hall, where he became well studied in Greek, Hebrew and all antiquity. “ He was prebendary of Durham, and by the favour of the “ lord treasurer Portland.”—Afterwards he succeeded Dr. Walt. Curie in the deanery of Litchfield 1628, Dr. Will. Piers in the episcopal see of Peterborough, (to which he was elected 22 Dec. 1632) and being translated thence to Hereford, in (December4) 1633, upon the translation of Dr Juxon to London, died at his palace in Hereford 6 Nov. 1634, whereupon his body was buried in the cath. church there.5 He was a man of very great learning, of which he gave sufficient evidence to the church by setting forth that excellent edition of Theophylact upon St. Paul’s Epis¬ tles. 6 Thomas Goodwin M. A. of the said university, 7 was also then (July 9.) incorporated, as it is said in the public regis¬ ter ; but if he be the same person whom I shall mention among the creations an. 1653* I should rather think that he was incorporated batch, of arts. Sam. Buggs was incorporated M. of A. the same day.— See more of him among the writers in John King, an. 1638. Vol. ii. col. 632. July 12. Edmund Wilson doctor of phys. of King’s, coll.3 in Cambridge and fellow of the coll, of physicians in London.—On the 18 Dec. 1616, he was installed canon of Windsor on the death of Dr. Rich. Field, but because he was not ordained priest within a year following, he was de¬ prived of his canonry and Dr. Godfrey Goodman succeeded, being installed 20 Dec. 1617. This Dr. Wilson, who was son of Will. Wilson mention’d among the doctors of divi¬ nity under the year 1607, and had practised his faculty several years in Windsor, died in the parish of St. Mary le Bow in London about the beginning of Oct. 1633, at which time, or before, lie gave many books to Line. coll, library in Oxon. 2 [Augustin Linsell aul.
