The last saving one, viz. John Sclatyer, accumulated and compounded. Incorporations. May 7- Samuel Baker M. of A. of Christ’s coll, in Cambr.4—He afterwards became a puritannical preacher in Lond. and much followed; but being taken off from those courses, was made houshold chaplain to Dr. Juxton bishop of London and a creature of Dr. Laud archb. of Canterbury. About which time being rector of St. Mary on the hill and of St. Christopher’s in Lond. where his preaching was much applauded by some, became prebendary of St. Paul’s ca¬ thedral. On the 20th of Sept. 1638, he being then D. of D. was install’d canon of Windsor, on the death of Dr. John King sometimes fellow of Mert.. coll, but he being soon after made prebendary of Canterbury, he resigned his ca- nonry, and Tho. Browne batch, of div. of Ch. Ch. in Oxon was installed therein 28 May 1639. This Dr. Baker, who was a great licencer of books, but publisher I think of none, gained a great deal of envy from the Puritan for his partiality in that office; for which and his great respect to the tenets of Arminius, he was in the beginning of the rebellion pursevanted and imprisoned, and at length de¬ prived of his spiritualities.5 Thomas Hurst M. of A. of the said university was in¬ corporated the same day.—He was afterwards D. of D. chaplain to K. Ch. I. and minister of Lednam (in Lincoln¬ shire.) He hath published The Descent of Authority: or, the Magistrate's Patent from Heaven, Sermon at Lincoln as¬ sizes, 13 March 1636, on Gen. 9. 6. Lond. 1637, qu. and other things, as I conceive, Quaere. On the 14th of July, after the conclusion of the act, these Cambridge men following were incorporated. Joh. Harding M. of A.—One of both his names who had been a Dominican or Black fryer, did speak A Recanta¬ tion Sermon in the Gatehouse at Westminster, 30 July 1620 ; On Psal. 119. 71- Lond. 1620, qu. containing motives why he left the church of Rome. Whether he be the same with the former who was M. of A. I know not. Thomas Scot M. of A.—One of both his names, also, who was batch, of div. of the said university,6 and a preacher in the city of Norwich, hath several things extant, as the Oxford Catalogue tells you; but he is not to be taken for the same who was M. of A. because, if I mistake not, the batch, of div. died 1624, aged 45. 4 [Sain.

Baker the bishop of London’s chaplain being one morning desired to present a petition from a minister to his lord for a prebend’s place carried the matter so craftily that he had it for himself, yet it did him no wood, for ere night, the weight of his body broke his legs.
