    sovereign, (the Lord’s anointed) it was a fit time to silence and remove Mr. Udall; for neither Dr. Gouge his church in the Black-fryers, or Mr. Jo. Goodwin’s in Colemanstreet were half so full before the long parliament began, as Mr. Udall’s had been since. First therefore they plundered his house,9 take away his library and houshold stuff, then remove him from his ministry, and sequester the profits thereof, for a Levite of their own. Afterwards they sought to commit him to prison, tho’ aged and very weak and infirm in body, and at length carried his aged and decrepid wife out of her doors by force, and set her in the open street to shift for herself. This most pious and meek man, who had been favoured in his ministry by the Vincents of Stoke-Dawber- non in Surrey, baronets, hath written other things, among which is, The Good of Peace, “ and the III of War, “ Sermon on Psal. 29. 11. “at St. Paul’s July 1642,” Lond 1642. qu. He surrendered up his “ most” pious and devout soul to God, about the latter end of May 1647,1 at which time he desired that his body might be buried in the chancel of All¬ hallows in Hony-lane in Cheapside in Lond. unless the parishioners of St Austin desire to have the disposing of it. In a most unworthy2 pamphlet entit. The first century of matters of Ephraim Udall, viz. ‘ that he hath affirmed that f the great reformers of the church now are hypocrites; and ‘ and hath made, framed and published a book, entit. Noli ‘ me tang ere, without license, charging the parliament with f sacrilege, in endeavouring to abolish episcopacy, and to ‘ take away the lands of deans and chapters, to amend c therewith the maintenance of preaching ministers; and ‘ that thereby they have brought a national sin on the land, f as was formerly done by them in taking monasteries,’ &c. For which, and other passages in the said book, he was thrown out of his rectory by the blessed parliament, as it was then called. An. Dom. 1631.—7 Car. 1. Chancellor. Dr. Will.

Heath of All.-s. coll, was also admitted the same year, but whether he was afterwards doctor of his faculty of this univ. I cannot tell.
