IIeylin of Magd. coll. the ?th of Feb. 1627, this Dr. Baylie, who was then batch, of div. and one of the king’s chaplains, as also a dignitary in the church of St. David, was collated to the archdeaconry of Nottingham upon the promotion of Dr. Jos. Hall to the see of Exeter. Which dignity he resigning, was succeeded by Dr. Will. Robinson,5 (brother by the mother’s side to Dr. Will. Laud, archb. of Cant.) who was installed therein the 25th of May 1635: at which time Dr. Baylie was dean of Salisbury,4 in the place of Dr. Edm. Mason, w hom I shall anon mention in the incorporations. He died in a good old age at Salisbury, (after he had suffer’d much for his loyalty to K. Ch. 1.5) on the 27th of July 1667, and was buried at the upper end of St. Joh. coll. chap, on the right side of the grave of Dr. Will. Juxon, sometimes archb. of Cant. In the year 1662, he built a little chappel at his own charge, (and not at that of St. Joh. coll, as, by a mistake, is elsewhere6 told you) situate and being on the North side of the said chappel of St. John’s, with a vault underneath, “ consecrated privately on the 13th of March 1675, in or- “ der to receive the body of his son Mr. Rich. Baylie, a “ merchant in London.” In which chappel was, soon after his death, a stately monument erected, with the effigies of him the said Dr. Baylie lying thereon, curiously engraven in alabaster from head to foot, and much resembling him in his last days. One Richard Baylie, sometimes minister of Crawley in Sussex, wrote The Shepherd's Star, or Minister's Guide. Cone, ad cler., in Apoc. 1. 16. Lond. 1640, qu. At which time the author, as it seems, was dead. But where he was educated, being quite different from the former, I know not. July 16. Thomas Laurence of All-s. coll. pres, regis per promot. Mattli. Wren ad epatum Hereford: eodem die ad archidiat. Nott. per resign. RiciBayly, S.T. P. Reg. Ebor. Rennet.] 4 [1632, 24 Apr. Ric. Baily, S.T.P. admiss. ad vicar, de Northall per resign. Will.

Baily, S.T..B. coll, ad preb de Chiswicke, 2 Maii 1631. See his epitaph in Le Neve’s supplement, 71; and of Eliz. his wife, 74. Rennet.] 5 [‘ It is farther to be noted, that upon some of the moneys of this kind of all sorts as well of gold, as of silver, the letters Ox or Oxon. occur under the date: and these pieces were very probably minted out of plate or bullion furnished by the gentlemen of the university or city of Oxford. There are besides some others that have under the date an R and a B interlaced: these are, I believe, all dated in 1644, and are of silver only. They are reported to have been thus marked in memory of Dr. Richard Baylie, president of St. John’s college, and dean of Salisbury, a gentleman who suffered greatly after¬ wards for his services to the king, and who is said to have procured him a considerable loan about this time; but what credit is to be given to this tra¬ dition I shall not determine.’ Folkes’ Eng. Silo. Coins, p. 90. There is no question but that this money, thus marked, was formed from the plate belonging to St. John’s college, which was one of the first societies, if not the first, that gave this substantial demonstration of their loyalty.] 6 In Hist.
