XXIX. Two Archbishops, some LawyerS AND SCHOLARS XXX. MEN OF SCIENCE-MASTERSHIP OF DR. ADAMS ROMANTIC AND TRACTARIAN MOVEMENTS BICENTARY-MODERN BUILDING AND REBUILD- 428 APPENDIX A. UNIVERSITY DISTINCTIONS; PRELATES. D. A FORM OF PRAYER TO BE USED AT EVENSONG ON THE DAY OF THE COMMEMORATION ADDENDA. P. 39. Dr. William Tooker.-For a fuller account of him see Wood, Ath. Ox. i. 385, 386. He calls him an excellent Grecian and Latinist, an able divine, a person of great gravity and piety, and well read in curious and critical authors.' P. 40. Minote Hall.-For certain gifts by Robert le Mignot to St. John's Hospital, see Wood MS. D. 11, p. 26. The references passim to Wood MS. D. 2 should mention pages, not folios. P. 108, n. I. Sir Lewis Stukeley. It was he who seized and subsequently betrayed Ralegh. See Wood's Ath. Ox. i. 371. P. 129. James Martin.-The Eidyllia in Obitvm følgentissimi Henrici Walliae Principis duodecimi, Romaeque ruentis terroris maximi (Oxford, 1612, small quarto, with woodcuts), was edited undoubtedly by James Martin under the name of 'Jacobus Aretius' ("Apŋs, Mars), and almost all of the thirty and more poems -besides the three Idylls in hexameter verse, called 'Amyntas,' 'Tityrus,' and 'Daphnis,' which are presumably by Martin himself-were written by Broadgates Hall men. Mr. Falconer Madan, who kindly draws my attention to this volume, possesses the Editor's copy with his list of authors' names. The Editor and writers, he remarks (Early Oxford Press, O. H. S., p. 80), are more disguised than usual. One of the poems is in Chaldee (Hebrew type), one in Syriac, one in Arabic, one in Turkish (these three in Roman type), and a few in Greek. The volume testifies to the learning, and I presume to the Puritan sympathies, of the Lateportenses at the close of the Hall's career. It was in 1612 very full (see page 146). P. 141. John Milton.-This person is doubtless the same as one John Melton who gave 225. in the year 1620 towards the enlargement of the dining hall, and who is described in Dr. Clayton's book of contributors as 'generosus, Aulae Lateportensis olim Comensalis.' P. 238. Sir Peter Pett.-Another accomplished Bachelor of Arts from Cambridge (matr. Sidney Sussex College, 1629) was CHARLES GATACRE (Gataker, Catagree, Categorye, &c.), son of Thomas Gatacre, 'the learned presbyterian.' He took M.A. from Pembroke June 30, 1636. When Lucius Lord Viscount Falkland made his retirement at Great Tew a rural Academe, to which Sheldon, Morley, Hammond, Earle, Chillingworth, and the choicest philosophers and wits of Oxford resorted, Charles Gatacre was one of those in whose converse he took delight. Wood (Athenae, i. 501) thinks he was afterwards his chaplain. He became rector of Hoggeston, Bucks, in 1647, and died there November 20, 1680, aged 67. Lord Falkland's second son, Sir Henry Cary, 'so exceeding wild and extravagant that he sold his Father's incomparable Library for a Horse and a Mare,' married Rachel, daughter of the Sir Anthony Hungerford who entered Broadgates Hall in 1623. See page 233. P. 249, line 25. Rosewell.-This is the date given in Foster. But see page 230. One HENRY ROSEWELL, who entered Broadgates in 1607, was knighted. |
