Buckland, Ralph
, a popish divine of some note^
was born at West Harptre, the seat of an ancient family
of his name in Somersetshire, about 1564. In 1579, he
was admitted commoner in Magdalen college, Oxford, and
afterwards passed some years in one of the inns of court.
Having at last embraced the popish religion, he spent seven years in Doway college, and being ordained priest,
returned to England, acted as a missionary for about twenty
years, and died in 1611. He published, 1. A translation
of the “Lives of the Saints” from Surius. 2. “A Per.
suasive against frequenting Protestant Churches,” 12mo.
| 3. “Seven sparks of the enkindled flame, with four lamentations, composed in the hard times of queen Elizabeth,”
12mo. From this book, archbishop Usher, in a sermon
preached in 1640, on Nov. 5, produced some passages
hinting at the gun-powder plot. The passages are not,
perhaps, very clearly in point, nor can we suppose any
person privy to the design fool enough at the same time to
give warning of it. This Buckland also wrote “De Persecutione Vandalica,” a translation from the Latin of Victor, bishop of Biserte, or Utica.1
