Ryves, Bruno
, related to sir Thomas Ryves, mentioned in the next article, a loyal divine and celebrated
preacher, was born in Dorsetshire, and educated at New
college, Oxford, of which he became one of the clerks in
1610, and was afterwards, in 1616, appointed one of the
chaplains of Magdalen college. Having taken his degrees
in arts, he attained great reputation as a preacher, and was
made vicar of Stanwell, in Middlesex, rector of St.
|
Martin’s Vintry, in London, chaplain to king Charles I. and
in 1639, doctor in divinity. When the rebellion broke
out, he was sequestered and plundered. At the restoration
of king Charles II. he had the deanry of Windsor conferred
on him, with the rectory of Acton, in Middlesex, and was
made secretary to the garter. He died July 13, 1677. His
works are, “Mercurius Rusticus; or, the Country’s Complaint, recounting the sad events of this unparalleled War,”
&c. These Mercuries begin August 22, 1642. “Mercurius Rusticus, the 2d part, giving an account of Sacrileges,
in and upon Cathedrals,” &c. When the war was ended,
all these Mercuries were reprinted in 8vo, in 1646 and
1647, with an addition of the papers following: 1. “A
general Bill of Mortality of the Clergy of London, &c. or
a brief Martyrology and Catalogue of the learned and religious Ministers of the City of London, who have been imprisoned, plundered,” &c. 2. “Q,uerela Cantabrigiensis
or, a Remonstrance by way of Apology for the banished
Members of the flourishing University of Cambridge.” 3.
“Micro-Chronicon or, a brief Chronology of the Time
and Place of the Battles, Sieges, Conflicts, and other remarkable passages, which have happened betwixt his Majesty and the Parliament,” &c. 4. “A Catalogue of all,
or most part of the Lords, Knights, Commanders, and
Persons of Quality, slain or executed by Law Martial, from
the beginning of this unnatural War to March 25, 1647.”
And here we may observe, that the edition of 1647 has
more in it than that of 1646. Dr. Ryves has likewise printed
several occasional sermons, and is said to have assisted in
the celebrated Polyglot Bible. 1
