sometimes of Balliol college, afterwards Chaplain to Thomas Lord Buckhurst, and then to the Earl of Dunbar, with whom he was solemnly sent into Scotland, for an effecting of an Union in the Hierarchie, was consecrated Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry 3 Dec. 1609, translated to London about the latter end of January following, and in 1610 he was translated to Canterbury, on the death of Dr. Richard Bancroft. He departed this mortal life in sixteen hundred thirty and three; 1633 under which year you may see more of him among the writers. In the See of Canterbury succeeded Dr. William Laud, as I shall tell you at large when I come to the next Vol. of this work.
