John Cartwright

, who seems to have been descended from the Cartwrights of Washbourne in Glocestershire, received his Academical education in Magd. coll. but whether he took a degree in this University, it appears not. Afterwards he travelled, was, as it seems, in holy Orders, and after his return published these books following.
