John Fell D

. of D. and Dean of Christ Church in Oxon, became Bishop of Oxford on the translation of Dr. Henry Compton to London, in the latter end of the year 1675, and dying in July in sixteen hundred eighty and six, (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers,1686. p. 602.) was succeeded in the said See by Dr. Samuel Parker, as I have among the Writers told you, and shall among these Bishops. He the said Dr. Fell left behind him the character among some men of a Valde vult person, who by his grasping at and undertaking too many affairs relating to the public (few of which he throly effected) brought him untimely to his end to the loss of learning, &c.
