William Fulbeck

a younger Son, if I mistake not, of Thom. Fulbeck who died in his Mayoralty of the City of Lincoln 1566. was born in that City, particularly, as it seems, in the parish of St. Benedict, wherein his Father lived and died, became a commoner of St. Albans Hall in 1577. aged 17. admitted Scholar of C. C. coll. 23. January 1579. took the degree of Bach. of Arts two years after, and then translated himself to Glocester Hall: Where continuing a severe Student till he had taken the degree of M. of Arts, and had compleated it by standing in the Act 1584. he went to Greys-Inn in Holbourn near to London, where he addressed himself to the study of the Municipal Laws; and, as ’tis said, had the degree of Doctor of the Civil Law conferr’d on him elsewhere, but at what place, or by whom, I cannot yet find. He hath written,

But this book lying dead on the Booksellers hands, he put a new Title to the first part, as if the whole had been reprinted at London 1618. but to the second not, leaving the old Title bearing date 1602.

Printed at Lond. in oct. much about the time that the former was.
