sometimes a Student of Christ Church, was consecrated Bishop of Landaff in 1601, thence translated to Hereford in 1617, and died in the beginning of the year sixteen hundred thirty and three; 1633 under which year you may see more of him among ther writers. To the said See, (after Goodman of Glocester had endeavoured to obtain) was elected Dr. Will. Juxon of Oxon, but before he was consecrated, he was translated to London; whereupon Dr. Augustin Lindsell Bishop of Peterborough was translated thereunto in (Dec.) 1633. After him followed Mathew Wren D. of D. of Cambridge; the temporalities of which See (Hereford) were given (a)(a) Pat. 10. Car. 1. p. 39. to him 24 March. 10. Car. 1. Dom. 1634-35. But he being soon after translated to Norwych, Theophilus Field of Pembroke hall in Cambridge (born in the parish of S.
