He gave way to fate in a good old age, within the said Monastery of Anchine, 1625 on the 28. day of Sept. in sixteen hundred twenty and five, and was buried in the Cloyster there. Over his grave is an Epitaph beginning thus.

The rest you may see in Hist. & Antiq. Vniv. Oxon. lib. 2. p. 307. b. In this Hen. Holland’s time were one, two, or more writers of both his names, as (1) Hen. Hol. who wrote A treatise against Witchcraft, &c. Camb. 1590. qu. and the same, as it seems, who published Spiritual preservations against the Pestilence; and added thereunto, An admonition concerning the use of Physick. Both printed 1603. qu. (2) H. Hol. who published the Hist. of Adam, or the fourfold state of Man, &c. Pr. 1606. qu. and Christian Exercise of Fasting, private and publick, &c. Pr. 1596. qu. Whether this H. Holland be the same with the first, (who was of Cambridge, as it seems,) I cannot tell, unless I see their respective books; neither can I say to the contrary but that he may be the same H. Holland, who published the Posthuma of his Brother Abrah. Holland sometimes of Trin. coll. in Cambridge.—Lond. 1626. Which Abraham (who was author also of a Poem, called, Naumachia; or Hollands Sea-fight. Lond. 1622. qu.) died on the 18. of Febr. 1625. (3) Hen. Holland, Son of Philemon Holland a Physician and Schoolmaster of the City of Coventry, who was born there, travelled with John Lord Harington into the Palatinate, in 1613. and collected and wrote, Monumenta Sepulchralia Ecclesiae S. Pauli Lond. Printed in qu. Also Herologia Anglica, sive effigies, vitae & elogia clarorum & doctorum aliquot Anglorum, ab an. 1500. ad 1620. Lond. 1620. in two tomes. fol. and did engrave and pub. a book, intit. A book of Kings, being a true and lively Effigies of all our English Kings from the Conquest till this present, &c. 1618. But this Hen. Holland was not educated either in Oxon or Cambridge, having been a Member of the Society of the Stationers in London. See in the Fasti, among the incorporations, an. 1572.
