James Janeway

a Ministers son, was born, as it seems, at Lilly or Lulley in Hertfordshire, became a Student of Ch. Ch. in 1655. or thereabouts, took one degree in Arts, and became Tutor for a time to one George Stringer in his mothers house at Windsore, the same I mean, who was afterwards a Commoner and M. of A. of the said College. So that our author who had all his education under Presbyterians and Independents, did, after his Majesties restauration, set up a Conventicle at Redriff near London, where to the time of his death he was much resorted to by those of his persuasion, and admired for a forward and pretious young man, especially by those of the female sex. His works are,

Langley, became a zealous Presbyterian, and dying in June 1657, was buried in Kelsall Church in Hertfordsh. This life is recommended to the world with an Epistle, written by Mr. Rich. Baxter.

Legacie to his Friends containing 27 famous instances of Gods providences in and about Sea-dangers and deliverances, with the names of several that were Eyewitnesses to many of them. Lond. 1674. 75 oct. Before which book is the authors picture in a cloak, aged 38 years, and at the end of it is a Sermon intit. Sea-dangers and deliverances, on Acts 27.18.19.20. by Joh. Ryther a Nonconformist of Wapping near London. The said Legacie is several times made use of by Increase Mather in his Essay for the recording of illustrious providences.

Saints memorials: or, words fitly spoken, like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Being a collection of divers sentences, Lond. 1674. oct. Edm. Calamy, Ralph Venning and Jos. Caryl had a hand, besides Janeway, in the said memorials. He died on the sixteenth day of March in sixteen hundred seventy and three,1673/4. and was buried 4 days after in the Church of S. Mary in Aldermanbury within the City of London, near to the grave of his father. At which time his friend Mr. Nath. Vincent preached his funeral Sermon; which being extant, the reader may satisfie himself more of the character of Mr. Janeway therein. Several Elegies I have seen, that were made on his death, as that by Ralph Venning, who saith he died on the 10. of March, another by Anon. who tells us the 12. of the said month, &c. but both false.
