Henry Yelverton

Baronet was born of an antient and gentile family at Easton Manduit or Mauduit in Northamptonshire, baptized there 6 of July 1633, educated in Grammar learning in S. Pauls School in London, admitted a Gent. Com. of Wadham Coll. in 1650, where he made as great proficiency in several sorts of learning as his age was capable of, and became so exact a Latinist and Greecian, that none of his time went beyond him. He hath written,

A short discourse of the truth and reasonableness of the religion delivered by Jesus Christ. Wherein the several arguments for Christianity are briefly handled, the miracles done by our Saviour, Apostles and Christians, &c. Lond. 1662. oct. To which is added, A disquisition touching the Sybils and Sybilline writings, &c. Written by John Twysden, Broth. to Sir Rog. Twysden of Kent, both the Uncles of Sir H. Yelverton, who hath also written something in vindication of the Church of England against Edw. Bagshaw of Ch. Ch. which I have not yet seen; and a preface to a book of Dr. Tho. Morton Bish. of Durham entit. The Episcopacy of the Church of England justified to be Apostolical, from the authority of the Primitive Church, &c. Pr. in oct. Which Bishop Sir Hen. had kept in his family several years in the time of that Bishops persecution, and was as tender of him, as of his parent, shewing thereby, as indeed he was, a true Son of the Church of England. He died in the flower of his age on the 3. of Octob. in sixteen hundred and seventy,1670. and was buried at Easton Manduit among the graves of his relations, leaving then behind him by Susan his wife, sole daughter and heir of Charles Lord Grey of Ruthen, Charles his eldest Son, afterwards a Noble-man of Ch. Ch. and called up to the House of Lords, where he took his place as Lord Grey of Ruthen. He died of the small pox, unmarried, in his Lodgings in the Pall-mall, within the liberty of Westm. on the 17. of May 1679, and was, as I suppose, buried at Easton Manduit.
