386 Mr. N E A L 'S U Vol. of the And we are told, * ' That the Presbyterians, < whilft the Archbifhop was living, feiz'd upon all his Eftate, deprived him of all his Benefices, and offer'd many rude Intuits towards his Perlon. It's well known, how the King, in confideration of the Bifhop's great Merits,had given him large Prefer- ' merits in Ireland; but upon the breaking out of the 1ri/h Rebellion, he fuffer'd great Loffes ; info- much that he was obliged to fell his Plate and Jewels for a Subfiftence : which occafion'd the King to bellow on him the Bifhoprick of Carpe ; ' the Revenues of which were loon after feized up- ' on byOrder of Parliament. It's true, they voted him a Penfion, which has been fhown to be only nominal, not a real Favour. It's no wonder that ' the Iri/h Papifts fhould feize upon the Eftate of a ' Proteftant Bifhop ; but that he fhould meet with worfe ufage from the hands of thofe, who would be thought the only true Proteftants, cannot be accounted for. Cardinal Richlieu {bowed him many marks ofhis Kindnefs andEfteem, in honour of hisgreat Learning. But our reformingParlia- ment were equally Enemies to his Learning, and Epfeopal Dignity. For they made an Order for the feizing of his Study of Books, and had expo- " fed them to Pale, if Come Perlons, who had In- , tereft with them, had not obtain'd them for their. own Ufe ; but many of his Writings and Papers were imbezel'd and ftolen away, to the great lofs of the Learned World: and the Godly Af prius obtexerant Larva, Ufferius Oxonii fub Caftrorum Regiorum pr eiidio tutus, Rebellionem jam apertâ facie ubique graffan- tern ex animo execratus eft, multofque Concionibus affiduis, Colloquies, Hortatibus, &c. nutantes in fide erga Regem pra: llanda confirmavit, Lapfbfque reftituit.
