Chap. Hf. The HISTORY oj the PuRit'ANs. 83 was eminent for learning; but I do not remember that he has given anyK. Charjes I. fpecimens of it to the world. ~ Dr. LANEY was firfl: chaplain to Dr. Neil, and afterwards prebendary Ib. p. 15 3. of rVijlminfter; he was one of the king's divines .at the treaty of Ux- Cal.amy's bridge, and attended upon king Charles 11. in his exile; after the refl:ora,- abndg. P· tion he was fuccefiively bi!bop of Peterborough, Lincoln, and Ely, and 173 · was more favourable to the non-conformifl.s than fome of his brethren. He has fome fermops extant, and a final! treatife againfl: Hobbes. Dr. CoLLINS was regius profe/for, provofl: of King's College, and rec– tor of Fenny_ Ditton; of which lafl: he was deprived by the earl of Man– chefter, for his fieady adherence to the royal caufe. He kept his provofl:!hip till the year I645· and his profeifodhip much longer. He died SufF. Cler. in the year 1651. and had the reputation of a great fcholar (fays Dr. p. 150. Barwick,) and his name was famous in foreign univerfities, though he has tranfmitted very little down to pofierity. Dr. MARTIN was one of archbi!hop Laud's chaplains, and one of Mr. White's fcandalous minifl:ers; he was accufed not only of pratl:ifing the late innovations, and of being in the fcheme of reconciling the church of England with Rome; but . of ftealing wheat !heaves out of the field in harve£1: on the fabbath day, and laying them to his tithe ftock. He was very high in his principles, and was imprifoned for fending the univerfity plate to the king. After his enlargement, he retired to France, and at the rell:oration was preferred to the deanry of Ely. Loyd fays he was a godly man, and excellently well ikilled in the canon, civil, and common law; but Mr. Prynne gives him a very indifferent character; and biihop Kennet acknowledges his principles were rigid, and his temper four. Ken. chr. p. Dr. STERN was another of archbifhop L aud's chaplains, and impri- 67o. foned for the fame reafon as the former. He afterwards afiift ed the arch– bifhop on the fcaffold, and lived reti red till the refioration, when h e was made bi!hop of Carlijle, and in I 664. archbilhop of York. He had a SufF. Cler. fober, honell:, mortified afpetl:, but was of very arbitrary principles, and p. r46. a very uncharitable temper ; for when Mr. Baxter, at th e Savoy conference, was entreating the bi!hops not to cafl: out fo many minilh:rs in th e nation, he made this mean remark to his brethren, that M r. Baxter wopld not ufe the word kingdom left be lhould own a king. Dr. BEAL E was alfo imprifoncd for fending the univerfity plate to the king; after his enlargeme nt he retired to Oxford, and was one of the preachers before the court, but upon the declining of the ki ng's caufe, he retired to Madrid, where he died about the year I 65I. H e was a mapSufF. Cler. of very high principles ; · thou~h if we may believe the querela, a perfon P· 148. of fuch worth, as rendered h1m above the reach of commendation. M 2 Dr.
