Mr. We/wood fays, the cardinal would change countenance whenever he heard the name of the PROTECTOR, infomuch that it be– came a proverb in France, that Mazarine was not fo much afraid of the devil as of 0. CRoMWELL. Such was the terroi of this great man's name in the principal courts of Europe! ne death of This year died the right reverend and pious Dr. Jojeph Half bi!hop of Dr. Han bp. Nor7e;ich, whofe praCl:ical works have been in great efleem among the of Norw<eh. dilfenters. He was born at AJU;y de la Zouch in Leicejlajhire, and educated in Emanuel College Cambridge. When he left the univeriity, he travelled with Sir Edmund Bacon to the Spm.v in Germany. Upon his return, he was taken into the fervice of prince Hmr)', and preferred to the reCl:ory of Waltham in Ej}ix, which he held twenty-two years. King Janzes fcnt him to the fynod of Dort with other englijb divines, where he preached a Iatin fermon; but was forced to retire to England before the fynod broke up, on the account of his health. Some time after his return, he was preferred to the bi!hopric of Exeter, and from thence tran!1ated to Nor'lpich. At the beginning of the troubles between the king and par– liament, the bi{hop publi!hed feveral treatifes in favour of diocefan epif– copacy, which were an{wered by Smetlynnuus, as has been already re– lated.

The folcliers ufed him feverely, turning him out of his palace, and threatening to fell his books, jf a friend had not given bond for the money, at which they were appraifed. The bilhop complained very jufily of this ufage, in a pamphlet entitled ha1·d meafure. At length the parliament to make him fame amends, voted him 40 I. per annum; and when the war was ended, in the year 164-7, they took off the fequefi:ration from his efiate, and the bi!hop lived peaceably upon it afterwards, [pending his folitude in aCts of charity and divine meditation. He was a learned and pious man, and of great humility and goodnefs in converfation; but his being the tool of archbi!hop Laud in fupporting the divine right of diocefan epifcopacy, Fulle•'s lelfened him in .the efieem of the parliament. Mr. Fuller {ays, he was Worthies, frequently called our englijh Seneca, for the purenefs, plainnefs, and ~uiBook I!. P· nefs of his fiile. He was more happy in his praCl:ical than polemical x3o. writings.
