PREFACE.

Bishop Cartwright was educated at Oxford, and is
accordingly noticed by Wood, whose summary of the
principal events of his Hfe contains nearly all the infor
mation concerning him which the Reader will require as
preparatory to the perusal of the following Diary.
" Thomas Cartwright, son of Thomas Cartwright,
sometimes schoolmaster of Brentwood in Essex, was born
in the antient borough of Northampton, on the 1st Sept.
1634, educated in the school there, and being puritani
cally educated under Presbyterian parents, was sent to
Magdalene Hall, where spending two terms in the study
of logic, was forcibly put into Queen's College by the
visitors appointed by parliament, anno 1649, and at that
time he was put under the tuition of Mr. Thomas TuUy.
Afterwards he was made Tabarder and Chaplain of the
College for a time; but before he was elected Fellow,
he left the house (having before been ordained priest by
Dr. Robert Skinner, Bishop of Oxon), and became vicar
of Walthamstow in Essex, and a very forward and confi-

Vl PREFACE.
dent preacher for the cause then in being. In 1659 I
find him chaplain to John Robinson, Esq. Alderman, and
then Sheriff of London, and a preacher at St. Mary
Magdalene, in Milk Street; but whether he did then
enjoy the vicarage of Barking in Essex, which he did
after his Majesty's restoration, I cannot tell. After the
King's return he showed himself very forward to express
his loyalty, and was made domestic chaplain to Henry
Duke of Gloucester, procured himself to be actually
created Doctor of Divinity, though not of full standing
for it; was made Prebendary of Twyford in the cathe
dral church of St. Paul, minister of St. Thomas Apostle
in London, prebendary of Shalford in the church of Wells,
and chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty. In Nov. 1672^
he was installed Prebend of Durham, struck in on the
death of Dr. TuUy his quondam tutor, and was made
Dean of Ripon, in the latter end of 1675. Afterwards
putting in with great boldness before his seniors for a
bishoprick, particularly that of St. David, but put aside by
Dr. L. Womack, was at length made Bishop of Chester
on the death of the most learned and religious Dr. John
Pearson, to which see being consecrated with Dr. Lloyd
to St. David, and Dr. Parker to Oxon, at Lambeth, on
17th Oct. 1686, had liberty then aUowed to him to keep the
vicarage of Barking, and the rectory of Wigan in Lanca
shire, which he before had obtained in commendam with

PREFACE. vii
his bishoprick. In the next year, he being then in favour
with King James the Second, and ready upon all occa
sions to run with his humour, purposely to obtain a
translation to a better bishoprick, he was by him not only
added to the number of Ecclesiastical Commissioners, but
also appointed one of the three Delegates or Commis
sioners (Sir Robert Wright, Chief Justice of the King's
Bench, and Sir Thomas Jenner, one of the Barons of the
Exchequer, being the other two,) to go to Oxon to
examine and determine the affairs relating to Magdalene
College, and what they did there in ejecting the President
and Fellows thereof, a book, entitled, " An Impartial
Relation of the illegal proceedings against St. Mary
Magdalene College, in Oxon," &c. Lond. 1689, 4to. sec.
edit, collected by a Fellow of that College, will at large
teU you. At that time this Bishop making it his sole
endeavour to be gracious vpith the then great and lead
ing men, and to show himself in all public assemblies,
particidarly in those wherein the Roman Catholic Bishops
were consecrated, he gained the ill-will so much of the
sons of the Church of England, that when the Prince of
Aurange made his expedition into England, he out of fear
of suffering for what he had acted, and of the insults of
the rabble (then committing great disorders in London
and most parts of the nation), did withdraw himself in
private, skulk, and in a disguise fled into France ; where

vm PREFACE.
repairing to his royal master King James the Second,
then lately come thither to avoid imminent danger in
England, had by him, on the news of Dr. Ward's death,
the bishoprick of Salisbury conferred on him ; and while
he abode at St. Germain's, he did usually read the Liturgy
of the Church of England in his lodgings to such Protest
ants that came thither to him. Afterwards he went with
his said master towards Ireland, landed there on Tuesday
12th March, 1688, and on Sunday following being at
Cork, he received the Sacrament from the hands of the
Bishop of that place. On Palm Sunday, March 24th, he
went to Dublin with the King, and on Easter day and the
Octaves of Easter 1689, he again received the Sacrament
at Christ Church there, from the Bishop of Meath, to
which church Bishop Cartwright went daily to prayers.
Afterwards being overtaken with the country disease
caUed the flux or dysentery, he finished his course there,
on Monday morning, April 15, 1689." Wood then gives
a list of his printed Sermons. We have afterwards an
account of some circumstances of his latest moments,
(from which the inference is drawn that he showed an
aversion to Popery,) and also of the honours paid him at
his funeral. He was buried in Christ Church, Dublin. a .
a Ath. Oxon. fol. 1692, vol. ii. col. 629—631.

PREFACE. IX
Burnet speaks of him thus :
" The other two Bishopricks were less considerable :
so they resolved to fill them with the two worst men that
could be found out. Cartwright was promoted to Ches
ter. He was a man of good capacity, and had made
some progress in learning. He was ambitious and servile,
cruel and boisterous ; and, by the great liberties he
allowed himself, he fell under much scandal of the worst
sort. He set himself long to raise the King's authority
above law ; which he said was only a method of govern
ment to which Kings might submit as they pleased ; but
their authority was from God, absolute and superior to
law, which they might exert as oft as they found it neces
sary for the ends of government. So he was looked on
as a man that would more effectually advance the designs
of Popery, than if he should turn over to it. And,
indeed, bad as he was, he never made that step even in
the most desperate state of his affairs." *
Richardson's description of this Prelate is even more
severe :
" Thomas Cartwright, a Jacobo, jam tum in ecclesia res
novas moliente, ad hane Diocesin evocatus est ; eo ipso
dignus habitus qui in Ecclesia Anglicana ad sedem Epis-
copalem promoveretur, quod ad ipsius ornamentum aut

Whether any thing that is peculiarly harsh in what
is said of Bishop Cartwright is to be attributed to
party prejudice, or that all is sufficiently borne out by
facts, it does not appear that any person has come
forward to vindicate his memory, but that this estimate
of him has passed into the general current of history
and human opinion.
One recent writer only may be referred to.
Sir James Mackintosh ascribes his elevation to the
episcopal dignity to the courtly doctrines inculcated by
him in Sermons which he afterwards printed and circu
lated, and speaks also of the grosser charges contained in
the passage quoted from Burnet.''
Whether any thing which is recorded in this Diary by
the Bishop's own hand will, when compared with other
historical facts, deepen any of the darker shades of his
character, or set his conduct in a fairer light, may be
left to be determined by the reader, and by those who

PREFACE. XI
may hereafter use the amount of secret history con
tained in this Diary in any critical review of the period
to which it belongs. It is published with no purpose of
pressing upon the memory of one who, whatever may
have been his faults, is gone to his account, or, on the
other hand, of clearing away any of the clouds which rest
upon his memory. This open promulgation of it is made
simply with the view of placing in the hands of persons
who may be engaged in the study of the period of history
(undoubtedly a critical and most memorable period) to
which it relates, what it is not too much to designate as an
historical document of a curious character, on which, as far
as it goes, the most perfect reliance may be placed ; a do
cument which admits us to some acquaintance, not be
fore possessed, with the secret transactions of the time,
and particularly with those which had reference to the
then very hazardous state of the Reformed Church of
England. That more may not however be expected from this Diary
than it will be found to contain, it is proper to add, that it is
merely a recital of occurrences, many of them of no im
portance, written down with a hasty and careless pen; day
by day, useful memoranda to which afterwards to refer,
and seldom with any thing of motive or opinion : the
private record of his private life, sprinkled however with
many passages which concern the public ; and nothing can

Xll PREFACE.
be plainer than that it was written with not the most dis
tant expectation that it would ever be regarded as part
of the materials for our national history.
In the use of a private record of this nature, when it
has passed from the hands of those who are the legitimate
possessors, and also the natural guardians of a dead man's
reputation, there is undoubtedly a reserve to be used; and
even the lapse of more than a century may not be sufficient
to justify the publication of every thing which a man has
left in writing, in the confidence that it would fall under
no observation but that of those who would bave a natural
and tender regard for his memory. But this reserve must
not be carried too far: and it may require to be set aside, out
of regard to the higher interest of preserving the stream
of history pure, and especially when such a document
exhibits fully and clearly what a prominent actor in any
historical period thought and did. Without such mate
rials as these, we should have no authentic history of events
which have influenced our social" and political condition :
and it is not perhaps too much to say, that we shall have
a juster apprehension of the course of events which led up
to the Revolution of 1688, and understand more fuUy the
imminent hazard in which the Reformed Church of Eng
land was placed, now that this Diary is added to the ori
ginal materials for the history of those times. When this
is the case, there is surely sufficient to justify tbe sacrifice

PREFACE. XUl
of some degree of delicate reserve, and to save the Society
harmless, who placed this private Diary in the list of its
Manuscripts deserving publication. At the worst, the
publication of an authentic record of his proceedings, at
the distance of a hundred and fifty years from the time
of his death, is but the price which is paid by one who
aUowed himself to interfere to a great extent with the
religion and Uberties of his country, and who trod, though
but for a short time, the paths of a high ambition in the
full sunshine of the favour of his royal master.
Of private family affairs, or personal habits, there is
little, if any thing, to which the reserve spoken of can
apply. If any thing ought to be left out of this publi
cation, from regard to that reserve, it is matter peculiarly
relating to the Bishop's public life, and therefore what it
is peculiarly necessary to make public. We find through
out, this Protestant Bishop in constant communication
with the Roman Catholics of the time, both those whom
he found in his own diocese, and those who were more
especially the agents for the Court of Rome, in the
design of re-uniting England to the Church of which
Rome was the head, and communicating with them appa
rently on matters of the greatest importance to the well-
being of the church.
At the same time, it may not be unseasonable to pre
sent before the reader the words of one of the most

XIV PREFACE.
sensible and kind-hearted of our old authors, whose name
it wiU be unnecessary to mention when the lines are read,
which are so full of his peculiar genius and character :
" Now, an exact Diary is a window into his heart that
maketh it, and therefore pity it is that any eyes should
look therein, but either the friends of the party, or such
ingenious foes as will not (especially in things doubtful)
make conjectural comments to his disgrace." "
It has not been discovered who are the present repre
sentatives of the Bishop, who, though born in Northamp
tonshire, is not supposed to belong to the existing family of
Cartwright of Aynho. It will be seen that the Bishop had
several sons, and many relatives are named by him, most
of whom appear to have resided in that county. In the
manuscript is the book plate of " George Watkin, B.D.
of Lincoln College, Oxford ;" but the history of the ma
nuscript has not been traced. Twelve or fourteen years
ago it was in the hands of a bookseller at Northampton, of
whom it was purchased by the gentleman from whom it
passed to the present possessor.
In form it is a small octavo, bound in black leather, and
is written throughout. The hand-writing is loose and
rambling, and there is the same inattention to uniformity
in orthography, especially of proper names, which prevails
a Church History of Britain, XVIIth Cent. p. 218.

PREFACE. XV
through most of the manuscript of England down to a
recent period. It also abounds in contracted forms, and
words but half written, and in some places there are pas
sages which are written in characters. The system of
short-hand which the Bishop used bespeaks his Puritan
origin. It is that of Rich, which appears to have been
constructed for the peculiar purpose of taking down the
Sermons of Puritan Divines, and which long continued to
be in general use among the descendants of the Puritans,
and is so even to the present day.
In this publication no regard is paid to the contractions
or the mere carelessnesses of orthography in the original
manuscript: but as the passages written in characters
are for the most part passages of more curiosity than the
rest, and it may be presumed that recourse was had to
that mode of writing for secrecy as weU as for expe
dition, it has been thought proper to distinguish such
passages by placing them within crotchets.
In a very few instances, the transcriber has met with
difficulties such as are sometimes found in decyphering
epistles of our friends at the present day. If there should
therefore be here and there a slight error, it is hoped that
it may be pardoned. If the passage was in any respect
material, a doubtful word has been dotted out. With this
exception, the whole Diary is given without any curtailment,
not omitting even entries which, separately considered.

XVI PREFACE.
are wholly unimportant. Certain official documents relating
to the Bishop's elevation to the See of Chester, which the
book contains, it has been thought unnecessary to publish.
It was the original intention that this Diary should be
printed as an historical document, without any species of
annotation, in the same manner as the Diary of Henry Earl
of Clarendon, of nearly the same period, was published.
The public taste however, it is said, requires an apparatus
of notes to all publications of this nature, and, in defer
ence to that taste, a few are added explanatory of some
of the circumstances and events noticed in the Diary, or
intended to identify persons named, and thus to save the
trouble of a reference. AU idea of doing more was set
aside as unsuitable to a publication of this nature. The
attempt has not even been made to identify every person
whom the writer names, those only of some distinction
being noticed. Such an effort would have been attended
with an expense of time and labour whoUy dispropor
tionate to the occasion ; and would, at last, in many cases,
have proved ineffectual; and this, even though I have
been favoured with the assistance of one who is so inti
mately acquainted with all the minuter parts of the history
of the period, as is the noble Lord who honours the Cam
den Society by taking a part in the direction of its affairs.

incident with those of Cartwright, and it was understood that he would succeed Cart
wright in the Bishoprick of Chester, in the event of Cartwright's elevation to any other
dignity. Yet it appears that on October 6, 1687, the Bishop suspended him from his
office. In his wUl, which is printed by Ormerod (Cheshire, vol. ii. p. 40), he declares
that he dies " in the communion of the Catholic Church, and more immediately of that

p. 71.) There was no good understanding between Jeffries and Cartwright; and on
one occasion, two years after the time of which we are speaking, Cartwright received a
rebuke from the King for saying in his cups that Jeffries and Sunderland would de

Bishop Lloyd not to consecrate them tUl he had examined the truth of those articles ;
yet when he saw what danger he might incur if he were sued in a prremunire, he con
sented to consecrate them. An accident happened in the action that struck him much.
When he was going to give the chalice in the sacrament, he stumbled on one of the
steps of the altar, and dashed out aU the consecrated wine that was in it ; which was
much taken notice of, and gave himself the more trouble, since he was frightenedto
such a consecration by so mean a fear."— Own Times, Svo. 1823, vol. iii. p. 138.

music. The company that dined with him were at liberty to rise and amuse them
selves, or take a nap, whenever they were so disposed ; but the dishes and bottles were
all the while standing upon the table." A contemporary, Abraham de la Pryme, in
his MS. Ephemeris, says that he " pretended to be distracted, and would make all his
men rise up at midnight, and wonld go a hunting with torch-light." This mode of
living is said to have been affected by him in order that he might be thought unfit for
public affairs at a time when things were going in a manner of which he did not ap

• Sir James Poole was the head of the Roman Catholic family of Poole, of Poole, in

the same parish of Eastham, at Hooton, and also a Roman Catholic.
¦> There seems to have been a reason for this which will appear afterwards. The Mr.
Massey, at whose house the bishop dined, must have heen the neighbour of the Pooles
and the Stanleys, Massey of Podington, the head of another of the great Roman Ca
tholic families of the hundred of Wirral, probably WiUiam Massey, who appears in one
of Mr. Ormerod's pedigrees (Cheshire, vol. ii. p. 809) , father of the last of the name at
Podington, who was engaged in the Rebellion of 1715, and dying soon after left his

the designs of the King, aud held a commission for the command of a troop in the Earl
of Shrewsbury's regiment of horse, and was promised by the King, in a private audience,
the regiment and a peerage if he would support in the House the Bill for the repeal of
the Penal Laws against the Papists, and the Test Act. But he refused, " preferring,"
as says the Peerage from whence these facts are derived, "the religion and liberty of his
country to all honour and power, so likely at that time to be attended with popery and
slavery." His lady, it appears, had different views. She was the sole daughter and
heir of Alexander Davies, of Ebury, esquire, and brought the large property in the
city of Westminster to the Grosvenor family, which is now possessed by them.
Davies-street has its name from this family. They married in 1 676. Sir Thomas died
at the age of forty-three in June 1700. Of the history of his lady, after his decease,

remember how vehemently the King had declared against tolera
tion, and said he would never by any counsel be tempted to suffer
it. My Lord President repUed ; though they could not choose but
remember it, yet they might choose whether they might repeat it
or not, for other men as well as the King had altered their minds
upon new motives. They both extolled the Bishop of London,*
even to the condemnation of the King.] The Bishop of St. Da

night. My Lord of Durham and I visited Bishop Labourne.

themselves before the King with a petition that their clergy might be excused from
reading the Declaration, when they boldly referred the King to the fact that the dis
pensing power had often been declared to be illegal iu Parlieunent. Yet he as well as
others of the seven Bishops, though they had stood prominently forward in this act as
opponents of the measures of King James, could not approve of the removing him
from the throne, and retired into private life rather than offend their consciences by
taking the oaths to King William ; a great and memorable instance of mighty sacrifice
being made at the call of conscience. Of the other Bishops who were present on this
occasion, Crew and Sprat, though they signed the address, and were at least not ac
tive in their opposition to the measures of the Court in matters of religion, took the
oaths to King William on the change of the times. Cartwright and Parker did not
live long enough to be put to the trial.
' The King issued his mandate to the Vice-chancellor of Cambridge, Dr. Pechell,
to admit to the degree of Master of Arts, Allan Francis, a Benedictine monk. Com
pliance was refused ; whereupon Francis summoned the Vice-chancellor to appear be

• This seems the proper place to introduce an outline of the Magdalene College
affair, as far as it had then proceeded. A mere outline will be sufficient. Informa
tion having been received on March 31 of the death of Dr. Henry Clarke, the
President of the CoUege, the Vice President, Dr. Aldworth, gave the usual notice to
the FeUows to assemble to elect a successor on the ensuing 13th of April. In the
interim a Mandate was received from the King, dated April 5, requiring the FeUows
to make choice of one Anthony Farmer, who was not a member of the College. Against
this both the Bishop of Winchester, who was Visitor, and the Fellows, remonstrated, and
besought the King to withdraw his recommendation, alleging that Farmer had not
the qualifications required by the statutes, and was on many accounts an objectionable
person ; and on the day of Election they refused to comply with the King's mandate,
and placed Mr. John Hough in the Presidentship, who on the 16th was regularly
admitted by the Visitor, before the Visitor had received an inhibitory Letter written
on the I7th by Lord Sunderland. In obedience to the King's command a statement
of the whole case was transmitted to Lord Sunderland by the Vice President and Fel
lows, when the King directed the Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes to proceed
against them for this act of disobedience. They were summoned to appear in the
CouncU Chamber at Whitehall on the 6th of June, to answer to such matters as should
be objected against them. Of what passed on that day we have had an account in the
Diary. The Vice President and a Deputation of the FeUows attended again on the 13th,
and put in their answer, when the further consideration of the business was adjourned
to the 22d of the month.
On the 22d they again attended, when, in justification of their conduct in refusing to
elect Mr. Farmer, they deUvered in a paper containing, amongst other objections to
the person whom the King had recommended to them, charges of immorality, some of
them of a very gross nature, but, gross as they were, supported by evidence delivered
on oath. This is the paper of which the Bishop speaks in such strong terms. The
issue was, as stated in the Diary, that the Commissioners declared the election of Mr.
Hough void, and suspended Dr. Aldworth from his office of Vice President and Dr,
Fairfax from his place as FeUow.
Thus stood the affair at the present time. Dr. Johnson, who dined with the Bishop
after the sentence, is Dr. Nathaniel Johnston, from whose work, entitled, " The King's
Visitatorial Power Asserted," 4to. 1688, and from the manuscript papers of Dr. Aid-
worth, now in the possession of Lord Braybrooke, this brief notice is compiled. In
the latter we have a copy of the charges against Mr. Farmer, who, whether guilty to the
fuU extent or not, was evidently an unfortunate choice on the part of the King in an
affair in which great caution was peculiarly requisite, and the selection of such a person
shews either inexcusable negligence in the King's advisers, or that they were driven to

sence of his Majesty and my Lord Chancellor and Lord President,
received his commands to provide for our journey to Oxford on
Tuesday next, and my coach not being in town, upon my Lord
Peterborough's motion his Majesty promised me to give order to
my Lord Dartmouth i* to provide me one against the time, and
" The Magdalene College affair had proceeded in the following manner, since the
time when the election of Mr. Hough was declared nuU, and the Vice-President, Dr.
Aldworth, had been removed. When the orders of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
were sent to the Fellows, there was no one who would admit that he was the proper
person to receive them, so that the messenger returned with them to town ; whereupon
the Fellows were summoned to appear before the Commissioners for their contempt,
and the messenger was directed to proceed again to Oxford and to afifix the orders to
the gates of the College. Meanwhile, a royal inhibition was issued against any pro
ceeding to election to any office in the College by the Fellows. The FeUows appeared
by a deputation, and alleged various irregularities in the form or delivery of the notice.
On August 14 the King, abandoning Mr. Farmer, issued his mandate, addressed to Dr.
Pudsey, the senior FeUow, and the rest of the FeUows, commanding them to admit to
the office of President the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Samuel Parker, to which they unani
mously replied that they conceived the place to be already full. In this they persisted.
The addition to the Commissioners of the Bishop of Chester, Sir Robert Wright,
Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Sir Thomas Jenner, one of the Barons of the
Exchequer, was then made, and the Visitation of the College by the three new Com
missioners resolved upon. This was communicated to the Bishop on the I3th, and he
took his seat at the Board on the 1 7th.

to the Letter to a Dissenter, to carry to] Bishop Labourne, who
carae to London this night. [The King asked me concerning the
letter written by Ld. CI. to Sir J. A. blaming me and Mr. Dean for
our zeal in the Address ; and he promised to chide the Dean at his
coming up, and desired me to refer the matter to F. P. who would
cause him to make what submission I could expect.] I moved Sir
Nicholas Butler for my cousin Fletcher, who promised to be kind
to him for the future for my sake.

sents. Dr. Fairfax, because in town, and not appearing, was pro
nounced conturaacious, psena reservata in prox. The buttery
book brought up by the butler, and the statutes by Dr. Hough.
Dr. Hough desired a copy of the commission in writing, which was
denied him, and then he in his own name, and the greatest part of
the fellows, said. He did submit to the visitation, as far as it is
consistent with the laws of the land and the statutes of the college,
and no farther ; and said, he must suffer no alteration in any sta
tute by the King, or any other ; for which he had taken an oath,
from which he could not swerve, and for which he quoted the sta
tutes confirmed by Henry the Sixth, and their oath in them, that
they should subrait to no alteration made by any authority. Then
Dr. Hough's forraer sentence of deprivation was commanded to be
read ; to which he replied, he was never cited nor heard, and
therefore supposed the sentence to be invalid, and refused to sub
mit to it, though he confessed he had notice of it. The college's
petition to the King to recomraend some other in Farmer's room.

answer to it. Dr. Hough replied, their fifteen days were out before
April 15, on which they had no other sent to thera ; and requiring
hira to give up the register, he promised we should have it to
morrow morning. Dr. Rogers' petition for the organist's place,
worth £60 per annum, of which he says he was unduly deprived,
was given in by Mr. Holloway and filed, and so we adjourned tUl

88 THE DIARY OF

[1687,

the next day at 8, We visited Dr, Halton and the Bishop of
Man, Mr, Spencer, Mr. Welsh, Mr, Holloway came to visit us.
22, We called in the steward with the books of leases and
court rolls, which were delivered him back, tiU we made farther
use of them. The butler brought the buttery book, and Dr, Hough
being caUed in again, I told him, 'Doctor, here is a sentence under
seal before us of the King's commissioners for visiting the univer
sities, by which your election to the presidentship of Magd. CoU.
is declared nuU and void, which you yesterday heard read, and of
which you confessed yourself to have legal notice before it, being
fixed upon your doors. This sentence, and the authority by which
it was passed, you have contemned, and in contempt thereof have
kept possession of the lodgings and office to this day, to the great
contempt and dishonour of the King and his authority. Are you
yet willing, upon second and better thoughts, 1st, to submit to
this sentence passed by the Lords upon you, or not ? 2ndly, WiU
you deliver up the keys and lodgings, as, by a clause in your oath
at your admission, you are tied to do, for the use of the president,
who has the King's letters mandatory to be admitted into that
office ?' To the first he says, that ' the decree of the commissioners
is a perfect nuUity from the beginning to the end, as to what re
lates to him, he never having been cited, nor having ever appeared
before them either in his person or by his proxy ; besides, his
cause itself was never before them, their Lordships never inquir
ing or asking one question concerning the legality and statutable-
ness of the election, for which reasons he is informed that the
decree was of no validity against him, according to the methods
of the civil law; but if it had, he is possessed of a freehold accord
ing to the laws of England and the statutes of the society, having
been elected as unanimously and with as much formality as any of
his predecessors, presidents of the college, and afterwards admitted
by the Bishop of Winchester, their visitor, as the statutes of the
coUege require ; and therefore he could not submit to that sen
tence, because he thought he could not be deprived of his free-

hold, but by course of law in Westminster Hall, or by being some
ways incapacitated, according to the founder's statutes, which
were confirmed by King James I.' Then the Dr. asked, ' whether
we acknowledged his title to the presidentship ?' I replied, ' No ;
for we looked upon him as malae fidei possessor, or an intruder.'
He replied, that ' the Bishop of Winchester raade him so, and said
that he was satisfied in his own title, and therefore did not think
himself concerned to apply to the commissioners tiU caUed, and
that he expects legal courses should be taken against him, if he
keep legal possession.' To which I replied, that ' the election was
undue, because the King had laid his hands by his mandamus
upon the college, which was an inhibition.' To the second ques
tion he answered, ' there neither is nor can be any president so long
as he lives and obeys the laws of the land and the statutes of the
place, and therefore he does not think it reasonable to give up his
right, nor the keys and lodgings now demanded of him. He takes
the Bishop of Winchester to be their ordinary visitor (and the
King to be his extraordinaryj as he believed, but it had been con
troverted whether the King had power to visit or not, in Coveney's
case, 4 Ehz.) and yet he would deny him the keys, because he
looks upon comraanding the keys from him, to be requiring him
to deUver up his office. He said he had appeared before us hitherto
as judges, and that he now addressed to us as men of honour and
judgment, and besought us to represent him as dutiful to his Ma
jesty to the last degree, as he always would be, where his conscience
permits, to the last moment of his life ; and when he is dispos
sessed, he hopes we wiU intercede, that he raay no longer Ue
under his Majesty's displeasure; or be frowned uponbyFis Prince,
which would be the greatest affliction could befal him in this world.'
Which having promised, I admonished him to depart peaceably
from the president's lodgings, and to act no more as president or
pretended president of the coUegei^in contempt of the King, and
his authority, 1™, 2<^°, et tertio.
Mr. Leigh accused his contumacy, and prayed our judgment,

which was this : ' The Lords Commissioners for ecclesiastical causes
and for visiting the university, have declared the president's place
of this coUege to be nuU and void, and therefore we, by virtue of the
King's authority to us comraitted, do order and command Dr.
Hough forthwith to quit aU pretensions to the said office, and that
his name be struck out of the buttery book, and do admonish you
the fellows and other members of this society no longer to own
him as your president.'
Then we read the King's mandate for the Bishop of Oxon, and
so adjourned to the same common room till 2 in the afternoon.
Then Dr. Pudse/s letter, 28 Aug. '87, was read, which the doctor
owned, and the fellows their consent to it. We asked them con
cerning the King's verbal command to them at Oxford, which
they said was, to elect the Bishop, which they could not. We
asked them why they did not admit him, which was aU the King's
letter required, to which his verbal command referred. Dr. Smith,
Dr. Bayley, Dr. HoUis, Mr. Bagshaw, Hicks, Howner, Cradock,
and Charnock, said they were not there. Dr. Stafford, Mr. Al
mond, Hammond, Rogers, Dobson, Bayley, Davies, Bateman,
Hunt, Oilman, Pennison, Holden, and Wilks, said tbey were. Dr.
Hough came in with a great crowd of followers, and said, 'Whereas
your Lordships this morning have been pleased, pursuant to the
former decree of the Lords Commissioners, to deprive me of the
place of president of this college, and to strike my name out of the
buttery book ; — I do hereby protest against the said proceedings,
and against all that you have done or hereafter shall do in preju
dice of me and my right, as illegal, unjust and null; and I do
hereby appeal to our Sovereign Lord the King in his courts of
justice.' Upon which the rabble hummed, and Dr. Hough was
accused by my Lord Chief Justice of bringing them in ; upon
which he required the peace of hira, to which he was bound in
£1000 bond, and his two sureties in £500 each; and I gave the
Dr. this answer : — ' Doctor, we look upon your appeal, as to the
matter and manner of it, to be unreasonable, not admissible, and

not to be admitted by us : 1. Because it is in a visitation, where
no appeal is allowable : 2ndly, because our visitation is by com
mission, under the broad seal of England, which is the supreme
authority, and therefore we overrule this your protestation and
appeal, and admonish you once for all to avoid the coUege and
obey the sentence.'* The doctor and fellows declared their grief
for the disorders of the crowd, and disclaimed having any hand in
it. Mr. Tucker read the paper, 4 Sept. attested by a public notary,
and deUvered to the King ; and the feUows acknowledged it to be
theirs, after which we adjourned tiU Tuesday at 8 in the morning.
The Vice- ChanceUor,'' Warden of New College,'^ and others, came
to visit us in the evening, and the Bishop of Man from the col
lege, to beseech us not to animadvert upon the libel or the hum
ming, but to accept their acknowledgments of the just respects
which they professed to owe us for our candour towards them ;
after which we sent a messenger, with an account of what we had
done, to the King, and a letter to Lord Sunderland and Lord
ChanceUor. 23. Having had prayers in our lodgings, we went to sermon to
Christ- Church, where Dr. Smith preached ; frora whence we re
turned to dinner, and with us the officers, Mr. Chetwin, Mr.
Brown, and our landlord and landlady. After which we went to
St. Mary's to church, where the preacher, Mr, Entwisle of Brasen
nose, made reflections on some Bishops, of which the Papists had
hopes, but that they must destroy them all, before they could do
their business: after which we visited the master of Brasennose,
the proctor, the warden of All Souls,^ and Mr, Clarke, where the
warden of New College came to us, and supped with the Bishop

of Man, where the provost of Queen's," and warden of AU Soulsj
and Mr. Chetwin, met us, and we staid till 8 at night. I received
the Bishop of Oxford's letter and answered it.
24. I wrote to the Chancellor of Chester not to pubUsh the
suspension against the Dean tiU farther order from me, according
to the Dean's desire, by letter. There dined with us Mr. Hol
loway, our landlady, two more ; after which I went to Cuddesden
to visit the Bishop of Oxon. Dr. Hough gave us a visit at my
return, and then we went to the Vice-ChanceUor's, from whence
at our return we met with Mr. Charnock, and I received a name
less letter to caution us in the business of Magdalene CoUege ; and
the Vice-Chancellor published a diploma against humming, &c.
occasioned by Saturday's miscarriage in Magd. Coll. The Earl of
Lichfield^ sent us a brace of does. I went to Cuddesden.
25. We met at Magdalene, called over the fellows, &c. read
the Bishop's proxy for instalment of Mr. Wickens, and then said ;
' By virtue of the King's commission to us directed, we do order
and decree the Right Reverend father in God, Samuel, Lord
Bishop of Oxon, to be installed by his proxy Mr. Wickens in the
president's stall in the chapel of this college forthwith, and the
chapel doors to be opened for that purpose.' Which we saw effec
tually done by Mr. Leigh, who tendered him the oaths of presi
dent, aUegiance, and supremacy ; which having done, we returned
into common room, where, having called in the feUows, &c. Dr.
Stafford gave me a paper in the behalf of himself and the feUows,
but subscribed by none but himself and Dr. Fairfax, of which hav
ing told him the danger, he humbly desired to withdraw it, to
which we consented. We then propounded to them this ques
tion : ' WiU you submit to the Bishop of Oxon, now installed your
president by the King's mandate, in Ileitis et honestis ?' And they
desired tUl the afternoon to consult together, and to give in their

answers in scriptis, which was granted them ; and then we sent
for a smith, and broke open the outward door of the president's
lodgings, in the first room whereof we found aU the keys, and left
Mr. Wickens in quiet possession, and so adjourned. The Bishop's
lady. Judge HoUoway's daughter, and many of the officers dined
with us.*

' Here the Diary ends, the volume being filled. It may be added, that of the Fel
lows two only, Charnock and Dr. Thomas Smith, submitted to receive the Bishop of
Oxford as their President, and twenty-five were deprived of their FeUowships, and
declared incapable of being admitted to any ecclesiastical dignity or benefice. At the
Revolution, which quickly ensued, these illegal and arbitrary proceedings were an-
nuUed, and the Fellows restored ; as was also the President Dr. Hough, who lived to
be a very aged man, and died Bishop of Worcester. On his monument in the cathe
dral is a bas-reUef, in which he is represented in the act of protesting against the sen
tence ofthe Commissioners, and the words of his protest are engraved below.
