CHAP. I.

An Account of him from his Childhood to the seventeenth year of his Age.

MR. John Janeway was born Anno 1633. Octob. 27. of Religious Parents, in Lilly, in the County of Hertford. He soon gave his Parents the hope of much comfort, and the symptoms of something more than ordinary quickly appeared in him, so that some which saw this Child much feared that, his life would be but short, others hoped that God had some rare piece of work to do by or for this Child before he died; he showed that neither ⟨p. 2⟩of them were much mistaken in their conjecture concerning him. He soon out-ran his superiors for age in learning. And it was thought by no incompetent Judges that for pregnancy of wit, solidity of judgment, the vastness of his intellectuals, and the greatness of his memory, that he had no superiors, few equals considering his age and education.
