THE Life I have collected from Mr. Humphrey's, who wrote Bishop Jewel's Life at large in Quarto. 2. The English Life put before his Works which was penned about the Year 1609. 3. Mr. Fuller's Church History. 4. Dr. Heylyn's Ecclesia Anglicana restaurata, and others who wrote any thing that related to those times, and fell into my hands in that short time I had to finish it in. Mr. Humphrey's alone would have been sufficient, if he had observed an exact Method in Writing this Life; or been altogether free from Affections. But tho he tell us Bishop Jewel kept a Diary of his Life, and that he had assistance from Dr. Parkhurst Bishop of Norwich, Aegidius Lawrence, Mr. John Jewel the Bishops Brother, and one Mr. John Garbrande and others; and Printed his Piece in the Year 1573. Which was not much above two years after the Death of Bishop Jewel, yet he has not observed any exact order or method in the ⟨image 3⟩History of his Life: and he no where tells us in what Year he was made a Fellow, or received Orders; nor from whom, only he tells us Mr. Harding took his Orders at the same time. Nor has he acquainted us when Mr. Harding published his first or second Antapologies, nor when the Bishop went to Padua, nor how long he staid there, nor who were his Partners in his Visitation for the Queen. Nor has he marked almost any of the principal Actions of his Life when they were done; and tho he mentions a Sermon at Paul's Cross, and a Conference with the Dissenters not long before his death, yet he neither tells us the time or occasion of either of them, but instead of these, runs out into Discourses against Harding and others of that Persuasion, which were nothing, or very little to his purpose.
