THE Saturday following being the 22d. of September 1571. he piously and devoutly rendered up his Soul into the Hands of God, having first made a very devout and Christian Exhortation to those that were about him, and expressing much dislike of one of his Servants who prayed for his Recovery. He died at Monketon farly, when he had been a Bishop almost twelve years; and was buried almost in the middle of the Quire of his Cathedral Church, and Aegidius Lawrence preached his Funeral Sermon. He was extremely bewailed by all men; and a great number of Latin, Greek and Hebrew Verses were made on this occasion by learned men, which are collected and printed by Mr. Lawrence Humphrey Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxon, in the end of his Life written in Latin by the order of that University; nor has his name been since mentioned by any Man, without such Elogies and Commendations as befitted so great, so good, so learned and laborious a Prelate.

HAVING thus brought him to his Grave, my Reader may be pleased to permit me to ⟨p. 38⟩collect some particular things which could not so well be inserted into the History of his Life, without breaking the thread of it.
