P. 12, l. 12, add, ɑ.

P. 15, 1. 12, for there is little or nothing, has nothing remarkable.

P. 17, after 1. 18, add:

John Holbroke, D.D. one of the chaplains of Henry VI, is said to have distinguished himself as a mathematician, and to have died about 1436.

William Buckmaster, D.D. Vice-Chancellor in 1530 and 1539. Vid. Archbishop Parker's Catal. Cancel., &c. p. 51, 52. He was Prebendary of Hereford and St. Paul's, and wrote something concerning the University.

P. 17, notes, l. 9, dele Geo.

P. 18, 1. 18, It was Tyndal's New Testament, that was published by Joye, and at Antwerp, in 1534, with corrections by Joye. Besides what is mentioned in notes, Joye

translated Esay into English, published at Strasburgh. The Psalms and Primer were professedly translated from the Latin of Frier Felix, of 1515. It is not meant (in the notes), to say that Joye's translations, which bear his name, were done by Tindal, but only his Edition of the New Testament, printed at Antwerp. Some parts of the Old Testament never were translated by Tindal. After re-exa mining, and comparing, the two editions of Lewis's History of Translations, &c. amidst some differences, I do not find they differ in what regards Tyndal and Joye. But, in my text, p. 18, v. 2, for, he is also said to have translated a part of Tindal's Bible, read, he also edited, with corrections, Tyndal's New Testament, at Antwerp: it is most probable (I should think), that the Pistlis, at least, mentioned as being at the end (for I have not seen the book itself) were translated by Joye.

P. 19, John Whitgift was D.D. 1567, and John Penry, A.B. 1583. He never proceeded, as I can see, A.M.

He says he was incorporated also of Oxford: which he observes, however, after those, who knew him to be living at Oxford in 1641. But it seems his name does not appear in the Public Register of Oxford.

HISTORY OF CAMBRIDGE.

P. 29. Dr. Beaumont was admitted April 15, 1631, and proceeded D.D. from Peter-House, 1660.

Of his poem called Psyche, a second edition was published in 1702, in a folio of 370 pages, two columns in each page, rather closely printed, so that according to the modern style of printing, it might make a folio of about 800 pages. It was composed during his ejectment "for the avoiding of mere idleness, when the turbulence of the times deprived him of wonted accommodations of study."

Dr. B. was, I doubt not, a pious man, but his dedication is a singularity: "To the most sacred Treasury of the PRAISE and GLORY of INCARNATE GOD, the world's most merciful Redeemer, the unworthiest of his Majestie's creatures, in all possible veneration, begs leave to cast this his dedicated mite." This poem has been sometimes incorrectly given to Beaumont, the dramatist. Charles, the son of Dr. Beaumont, A.M. and Fellow, was editor of this poem, after his father's death: and having built the Lodge, (in 1701,) and given it to the College, he is entitled to a place in our catalogue. There is a portrait of Charles Beaumont in the Lodge.

John Bargrave was admitted of Peter-House, March 10, 1636, and D.D. at Oxford, in 1661. With respect to Puritans mentioned pp. 24, 25, the names of Dr. Seaman and Mr. Cawdry, I do not find in the Admission Book; but Francis Talents, (a Derbyshire man) was admitted May 14, 1686, and Colonel Hutchinson, Feb. 29, 1631-2.

May 3, 1615, appointed by the King, Master of Trinity College.

Samuel Thomas, (of Somersetshire,) was admitted of this House, June 18, 1645, and afterwards Fellow of St. John's, Oxford. In Cromwell's time, he was with the Presbyterians, but becoming afterwards zealous for the Church, wrote The Presbyterian unmasked. He was deprived, at the revolution,

for not taking the State Oaths, and died in 1693.
