Broughton and distinctly stated to be in 'Mr Tho. Baker's hand'. From this time numerous documents are taken out by Broughton. Baker first signs his name as witness 30 Aug. 1692, and first takes out documents in his own name 22 Jan. 1699; and so continues till 1714. After his ejection he took out books in 1716 and 1727 in his own name, but generally (apparently) in the name of W. Baker. 10 P. 9 l. 3.

St. John's hospital. 40 45 'About the year 1256, John Shotley, prior of Bernwell, with his convent, demise the messuage now called Pythagoras his schole, to Eustace Fitz-Henry of Cambridge, which formerly had been in the occupation of Henry, the son of Edward Frost, the person, I presume, mentioned [p. 15 1. 6] as being the original founder of this hospital, about 1210. So that St. John's college, now grafted on that hospital, and still enjoying its possessions, may justly be accounted the first of our present colleges. By a document I have seen from the original in Merton college archives, it appears that this old building now called Pythagoras his schole, and then Domus lapidea, was about the year above mentioned, 1256, in the occupation of St. John's Hospital: for about that time, the master and brethren grant to Hervey Fitz-Eustace, and his heirs for ever, 2 beds, with their necessary coverlids for the use of infirm persons, in their stone house, obliging themselves to find a chaplain to celebrate mass particularly for the soul of Eustace FitzHervey, in acknowledgement for the lands granted by him to the hospital; lying in Cambridge, Chesterton and Madingley. No doubt he had been a considerable benefactor to this religious house, tho' omitted by Mr. Baker, who probably might not record all the benefactions to it, for fear of swelling his history to too great a bulk: for even so late as the year 1284, while Ric. Cheverel was master, they oblige themselves to find and maintain a chaplain, one of their brethren, for the above purpose, within their own house. This was after that old building was in the possession of Merton college: yet as he had been a benefactor to them in other lands, they were obliged to celebrate for him as such. v. my vol. 31. p. 75, and vol. 25, p. 46* &c.
