107. 1717. Sept. 28, Cambr. Expects his books of Abp. Whitg. subscribed for. Another set subscribed. The King expected there :' wishes the Library were more forward to receive him: 'not one book yet put up, nor one class towards receiving them and when all is finisht, will be a very unequal Repository, to so noble a gift.' Suggests to Strype to make interest at Court for a D.D. degree, as 'if his Maj" comes, we shall have a Flight of Doctors, that have not deserved so well.'

111. 1717. Nov. 14, Cambridge. 'Dean Nowel's Letter concerning Dr Whitaker. Directions about sending and paying for y copies of Abp. Whitg. Life.' Is glad to hear his Book is printed off.

112. 1717. Dec. 3, Cambridge. His approbation of Abp. Whitg. Life. 2 Setts pd for to Mr Wyatt.' Could have wisht he had 'quoted the Harleyan Library for the Puckering MSS.,' but 'in such a multitude of Vouchers and Authorities, it is no wonder if one should be forgot.'

113. 173. Jan. 2, Cambridge. His approbation of Abp. Whitg." Life. Enquiry after a long Scrole mentioned there p. 78, viz. a Description of ye Foundation and privileges of yo University.' Pronounces the Life of Whitgift a great and usefull work.' Is ashamed to own he has never seen the Scroll mentioned by Strype, 'nor do I believe there is a Copy in this University; so careless have we been in things that concern us.' Asks to borrow Strype's copy.

Lord Harley 'has made vast collections of Books, both printed and MSS., and is dayly adding to his stock: His Collection added to his Father's, will, I believe, in time be beyond anything of yt kinde in England.' Cannot think it strange that Strype's book should meet with so quick a sale.

Transcript: Letters Patent of 1 James I. for granting Burgesses to the University of Cambridge.

Printed in G. Dyer's Privileges of the University of Cambridge. Vol. 1. p. 135.

116. 171. Feb. 25, Cambridge. The Scrole and other Papers received. Mistakes in yt Scrowle, supposed to [be] D' Pernes. D' Knight.' Allowances are to be made for first Essays, we will usually be imperfect, and therefore he concludes D' Perne to be the author, notwithstanding 'one or two mistakes that a man so knowing as he would hardly be guilty off :' though 'D' Caius, who writes our History, has been guilty of the like.'

117. 171 March 8, Cambr. 'Abp. Whitg. Life. His Judgmt of it. The new Library for Bp. Elie's Books. Mr Wanley. L. Harlie's Library. Dr Kennet concerning my Book.' Has returned Strype's Papers and Scroll, which last will not bear another impression, having been superseded by later Tables of the same kind. The University 'at such expense in fitting up Libraries (one part whereof is almost finisht, tho' it will not hold much above half the Books) that they have nothing left to purchase Books.'

118. 17. March. K. James's Grant for sending Burgesses from Cambridge. Benet College; Controversy between the Mast' and Fellows.' Baker has been consulted, but declines meddling in such matters.

'I live very retired, and hardly see any one beyond my Chamber, unless it be at Chappell in Morning, where I make my Bowes (like a Carthusian) and see the Company no more till night.' 'They talk very warmly of building at King's College, as we do of a Chappell at S. John's, and at Emanuel of a new Court there.'

120. 1720. May 22, Cambridge. Upon Subscription for ye Eccla Memorials. His Retyrement. Mr Elstob's Book.' 'For myself I am out of the world, and live in the utmost retirement, and see nobody beyond my own Chamber, nor willingly there, unless upon Business, and am the most unfit man living to sollicite Subscriptions:' nor will do so, since he has been deeply bit by M" Elstob."

Note on the Index to the Strype Correspondence.

As these Letters had been bound in Volumes by Strype himself, without any regard to order, and had been used and transcribed in that state by Cole the antiquary (many years resident at Milton) and others, it did not appear advisable to disturb the arrangement. It is hoped that the following Alphabetical and Chronological Index may obviate any inconvenience that might result from the wild confusion of Strype's arrangement. The Index includes references to the Letters, in the Volume of Strype Correspondence, purchased at Mr Dawson Turner's sale, in Class Mm. vi. 49, which is represented in the Index by an asterisk.

* I must express my obligations to C. H. Cooper, Esq. for the corrections and additional references marked with an asterisk.
