[Footnote 14:  Dr. Matthew Wren, successively Bishop of Hereford, Norwich, and Ely, died April 14, 1667, aged eighty-one years and upwards.  He was distinguished for his extraordinary attachment to the royal cause, having suffered an imprisonment for eighteen years with singular patience and magnanimity.

It should not be forgotten, that when Cromwell had repeatedly offered to release the Bishop, he refused to accept of the proffered boon, saying, “that he scorned to receive his liberty from a tyrant and usurper.”  His life was kindly prolonged by Providence, that as he had seen the destruction, so he might also see the happy restoration of his order.]

[Footnote 15:  Born at Geneva on August 14, 1599, and educated at Christ Church, Oxford.  Archbishop Laud gave him the living of Minster, Kent, and a Prebend in the Cathedral of Canterbury.  He suffered much in the civil wars, but at the Restoration he recovered his preferments.  Among his works are “A Treatise of Use and Custom,” 1638, “De Quatuor Linguis Commentatio,” 1650, “Of Credulity and Incredulity,” 1668.  He died on July 14, 1671.]

[Footnote 16:  Dr. John Williams was then Dean of Westminster.  He held this Deanery in Commendam during the whole time of his being Bishop of Lincoln, and likewise three years after his translation to York.]

[Footnote 17:  Was born at Anstley, in Wiltshire, in 1590; he received his education in William of Wykeham’s school, near Winchester; was matriculated in the University of Oxford in 1608, and admitted Fellow of New College in 1609.  He took the degree of LL.B.  June 30, 1614, and that of LL.D.  April 8, 1619.  He no sooner had obtained his first degree than he became an Advocate in Doctors’ Commons.  Through the influence of his noble kinsman, who was then Lord of the Cinque Ports, he was elected, in 1620, a Burgess to serve in Parliament for Hythe in Kent.  In the same year he succeeded Dr. John Budden as Professor of Civil law; and in 1625, he was appointed Principal of Alban’s Hall.  Though a layman, he held the Prebend of Shipston, in the Church of Salisbury, which was then first annexed to the Law Professorship by James I.

After the Restoration, Dr. Zouch, whose loyalty always remained unimpeached, had the honour of being named by the King, along with several other Commissioners, to restore the splendours and regulate the disorders of the University.  He was re-instated in the Court of Admiralty; and if he had lived he would doubtless have attained those higher dignities in his profession, to which his integrity and great abilities entitled him.  He died at his apartments in Doctors’ Commons, London, March 1, 1660.]
