• Notes

  "A noted Royalist. [...] He was admitted scholar of New College, December 10th, 1624; Fellow, January 15th, 1626; LL.D., 1638; Advocate of Arches Court; Principal of Magdalen Hall, 1643; resigned his Fellowship, September 21st, 1645, and Edward Farmer, of the parish of St. Helen's, Abingdon, was admitted in his place. He had a king's letter in his favour, dated March 31st, 1624; and in 1642 trailed a pike for King Charles in the university, and served his Majesty in the army, but on the decline of the king's cause changed his religion and became a secular priest; esteemed a good scholar and civilian." [John Meredith Read, citation details below] According to John Bennett Bodie (citation details below), the Linkenholt parish register says he was baptized 18 Oct 1604, earlier than the 1606 birth year given by other sources.
