He was a benefactor to the Library in 1652, and appears to have been afterwards in orders, for he took the degree of D. D., July 7, 1664, at which time he must have conformed.

1654. Cæsar Williamson. Public Orator of the University.

Adam Cusack.

Edw. Veele. B. A. of Christ's Church, Oxford'.

Commons' Journal, vol. i. p. 415. The reason of this is said to have been, that certain members of the College refused to give evidence or information of alleged malpractices in the College during Lord Strafford's administration, conceiving themselves prohibited by cap. xi. of the Statutes-Carte's Ormond, vol. i. p. 147-8.

b Kerdiffe was driven from his living by the rebels in 1641, and being in great distress and poverty, he, together with James Bishop and William Raymund, supplicated the Marquis of Ormonde, then Chancellor of the University, to be made Senior Fellow, as there was not a sufficient number of Senior Fellows in the College to coopt them statutably. Their request, it appears, was granted. (See Reg. p. 29.)

His Common-place Book is preserved in the College Library, MSS. G. 2. 12. See Ware, Writers, p. 203.

The dates of the pretended elections of these persons are not very well ascertained. * See Ware, Writers, p. 343.

f Jan. 23, 1660, Mr. Edward Veale, A. M., brought King's Letters to be admitted Senior Fellow. "The letters were received with all humility, and the Provost returned this answer: That some time must be allowed to deliberate upon the contents of the Letter, inasmuch as the Seniority was full." Veale was, probably, a Junior Fellow at that time, for we find him elected Junior Proctor at the Commencement held Jan. 26, 1660-1, and on the election of Junior Fellows, Jan. 29, only eight instead of nine were elected. So that it is probable that, after the Restoration, when Seele was appointed Provost, the Senior Fellows allowed were Hoyle and Williamson (vide 1660), and the only remaining allowed Junior Fellow was Veale. See Calamy, Ejected Ministers, vol. ii. p. 57; Wood, Fasti Oxon. Part II. p. 177. Edit. Bliss. He wrote the Notes on Ephes, and Jude,

1660. The following were appointed by King's Letter, dated Whitehall, Dec. 29, 1660, of whom the first seven were made Senior Fellows.

Nath. Hoyle. Vice-Provost.

Cæsar Williamson'. D. D., Jan. 26, 1660.

John Stearne. Medicus, M. D., Professor of Laws, first President and Founder of the College of Physiciansh.

Joshua Cowley. Jurist, Vice-Provost, 1661; resigned June, 1662. Richard Lyngard. Vice-Provost, 1662; Professor of Divinity; resigned his Senior Fellowship, April 6, 1666; Dean of Lismore, 1666. Died 1670'.

William Vincent*. Resigned Nov. 20, 1665.

Patrick Sheridan. Vice-Provost; appointed to Clonfeacle May 31,

in Poole's Annotations-(Calamy, Ejected Ministers, vol. ii. pp. 14, 15); and edited Stephen Charnock's book on Divine Providence; Wood, Ath. Oxon. vol. iv. p. 604, Ed. Bliss. * See an account of him in Calamy, Ejected Ministers, vol. ii. p. 810.

See Ware, Writers, p. 345; Calamy (Ejected Ministers, vol. ii. p. 415) asserts Mather to have been a Fellow under the Usurpation, but his name does not appear signed to any College document during that period. He was suspended, and silenced for some sermon in 1666, and died in 1671.

An account of him is given by Calamy, Ejected Ministers, vol. ii. p. 134.

Probably the person mentioned by Calamy, vol. ii. p. 57, as having sometimes gone by the name of Chambers.

These two were the only existing Senior Fellows.

In August, 1661, the Duke of Ormond, then Chancellor of the University, sent a letter to the Provost, directing that no person be admitted to a Fellowship that is not conformable, and adding particularly (perhaps with reference to the case of Edward Veale, vide ante, note, p. 172)," and in case you shall receive any Mandates, in the behalfe of any person that is not so qualified, I know it to bee his Majesty's intention that they should not be obeyed, and therefore I desire you to suspend the execution thereof untill you shall upon notice given heere farther from mee in that behalfe" It is probable, therefore, that, upon the receipt of this letter, Williams and Hoyle, both of whom were certainly Nonconformists, resigned; and accordingly their names are not afterwards found on the College books; and Phillips (Aug. 27) and Wilkins (Sept. 10) were coopted Senior Fellows immediately after.

These five only were mentioned as Senior Fellows in the King's Letter. In it the Provost and Senior Fellows were empowered, after the admission of the five new Seniors, to proceed to an election of Junior Fellows, requiring them only to clect Dr. Lambert Gougleman as one of them. The King's Letter also dispensed, pro hac vice, with the Statutes, and empowered them to hold the election on any day. It was deferred "by reason of a Commencement and other weighty affayres of the Colledge," until Jan. 29, 1660-1, on which day Gougleman, Phipps, &c., were elected Junior Fellows.

He was a nephew of Archbishop Ussher. See his works enumerated in Ware, Writers, p. 159. i Ware, Writers, p. 348.

Henry Styles was B. A. of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, as appears by a certificate in his favour from the Primate, dated 24th Jan. 1660-1 (Reg. p. 59), certifying that he was then of Master's standing at Oxford, studious, loyal, &c. He was incorporated B. A. at the Commencement, 26th Jan, 1660-1.
