His History of the Moderne Protestant Divines, namely, John Hus, Melancthon, Luther, Calvin, Beza, &c. and of Wickliffe, Bale, Tindal, Latimer, &c. is ornamented with "Effigies taken "to the life," some by Albert Durer, and others by Henry Hondius:

A copy of this work, which formerly belonged to Oldys, was presented to the British Museum, by Sir William Musgrave.

Lupton was also author of "Emblems of Ra"rities, or choise Observations out of Worthy London, printed by N. Okes.

"Histories. "1636."

Neither of the above works occur in the catalogues of the Bodleian, or of Sion College.

I find another work by Lupton in the Museum, entitled, "London and the Countrey carbo"nadoed and quartered into several Characters. "London, Nichols, 1632."

From the last the following is extracted:

"CHARTER HOUSE.

This place is well described by three thinges, magnificence, munificence, and religious government. Magnificence is the terminus a quo, good order, the terminus mediani, munificence and charity, the terminus ad quem. The first shewes the wealth of the founder and establisher; the second shewes the meanes to make the good thing done, durable; the third demonstrates his intent

that thus establisht it. Had it beene great, without good government, it had long, ere this time, come to ruine; or had it bin great, and yet devoyd of charity, it would have bin laught at and derided; but now charity shewes it is well governed, and that good governement keepes it firme and makes it famous. Soldiers and schollers I thinke beginne their love here; that they continue hereafter firme and solide, by living together, callings both honorable, and here bountifully maintayned. It is a reliefe for decaied gentlemen, old souldiers, and auncient serving men: tis to bee pitied that such religious, charitable houses increase not in number: this one place hath sent many a famous member to the Universities, and not a few to the warres: I will not censure, as some do, that many places are heere sold for monies, nay, the reversions also: Ile rather exhort the governors to discharge a good conscience, and not suffer their men, or any other, when they affect, to get thirty or forty pounds for the promise of the next vacant place for a youth to come in, and to observe their first institutions; and those that so suppose, I wish them that they speake not that with their mouthes which they know not in their heartes.

The deede of this man that so ordered this house, is much spoken of and commended: but theres none (except only one) that as yet hath

eyther striven to equall or imitate that, and I fear never will theres many that will not doe any such good workes, and give out that they smell something of Popery, and therefore not to be imitated. Well, I durst warrant thus much, let the overseers live religiously, governe civilly, avoid bribery, keep their cannons directly, and this house shall stand to upbraid this iron age, and see many brought to beggery for prodigality, when they shall be satified and have enough. Well, this is my opinion of it, that the founder is happy, and so are all the children that live here, if they degenerate not, and turne from fearing God, obeying their Prince, and from living in love amongst themselves."

These characters have been printed in the ninth volume of the Harleian Miscellany by Mr. Park.

GRANGER.

THE following anecdotes, illustrative of Granger, are extracted from Sir William Musgrave's copy of that entertaining work.

It must be remembered, that Sir William suggested the undertaking, principally supplied its materials, and was at the expence of engraving the head of Granger, which is prefixed.

PHYSICIANS.

ANDREW BORDE.

THERE is another wooden cut of the same person at the back of the title page to his Breviary of Health, ann. 1557, where his name is spelt Boorde. This portrait is sitting in an old fashioned gothic elbow chair, leaning on his right arm, with a reading desk and several books before him.

Borde was born at Pevensey, in Sussex, and brought up at Oxford; but before he took a degree there, he entered himself a brother of the Carthusian Order; of which growing tired, and having a rambling head and an unconstant mind, he travelled through and round about Christendom, and out of Christendom. On his return he settled at Winchester, where he practised with success. In 1541 or 42, he was at Montpelier, and probably took his Doctor's degree there, for he was soon after incorporated in the same degree at Oxford. At length, after many rambles to and fro in this world, he was made a close prisoner in the wards of the Fleet, in London., Though the

the reason of his confinement is not discovered here, he died in April, 1549, his will being dated the 11th, and proved the 25th, of that month.

Wood Ath. Oxon. Vol. 1. p. 74, says, that our author Borde was esteemed a noted poet, a witty and ingenious person, and an excellent physician of his time.

WILLIAM BUTTS.

Butts took his Doctor's Degree at Cambridge, and in 1519, petitioned to be incorporated ad eundem at Oxford. He was knighted by Henry VIII. and died 17 November, 1545, and was buried at Fulham Church. He is highly characterized for his eminent knowledge, singular judgment and great experience, not only by the records of the College of Physicians; but he is also much extolled for his learning, by divers of his cotemporaries; and Bishop John Parkhurst has several Epigrams on him.

EDWARD SIXTII.

Henry VIII. laid strong injunctions on his executors to effect a marriage between Edward VIth. and Queen Mary of Scotland. The Scots, however, under the influence of French councils, having rejected all overtures for that purpose,
