ANDREW S. 2 j 7 " lord, what fay vou ?" " Sir," n pi ed the Infliop, " I
- ' have no fkil! to judge of parliamentary cafes." The king
anfwered, " No put-offs, my lor.) ; anfwer me preftntly." " Then, lir," faid he, " 1 think it lawful for you to take
- my brother Neale's monev, for he offers it." 'Mr. Waller
fays the company was pleafed with this anfwer, luit the wit of it fecmcd to rt fiec~t the kin;.' ; for a certain lord comin^ foon after, h s majelly cried out, ll C), my lo'd, they fay " you lig with my lady." " No, fir," fis Im lordfhip, in confufion, " but l like her company, becaufe (he has fo much

" with my lord of WincheHer there?" This gre:it prelate was in no lei's reputation and dlecm with king Charles I. ihan he had been with his preJeccilors. He died at Win- chefter-houfe in Southwark, Sepiember 27, 1626, and was buried in the parifti-church of St. Saviour's ; where a very fair monument of marble and alabjiler, with a Latin infcrip- tion upon :t, was erected to him. Milton has written alfo a beautiful elegv on his death, in the fame language. In the dedication cf his fermons, publiflied under the infpedlion of J>. Laud, ve have the following character of this prelate :
- ' The perlori whole works thefe are, was from his yruth a
- ' man of extraordinary worth and note; a man as if he had
- bven made up of learning and virtue, both of them fo
" eminent in him, that it is hard to judge which had pre- 4< cedency. His virtue (which we mu ft ft ill judge the more
- ' worthy in any man) v/as comparable to that which was to
ts be found in the primitive bifhops of the church ; and haJ li he lived amongft thofe ancient fathers, his virtues would tc have (hined even amongft thole virtuous men. And f"r " his learning, it was as well if not better known iiSroad, "* than refptcted at home: and take him in his latitude, we,
- ' which knevy him well, knew not any fort of learning to
"> which he was a (hanger; but in his profcff;on. admirable. 4 * None ftronger than he, where he wrciiied with an adver-
- fary ; and that Dellarmine felt, who was as well able to
- fhift for himfelf, as any that flood up for the Rnmnn party.
44 None more exat, more judicious, than he, where he was
- ' to inftrudl and inform others 3 and that as they knew
" who o^tt- n htard him preach, lo they m<iy learn which
- ' will read this which he hath left behind him. And yet
" this fullnefi of his material learning left room enough in '* the temper of his brain for aim jft all lanauages, learned " and modern, to feat themfelves : fo that his learning had.
- all the helps language could aiTord, and his Ian; . ;
