l. 17. It is notable that Clarendon nowhere suggests that Falkland was also a poet. Cowley gives his verses the highest praise in his address to him on the Northern Expedition (see p. 83, l. 2, note); and they won him a place in Suckling's _Sessions of the Poets_: He was of late so gone with Divinity That he had almost forgot his Poetry, Though to say the truth (and _Apollo_ did know it) He might have been both his Priest and his Poet. His poems were collected and edited by A.B. Grosart in 1871. 23. Clarendon, MS. Life, p. 55; _Life_, ed. 1759, p. 24. This very pleasing portrait of Godolphin serves as a pendant to the longer and more elaborate description of his friend. Clarendon wrote also a shorter character of him in the _History_ (vol. ii, pp. 457-8). Page 96, l. 2. _so very small a body_. He is the 'little Cid' (i.e. Sidney) of Suckling's _Sessions of the Poets_. PAGE 97, l. 1. He was member for Helston from 1628 to 1643. l. 6. In the character in the _History_ Clarendon says that he left 'the ignominy of his death upon a place which could never otherwise have had a mention to the world'. The place was Chagford. 24. Clarendon, MS. Life, pp. 69-70; _History_, Bk. I, ed. 1702, vol. i, pp. 69-73; ed. Macray, vol. i, pp. 119-25. The three characters of Laud here given supplement each other. They convey the same idea of the man. Page 97, l. 20. George Abbott (1562-1633), Archbishop of Canterbury, 1611. In the preceding paragraph Clarendon had written an unfavourable character of him. He 'considered Christian religion no otherwise than as it abhorred and reviled Popery, and valued those men most who did that most furiously': 'if men prudently forbore a public reviling and railing at the hierarchy and ecclesiastical government, let their opinions and private practice be what it would, they were not only secure from any inquisition of his, but acceptable to him, and at least equally preferred by him': his house was 'a sanctuary to the most eminent of that factious party'. Cf. p. 100, ll. 21-7. Page 101, l. 2. In the omitted portion Clarendon dealt with the 'Arminianism', as it was then understood in England: 'most of the popular preachers, who had not looked into the ancient learning, took Calvin's word for it, and did all they could to propagate his opinions in those points: they who had studied more, and were better versed in the antiquities of the Church, the Fathers, the Councils, and the ecclesiastical histories, with the same heat and passion in preaching and writing, defended the contrary. But because in the late dispute in the Dutch churches, those opinions were supported by Jacobus Arminius, the divinity professor in the university of Leyden in Holland, the latter men we mentioned were called Arminians, though many of them had never read a word written by Arminius'. Arminius (the name is the Latinized form of Harmens or Hermans) died in 1609. 25. The Church-History of Britain, 1648, Bk. XI, pp. 217-9.
