Ralph Brownrigg, of Exeter--of whom, when made a Bishop, Fuller observes he was "_defied_ by some who almost _deified_ him before, in whose eyes he seemed the blacker for wearing white sleeves"--after losing his bishopric found shelter at Sonning, a pleasant little village on the banks of the Thames, not far from the town of Reading. There, in the hospitable mansion of Thomas Rich, he enjoyed respectful entertainment during the Protectorate; and about a year before his death received the appointment of preacher at the Temple. "The deserved opinion of his goodness," we are informed by Fuller, "had peaceable possession in the hearts of the Presbyterian party; and I observed at his funeral that the prime persons of all persuasions were present, whose judgments going several ways met all in a general grief for his decease. He was buried on the cost of both Temples, to his great but their greater honour."[321] Thomas Winniffe,[322] who was a Bishop with Puritan predilections, and who was raised to the see of Lincoln at the beginning of the Church troubles--by way of conciliation, when it was too late--found little besides sorrow in the possession of his mitre. Driven from his house at Westminster he went to live at Lambourne, in Essex, "having formerly been the painful minister thereof;" and there he died in the year 1654, leaving a goodly reputation for piety and learning. John Owen and Roger Manwaring, two Welsh bishops, the first of St. Asaph, the second of St. David's--like the rest of those just enumerated--died before the Restoration, Owen, in the year 1651, Manwaring, at Carmarthen, in 1653.[323]
