I quote from the edition of 1624. [25] The following short character of Glanvill, by Bishop Kennet, may be quoted, not because it is just, but because it might conceivably be brought forward by somebody in rebuttal of this proposition:--“Mr. _Joseph Glanvill_ of _Lincoln_ College, _Oxon_. Taking the Degree of M. A. in the beginning of 1658, was about that Time made Chaplain to old _Francis Rous_; one of _Oliver_’s Lords, and Provost of _Eaton_ College.--He became a great Admirer of Mr. _Richard Baxter_, and a zealous Person for a Commonwealth. After his Majesty’s Restauration he turn’d about, became a Latitudinarian,--Rector of _Bath_, Prebendary of _Worcester_, and Chaplain to the King” (White Kennet, An Historical Register, 1744, p. 931).
