[55] The box is, I believe, in Peterhouse Library to this day, but a portion of the Commentary was published as a treatise against the Socinians by the Bishop's son Matthew, under the title of _Increpatio Bar Jesu, sive polemicae adsectiones locorum aliquot S. Scripturae ab imposturis perversis in Catechesis Racoviana collectae._ [56] Petty's history is a curious one. The son of a clothier of Rumsey; he educated himself; was some years in the navy; became Gresham professor of music; then a physician of some fame; was also Henry Cromwell's secretary; was a commissioner for Ireland, and married Sir Hardress Waller's daughter. Soon after the Restoration he was knighted by Charles II. Petty invented a 'double-bottomed ship to sail against wind and tide; it was flat-bottomed, had two distinct keels cramped together with huge timbers, so as a violent stream run between: it bore a monstrous broad sail.' It excited much interest at the time, made one very successful voyage, and was afterwards wrecked in a frightful storm. Its model is still preserved at the Royal Society, of which he became a member. He died in 1687. _Lives of the Gresham Professors_, p. 217. Ward. See also Evelyn's _Diary_ of March 22, 1675, for an interesting account of Petty's career. [57] Seth Ward, born 1617. Was Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford and an active member of the Royal Society. Afterwards Bishop of Exeter and then of Salisbury; died 1689. [58] _Life of Sir C. Wren_, by J. Elmes, p. 12. The full title of the play was '[Greek: Ploutophthalmia Ploutogamia],' a pleasant comedy intituled _Hey for Honesty_, &c., augmented and published by F. J. A copy, published in 1651, and containing a MS. note saying that Wren took the part of 'Neanias Adolescens,' was in the possession of Isaac Reed, a commentator on Shakespeare and a great book collector, who died in 1807. His epitaph (given in _Notes and Queries_, series v., xiii. p. 304) was as follows:-- 'Reader of these few lines take heed, And mend your ways for my sake; For you must die like Isaac Reed, Tho' you read till your eyes ache.' T. Randolph was a friend and pupil of Ben Jonson's; he published _The Muses' Looking Glass_, which satirised the Puritans; died 1634. [59] Miscellanies, ed. 1696. [60] _Diary_, July 13, 1654.
