being a young man, a catholic, and an exile;" whom (as he flattereth him) England loved, Rome adorned, banishment hath, as it were ratified (fanxit) the patron and father of Englishmen, catholics, and exiles." "That this man's request was that he might be chosen into the said college, having consecrated himself to God, to England, and Rome; and that he was a fit young man of no ill note, and prepared inire palestram: Juvenis feroculus; ready to enter upon action, a fierce youth: very good qualifications for a Romish emissary." Dod tells us that he was born in Exeter, educated in the English college in Rome from the year 1588; and, being ordained priest, was sent upon the mission; and, having laboured some years, became a Jesuit, as it appears, making his profession in England An. 1598. He was a great sufferer upon account of religion, being several years a prisoner, and at last banished An. 1603. He lived afterwards in Rome, and was near twenty years confessor in the English college. Though now advanced in years, he was desirous of seeing England once more; and, being permitted, remained there a little while, and then died at St. Omer's, in the year 1636. The works he left to posterity are, 1. A Preface to Robert Parson's Posthumous Work against William Barlow, bishop of Lincoln. St. Omer's, 1615. 2. A Treatise in Defence of the Celibacy of Priests against Joseph Hall, dean of Worcester. Ib. 8vo. 1619.
3. De Morte Roberti Bellarmini. Ibid. 8vo. 1623.
4. The Art of Dying Well, a translation from the Latin of Rob. Bellarmin. Ibid. 8vo. 1622.
