22 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vm. JAN. s. 1921. the following December. In. 1592 he was again in Paris, but afterwards was papal envoy in Scotland in 1598, and then went to Antwerp, from which place he came to the English College at Douay July 3, 1599. Returning to Antwerp, he revisited Douay June 17, 1603, and left to take up work on the English Mission for the first time, June 20, 1603. From England he returned to Ant- werp, where he died before September 1625, leaving various house property in Antwerp to Douay College, on condition that the College should educate one of his kin, on the rents thereof, such kinsman to be nominated by his brother William, of Somerton in Oxfordshire, or his nephew Thomas, one of the sons of the said William, by Elizabeth, dau. of co -heir of William More of Hadham, co. Oxon. The rents being insufficient, Robert Tempest's nephew and . executor, Henry Clifford, covenanted to supplement them out of his own pocket. Henry Clifford had married Robert's niece Catherine, daughter of his brother Thomas.* (c) The third Robert Tempest, grandson of the first, and nephew of the second, was the second son of Michael Tempest, by Dorothy, daughter of Sir Edward Dymokeof Scrivelsby. He was in Rome in 1580, and arrived- at the English College, Rheims, "a schola Augensi " Aug. 16, 1584. He was again at Rome in 1585 when he entered the English College, but returned to Rheims Oct. 23, 1589, and left for Paris on a visit to his uncle Robert Jan. 15, 1590. While there he experienced a famine, in which he and his uncle were only too thankful to feed on the flesh of asses, mules, and horses. He returned to Rheims Aug. 21 and began to lecture on logic Aug. 30, 1590. He received minor orders Apr. 12, the subdiaconate Apr. 13, and the diaconate June 8 or 9, 1591, all at Soissons, and was ordained priest in the chapel of St. Cross in Rheims Cathedral the following Sept. 21. It is not known when he took the degree of S.T.D. which he did before 1599, but it would seem to have been either at Rome or Paris. In July 1599 he was lecturer on moral theology in the English College at Douay. In 1600 he went to Antwerp to say goodbye to his uncle, returning to Douay on June 12, and on July 15 of the same year he set out for

England.* He was captured in 1612 and imprisoned, but after two years he was released on bail and according to Cardinal Gasquet ('Hist, of Eng. Coll. Rome,' p. 155) "allowed to live with his brother-in-law in Hampshire on parole. In 1624 he became a Jesuit, and died in Hampshire July 13' 1640." Who this brother-in-law was I- have been unable to find out. Foley (Records Eng. Prov. S.J., vii. 766) says that he was born in 1563 and professed of the four vows March, 1636. Robert's elder brother William passed through Rheims on his way to Verdun, where he was to be educated by the Jesuits, and stayed at the English College from May 2 to 12, 1582. On July 8, 1585 he was again received at the College coming from England, and finally on his way from Paris to England he was again the guest of the College from Mar. 25, 1590 to Apr. 23, 1591.f Another brother (the 4th son of Michael), Edward, arrived at Rheims June 1, 1586, was confirmed by Cardinal de Guise, Dec. 18 following, and left for Rome Mar. 27, 1590.$ There, Cardinal Gasquet writes (op. cit., pp. 157-8), he ' was ordained M.ar. 19, 1594, but did not go to England until 1597. Two years later he was already a prisoner in the Clink, London, as- appears from a list of prisoners in that year, and from a letter written to the Archpriest Blackwell from that prison on Jan. 15, 1590. He had been captured ten days before by the apostate Sacheverell " (as to whom see 'N. & Q.' 11 S. viii. 405). Nicholas Tempest, a cousin of the third Robert, being the elder son of his uncle Thomas, and brother of Catherine Clifford mentioned above, arrived at Rheims Apr. 28, 1584 and again Nov. 8, 1590. He left for Namur July 10, 1591 and returned Sept. 12, 1591. He again returned from Douay Feb. 13, 1593, and left on May 4 following to take up a military career, " nostri vitae generis pertaesus militatum abut D. Nicolaus Tempest, scholasticse theologies studiosus. " He died s.p. before 1643, and was buried at ? Carrow. If, as seems certain, he took service with the King of Spain, Carrow probably means Corunna (Sp. La Coruna).j
