[P] In 1680 Lewis du Moulin published a pamphlet, 'Moral reflections
upon the number of the elect, proving ... that ... probably not one in
a million from Adam down to our time shall be saved.' Lane's answer
appeared in the same year:--'Mercy triumphant: the kingdom of Christ
enlarged beyond the narrow bounds which have been put to it by Dr. L.
du Moulin....'
=Sir Henry Lee= (1530-1610/1).
=Sir Henry Lee= (15-- -1631).
[99]Sir Henry Lee of Ditchley in com. Oxon was a gentleman of a good
estate, and a strong and valiant person.
He was raunger of Woodstocke parke, and (I have heard my old cosen
Whitney say) would many times in his younger yeares walke at nights in
the parke with his keepers.
Sir Gerard Fleetwood succeeded him in this place[X.]; as his nephew Sir
William Fleetwood did him, and him the earl of Rochester.
[X.] J. S. on the heroicall epistles of Michael Drayton--'In Rosamund's
time, one Vaughan.'
This Sir Henry Lee's nephew and heire (whom I remember very well;
he often came to Sir John Danvers') was called _Whip-and-away_. The
occasion of it was thus:--this old hero declining in his strength
by age and so not being able to be a righter of his owne wronges as
heretofore--
Labitur occiduae per iter declive senectae.
Subruit haec aevi demoliturque prioris
Robora. Fletque Milo senior cum spectat inanes
Illos, qui fuerant solidorum more tororum
Herculeis similes, fluidos pendere lacertos.
