=Robert Pugh= (1609-1679).
[756]Captain Pugh, my acquaintance, a writer and a poet. Bred up in
Societate Jesu; but turn'd out because he was a captaine, viz. in the
late warres.
He hath a Latin poem, printed, which will be augmented; and printed a
booke against Dr. <George> Bates' _Elenchus motuum nuperorum_.
He was borne of a good family in ... North Wales (I thinke,
Caernarvonshire).
[757]The native place of captain R. Pugh is spelt thus--Penrhyn.--When
you saw him at Bathe, he wrot this discourse in 8vo, viz.
Bathonensium et Aquisgranensium thermarum comparatio, variis adjunctis
illustrata: R. P.: epistola ad illustrissimum virum, Rogerum,
Castlemaini comitem: Londini: Jo. Martyn, at the Bell in St. Paul's
church-yard, 1676.
He was educated at St. Omar's.
When his studie was searcht, his orders were there found, and also a
lettre from the Queen-mother, whose confessor he had sometimes been,
to the king, that, if he should fall into any danger of the lawe, upon
sight of that lettre he should obtaine his majestie's pardon.
[758]My honoured friend, captain Robert Pugh, dyed in Newgate, on
January 22 <1678/9>, Wednesday night, 12 a clock; and lyes buryed in
Christ Church churchyard on the north side, a yard or two from the
wall, neer about the middle of the length. He writt a booke, which is
almost finished, 'Of the severall states and goverments that have been
here since the troubles,' in the earl of Castlemaine's hands.
All his bookes were seised on; amongst others his almanac, wherin he
entred omnia Caroli II deliramenta[759], which was carryed to the
councell boord: but, as I have sayd, the earl of Castlemain hath gott
the former-mentioned treatise.
=Francis Quarles= (1592-1644).
[760]Francis Quarles, lived at Bath at the Katherine-wheele inne
(opposite to the market-house), and wrote there, a yeare or two.
=William Radford= (1623-1673).
[761]William Radford, my good friend and old acquaintance and fellow
coll<egiate>, ended his dayes at Richmond, where he taught schoole, 14
dayes since. I was with him when he first tooke his bed.
And when I was sick of the small-pox at Trinity College Oxon, he was so
kind as to come to me every day and spend severall houres, or I thinke
melancholy would have spoyled a scurvey antiquary. He was recounting
not many dayes before he dyed your brother Ned's voyage[762] and Mr.
<Thomas> Mariett's to London on foote.
[763]Mris Anne Radford, the widowe of Mr. William Radford, schoolmaster
of Richmond, is now (1673) 33 yeares old. Was borne the 4th of June at
4ʰ P.M. She haz a solar face (yet the sun <in her horoscope> could not
be _in ascendente_), and thrives well, and has a good sound judgment.
