ied to Lord Burleigh to intercede on his
behalf, and his lordship warmly espoused his cause, and engaged Attorney
Morrice to undertake his defence, but his arguments proved ineffectual. Mr.
Cawdray, refusing to submit, was brought before Archbishop Whitgift, and
other high commissioners, May 14, 1590, and was degraded and deposed from
the ministry and made a mere layman. The above account is abridged from
Brook's _Lives of the Puritans_, London, 1813, pp. 430-43.

P. S. Besides the _Treasurie of Similies_, I find the following work under
his name in the Bodleian Catalogue:

"A Table Alphabeticall; conteyning and teaching the True Writing and
Vnderstanding of hard vsuall English Wordes, borrowed from the Hebrew,
Greeke, Latine, or French, &c. London. 8vo. 1604."

The title of this work is--

"A Treasurie or Store-house of Similies; both Pleasant, Delightfull,
and Profitable for all Estates of Men in Generall: newly collected into
Heades and Common Places. By Robert Cawdray. Thomas Creed, London,
1609, 4to."

Cawdray was rector of South Luffenham, in Rutland; and was deprived by
Bishop Aylmer for nonconformity in 1587. He appealed to the Court of
Exchequer, and his case was argued before all the judges in 1591. A report
of the trial is in Coke's _Reports_, inscribed "De Jure Regis
Ecclesiastico." There is a Life of Cawdray in Brook's _Lives of the
Puritans_ (vol. i. pp. 430-443.), which contains an interesting account of
his examination before the High Commission, extracted from a MS. register.
Notices of him will also be found in Neal's _Puritans_, 1837 (vol. i. pp.
330. 341.); and Heylin's _History of the Presbyterians_, 1672 (fol. p.
317.).

For the following information respecting the author, and the original, I am

at fourteen apprenticed to a weaver, by persevering diligence in the
pursuit of knowledge, was enabled in 1771 to enter himself a student in
Divinity in the University of Edinburgh. On his return from college he
became tutor in the family of a gentleman, Mr. McGhie of Airds, who had
several beautiful daughters, to one of who
