The party to whom Abbot was opposed, employed every effort 

 tare thttacei&at to hit dindvantage, both with the public and 

 with the kin. ; and Jam**, although he very sensibly remarked that 

 "aa7ange4mV >* nitoarried in this sort," found it necessary to 

 anotot a oiinimUsini to consider the case of the archbishop, and to 

 pfcathsr he had not, by this act of chance medley, inca- 



i| MT 'f aa Laud and bis partisans asserted, fur discharging 



dntie* of his nmftt The adjudication of the commissioners was, 

 infer more than M irregularity had bora committed, but that 

 t wouldbe neosstary for the archbishop to receive the king's pardon, 

 dispensation before he could resume the exercise of his 

 Tbea* formt were accordingly gone through ; but the 

 fm+. nn great vexation and distress to Abbot, both from the scandal 

 o which H subjected him, and from the feelings with which ho natu- 

 rally contemplated the event of which he had been unintentionally 

 he oauaa. It i. said that, throughout the remainder of his life, ho 

 observed a monthly fast on the day of the week which had thus 

 rt^hv^ his band with blood ; and he also settled a pension of twenty 

 pounds for life on Hawkins's widow. After this he withdrew for somo 

 fane from bis attendance at the Council Board, and took no part in 

 public aftaira, Tbe following year, however, on hearing it reported 

 Jut the king intended to proclaim a toleration to the Papist*, he 

 wrote a letter to his majesty, dissuading him from that measure. He 

 aha, soon after this, strenuously opposed in parliament the projected 

 m .t*t. between the Prince of Wales and the Infanta of Spain. On 

 the 2nd of February, 1626, Abbot crowned Charles I. in Westminster 

 Abbey, Land officiating as Dean of Westminster. The new reign 

 confirmed the ascendancy of Laud and Buckingham, and left the 

 archbishop and his politics leas influence at court than ever. In these 

 circumstances he selected and steadily persevered in that Independent 

 th in which alone he was now to find either honour or safety. In 

 6S7, when Dr. Manwaring was brought to the bar of the House of 

 Lords, and sentenced to be fined, admonished, suspended, and im- 

 prisoned, for a sermon in which he asserted tbat " the king is not 

 sound to observe the laws of the realm concerning the subject's rights 

 and liberties, but that his royal will and command in imposing loans 

 and taxes, without common consent in parliament, doth oblige the 

 subjects' conscience upon pain of eternal damnation," Abbot, in 

 ' landing the culprit, by order of the House, expressed in energetic 

 his abhorrence of so audacious a doctrine. He also refused to 

 another discourse of a similar description, which had been 

 preached at Northampton by Dr. Sibthorp, and for this he was sus- 

 pended from his archiepiaoopal functions, and ordered into confine- 

 nent in one of bis country houses. This most arbitrary and oppressive 

 treatment was mainly the work of bis vindictive enemy Laud, whoso 

 character, accordingly, the archbishop has delineated with a pen dipped 

 in gall, in a narrative of the affair which he drew up in his own 

 vindication, and which Rushworth has printed. It was found neces- 

 sary however, soon after, to restore him to favour, and ho received 

 ais summons as usual to the parliament, which assembled in March, 

 1628. During the rest of his life ho continued the same course of 

 opposition to the arbitrary and oppressive measures of the court. 

 He died at bis palace of Croydon, on Sunday, the 4th of August, 1 C33, 

 and was buried in Trinity Church, Ouildford, where a costly monu- 

 ment waa erected to his memory. He was the founder of a well- 

 endowed hospital, which still exists in that town ; and other instances 

 art recorded of his charity and munificence. 



Archbishop Abbot U the author of several literary productions, 

 among which are an ' Exposition on the Prophet Jonah,' published 

 in 1600, and 'A Brief Description of the whole World," published 

 i. ;.

ABUALLATIK, or, with hi. full name, Momtf&cddin Abu Mokam- 

 td AUattf bt )/ bt* Mokammtd ben AU ben Abi Said, a 

 distinguished Arabic writer, whose name has became familiar to us 

 chieBy through an excellent description of Egypt, of which ho is the 

 author. The Baron 8ilve.tr. da Sacy has appended to hU French 

 > of this tnatiac, a notice of the life of Abdallatif, taken 

 jrom UM bibliographical work of Ebn-Abi-Osaibia, who knew A 

 latif personally, and to a gnat extent quotes an account of his lifo 

 written by himself. 



We laarn from this notice that Abdallatif was born at Baghdad in 



7 (A.0. 1161). From his earliest years he received a lettered 



oeation. Agreeably to the prevailing fashion of his age and country, 



wniob considered a thorough familiarity with the copious and classical 



Arabic Unman as the indispensable groundwork for every liberal 



eownt, h waa Ud to commit to memory the Koran, the much- 



Makamat, r novels of Hariri, and other compositions dis- 



for tlie purity and elegance of their diction, besides Koverul 



LS.i^EiL l T. Un i!L on i' ty i a l r * r inm r - NMt * the * 



adiaa, be bad already bestowed some attention on 



Mulman jurisprudence, when the arrival at Baghdad of Ebn-al- 



i, a naturalist from the western provinces of the Arabian empire, 



is curiosity towards natural philosophy and alchemy, of 



the illusory nature of which Utter pur.uit he seems not till late, and 



neb watte of time and labour, to have convinced hit.
