CCCXXXVlil LIFE OF BACON. 



Upon investigation it appeared, on this charge of a discon 

 tented suitor, that instead of 1000 having been advanced, 

 the sum was 100, which was presented on behalf of 

 Young after the decree, either by Young or by Mr. Toby 

 Matthew, a son of the Archbishop of York, through life 

 an intimate friend and correspondent of the Chancellor s, 

 and in 1623 knighted by King James, (a) 



Worth and In the cause of Worth and Mainwaring, it was alleged 



Jf n a j nwa &quot; that the Chancellor had been bribed by 100. Upon 



examination it appeared, that some months after the decree, 



which was for a great inheritance, the successful party 



presented 100. to the Chancellor, (b) 



Hody and In the case of Hody and Hody, the charge was, that 

 100. or 200. was presented to the Chancellor. The 

 fact was that, some time after the suit was terminated, 



cause ended, I received 100/. either by Mr. Toby Matthew, or from Young 

 himself: but whereas I have understood that there was some money given 

 by Holman to my servant Hatcher, to that certainly I was never made 

 privy. See note G G G. 



() Son of Dr. Tobie Matthew, Archbishop of York. He was born at 

 Oxford, in 1578, while his father was Dean of Christ Church, and educated 

 there. During his travels abroad, he was seduced to the Romish religion 

 by Father Parsons. This occasioned his living out of his own country from 

 the year 1607 to 1617, when he had leave to return to England. He was 

 again ordered to leave it in October, 1618; but in 1622 was recalled to 

 assist in the match with Spain ; and, on account of his endeavours to pro 

 mote it, was knighted by King James I. at Royston, on the 10th October, 

 1623. He translated into Italian Sir Francis Bacon s Essays, and died at 

 Ghent in Flanders, October 13, 1655, N. S. 



(ft) To the thirteenth article of the charge, namely, He received of 

 Mr. Worth 100/. in respect of the cause between him and Sir Arthur 

 Mainwaring,&quot; I confess and declare that this cause, being a cause for inhe 

 ritance of good value, was ended by my arbitrament and consent of parties ; 

 so a decree passed of course ; and some months after the cause was ended, 

 the 10Q/. mentioned in the said article was delivered to me by my servant 

 Hunt. Hunt was detected by the Chancellor as having privately received 

 200/. which he made him return.
