WILLIAM RAWLEY, D.D. 



LORDSHIP'S FIRST AND LAST CHAPLAIN AND OF LATE HIS 

 MAJESTIES CHAPLAIN IN ORDINARY. 



[This is the title 01 an eumon printed in 1670, after Dr. Rawley's death, and pre- 

 fixed to the ninth edition of the Sijlva Sylvarum. The text of the Life itself is taken 

 from the second edition of the Resuscitatio, the latest with which Rawlcy had anything 

 to do. I have, however, modernised the spelling ; altered at discretion the typographical 

 arrangement as to capitals, italics, and punctuation, which is very perplexing to a 

 modern eye and has nothing to recommend it; and added the notes. J. S.~\
