MEMOIR OF WALTON. cxlvii

 I desire. 



" He was made prebendary of Windsor about two years before the Wars, 

 and enjoyed it but two years. 



"He was not long sick ; about a fortnight, and then not very ill, but 

 discoursed with all his friends as freely as in his Health, till within half 

 an hour before his death, for Mr Montague was then talking with him, 

 and left him for half an Hour, and before he returned he was dead, and 

 had his perfect senses to the last minute. 



" After he came to Eton, for thirty years together he was never hindered 

 by any sickness from studying constantly from 5 o'clock in the morning 

 till night, seldom eating any Dinner. 



"About the time of Archb. Laud's Death, he retired from his Lodgings 

 in the College into a private chamber in Eton, where he remained for a 

 quarter of a yeare unknown to any body, and spent in that time only 6d. 

 p week, living only upon Bread & Beere, and as he had formerly fasted 

 from Tuesday night to Thursday night, so in that time of his retirement he 

 absteined from his Bread & Beer, and when he heard that Abp. Laud was 

 murdered, he wished his head had been cut off for him." 



Then follows the Will ; with two letters of Hales on Cases of Con- 

 science ; and one or two tracts.
