LLOYD, Wii.i.ia.m, in Biography, an Englifli prelate, 

 was born at Tilehurd, in Berklhire, in 1637. His father, 

 rcftor of his native place, took great pains in the education 

 of his Ion, who repaid hi-s attention by :; mod rapid progrefs 

 in the learned languages. He was not quite twelve years 

 of age when he was entered a dudent of Oriel-college, 

 Oxford, whence he removed, in 1640, to a fcholardiip in 

 •Tefus-coUcge. He was ordained in 1656, and, after the 

 redoration, he obtained, in a very Ihort time, confiderable 

 preferment in the church, till at length, in 1680, he was 

 promoted to the fee of St, Afaph. fii 16S4, he publidicd 

 his " Hidory of the Government of the Church, as it was 

 in Great Britain and Ireland, when they fird received the 

 Chridian Religion." In 1688, bid-.op Lloyd was one of 

 the fix bidiops who, together with avchbiiliop Sancroft, 

 were committed to the Tower for prefenting a petition ta 

 king James II., againd that prince's declaration for fuf- 

 pending the laws in favour of the Papids, which the clergy 

 were enjoined to read in the churches. Their triumphant 

 acquittal is well known to our readers. About the clofe of 

 the lame year, being known to concur very zialoufly in the 

 revolution, he was made almoner to king William HI., and, 

 in 1692, was tranflated to the fee of Lichfield and Coventry. 

 In 1699, he publidied " A Chronological Account of the 

 Life of Pythagoras, and of other famous Men, his Contem- 

 poraries : with an Epidle to the Rev. Dr. Bcntley, &c." 

 In 1699, he was trandated to the bidiopric of \Vorceder, 

 Having, fome time after this, been charged with an improper 

 interference in the county eleftion, he was difmiffed from 

 the office of almoner. He died at Hartlubury-cadlc in the 

 year 17 17, when he had attained to the nincty-drd year of 

 his age. According to bilhop Burnet, Dr. Lloyd " was a 

 great critic in the Greek and Latin authors, but chiefly in 

 the fcriptures. He was an exatt hidorian, and the mod 

 pundtual in matters of chronology. As much, however, 

 as he was fet on learning, he had never ncglefted his padoral 

 care. He was a holy, humble, and patient man, ever ready 

 to do good when he faw a proper opportunity ; even his 

 love of iludy did not divert him from that." He was 

 author of a great nninber of publications, the titles of which 

 are given in tlie Biographia Britannica : and he left feveral 

 pieces behind him in an inilininicd date ; among thefe was 

 " A Sydem of Chronology," out of which his chaplain, 

 Mr. Benjamin Mardial, was faid to have compofed his 

 Chronological Tables. He was fuppofed to have had a 

 principal fharc in the " Series Chronologica Olympiadum, 

 Idhmiadum, Nemeadum, &c." publiflied by his fon at 

 0.\ford in 1700. He engaged bldiop Burnet to undertake 

 his " Hidory of the Reformation," furniflied him with a 

 curious collection of fafts and obfervations : and he affided 

 Dr. Wilkins in compofing his " EfTay towards a real 

 Charafter, and a philofophical Language." Biog. Brit. 



Lloyd, Robert, fon of Dr. Peirfon Lloyd, was one 

 of the uflicrs of Wedminder-fchool. We have already, under 

 the article Churchill, refered to this unfortunate young 

 man, who is known chiefly as an author, by a poem, entitled 

 " The Aftor," which not only exhibited proofs of great 

 judgment in the fubjeft he was treating of, but had alfo 

 the merit of fmooth verCiication and drength of poetry. 

 He was fome time at the univcrfity of Cambridge, where he 

 took the degreeof M. A. After he quitted his place as udier 

 at Wedminder-fchool, he relied entirely on his pen for fub- 

 fideiice : being of a thoughtlefs and very extravagant difpo- 

 fition, he got deeply into debt, and was in confequence thrown
