As_everv particular which relates to this great architect is ki- 

 rterefting, it may not be improper alfo to obferve, .that Jones, who 

 went a fecond time to Italy , in 1612, might poffibly have travelled™ 

 under the protection of the author's eldeft fon, John, who died 

 at Lucca in that year. As for his being patronifed by the Earl 

 of Pembroke at this time, it feems to be very juftly doubted by 

 Mr. Walpole °. ... ' 



It is not improbable likewife that Jones might have obtained the 

 considerable ftation he afterwards rofe to, from the patronage of 

 this family, . which confidered him as apromifing genius, that did 

 particular honour to,Gwedir and its neighbourhood. But to re- 

 turn' to what more immediately concerns the author of thefe 

 Memoirs, and his family. 



In 1 610 Sir John Wynne erected at LlanrwnY fome almmoufes 

 (to which he gave the name of Jefus Hofpital) for the reception 

 of twelve poor men, and drew up regulations for, the manage- 

 ment of his benefaction. He alfo endowed this charity very libe- 

 rally with the rectorial tithes of Egglwys Fach, which are now 

 valued at £. 200. per annum. 



- In 1 61 5 he had incurred the difpleafure of the Council of the 

 Marches, as the then Chancellor (Lord Ellefmere) is informed, 

 that Sir John Wynne, Knight and Baronet, is improper to be con- 

 tinued a member thereof, and alfo that his name mould not remain 

 in the xommiffion of the peace for Carnarvoniliire p . 



n The.umverfity of Oxford, A. D. 1605. upon King James vifiting it, 

 hired one Mr. Jones, a great traveller, who undertook to further them 

 much, and furniih them with rare devices, but performed very little, to. 

 that which was expected, though paid £. 50. for his fervice. Addition 

 to the fecond volume of Lei. Collect, p. 646.
