LLOYD (William), a learned Englifli prelate, born at 
Tilehurft in Berkfliire in 1627. He was inftrufted in 
grammar-learning by his father, who was reftor of his na¬ 
tive place; under whom he made fo rapid a progrefs, that, 
when he u’as only eleven years of age, he underftood La¬ 
tin and Greek, and fomething of Hebrew. He was not 
quite twelve when he was entered a ftudent of Oriel-col¬ 
lege, Oxford; whence, in 1640, he was removed to a fcho- 
larlhip in Jefus. In 1642, he proceeded B. A. and then 
quitted the univerftty, which was at that time garrifoned 
by the king’s troops. As foon as the place furrendered 
to the parliament, he returned, was elefted fellow of his 
college, and commenced M. A. in 1646. In 1648, he was 
ordained deacon by Dr. Skinner, bilhop of Oxford; and 
afterwards undertook the office of tutor to the children of 
William Backhoufe, efq. of Swallowfield in Berkfliire. 
In 1656, he was ordained prieft by Dr. Browning, biffiop 
of Exeter; and within four months after the reltoration 
of king Charles II. in 1660, he was incorporated M. A. 
at Cambridge ; and, about the fame time, was promoted 
to a prebend in the collegiate church of Ripon in York- 
ffiire. In 1666, the king appointed him one of his chap¬ 
lains; and, in the following year, he was collated to a 
prebend in the cathedral of Salifbury. About this time 
he took the degree of D.D. at Oxford. In r668, he was 
prefented by the -crown to the vicarage of St. Mary\in 
Reading; and, in the fame year, was inftalled archdeacon 
of Merioneth, in the church of Bangor, of which he was 
made dean in 1672. Soon afterwards he was appointed 
to a prebend of St. Paul’s in London; and, in 1674, be¬ 
came relidentiary of Salifbury. In 1676, he was inftituted 
to the vicarage of St. Martin’s in the Fields, in Weft- 
minfter; on which occafion he refigned his prebend of 
St. Paul’s. In the year 1680 he was promoted to the fee 
of St. Afaph.

vernment of the Church, as it was in Great Britain and 
Ireland, when they firft received the Chriltian Religion.’’ 
This book was occafioned by the difputes concerning 
epifcopacy, particularly David Blondel’s treatife on that 
fubjeft; and difplays much curious information relative 
to the ancient ecclefiafticah hiftory of the Britifli iflands. 
On account of one part of it, in which he cuts off forty- 
four fictitious kings in the hiftory of Scotland, he was at¬ 
tacked, with great vehemence, by fir George Mackenzie 
of Rofehaugh, advocate to king James II. in “A Defence 
of the Antiquity of the Royal Line of Scotland,” &c. 
1685, 8vo. This piece being feen while in manufeript 
by Dr. Stillingfleet, he wrote a full anfwer to it, by way 
of preface to his Origines Britannic®. In 1&8S, Lloyd 
was one of the fix bifhops, who, together with archbifhop 
Sancroft, were committed to the Tower, for prefenting 
a petition to king James II. againft that prince’s declara¬ 
tion for fufpending the laws in favour of the papifts, 
which the clergy were enjoined to read in the churches. 
Their triumphant acquittal, the enthufiaftic joy which 
even the king’s troops around his perfon difcovered on 
receiving the intelligence of it, and the fevere mortifica¬ 
tion which it created to that tyrannical prince, are cir- 
cumftances well known, in Englifli hiftory. See the article 
England, vol. vi. p. 693. About the latter end of the 
fame year, biffiop Lloyd, having concurred heartily in 
the revolution, was made almoner to king William III. 
and, in 1692, was tranfiated to the fee of Lichfield and 
Coventry. In 1699, he publilhed A Chronological Ac¬ 
count of the Life of Pythagoras, and of other famous 
Men his Contemporaries; with an Epiftle to the Rev. Dr. 
Bentley, about Porphyry’s and Jamblicus’s Lives of Py¬ 
thagoras; in which his erudition and critical ikill appear 
advantageoufly difplayed. In 1699-1700, our author 
was tranfiated to the bilhopric of Worcefter. Two years 
afterwards, a complaint was preferred againft him in the 
lioufe of commons, that he and his fon had interfered 
improperly in the eleftion of knights of the [hire for the 
county of Worcefter; in confequence of which the lioufe 
refolved, that his proceedings had been carried on in vio¬ 
lation of the liberties and privileges of the commons of 
England, and that an addrefs ffiould be prefented to the 
queen, requefting her to remove the bilhop of Worcefter 
from the office of almoner to her majefty. The bilhop 
was accordingly difmifled from his poll of honour at 
court. He died at Hartlebury Caftle in 1717, when he 
had arrived at the ninety-firft year of his age ; and retained 
to the laft the perfeft ufe of his underftanding. Bilhop 
Burnet, who knew him well, gives the following charac¬ 
ter of him : “He was a great critic in the Greek and La¬ 
tin authors, but chiefly in the Scriptures; of the words 
and phrafes of which he carried the moft perfeft concor¬ 
dance in his memory, and had it the readied: about him 
of all men that ever I knew. He was an exaft hiftorian, 
and the moft punctual in chronology of all our divines. 
He had read the moft books, and with the bell judgment, 
and had made the moft copious ab ft rafts out of them, of 
any of this age. He was fo exaft in every thing he fet 
about, that he never gave over any part of (tudy till he 
had quite maftered it. He had many volumes of mate¬ 
rials upon all fubjefts, laid together in fo diftinft a me¬ 
thod, that he could, with very little labour, write on any 
of them. He had more life in his imagination, and a 
truer judgment, than may feem confident with fuch a la- 
borious courfe of ftudy. Yet, as much as he was fet on 
learning, he had never' neglefted his paftoral care. He 
was a holy, humble, and patient, man, ever ready to do 
good when he law' a proper opportunity; even his love of 
ftudy did not divert him from that.” Befides the pieces 
already mentioned, he publilhed, 3. A Letter to Dr. Wil¬ 
liam Sherlock, in Vindication of that Part of Jolephus’s
