circumftances, took fo prodigious a liking to one officer 
in particular, that he gave him an apartment in his own 
houfe, and made him in a manner abfolute mailer of it, 
the officer’s friends being always welcome to his table. 
The merchant was a widower, and had two daughters; 
the officer call his wanton eyes upon them ; and, too fa¬ 
tally fucceeding, ruined them both! The confequence 
of this ungenerous aftion was, that all officers ever after 
were Ihunned as a public nuifance, as a pell to fociety; 
nor have the inhabitants perhaps yet conquered their 
averfion to a red coat. 
We read in Rapin’s Hiftory, that during Monmouth’s 
rebellion, in the reign of James II. a certain perfon, 
knowing the humane difpofition of one Mrs. Gaunt, 
\yhofe life was one continued exercile of beneficence, fled 
to her houfe, where he was concealed and maintained 
for.fome time. Hearing, however, of the proclamation, 
which promifed an indemnity and reward to thofe who 
difcovered fuch as harboured the rebels, he betrayed his 
benefaftrefs; and fuch was the fpirit of juftice and equity 
which prevailed among the minifters, that he was par¬ 
doned and recompenfed for his treachery, while Ihe was 
burnt alive for her charity! 
The following in fiance is alfo to be found in the fame 
Hiilory. Humphrey Bannifter and his father were both 
lervants to, and railed by, the duke of Buckingham ; who 
being driven to abfcond, by an unfortunate accident be¬ 
falling the army he had raifed againft the ufurper Ri¬ 
chard III. he without footman or page retired to Ban- 
niIter’s houfe near Shrewlbury, as to a place where he 
had all the reafon in the world to expert fecurity. Ban¬ 
nifter, however, upon the king’s proclamation promiling 
a reward of a thoufand pounds to him that Ihould ap- 
rehend the duke, betrayed his mailer to John Merton, 
igh flieriff of Shropfhire, who fent him under a ftrong 
guard to Salifbury, where the king then was, and there 
in the market-place the duke was beheaded. But divine 
vengeance purified the traitor Bannifter; for, demanding 
the 1000I. that was the price of his mailer’s blood, king 
Richard refufed to pay it him, faying, “He that would 
be falfe to fo good a mailer ought not to be encouraged.” 
He was afterwards hanged for manflaughter; his eldeft 
fon ran mad, and died in a hog-fty ; his fecond became 
deformed and lame; and his third fon was drowned in a 
-fmall puddle of water. His eldeft daughter was got .with 
child by one of his carters; and his fecond was feized 
with a leprofy, whereof Ihe died.

INGUIMBER'TI (Dominic-Jofeph-Mary d’),a learn¬

was born at Carpentras in the year 1683. He firlt em¬ 
braced the ecclefialtical life in the Dominican order, and 
diftinguiflied himfelf among the fraternity by the profi¬ 
ciency which he made in theological Itudies. Afterwards 
becoming diffatisfied with his conneftion, and defirous of 
fubmitting to what he conceived to be more perfect 
rules of monadic difeipline, he took the Itabit of the Cif- 
tercians in the houfe of Buon-Solazzo. In this order, 
his merits raifed him to the higheft offices of honour and 
confidence. Being deputed to Rome on the buiinefs of 
his monaftery, he fo highly recommended himfelf to the 
efteem of pope Clement XII. that, in the year 1733, that 
pontiff nominated him archbilhop of Theodofia in partibus 
infidelium, and bilhop of Carpentras. In this fituation he 
rendered himfelf univerfally refperted by his difeernment, 
his prudence, his piety, and the vigilant difeharge of his 
epifcopal funrtions. His mode of living was Ample and 
frugal; not for the fake of accumulating wealth, but that
