1 This could hardly have been William Browne the poet, who, according to the accepted date of his birth, was at this time not over eighteen. The first part of his Britannia's Pastorals, however, seems to have been written before he was twenty. His elegy on the death of Henry was published, with another by Christopher Brooke, in 1613.

8 Joseph Hall, Dean of Gloucester (1617) and Bishop of Exeter (1627), was Henry's favorite chaplain. His Epistles (1608) were dedicated to the Prince, and contain letters to Chaloner, Newton, and Murray. His Char- acters of Vertues and Vices, dedicated to Lords Denny and Hay, appeared in the same year.
4 Paul Buys's (Busius) commentary on the Pandects was dedicated to the Prince and sent to him with a letter dated April n, 1609. (Birch, Life of Henry, p. 158.)
6 Launcelot Andrewes. His Tortura torli: sive; Ad Matthcei Torti Librum Responsio, in answer to Cardinal Bellarmine's attack on James's Apologie, appeared in this year.
