taken the degree of Doctor of Physic at Leyden, had come to England when but a young man, and, after having been incorporated in the same degree at Cambridge (1684), had been in medical practice in London.  At the beginning of the Long Parliament, he had taken the Parliamentarian side, and had written, under the name of “Irenaeus Philalethes,” two Latin pamphlets against Bishop Hall’s Episcopacy by Divine Right—­pamphlets very much in the same vein of root-and-branch Church Reform as those of the Smectymnuans and Milton at the same time.  Since then, still adhering to the Parliament through the Civil War, he had become well known as an Independent—­much, it is said, to the chagrin of his old father, who was a Presbyterian, with leanings to moderate Episcopacy; and in 1647, in the Parliamentary visitation of the University of Oxford, he had been rewarded with the Camden Professorship of History in that University.  He had been made M.D. of Oxford in 1649.  At least three publications had come from his pen since his appointment to the Professorship, one of them a Translation into Latin (1650) of the first chapter of Milton’s Eikonoklastes.  From this we should infer, what is independently likely, that he was acquainted with Milton personally.[2]—­Very different from the Independent and Commonwealth’s man Lewis Du Monlin.  M.D. and History Professor of Oxford, was his elder brother PETER DU MOULIN, D.D.  Born in 1600, he had been educated, like his brother, at Leyden, and had taken his D.D. degree there.  He is first heard of in England in 1640, when he was incorporated in the same degree at Cambridge; and at the beginning of the Civil War he was so far a naturalised Englishman as to be Rector of Wheldrake, near York.  From that time, though a zealous Calvinist theologically, he was as intensely Royalist and Episcopalian as his brother was Parliamentarian and Independent.  So we learn most distinctly from a brief MS. sketch of his life through the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth, written by himself after the Restoration, for insertion into a copy of the second edition of one of his books, of date 1660, presented by him to the library of Canterbury Cathedral.  “Our gracious King and now glorious Martyr, Charles the First, he there says, finding that his rebellious subjects, not content to make war against him in his kingdom, assaulted him with another war out of his kingdom with their tongues and pens, he set out a Declaration to invite all his loving subjects and friends that could use the tongues of the neighbouring states to represent with their pens the justice of his cause, especially to Protestant Churches abroad.  That Declaration smote my heart, as particularly addressed to me; and I took it as a command laid upon me by God himself.  Whereupon I made a solemn vow to God that, as far as Latin and French could go in the world, I would make the justice of the King’s and the Church’s cause to be known, especially to the Protestants of France
