On the accession of JAMES I. he still retained the royal favour, and received the honour of knighthood, as stated above. His only son, Henry, dying soon after, leaving him no hope of founding a family, he devoted much of his wealth to publishing books. He collected the best copies of St. Chrysostom, and employed learned men to transcribe, and annotate them, which he fairly set forth at his own cost, computed at £8000, in a superb edition; but the papists at Paris (writes an old author) had their emissaries in England, who surreptitiously procured this knight's learned labours, and sent them over weekly by the post into France, sheet by sheet as here they passed the press; and Fronto Duceus, a French cardinal, printed them, as received out of England, only joyning thereunto a Latin translation, and some

SAV

other inconsiderable additions, inasmuch that there were two editions of St. Chrysostom at the same time."
