Note 25 — GEORGE LYMAN KITTREDGE

The following short character of Glanvill, by Bishop Kennet, may be quoted, not because it is just, but because it might conceivably be brought forward by somebody in rebuttal of this proposition:—“Mr. Joseph Glanvill of Lincoln College, Oxon. Taking the Degree of M. A. in the beginning of 1658, was about that Time made Chaplain to old Francis Rous; one of Oliver’s Lords, and Provost of Eaton College.—He became a great Admirer of Mr. Richard Baxter, and a zealous Person for a Commonwealth. After his Majesty’s Restauration he turn’d about, became a Latitudinarian,—Rector of Bath, Prebendary of Worcester, and Chaplain to the King” (White Kennet, An Historical Register, 1744, p. 931).
