Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Biography, or Lives of Eminent Men Connected With the History of Religion in England, Vol. 5 of 6: From the Commencement of the Reformation to the Revolution Sir Henry Wotton (whose life I now intend to write) was born in the year of our redemption 1568, in Bocton-hall (commonly called Boston, or Bougton-place, or palace,) in the parish of Bocton Malherb, in the fruitful country of Kent: Bocton-hall being an ancient and goodly structure, beautitying and being beautified by the parish church of Bocton Malherb adjoining unto it, and both seated within a fair park of the Wottons, on the brow of such a hill as gives the advantage of a large prospect and of equal pleasure to all beholders. But this house and church are not remarkable for any thing so much as for that the memorable family of the Wottons have so long inhabited the one, and now lie buried in the other, as appears by their many monuments in that church: the Wottons being a family that hath brought forth divers persons eminent for wisdom and valour; whose heroic acts and noble employments, both in England and in foreign parts, have adorned themselves and this nation, which they have served abroad faithfully in the discharge of their great trust, and prudently in their negotiations with several princes; and also served at home with much honour and justice in their wise managing a great part of the public affairs thereof, in the various times both of war and peace.
