Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Manuscripts of the Earl Cowper, K. G, Vol. 3: Preserved at Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire Secretary Sir John Coke (whose papers are contained in Volume I. and the first part of Volume II.) left surviving him at his death in 1644 two sons. Of these the elder, born in 1608 and admitted of Trinity College, Cambridge in 1623, became Sir John Coke, knight, in July 1633, and a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Derbyshire in 1636. He was re turned a member for the County of Derby in November 1640 (the Long Parliament). The Commons Journals record that on 6th June 1643 he was one of seven members "who desired further time to consider of the Covenant before they enter into it," and that on the 8th "Sir John Coke took the new Oath and Protestation, and entered into the new Covenant." In September 1643 he subscribed the Solemn League and Covenant. In January 1646-7 Sir John Coke was appointed one of the nine Commissioners to receive the King at the Scottish headquarters at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and to have charge of him at Holdenby. In 1648 Sir John Coke left England for France and died in 1650. He left no issue. Thomas Coke, the younger son of the Secretary, was born in 1614, and was admitted of Trinity College, Cambridge, and became a barrister of Grays Inn, He was returned for the Borough of Leicester to the Parliament of April - May 1640, and again to that of November 1640 (the Long Parliament). In the early days of the latter Parliament he was appointed a member of the Committees of Inquiry after Popish Recusants, respecting the jurisdiction of the High Commission, the papers seized from Sir Edward Coke, the petition of Dr. Bastwick, the Customs and Impositions since 1624, and other Committees.
