Battologiam ab iteratione, recte distinguit Erasmus. Mod. Orandi Deum, p. 56-144 . Southwell's Thoughts of his own death . Baudius on Erasmus . The Bishop and much company dined at Lleweney. Talk of Greek and of the army . The Duke of Marlborough's officers useless. Read Phocylidis , distinguished the paragraphs. I looked in Leland: an unpleasant book of mere hints.
Scaliger acknowledged his epigrams were admirable . Casaubon being informed that Grotius had written some verses on the death of Theodore Beza, says, "he heard with infinite pleasure that so great a man had his elegy written by so great a poet ."

Gerard Vossius speaks of him as the greatest poet of his age, and the prince of poetry.
