Hugh Boulter, Doctor of Divinity, and Archdeacon of Surrey, was confecrated Bishop of Bristol, on the 15th of November 1719, and tranflated from thence to the Archiepifcopal See of Armagh 1724. In the fcarce Years of 1727 and 1728, when a Famine threatned this Nation, he diftributed great Quantities of Corn for the Relief of the Poor throughout the Kingdom, which, it is verily believed, was a great Means of preventing the threatning Calamity, for which the House of Commons paffed a Vote of publick Thanks to him, and ordered all the Vagrant Poor to be received in the Poorhouse, where they were maintained at the private Expence of that great Prelate. He erected four Houses at Drogheda, for the Reception of Clergymen's Widows; and purchased an Eftate for the Endowment of them. He also made a Donation of twenty-five Pounds a Year, during Pleasure, to Stephens's-Hofpital, erected for the Maintenance and Cure of the Poor, and fubfcribed fifty Pounds towards the finishing of the faid House, in which he hath also furnished a Ward for the Reception of Patients, and laid out thereon confiderable Sums of Money. He died September 27th, 1742, much lamented by all Degrees of People.

Bountiful Boulter's Name shall ever live,
O pen and free his Charities he gave
U nto the Poor and Indigent who ftill,
Lift up their Hearts, with Thanks for his good
Will.

R eliev'd great Numbers at that rigorous
Time.

A Prelate great, is now in Dublin's See,
(Defcended from a noble Family)

And in it may he long preferved be.

Honour, and Health, long Life may he poffefs,
With each Comfort, which augments Happiness,
May Joys unspeakable in his Breast arife,
Until he is transfer'd beyond the Skies,
Unto the heavenly Place of God above,
Where Saints and Angels fing the Songs of Love,
With all the Holy Choir, there may he be,
To join with them in Songs eternally.

In 1453, the melancholy News was brought to Dublin, that Conftantinople was taken by the Turks, and the Emperor Conftantine Paleologus lain.

James Uber was tranflated to this See from that of Meath on the 21st of March 1624. He was born in the Parish of St. Nicholas Within, Dublin, on the fourth of January 1580. His Ancestor's Name by the Father's Side was originally Nevil who came into this Kingdom withKing John,in the quality of Ufher of the Chamber; and from thence what was the Name of Office, came to be the Name of the Family: His Father's Name was Arnold Uber, who was one of the Six Clerks in Chan cery; a Perfon of good Efteem for his Integrity, and Prudence. By the Mother's Side, he was defcended from the Staniburf's. She was the Daughter of James Staniburft, who was a Lawyer of diftinction, Recorder of the City of Dublin; a Mafter in Chancery; and three Times elected Speaker of the House of Commons. In 1588, when eight Years old, he was fent to a Grammar School in Dublin, which was kept by two learned Scots, James Fullerton, and James Hamilton.

he

he applied himself clofe to hisStudies, and improved himself greatly in Learning, A. D. 1607, he took his Degree of Batchelor of Divinity, having performed his Exercises with more than ordinary Applause. Archbishop Loftus foon after promoted him to be Chancellor of St. Patrick's, Dublin. In 1610 he was unanimously elected Provost of Trinity College; but no Entreaties could prevail on him to accept the Charge; but by his Advice they made Choice of William Temple, who was afterwards Knighted, and for seventeen Years governed the College with great Wisdom. A. D. 1612, he took his Degree of Doctor of Divinity, being admitted by the Vice-Chancellor Doctor Hampton, Archbishop of Armagh. In February 1620, he was made Bishop of Meath; and it is very obfervable that this high Promotion rather increased than abated his Practice of Preaching. In four Years after he was promoted to the Archbishoprick of Armagh. For fome hundreds of Years there were great Contefts and Difputes for Precedence, between the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin; but in 1634 it was finally fettled through means of this Primate, who proved the Precedence of the See of Armagh to that of Dublin, and it was accordingly fo determined by the Lord Deputy and Council, and confirmed by the King.

D. 1643 he was nominated by the Parliament, to be one of the Affembly of Divines at Weftminfier; but while the Matter was under Debate in the Houfe, a Queftion arofe, whether he should be admitted or not; upon which Mr. Selden answered, that they had as good inquire, whether they had beft admit Inigo Jones, the King's Architect, to the Company of Moufe-trap-makers. In 1654, he preached Mr. Selden's Funeral Sermon, in which, with great Modefty, he told his Audience, That he looked on the deceased, as fo great a Scholar, that himself was scarce worthy to carry his Books after him.' This great and

worthy

worthy Prelate died in 1655, on the 21st of March at Rygate in Surry, after thirteen or fourteen Hours Illness. Some of his last Words were, " Lord ⚫ forgive me, efpecially my Sins of Omiflion.
