Ward, master of Sidney; but the state of his health requiring his return after about two months, his place was supi>lied by Dr. Goad. During his short residence, however, he preached a Latin sermon before the synod, and on his departure, among other honourable testimonies of their esteem, received from them a rich gold medal, which is painted sus|>ended on his breast in the fine por- trait now in £mmanuel colleee. It ap- pears, by hie treatise entitled Via Media, that he was not extremely rigid... with respect to all the five points ; but his was not an age for moderation, and no party •ought a middle way. In 1624 he re* fused the bishopric of Gloucester ; but in 1627 be accepted that of Exeter, holding with it in commendam the rectory of 8l &«ock, in Cornwall. At this time he ap^ars again to have lain under the sa^ndon of being a favourer of the Poritans. It must be allowed that the rdigious principles which he inculcated from the pulpit and the press were much more consonant to what the Puritans maintained, than the Arminianism for which Laud contended, but at the same time bishop Hall's zeal for epbcopacy was not inferior to that of any sup- porter of the Church.
