_Querela Cantabrigiensis_ (Vol. ii., pp. 168. 205.).--MR. SANSOM is
sustained by Anthony Wood in assigning the _Querela_ to Dean Ryves; but it
may be doubted whether he were anything but the editor, publishing it as an
Appendix to the _Mercurius Rusticus_. The title of the work is _Querela
Cantabrigiensis: or A Remonstrance by way of Apologie for the banished
Members of the late flourishing University of Cambridge, by some of the
said Sufferers_. Now Dean Ryves was a member of the University of Oxford.
In Wood's _Fasti_, it is stated that he took the degree of B.A., Oct. 26,
1616, being then of New College. On June 9, 1619, he was admitted of
Magdalen College, as a member of which he took his B.D. in 1632, and
proceeded to D.D. in 1639. He had nothing therefore to do with the
sufferings of the members of the University of Cambridge. In the _Life of
Dr. Barwick_, the account given of the _Querela Cantabrigiensis_ is:--

"But _Mr. Barwick's_ no inconsiderable part of this tragedy, together
with others of the university, groaning under the same yoke of tyranny,
_and each taking a particular account of the sufferings of his own
college_, {449} gave a distinct narrative of all these barbarities, and
under the title of _Querela Cantabrigiensis_, or the _University of
Cambridge's Complaint_, got it printed by the care of _Mr. Richard
Royston_, a bookseller of _London_, who did great service to his king
and country, by printing and disposing, in the most difficult times,
books written in defence of the royal cause." pp. 32-33.
