[216] Edward Phillips’s account.
[217] Richard Jones was not at any college.
[218] Peter du Moulin, Royalist and Episcopalian, had been private tutor to the second Earl of Cork’s family in Ireland. He translated the Devil of Mascon, a French story of authenticated spirit-rapping, published in 1658, with an introductory letter by Robert Boyle, to whom it was dedicated; and in 1670 du Moulin dedicated a volume of Latin poems to Boyle. He was the author of the Regii Sanguinis Clamor. His brother, on the other hand—Lewis du Moulin, Doctor of Physic—was a Parliamentarian and Independent, and, after the Visitation, was Camden Professor of History at Oxford.
[219] Name given by Boyle to that “hopeful young gentleman,” Mr. Richard Jones, to whom Boyle addressed his Physiological Essays, etc.
[220] Passport granted in September 1656. See Masson’s Milton, vol. v. Her eldest daughter, Catherine, was possibly then already married and already in Ireland. She married (1) Sir William Parsons, (2) Lord Mount-Alexander. The two other daughters, Elizabeth and Frances, were with their mother (see later).
