[7] There is a half-length portrait of the Earl, in a robe de chambre, laced cravat, and flowing hair (with a ship in the back ground of the picture), by Sir Peter Lely, now in the family: and also two of his Mother, Lady Greene; one a half-length, with her infant Son standing by her side; the other, a three-quarters; both either by Sir Peter Lely, or by one of his pupils.
[8] Dr. Burton was President (i. e. Vice-master of the College) when Mr. Pegge's Son was admitted of it, 1751; but soon afterwards took the Rectory of Staplehurst in Kent, which he held till his death in 1759.
[9] The Platt-fellowships at St. John's are similar to what are called Bye-fellowships in some other Colleges at Cambridge, and are not on the Foundation. The original number was six, with a stipend of 20l., per annum each, besides rooms, and commons at the Fellows' table. They were founded by William Platt, Esq. (Son of Sir Hugh Platt, Knt.) an opulent citizen of London, out of an estate then of the annual value of 140l. Being a rent-charge, the Fellowships cannot be enlarged in point of revenue, though the number has been increased to eight, by savings from the surplus. There is a good portrait of Mr. Platt in the Master's Lodge at St. John's, with the date of 1626, æt. 47. He died in 1637. More of him may be seen in Mr. Lysons's Environs of London, vol. III. pp. 59, 66, 70, 71, 110, 376.
