John Barclay (1582-1621) — Robert Barclay (1648-1690)
Dr. John Pell tells me, that his last employment was Library-Keeper of the Vatican, and that he was there poysoned.
Memorandum:—this John Barclay haz a sonne332, now (1688) an old man, and a learned quaker, who wrote a Systeme of the Quakers’ Doctrine in Latine333, dedicated to King Charles II, now <to> King James II; now translated by him into English, in.... The Quakers mightily value him. The booke is common.
Notes
331Johannes Barclaius, Scoto-Britannus:—from Sam. Butler—was in England some time tempore regis Jacobi. He was then an old man, white beard; and wore a hatt and a feather, which gave some severe people offence.
