Lancelot Moorehouse

Mr. Lancelot Moorehouse, minister of Pertwood (40 li. per annum), about 6 miles from Kilmanton, a very learned man, and a solid and profound mathematician, wrote against Mr. Francis Potter's booke of 666, and falls upon him, for that 25 is not the true roote, but the pro-pinque root ; to which Mr. Potter replied with some sharpness, and that it ought not to be the true roote, for this agrees better with his purpose. The manuscript pro and con Mr. Moorehouse gave to Seth Ward, bishop of Sarum, 1668 ; together with a MS. in folio (in French) of legues between . . . king of England and . . . king of France, and a prophecy concerning England, curiously written in Latin verse, one sheet in 4to, which he rescued from the tayler's sheeres.
