John Evelyn's Diary. 30th November 1682. I was exceedingly endangered and importuned to stand the election, having so many voices, but by favour of my friends, and regard of my remote dwelling, and now frequent infirmities, I desired their suffrages might be transferred to Sir John Hoskins (age 48), one of the Masters of Chancery; a most learned virtuoso as well as lawyer, who accordingly was elected.
