"He was born at East Hildersly, or Ilderley, near Wantage, in Berks, educated in Grammar learning at Reading, entered a Commoner in St. John's College, Oxford, 1574, or thereabouts, continued there till near Batchelor's Standing, and then he retired to the Middle Temple, where after severe encounters had with the crabbed parts of the municipal laws, he became a Barrister, and noted for his great proficiency in his profession, and integrity in his dealings. In the latter end of Queen Elizabeth, and beginning of King James, he was several times elected a Burgess, to sit in Parliament, in which he was a frequent speaker; afterwards he was Counsellor, and Under Steward for several years to the University of Oxford; the members of which conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts, in 1612. Two years after, he was made Serjeant-at-law, and in 1616, Mary 17, received the honor of Knighthood at Theobalds, from his Majesty, King James I. After his death some of Works were published, which bear these titles,
Cases collected and reported from the original in French, that then (1663) remained in the hands of Sir Jeffrey Palmer, Attorney General to King Charles the 2nd, which is the same, as I take it, written fairly with the Author's hand in fol. that was lately in the library of Arthur, Earl of Anglesey.

Our Author, F. Moore, was a member of that parliament, as it seems, wherein the Statute concerning Charitable Uses was made, and was, as 'tis farther added, the penner thereof. At length paying the last debt to nature on the 20th November 1621, aged 63, was buried in a Vault under the Church at Great
Fawley, near to Wantage, before mentioned, in which Vault his posterity (who
