of
one hundred pounds out of such books as are sequestered, be forthwith
bestowed upon Mr. Peters.'

'Ao. 1644, 25 April. Whereas this House was formerly pleased to bestow
upon Mr. Peters, Books to the Value of an Hundred Pounds, it is this day
ordered, that Mr. Recorder, Mr. Whitlock and Mr. Hill, or any Two of
them, do cause to be delivered unto Mr. Peters Books of the Value of an
Hundred Pounds, out of the particular and private study of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and out of the Books belonging to the said
Archbishop, in his own particular.'

'Ao. 1644, 27 Junij. Whereas formerly Books to the Value of an Hundred
Pounds were bestowed upon Mr. Peters, out of the Archbishop of
Canterbury's particular private Study: And whereas the said Study is
appraised at a matter of Forty Pounds more than the said Hundred Pounds;
It is this day ordered, That Mr. Peters shall have the whole Study of
Books freely bestowed upon him.'

These books, however, appear to have been recovered after the
Restoration, for we find an entry in the Journals of the date of May 16,
1660, ordering 'That it be referred to the Committee to whom the
Business of Secretary Thurloe is referred, to take Order, that all the
Books and Papers, heretofore belonging to the Library of the late
Archbishop of Canterbury, and now, or lately, in the Hands of Mr. Hugh
Peters, be forthwith secured.'

In addition to his other benefactions to the University of Oxford,
Archbishop Laud founded in that university a Professorship of Arabic,
and endowed it with lands in the parish of Bray, in the county of Berks.

The works written by Laud are but few in number. They are _Officium
Quotidianum, or a Manual of Private Devotions_; _A Summary of
Devotions_; his _Diary_; and _A History of his Troubles and Tryal_;
together with some smaller pieces, sermons, and speeches. _A Relation of
the Conference between him and Fisher the Jesuit_, by Laud's chaplain
John Baily, was printed in 1624. A collected edition of his works,
edited by Henry Wharton, was printed in 1695-1700, and a second one in
the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology, in six volumes in 1847-49.

Portraits of him are to be found in St. John's College, Oxford, and at
Lambeth Palace. A copy of the last portrait, by Henry Stone, is in the
National Portrait Gallery.
