The last stroke would have been given by Ludlow tithe Irish rebellion, if the usurpation of Cromwell had ñ| prevented it.

*[∣UDOLPH, Job, a learned writer of the seventeenth c∣tury, was born at Erfurt, in Thuringia.

Wudolph, Henry William, nephew of Job above men-tiaed, was born at Erfurt in 1655. He came to Eng-lãní as secretary to Μ. Lenthe, envoy from the court of Cd∣enhagen to that of London; and being recommended to ’rince George of Denmark, he was received by that price as his secretary. He enjoyed this office for some y⅛s, until he was incapacitated by a violent disorder, whn he was discharged with a handsome pension. After he ιad recovered, he travelled into Muscovy, where he was well received by the czar, and where his knowledge led the ignorant Muscovite priests to believe him a conjuror. On his return to London in 1694, he was cut for the stone; and, as soon as his health would permit, in acknowledgment of the civilities he received in Muscovy, he wrote a grammar of their language, that the natives might learn their own tongue in a regular method. He then travelled into the East, to inform himself of the state of the Christian church in the Levant; the deplorable condition of which induced him, after his return, with the aid of the Bishop of Worcester, to print an edition of the New Testament in the vulgar Greek, in order to present it to the Greek church. In 1709, when such numbers of Palatines came over to England, Mr Ludolph was appointed by Queen Anne one of the commissioners to manage the charities raised for them; and he died early in the following year. His collected works were published in 1712.
