Quae nova, quaeque minus novit sententia vulgi, Haec miranda putant, haec paradoxa vocant. lure ergo thesibus titulum nomenque dedisti, Quod magis aptum illis, convenit atque magis: Sed cum doctrinae pandas arcana profundae, Non paradoxa latent, sed Petro doxa patent. Die 24 mensis Maii anno 1717 conclusiones habuit videlicet summulas reformatas Aristotelico-Thomisticas Divo Thomae consecratas quasque summa laude propugnavit.

Admodum D. loannes Ingleton, Seminarii Anglorum Parisiensis tituli Divi Gregorii Praeses, literis Olissiponem directis die 4 Septembris eiusdem anni in hunc modum retulit. I take the liberty to acquaint you that amongst our many other misfortunes it has pleas'd God to afflict us with the death of Mr Lostock, who died of a malignant feavour the 31 th of last Augt. in great sentiments of piety as he had liv'd. He was a man of singular parts, improv'd by great study & application since he came hither, and accompany'd with a sweetness of temper and humility wch is rarely found. Nothing could be more grievous unto me then so great a loss. 96 & 168; A3, 104; G, 216-17. (Cheshire.) Son of Thomas Holford [Lostock] and Mary Wrath, Protestants.
