versions follow the keri in translating " Cherethites "), perhaps by confusion with the later passage. The Great Cylinder Inscription of Sennacherib seems to indicate that Hezekiah had an Arabian body-guard (cf. Sayce, Higher Criticism and the Monuments, pp. 431, 433, London, 1894).

CHEYNELL, FRANCIS: Puritan; b. in Oxford 1608; d. at Preston, near Brighton, Sussex, 1665. He studied at Merton College, Oxford, and became fellow; took orders and held a curacy near Oxford and a living near Banbury; on the outbreak of the civil war he became an active partizan of the parliamentary side, and, as a reward for his services, was given the living of Pctworth, Sussex, in 1643. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly the same year. In 1646 parliament determined to " reform " the University of Oxford and appointed Cheynell one of a commission to " prepare the way," and the next year made him one of the visitors; he is said to have been " the most detested as well as the most active and meddlesome of all." Ir. 1648 he took forcible possession of the Lady Margaret professorship of divinity and the presidenc,,' of St. John's College, but either resigned or was removed in 1650. He was deprived of his living some time before the general ejection of non-conforming ministers in 1662. He attended William Chillingworth (q.v.) in his last illness, showing himself " as charitable and compassionate as his rigid orthodoxy would permit him to be " (Des Maizeaux, Life of Chillingworth, p. 314): he refused to officiate at the burial, but attended the ceremony with Cliillingworth's book in his hand, and in the course of a bitter harangue threw it into the grave, exclaiming, " Get thee gone, thou cursed book. rot with thy author and see corrup-
tion." To justify his conduct he published Chillingworthi novissima, or the sickness, heresy, death, and burial of W Chillingworth (London, 1664); he also published The Rise, Growth, and Danger of Socinianism (1643) and other works.

bishopric of the modern Bavaria. Before the middle of the eighth century, a monastery was founded, probably from Salzburg, on an island in the Chiemsee, the largest lake of Bavaria. In 788 it was given by Charlemagne to the church ot Metz, which retained possession of it till 891, when King Arnulf exchanged it for Luxeuil and presented it to Salzburg. The foundation of the bishopric was due to Archbishop Eberhard of that see (1200-46), and was confirmed by the Lateran Council m 1216 and by Innocent III. shortly after The extent of its jurisdiction was only about eight miles by four,
