Excerpt: ... from his Favour, would not dare to lay hold of the Government, was resolved to improve the. general Consternation and Confusion of the Peo-Ele to his Advantage, being sensible that the No-!es would be emulous, who should most shew his Zeai in placing him upon the Throne. Finding therefore the Nobility ready to make their Addresses to him, he cunningly caused a Rumor to be spread abroad by his Emissaries, that being tir'd with the Toils of his Charge of Lord High Steward of Mus-covy, he was resolved to quit it, by retiring into a Monastery, to end the remainder of his Day s in quiet. The People being thus more and more transported with the Apprehensions of their Ruin, when they perceived, that among all the Nobility, there was not one who durst as much as to under-take the Management of the Government, they join'd with the Nobility, and the Clergy, whose chief Interest consisted in maintaining the Publick Peace, were of opinion, that all the States of die Empire ought to make their humble Submissions to Boris, to try whether by their joint Importunities, he might, perhaps, be prevail'd upon to take upon him the Burthen of the Empire. The Nuns quit-ted their Cloisters, and the Women ran with their Children in their Arms, to back the Estates of the Empire, and to offer their most humble Prayers to Boris, like to the tutelar Saint of Muscovy; so, that being at last overcome by their Prayers and La-mentations, he yielded to the absolute Necessity of his Country; and, after he had spoken much in praise of a retir'd Life, hejprotested to them, That p. it was not to the Honour and Greatness of his House,,sucu but meerlytt their Importunities, and the Love of his L'tsoftu Country, that he mas going to sacrifice all the Satisfa-C rm J1 0' Elion he found in a reti...

Jodocus Crull
Edit ProfileCareer
He applied himself to medicine at Holland"s Leiden University. The Doctor of Medicine
Subsequently Crull settled in England although he may have been a public school student there before he matriculated at Leiden. He was created Doctor of Medicine of Cambridge by royal mandate on 7 August 1681.
Elected a fellow of the Royal Society on 23 November 1681 and admitted on 30 November.
And later admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians on 22 December 1692. Crull"s life remains rather ambiguous for some accounts speculate that he subsisted mainly by doing translations and compilations for booksellers while seeming to have met with little success in his profession since there are a number of omissions of his name on the annual list of the Fellows of the Royal Society which, according to the author (Gordon Goodwin) of the Crull entry in the 1917 Doctorate.N.B., suggest an inability to pay.
Other accounts imply the likelihood that Crull may have been a dilettante and eccentric who had the means to follow his interests and who may not have paid his fees to the Royal Society with regularity since he may not have attached a great significance to being listed yearly. Where he practised medicine could have been in London or its environs for he settled in London but resided outside of the city because of "country" being appended to his name on the lists.
The fact that Crull could entreat Sir Hans Sloane"s vote at the coming election of a navy physician or interact with Sir Isaac Newton and other luminaries of his age shows that he was comfortable with himself.
And that the latter view of him runs counter to Goodwin"s portrayal of him in the Doctorate.N.B., an entry which also neglects to mention that Crull received the Doctor of Medicine from King"s College in the University of Cambridge in 1681.
