Carew, in his Survey of Cornwall, giving an
account of the eminent Men born in that Dutchy, reckons among the
Civilians Doctor Carew (o) :
"In the Civil Law", says he (p), " there lived of
late Doctor Kennals, and now (q) doth Doctor Carew,
one of the antientest Masters of the Chancery; in
which Calling, after his younger Years spent abroad
to his benefit, he hath reposed himself."
He mentions him again among the Persons employed in State Affairs, and
therethrough stept to Preferment (r).
"Master George Carew", says he, " in his younger Years
gathered such Fruit as the University, the Inns of
Court, and Foreign Travel could yield him. Upon his
Return, he was first call'd to the Bar, then supply'd
the Place of Secretary to the Lord Chancellor Hatton;
and after his Decease, performed the like Office to his
two Successors, by special Recommendation from her
Majesty, who also gave him the Prothonotaryship of the
Chancery; and in anno 1598 sent him Ambassador to the
King of Poland, and other Northern Potentates, where
through unexpected Accidents, he underwent extraordinary
Perils; but God freed him from them, and he performed his
Duty in acceptable manner : And at this present the
Commonwealth useth his Service, as a Master of the Chancery.
