FRANCIS, lord Cottington. W. Hollar; small oval. FRANCIS, lord Cottington. Sherlock sc. in Smollett. Lord Cottington, who was chancellor and under-treasurer of the exchequer, and master of the court of wards, in this reign, was, during the civil wars, constituted lord high-treasurer;* but does not appear to have acted in that office. In the reign of James I. he was long resident in Spain, and had much of the Spanish solemnity in his air and aspect. He had the greatest command of his temper and countenance; could say the pleasantest things with the gravest face; and was as great a master of dissimulation, as he was of humour. He, from experience, had a great knowledge of mankind; had a head fertile in expedients to procure money for the king; and raised the revenue of the court of wards higher than it was ever known in any former period. Having acquired an affluent fortune, he retired, towards the close of his life, to Valladolid in Spain, where he died about the year 1651, in the seventy-seventh year of his age.
