of Farnaby's copyright. Letters from G. J. Vossius to Farnaby appear in Vossius's Epistolæ; and four of Farnaby's letters to Vossius are printed in Vossius's Epistolæ Clarorum Virorum. Other letters appear in John Borough's Impetus Juveniles (1643), and in Barten Holyday's Juvenal. Farnaby prefixed verses in Greek with an English translation to Thomas Coryat's Crudities, and he wrote commendatory lines for William Camden's Annales. Ben Jonson was a friend of Farnaby, and contributed commendatory Latin elegiacs to his edition of Juvenal and Persius. John Owen praises Farnaby's Seneca in his Epigrams. He is highly commended in Dunbar's Epigrammata, 1616, and in Richard Bruch's Epigrammatum Hecatontades duæ, 1627. Family Farnaby married, first, Susan, daughter of John Pierce of Lancells, Cornwall; and secondly, Anne, daughter of John Howson, bishop of Oxford, afterwards of Durham. By his first wife he had (besides a daughter Judith, wife to William Bladwell, a London merchant) a son, John, captain in the king's army, who inherited his father's Horsham property, and died there early in 1673. By his second wife he had, among other children, a son Francis, born about 1630, who inherited the Kippington estate, Sevenoaks, and was a widower on 26 January 1663, when he obtained a license to marry Mrs. Judith Nicholl of St. James, Clerkenwell.
