(Adrian),** one of the most learned men of the age in which he lived, was born at Horn in Holland in 1511. He travelled into all parts of Europe, and practised physic with reputation in England; where, among other works, he composed a Greek and Latin Lexicon, to which he added above 6900 words; an Epithalamium on the marriage of queen Mary with king Philip of Spain; and *Animadverfa & de Coma Commentarius*, which is the most applauded of all his works. He died in 1575.

(Francis),** professor of divinity at Leyden, was born at Bourges in 1545, of a noble family, and studied some time at Lyons. Bartholomew Aneau, who was principal of the college in that city, gave him excellent instructions with regard to the right method of studying. He was remarkable for being proof against all temptations to lewdness; but a libertine so far overpowered him by his sophistry, that he made him an atheist; however, he soon returned to his first faith; and, adverse as he was to unlawful love, he had no aversion to matrimony, but was married no less than four times. He was employed in public affairs by Henry IV.; and at last was invited to Leyden to be professor of divinity, which employment he discharged with honour, till he was snatched away by the plague in 1602. Du Pin says, he was a learned and judicious critic. He wrote, in conjunction with Emmanuel Tremellius, a Latin version of the Hebrew text of the Bible. He also published Commentaries on a great part of the Holy Scriptures; and many other works, all in Latin.

(Francis),** or Francis du Jon, the son of the preceding, was born at Heidelberg in 1589. He at first designed to devote himself to a military life; but after the truce concluded in 1609, he applied himself entirely to study. He came to England in 1620, and lived 30 years in the earl of Arundel's family. He was greatly esteemed not only for his profound erudition, but also for the purity of his manners; and was so passionately fond of the study of the northern languages, that, being informed there were some villagers in Friesland where the ancient language of the Saxons was preserved, he went and lived two years in that country. He returned to England in 1675; and after spending a year at Oxford, retired to Windsor, in order to visit Voissius, at whose house he died in 1677. The university of Oxford, to which he bequeathed his manuscripts, erected a very handsome monument to his memory. He wrote, 1. *De Pictura Veterum*, which is admired by all the learned; the best edition of it is that of Rotterdam in 1694. He published the same work at London in English. 2. An explication of the old Gothic manuscript, called the Silver one, because the four Gospels are there written in silver Gothic letters; this was published with notes by Thomas Marechal, or Marshal. 3. A large Commentary on the Harmony of the four Gospels by Tatian, which is still in manuscript. 4. A Glossary in five languages, in which he explains the origin of the Northern languages; published at Oxford in 1745, in folio, by Mr Edward Lee.

**JUNK,** in sea-language, a name given to any remnants or pieces of old cable, which is usually cut into small portions, for the purpose of making points, mats, gaskets, fennit, &c.

**JUNO,** in pagan worship, was the sister and wife of Jupiter, and the goddess of kingdoms and riches; and also styled the *queen of heaven*. She presided over marriage and child-birth, and was represented as the daughter of Saturn and Rhea. She married Jupiter; but was not the most complaisant wife; for, according to Homer, that god was sometimes obliged to make use of all his authority to keep her in due subjection; and the same author observes, that on her entering into a conspiracy against him, he punished her by suspending her in the air with two anvils fastened to her feet, and golden manacles on her hands, which all the other deities looked on without a possibility of helping her. However, her jealousy made her frequently find opportunities of interrupting her husband in the course of his amours; and prompted her to punish with unrelenting fury Europa, Semele, Io, Latona, and the rest of his mistresses. Jupiter himself having conceived without any commerce with a female, Juno, in revenge, conceived Vulcan by the wind, Mars by touching a flower pointed out to her by the goddess Flora, and Hebe by eating greedily of lettuces.
