Rh of Parliament now assembled,’ London, 1640, 8vo, reprinted in 1641. The pamphlet contains a clear statement of the theory of the balance of trade. The sections on currency and the foreign exchange are based upon Gerard Malynes's ‘Lex Mercatoria.’ The pamphlet was reprinted, with only a few verbal changes, as ‘Great Britain's Remembrancer, Looking in and out; tending to the Increase of the Monies of the Commonwealth. Presented to his Highness the Lord Protector and to the High Court of Parliament now assembled,’ London, 1655, 8vo. New chapters, however, were added, in which the author recommended the establishment of a bank, a council for mint affairs, and free ports.

 MADDOCK, HENRY (d. 1824), legal author, eldest son of Henry Maddock of Lincoln's Inn, barrister-at-law, resided for a time at, but took no degree from, St. John's College, Cambridge, and on 25 April 1796 entered Lincoln's Inn, where he was called to the bar in Michaelmas term 1801, and afterwards practised as an equity draftsman. He died at St. Lucia, in the West Indies, in August 1824.

Maddock published: 1. ‘The Power of Parliaments considered in a Letter to a Member of Parliament,’ London, 1799, 8vo; an argument against the legislative union with Ireland, based on an alleged inherent incapacity of the Irish parliament to part with its own powers. 2. ‘A Vindication of the Privileges of the House of Commons, in answer to Sir Francis Burdett's Address,’ &c., London, 1810, 8vo. 3. The first part of ‘An Account of the Life and Writings of Lord Chancellor Somers, including Remarks on the Public Affairs in which he was engaged, and the Bill of Rights, with a Comment,’ London, 1812, 4to, a fragment justly praised by Lord Campbell (Chancellors, iv. 62 n.) 4. ‘A Treatise on the Principles and Practice of the High Court of Chancery,’ London, 1815, 2 vols. 8vo, a work of solid and accurate learning, of which a second edition, much enlarged, appeared in 1820, and a third in 1837, 2 vols. 8vo. 5. ‘Reports of Cases argued and determined in the Court of the Vice-Chancellor of England during the time of Sir Thomas Plumer, Knt.,’ London, 1817–22, 5 vols. 8vo.

 MADDOX, ISAAC (1697–1759), bishop of Worcester, son of Edward Maddox, citizen and stationer of London, was born in the parish of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, on 27 July 1697. Early left an orphan, he was brought up by an aunt, who sent him to a charity school, and then put him to a pastrycook. He was too studious for an apprentice, and obtained further schooling from Hay, then curate (afterwards vicar) of St. Stephen's, Coleman Street, and from an uncle at Newington Green. On an exhibition (1718–21) from the presbyterian fund, he studied at Edinburgh University. The degree of M.A. was granted by the senatus on 23 Feb. 1723 (diploma followed on 9 March) to Maddox and John Horsley (father of Bishop Samuel Horsley) [q. v.], who are described as ‘Angli præcones evangelici, academiæ olim alumni.’ It is improbable that Maddox as a presbyterian held any congregational charge, though he may have acted as chaplain and tutor; ‘præco’ would naturally imply that he was licensed, but not ordained. Calamy is wrong in placing his conformity about 1727. He received deacon's orders in London on 10 March 1722–3 from Thomas Green [q. v.], bishop of Norwich, and became curate at St. Bride's, Fleet Street. He had priest's orders on 9 June 1723 from Edmund Gibson [q. v.], bishop of London, who sent him to Oxford. He entered Queen's College, Oxford, on 15 June 1724, and was incorporated a member, and admitted B.A. by decree of convocation on 9 July 1724. In the same month he was inducted into the vicarage of Whiteparish, Wiltshire. He was incorporated in 1728 at Queens' College, Cambridge, and admitted M.A. on 15 April. In October 1729 he was appointed clerk of the closet to Queen Caroline. Edward Waddington, bishop of Chichester, who had made him his domestic chaplain, collated him in January 1729–30 to the prebend of Bury in Chichester Cathedral, and on 14 Feb. he was collated to the rectory of St. Vedast, Foster Lane, London. He was admitted D.D. at Cambridge by royal mandate on 28 Oct. 1730.

In 1733 Maddox published the work by which he is best known, a ‘Vindication’ of the Elizabethan settlement of the church of England: it was undertaken at Gibson's suggestion as a reply to the first volume (1732) of the ‘History of the Puritans’ by Daniel Neal [q. v.], who replied in a ‘Review’ (1734). Maddox convicts Neal of occasional slips, but fails to shake his general credit. As a statement and defence of the anti-puritan position, Maddox's book has merit and ability. Zachary Grey [q. v.], who criticised Neal's subsequent volumes, had
