from David Quidnunc the following:_diary 1660/02/23.
ANSLOW — Annesley, Arthur (1614-86) — at about this time (perhaps already, perhaps starting soon — the Companion volume is unclear) Annesley is an associate of Crew and Montagu and a moderate puritan. He will do pretty well for himself and we’ll see him a bit in the future. Here’s a description of his singular looks, apparently from the diary: “his face long and emaciated, his complexion between purple and green, his eyes frightening.” He was a hard worker, able and serious, although Pepys will criticize his administrative abilities years from now. He was a friend of John Milton. Annesley’s grandson in 1724 will give Magdelene College 200 pounds to transport Pepys’s library to Cambridge. (Companion)

Character according to Bishop Gilbert Burnet (1643-1715).
A man of grave deportment, strong application, and great knowledge, especially in law, who understood our government well, and had examined far into the original of our constitution. He was a indefatigable but very ungraceful speaker, and too apt to forget that raillery, which he was always attempting, was no part of his talent; but, what was the worst in him, he stuck at nothing, insomuch that he seemed to disregard common decencies; for he sold everything in his power, and himself, so oft, that at last the price fell so low that he grew useless and contemptible.
