an English Puritan divine, was born at Nottingham, in 1557, and educated at Queen's College, Cambridge. He became rector of Hawnes, in Bedfordshire, and died August 24, 1607.

See Rose, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Fuller, Worthies of England (ed. Nuttall), 2:575; Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.
