an English Baptist minister, was born in Lancashire, Dec. 13, 1727. At an early age he was converted under the preaching of John Nelson, the Methodist Evangelist, but he afterward became a Calvinistic Baptist. In 1751 he accepted the call of the Baptist Church in Coventry, and there labored until his death in 1803. He prepared a Concordance to the Bible (8vo), which is cheap and accurate, and has passed through many editions. There is a Memoir of him by his wife.
