an English Baptist, bor at Epping, Essex, about 1617, took his degree at Cambridge. University, and soon became known for his great learning and useful preaching, thereby securing a valuable living at Great Hadham. In 1653 he was made one of Oliver Cromwell's chaplains, but refused Church preferment at the Restoration in 1660, and preferred persecution with the Dissenters. In 1668 he was chosen joint pastor with William Kiffin, at Devonshire Square, and continued a faithful laborer there until his death, in 1688. His modesty prevented him from printing anything, but he joined others in writing three controversial tracts, and he edited a volume of Sermons by his father. See Wilson, Dissenting Churches, 1:433-435.
