a Congregational minister, was born in England in 1604, and was educated at Cambridge. After teaching and preaching for a time, he emigrated to this country in 1635, and settled, with his friends who had preceded him, in Hingham, Mass. After a residence of some years, the people of his former charge at Haverhill, England, urged him to return to them as pastor, but he declined, and remained with his friends, preaching only at times. He died in 1678. Sprague, Annals of the Amer. Pulpit, 1, 68. (J. H.W.)
