a learned English divine, who flourished in the 17th century, was fellow of Magdalen College, rector of Beckington and Hornblotton, Somersetshire. He published Lectures on the Lord's Prayer (London 1626, 4to). He was also a very superior scholar of exegesis, and a prominent assistant on Walton's Polyglot Bible. His services were highly commented upon by bishop Walton himself. See Wrangham, Proleg. 2, 203; Todd, Life of Walton, p. 269 sq.; Stoughton (John) Ecclesiastes Hist. of English. (London, 1870, 2 vols. 8vo), 2, 332; Allibone, Dict. of Authors, 1, 58.
