a learned Puritan divine, was born at Richmond, Yorkshire, in 1576; and was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, of which he became fellow, and afterwards Hebrew lecturer. On leaving the university, he settled first at Watford, Hertfordshire; then at Reading, Berkshire; and in 1625 he obtained the living of St. Mary Aldermanbury, London, which he retained during the remainder of his life. He died early in 1632. His contemporaries unite in giving him a high character for learning, piety, and usefulness. Among his works are, Commentary on the Epistle of St. Paul written to Titus (Camb. 1612, 4to; 1616, 1619, best ed. 1658, fol.): Treatise of Christian Religion (1616, 4too): Exposition upon Parable of the Sowe, etc. (Lond. 1621, 4to; 1631, 1634): Christ's Victory over the Dragon (1633, 4to): Christ Revealed, or the Old Testament Explained, etc. (1635, sm. 4to). Other works, with Life, appeared (Lond. 1653, fol.). See Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.; Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.
