Abbot, Robert
, a clergyman of the Church of England, but whether belonging to the archbishop’s family is
uncertain, was originally of the university of Cambridge,
and was incorporated master of arts of Oxford, July
14, 1607. He was afterwards vicar of Cranbrooke in
Kent, and minister of South wick in Hampshire. When
Ephraim Udall, the lawful rector of St. Augustine’s, Watling-street, was sequestered by authority of the House of
Commons in 1643, the living was given to Mr. Abbot,
which he enjoyed until his death, at a very advanced age,
in 1653. He published “Four Sermons,” 8vo, Lond. 1639,
dedicated to Curie, bishop of Winchester, who had been
his patron; and some other single sermons, a small catechism, &c.
There was about the same time a Robert Abbot of Hatfield, mentioned by Dr. Pulteney, as a learned preacher,
and an excellent and diligent herbalist, who assisted the
celebrated Johnson in his works.2
