Crakanthorpe, Richard
, originated from a gentleman’s family at Strickland in Westmoreland, where he
was born in 1567, and in 1583 was admitted in Queen’s
college in Oxford, of which he obtained a fellowship in
1598. He was esteemed a celebrated preacher and a
deep controversial divine, and was particularly admired by
the puritans. When king James 1. sent the lord Evers ambassador to the emperor, Mr. Crakanthorpe went along with
him in 1603 as chaplain; and upon his return he was chaplain to Dr. Ravis, bishop of London, and presented to the
rectory of Black Notley, near Braintry in Essex. He had
the reputation of a general scholar, was a considerable
canonist, and perfectly acquainted with ecclesiastical antiquity and scholastic divinity. He died in 1624, at his
rectory of Black-Notley. His works are, 1. “Justinian
