Afterwards, upon an invitation, he was made Minister of Plymouth in Devonshire; where continuing to the great liking of the inhabitants, yet notwithstanding he left them, and went to Halifax in Yorkshire, where, as it seems, he was a Curate or Lecturer. He hath published,

An Exposition on the second Epistle of S. Paul to Timothy, the first chapter,Clar. 1632. &c. Lond. 1625. qu. To which was the Exposition of the second, and of other parts of Scripture, added.—Lond. 1632. fol. Among several Records in the Prerogative-office, I once saw the last Will (c)(c) In Reg. Evelyn Qu. 54. and Test. of one John Barlow Clerk, of Chiddingfield in Surrey, which was proved 26. May 1641. the Testator having some weeks before been dead, but whether this John Barlow be the same with the former Joh. Barlow, who was the writer, I cannot justly say, nor whether he be the same with Joh. Barlow M. of Arts, who in Sept. 1620. became Prebendary of Wivelscomb in the Church of Wells, on the resignation of Will. Barlow. The said Joh. Barlow of Chiddingfield doth mention his Brethren, Edward, Raphe, Laurence, William and Rob. Barlow.
