William Chibald

, or Chiball, a Surrey man born, was entred a Student into Magd. coll. 1589. aged 14. but whether in the condition of a Servitour or Clerk, I know not. Afterwards he took the degrees in Arts, entred into the Sacred Function, became a Preacher in London, and at length Rector of St. Nicholas cold Abbey in Old Fishstreet there, where continuing many years was much frequented and admired for his edifying way of Preaching. He hath written and published,
