Roger Hacket

, an eminent Theologist in the time he lived, was born in the Parish of St. James within the City of London, educated in Wykehams School, admitted perpetual Fellow of New coll. in 1577. took the degrees in Arts, holy Orders, and soon after was cried up for an eminent Preacher. In 1591. or thereabouts, he was made Rector of North-Crowley in Bucks And four years after proceeded in Divinity. All that I have yet seen of his writing or publication, are only

Several Sermons, viz. (1) Serm. at Pauls Cross, on 1 Sam. 11. 5, 6, 7. Oxon. 1591. oct. dedic. to the Lord Norrys. (2) Serm. on 2 Cor. 5. 20, 21. Lond. 1593. oct. (3) A Marriage present, on Gen. 2. 22. Lond. 1607. qu. (4) Sick mans glass, on Isaiah 30. 1, 2, 3. Lond. 1607. qu. (5) Serm. on Psal. 122. 6. &c. He concluded his last day in sixteen hundred twenty and one, or thereabouts,1621-22. (for in 1622. were several books conveyed into the publick Library at Oxon, by his bequest,) and was buried, as it seems, in his Church of North-Crowley before-mentioned.
