John Heath

, more famous for his Poetry than the former for his preaching, was born at Stalls. (whether a hamlet or House I know not) in Somersetshire, educated in Wykehams School, admitted Perpetual fellow of New coll. 1607. aged 22. took the degrees in Arts, that of Master being compleated in 1613. and three years after left his Fellowship. But before that time, when he was Bach. of Arts, he wrote and published,

Two centuries of Epigrams. Lond. 1610. in tw. and had verses printed in several books that occasionly were published, particularly in that on the death of Sir Th. Bodley Kt. He hath also made a translation from Spanish,Clar. 1615. into English, which I have not yet seen, and wrote other matters fit for the Press, but whether ever printed I cannot tell.
