took the degrees in Arts as a Member of S. Albans Hall, that of Master being compleated in 1600, at which time he was much in esteem for Lat. Gr. and humane learning. Soon after he was made Master of the College School in Glocester, (in which office he was succeeded by John Langley) Prebendary of the Church there, Chaplain in ord. to K. Jam. 1. and Pastor of the English Church at Hambrough in Saxony, belonging to the English Merchant Adventurers there, in 1618; in which year he accumulated the degree of Doctor of Div. as a member of Merton Coll. His works are these.

Featley when he laid on his death bed, and afterwards to preach his funeral Sermon at Lambeth, printed at London 1645. qu. which Doctor I take to be the same with our Author, who, Clar. 1645. while he was Preb. of Gloc. did sometimes subscribe himself to certain Chapter-Acts by the name of Will. Leo. He died in the time of Usurpation, when the Church was destroyed for the sake of Religion; but where or when, I cannot tell. After the Restauration of K. Ch. 2. one Hugh Nash M. of A. succeeded him in his Prebendship, which for some years had lain void.
