, was born at Holyard in Hampshire, educated in Wykehams School, admitted perpetual Fellow of New coll. 1589, took the degrees in Arts, and at length, was numbred among the best of Preachers in that house. In 1597 he left the coll. being then beneficed at Westmean in his own Country, was afterwards made Prebendary of Winchester, and in the year 1614. took the degrees in Divinity.
