Eusebius Paget

was born at Cranford in Northamptonshire, sent to Oxon at 12 years of age in the Reign of Q Mary, was made Choirister, and afterwards, as it seems, Student of Ch. Ch. where making a considerable progress in Logick and Philosophy, departed without a degree, (tho a noted Sophister,) and at length became Rector of the Parish Church of St. Anne and St. Agnes within Aldersgate, in London, where he continued many years a constant and faithful Preacher of Gods word. He hath written and published,

The History of the Bible, briefly collected by way of Question and Answer.—When first printed I know not. Sure ’tis, that one edition of it came out at London 1627. oct. In the title of which, ’tis said, that it was corrected by the author. Another edition came out in 1657. in tw. and one or more afterwards.

Serm. of Tithes, on Gen. 14. 20, 21. Lond. 1583. oct.

Serm. of Election, on Gen. 25. 23. Lond. in oct.

Catechism. Lond. 1591. oct. He also translated from Lat. into English, Harmony on Matth: Mark, and Luke, written by Joh. Calvin. Other things, as ’tis said, he hath either written or translated, but such I have not yet seen. He died in a good old age, either in the latter end of May, or beginning of June, in sixteen hundred and seventeen, and was buried in his Church of SS. 1617 Ann and Agnes before-mentioned, leaving then behind him a Son named Ephraim Paget, (whom I shall hereafter mention,) a godly and learned Minister, and one that suffered by the Presbyterians, in the beginning of the Grand Rebellion raised by them.
