Giles Workman

Son of Will. Workm. was born at Newton-Bagpath in Glocestershire, entred a Batler in Magd. Hall in the year of his age 18, dom. 1623, took the degrees in Arts and afterwards became Vicar of Wallford in Herefordshire, Master of the College School in Glocester, and at length by the favour of Matth. Hale Esq. (afterwards L. Ch. Just. of the Kings-bench) he became Rector of Alderley in Glocestershire. He hath written,

A modest examination of Lay-mens preaching, discovered to be neither warranted by the Word of God, nor allowed by the judgment or practice of the Churches of Christ in New England, &c. Lond. 1646. in about 6. sh. in qu. What else he hath published, unless one or more Sermons, which I have not yet seen, I know not, nor any thing besides, only that he dying in sixteen hundred fifty and five (as his eldest Son hath informed me) was buried in the Church of Alderley beforemention’d.1655. This Person who was a quiet and peaceable Puritan had a Brother called John Workman a schismatical Lecturer in Glocester, who by medling with things indifferent, created not only a trouble to his Diocesan, but to the Archb. of Canterbury, as you may fully see in Canterburies Doome.
