MORR (Henry), an eminent English divine and philosopher, in the 17th century, was educated at Eton school, and in Christ-college in Cambridge, of which he became a fellow, and spent his life in a retired way, publishing a great number of excellent works. He refused bithoprics both in Ireland and England. He was an open-hearted, sincere Christian philosopher, who studied to establish men in the belief of providence against atheism. Mr Hobbes was used to say, that if his own philosophy was not true, there was none that he should sooner like than our philosopher's. His writings have been published together in Latin and English, folio.
