BRAY, a parish of Berkshire, on the Thames, 23 miles from London. It obtains its chief notoriety from its vicar in the reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth, whose accommodating conscience suited itself to every change of circumstances. He became twice Papist and twice Protestant, in order that he might adhere to "his one principle," which was "to live and die Vicar of Bray."
