AINSWORTH, Dr Henry, an eminent nonconformist divine, who about the year 1590 distinguished himself among the Brownists, which involved him in so much trouble that he was obliged to retire to Holland, and became minister of a church at Amsterdam. His skill in the Hebrew language, and his excellent Annotations on the Holy Scriptures, which are still highly esteemed, gained him great reputation. He also wrote several pieces in defence of the Brownists, and some other works.
