(Paul), alias Buchlin, a learned protestant minister, born at Rheinzabern in Germany in 1504. He was a schoolmaster at Isna; but afterwards became a zealous preacher, and wrote many books. The persecution in Germany menacing danger to all who did not profess the Romish doctrines, he and Bucer came over to England in 1549, at the invitation of archbishop Cranmer, to perfect a new translation of the scriptures. Fagius took the Old Testament, and Bucer the New, for their respective parts; but the design was at that time frustrated by the sudden deaths of both the professors. He died in 1550, and Bucer did not live above a year after. Both their bodies were dug up and burned in the reign of queen Mary.
