(William), an ingenious English painter of the 17th century, who, when the civil wars broke out, went into the army; but being made prisoner in Basinghouse, and refusing to take the oath to Oliver, he was banished to France. He was as great a proficient in engraving as in painting; and there are many specimens of his performance extant in England. He died in Blackfriars, about the beginning of king William's reign; and wrote a book Upon Drawing, Graving, and Etching, for which he was celebrated by his friend Thomas Flatman the poet.
