(Van Leyden), an excellent painter and engraver, was thus named from the place of his birth, he being born in Leyden in 1494. He was at first a disciple of his father, a painter of some eminence, and afterwards of Cornelius Engelbert; and was greatly admired in the Netherlands for his skill in painting and engraving. He took much pains with his works, and was a great emulator of Albert Durer; with whom he at length became so intimate, that they drew each other's pictures; and indeed their style and manner have in all respects so close a resemblance, that it seems as if they had been both animated with the same soul. He lived and died with great magnificence; and died in the year 1533.

(Richard), D.D. a learned English divine, was born in 1648, and studied at Oxford; after which he entered into holy orders, and was for some time master of the free school at Abergavenny.

A Latin translation of the whole duty of man. He died in 1715.
