(Dr Henry), an eminent nonconformist divine, who, about the year 1590, distinguished himself among the Brownists; which drew upon him such troubles 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 several other works.

(Robert), born at Woodyale in Lancashire in 1660, was master of a boarding-school at Bethnal-green, from whence he removed to Hackney, and to other places in the neighbourhood of London. After acquiring a moderate fortune, he retired, and lived privately till the time of his death, which happened in 1743. We are indebted to him for the best Latin and English Dictionary extant: he published it in quarto 1735; and in 1752, the fourth edition, under the care of Doctor Ward of Gresham College, and the Rev. William Younge, was enlarged to two vols folio.
