(John), a learned divine, born in 1653, was descended from an ancient family in the North-riding of Yorkshire, bred in Edmund-Hall Oxford, and elected fellow of Lincoln-college. In 1675, he went into orders; but after the revolution was deprived of his living, on account of his refusal to take the oaths to King William and Queen Mary. He died of consumption in 1695. He published several works, which were collected and reprinted together in 1718, in 2 vols folio. He was a man of great candour, meekness, piety, and charity.
