MILL, JOHN, a very learned divine, was born at Shap in Westmorland, about the year 1645; and became a servitor of Queen's college, Oxford. On his entering into orders he became an eminent preacher, and was made prebendary of Exeter. In 1681, he was created doctor of divinity; about the same time he was made chaplain in ordinary to King Charles II. and in 1683, he was elected principal of St Edmund's hall in Oxford. His edition of the Greek Testament, which will ever render his name memorable, was published about a fortnight before his death, which happened in June 1707. Dr Mills was employed 30 years in preparing this edition.
