SEBASTIAN, an eminent divine of the 17th century, was born in 1559, at Prestonbury in Gloucestershire, and educated at Corpus Christi college in Oxford. In 1608 he took the degree of doctor in divinity, and five years after was chosen Margaret professor in that university. He had been presented several years before to the rectory of Meyley-Hampton, in Gloucestershire. He published Commentaries upon the first, second, and third chapters of Amos; a considerable number of sermons; and some Latin treatises. He died in 1630.
