MILL, John, a very learned divine, was born at Shap in Westmoreland, about the year 1645; and be- came 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 1685 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 pub- lished about a fortnight before his death, which hap- pened in June 1727. Dr Mills was employed 30 years in preparing this edition.
