MILL, John, a very learned divine, was born at Shap in Westmoreland, 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 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 published about a fortnight before his death, which happened in June 1707. Dr Mills was employed 30 years in preparing this edition.
