GERVASE, bishop of Worcester, was born, according to Fuller, in Nottinghamshire; but in what year is uncertain. He died in 1610. All the historians who have mentioned this prelate give him the character of a learned and pious man. His works, consisting of Notes upon the Pentateuch, an Exposition of the Creed, &c., were printed both in folio and quarto in 1615, and again in folio in 1637.
