John, an English poet, was secretary to Queen Mary, the wife of James II., and followed the fortunes of his abdicated master, by whom he was rewarded with the honorary titles of Earl Caryl and Baron Dartford. He was in England in the reign of Queen Anne, and recommended the subject of the Rape of the Lock to Pope, who dedicated it to him. The last of his works, which consisted of a translation of the Psalms, was published in 1700; and he was still alive in 1717.

Joseph, a nonconformist divine (1602-1673), was educated at Oxford, and held for some time the office of preacher to the society of Lincoln's Inn. He frequently preached before the long parliament, and held several important offices among the nonconformist clergy. He was a licenser of their theological books, one of the assembly of divines, and one of the board for the approbation of ministers. On the restoration of Charles II. he was silenced by the Act of Uniformity, but continued to preach privately in London, where, besides other works, he wrote an *Exposition of the Book of Job*.
