Other note

Born around Oxford to unknown parents, ca. 1603. Matriculated from Christ Church College, Oxford, 16 March 1621; BA, 1622; MA, 1625. Earned reputation as Greek scholar and poet. Vicar of Woodhorn, Northumberland, 1630; rector of Whitburn, co. Durham, 1631; rector of Washington, Durham, 1640. Prebendary of Fenton, York Cathedral in 1641, then of Preston at Salisbury Cathedral in 1645; collated to Durham Cathedral in 1649. That year parliament sequestered his preferments, but he already fled to Ireland in 1644, and by 1649 had opened a school in Dublin. At the Restoration, he petitioned for the restoration of his livings and regained the Washington rectory. Resigned in 1662 to open a school at Hayes, Middlesex. Died 18 July 1670.
