| High Church theologian, born in London, UK. He studied at Oxford, was ordained in 1658, and in 1660 was appointed public orator of Oxford. His vigorous sermons, full of mockery of the Puritans, delighted the restored Royalists. He became domestic chaplain to Clarendon, prebendary of Westminster in 1663, canon of Christ Church in 1670, and rector of Islip in 1678, but his outspokenness prevented any further preferment. |
