-
An English theologian; born at Reading, Oct. 7, 1573; died at London, Jan. 10, 1645. He was an uncompromising upholder of High-Church principles, and exerted all the powers of his high office for the repression of Puritanism. He was brought to trial in the House of Lords on the charge of high treason, Nov. 13, 1643, and was beheaded Jan. 10 following. His writings are but few; his "Diary" (1695), and his letters, are of value for the history of his time.
