Archbishop of Cantcrbui'y. He was born in Sowcrby, in Yorkshire, in 1630, the son of a clothier, who was a zealous Independent. He was educated at Clare Hall, Cambridge. He was a preacher in 1061 — attached apparently to the Presbyterian party in the Church of England, for at the Sa- voy Conference (q.v. ) he was present as an au- ditor on the Presbyterian side ; but he submitted at once to the Act of Uniformitj' (1662), and in 1663 he was appointed to the rectory of Ked- dington in Suflolk, and almost immediately after was chosen preacher at Lincoln's Inn.
