Al. Oxon.:

Spence, Abraham, pleb. St. John's Coll., matric. 20 Feb., 1648-9, B.A. 4 March, 1651-2; rector of Husbands Bosworth 1660, and of Market Bosworth, co. Leicester, 1668-71. See Foster's Index Eccl.

State papers:

Certificate by Herbert, Bishop of Hereford, that Abraham Spence of Market Bosworth, co. Leicester, is fit to receive a presentation to the rectory there, which he desires from his Majesty in pleno jure, though he has enjoyed it several years by the presentation of the patron, and defeated several suits at law brought against him. —[1]

A bit of poking around in FamilySearch has identified an Abraham Spence born 1630, possibly the same individual.
