Author of a complete Christian Dictionary, a work which went through several editions, and was the first example in English of a Bible Concordance, was a Kentish man, though the place of his birth is uncertain. He became minister of St. George's Church, Canterbury, one of the Six Preachers of that City, and chaplain to Lord Wotton.
