An English clergyman and poet, cousin to John; born in London about 1580; died at Alderton in 1623. His only notable composition was a sacred poem entitled "Christ's Victorie and Triumph in Heaven and Earth over and after Death" (1610), rich in imagery and descriptions of natural scenery. Parts of it were utilized by Milton in his "Paradise Regained".
