JOHN (1643-1737).-Ecclesiastical historian, _b._ at Hackney, and _ed._ at St. Paul's School and Camb., took orders and, among other livings, held the Rectory of Low Leyton, Essex, for upwards of 60 years. He made a large collection of original documents, chiefly relating to the Tudor period, and was a voluminous author. Among his works are _Memorials of Archbishop Cranmer_ (1694), _Life of Sir Thomas Smith_, _Secretary of State to Edward VI. and Elizabeth_ (1698), _Annals of the Reformation_ (1709-31), and _Ecclesiastical Memorials_ (1721); besides Lives of Bishop Aylmer and Archbishops Grindal, Parker, and Whitgift. S., who was a painstaking and honest, but dull and unmethodical, writer, remains an authority.
