Venn: Matric. pens, from PEMBROKE, Easter, 1575. S. of John, yeoman and rope maker, of Saffron Walden. Bapt. there, Apr. 15, 1560. School, Saffron Walden. B.A. 1577-8; M.A. 1581. Fellow. Ord. deacon and priest Peterb.) Dec. 12, 1585. R. of Chislehurst, Kent, 1586-1631. Author, astrological, theological, etc. Died 1631. Will (Consist. C. Rochester). Left his estate to his brother Gabriel. Brother of Gabriel (1566) and John (1578). (D.N.B.; Cooper, II. 282; H. G. Harrison.)
Probably the incumbent of Wouldham and Chislehurst are one and the same, since Harvey has a dispensation in 1605.
One puzzle is that he appears to have been collated twice (1586, 1596) to the same living.
