Venn: Matric. sizar from St John's, Easter, 1587; B.A. c. 1600; B.D. 1619. Incorp. at Oxford, 1619, as B.D. R. of Aston-in-the-Wall, Northants., 1612. Buried there Feb. 5, 1627-8. Perhaps identical with the translator and poet of these names. (There was a Chris. Middelton matric. from Brasenose, Oxford, Dec. 12, 1580, age 20, whom Al. Oxon. identifies with the above.) (D.N.B.)
