BALLIOLENSIS will find an account of "William Sclater," whom he rightly
supposes to have been at Eton and King's, in Harwood's _Alumni Etonensis_,
p. 200., under the year 1593, 35 Eliz. He will there see that he died 1627,
in the fifty-first year of his age, and was the author of _Comment on the
Romans and Thessalonians_; _Sermons at St. Paul's Cross_; and the _Treatise
on Tithes_, styled _The Minister's Portion_.
Under 1598 occurs "John Sclater." From a MS. account it is stated, "John
Sclater, B.D., 1613, Rector of Holford, Somerset; then of Church Lawford,
Warwick. (See _Dugdale_.) Query, If ejected 1662? if so, his farewell
sermon in Collection A." (See too _Harwood_, p. 203.)
Under 1626 occurs "William Sclater," at p. 227. of _Harwood_, probably a
mistake for 1625. In MS. under 1625 appears "William Sclater, son of W. S.
of 1593, of Pitminster, Somerset, where his father was V.; R. of St.
Steph., Exon.; D.D. 1651; Minister of St. Peter le Poor, Broad Street. (See
_Engl. Worth._, 8vo., p. 21.) Pr. of Exon., Sept. 18, 1641. (See _Walker_,
ob. 1656. See _Wood_.)"
Edward Kellet occurs in _Harwood_ under 1598, {520} p. 204. The account of
his works given there agrees with the extract from the _Gentleman's
Magazine_. It is also stated that he was the author of a sermon entitled _A
Return from Argier, preached at Minehead, March 16, 1627, on the
Re-admission of a relapsed Christian into our Church, on Gal._ v. 2.:
London, 1628, 4to, and that he was a sufferer from the rebellion. In
Harwood he is described as Rector of Bagborough and Crocombe, and Canon of
Exeter. The MS. account is very short. He is there described as "R. of
Rowbarrow, Som.; Can. of Exon.--See his works in _Wood_."
