The only son of the poet, was born (if the authority of a manuscript
in the Harleian collection may be relied upon, in which this pathetic
address appears,) on the 10th of November, 1627. From the following
injunction in the bishop’s will[79], it seems he was educated at one
of the universities: “I commit and commend the nurture and maintenance
of my sonne and daughter unto the faythfull and loving care of my
mother-in-law, declaring my intent, &c., that my sonne be placed at
Oxford or Cambridge, where I require him, upon my blessing, to apply
himself to his booke studiously and industriously.”
In 1648 he administered to the will[80] of his grandmother Anne Hutton;
and of the further circumstances of his life I am ignorant.
