or an English Roman Catholic theologian, was born at London in 1575. He studied at St. John's College, Oxford, where he roomed with Laud, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury. Having turned Roman Catholic, he went to Spain, completed his studies at the University of Compostello, and became a Benedictine under the name of Leander a Sancto-Martino. After teaching for a while Hebrew and theology in the College of St. Vedast, he returned to England at the invitation of Laud, and died at London, Dec. 17, 1636. He wrote Sacra Alrs Memorioe, ad Scripturas divinas in promptu habendas accomodata (Douay, 1623, 8vo): — Conciliatio locorum communium totius Scripturoe (Douay, 1623, 8vo).
