We have no particulars
regarding this friendship, but they were both 'wits' and their poems
figure together in MS. collections. Ben Jonson was an intimate of

He was incorporated at Oxford in 1628, where he took the degree of
D. D. in 1636. On the 8th of December, 1630, he was appointed Rector
of Deptford. He was either ejected under the Commonwealth or died, for

I am indebted to the _Biographical Register of Christ's College,
1505-1905, &c. , compiled by John Peile . . . Master of the College_,
1910. Of works by him the British Museum Catalogue contains _Foure
Sea-Sermons preached at the annual meeting of the Trinitie Companie in
the Parish Church of Deptford_, London, 1635, and _Private devotions,
digested into six litanies . . . Seven and twentieth edition_, London,
1706. The last was first published in 1651.
Izaak Walton's _Elegie_ underwent a good deal of revision.
