He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, but moved to Merton, where he obtained a fellowship. In 1631 he was proctor and also chaplain to Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke, then chancellor of the university, which gave him the rectory of Bishopston in Wiltshire.
He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, but migrated to Merton, where he obtained a fellowship.
His fame spread, and in 1641 he was appointed chaplain and tutor to Prince Charles.
He next joined the duke of York (James II. )
at Paris, returning to England at the Restoration.
He was at once appointed dean of Westminster, and in 1661 was one of the commissioners for revising the liturgy.
He was strongly opposed to the Conventicle and Five Mile Acts.
Earle's chief title to remembrance is his witty and humorous work entitled Microcosmographie, or a Peece of the World discovered, in Essayes and Characters, which throws light on the manners of the time.
Several reprints of the book have been issued since the author's death; and in 1671 a French translation by J. Dymock appeared with the title of Le Vice ridicule.
Earle was employed by Charles II to make the Latin translation of the Eikon Basilike, published in 1649.
