Career
Educated at Winchester School, he became fellow of New College, Oxford (1560–1572). In 1575 he made a public recantation in Rome, and two years later went to Douai to study for the priesthood. He removed with the other collegians from Douai to Reims in 1578 and was ordained priest at Châlons in April, 1580.
He then remained at the college, lecturing on Scripture and Hebrew, and helping Gregory Martin in translating the Reims Testament.
Some years before his death he had left the college to become chaplain to the Beguines at Antwerp.
