Hill was author of:
Christs Prayer expounded, a Christian directed, and a Communicant prepared … To which is added a Preface of Prayer, a pithie Prayer for Christian Families, &., Octavo, London 1606. Hill afterwards issued a greatly enlarged edition, under the title of The Pathway to Prayer and Pietie. Containing (1) An Exposition of the Lords Prayer ….
(2) A Preparation to the Lords Supper, with Ma.
Zanchius Confession concerning that Sacrament. (3) A Direction to a Christian.
(4) An Instruction to die well, 2 pts, London 1613. To the sixth edition (5 pts, London 1615-1616) is appended Joshua Sylvester"s Elegie on the death of Margaret Hill.
The eighth edition (1629) contains The Protestation of J. White written to the end the Papists might understand he departed out of this world of the same opinion." From the plan of this manual Jeremy Taylor may have derived that of his Holy Living and Dying.
Hill translated from the Latin of William Bucanus Institvtions of Christian Religion, London, 1606, and edited William Perkins"s Godly Exposition upon the three first chapters of the Revelation, London, 1607. In the fourth part of the Workes of Richard Greenham London, 1612, is An Exposition of the 119 Psalme found unperfect and perfected by R. Hill. He also collected the posthumous sermons and lectures of Samuel Hieron, and published them in 1620 as the second volume of Hieron"s works.
Hill has Latin verses before Foulk Robartes"s The Revenue of the Gospel in Tythes, 1613.
