Book Description

Excerpt from The Works of Roger Hutchinson Few incidents in the life of the author of the following pages have been recorded. Some peculiar words which occur in his works would have led to the inference that he was one of the many champions for religious truth which, at the period of the Reformation, were sent forth by the northern counties of England; and that inference would have been a little strengthened by the circumstance that one of the witnesses to his will is, "John Hutchenson at Roklyf: " but Bale has stated, that he was a native of Hertfordshire. Bale however gives no authority, and as our author was connected with Rickmansworth in that county at one period of his life, that circumstance may have led to Bale's statement. He himself has told us, that his father's name was William Hutchinson; but where he resided, or when, or where, our author was born, does not appear. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, "the chief nursery in those times of the favourers of true religion and solid learning;" and was contemporary there with Cheke, Ascham, Cecill, Lever, Grindal, Sandys, Pilkington, and other eminent men.
