" Satire's my weapon." 



He was the son of a keeper near Norwich, and 

 was born in Bristow Park, in the parish of Ashby- 

 de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and was educated at 

 Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and became a 

 Fellow there in 1595. He considered himself to be 

 the best English satirist, and wrote : — 



" I first adventure ; follow me who list, 

 And be the second English Satirist." 



Hall has often been called '* The Christian " ; 

 or, "Our English Seneca." Appointed Dean of 

 Worcester, and in 1627 promoted to be Bishop 

 of Exeter, he was transferred, in 1641, to Nor- 

 wich. He is said to have written his finest dis- 

 courses at Worcester. He was a Calvinist and a 

 decided Low Churchman. Among other works.
