CHUB, /, [from cop, a great head, Skinner. A river 
fifh. See Cyprinus. 
CHUBB (Thomas), a celebrated polemical writer, born 
at Eaft Harnham, near Salifbury, in 1679. Being a man 
of flrong natural parts, he employed all his leifure in 
reading; and, though a Itranger to the learned languages, 
became tolerably verfed in geography, mathematics, and 
other branches of fcience. His favourite ftudy was divi¬ 
nity; and he formed a little fociety for the purpofe of 
debating upon religious fubje&s, about the time that the 
Trinitarian controverfy was fo warmly agitated between 
Clarke and Waterland. This fubjedt, therefore, falling 
under the cognizance of Chubb’s theological aiTembly, 
he at their requeft drew up and arranged his fentiments 
on it, in a kind of differtation, which was afterwards 
publiflied under the title of “ The Supremacy of the Fa¬ 
ther a (her ted,” &c. In this piece Mr. Chubb (hewed great 
talents in reafoning, and acquired fo much reputation, 
that fir Jofeph Jekyll, mailer of the rolls, took him into 
his family to enjoy his converfation; but, though he is 
faicl to have had a genteel allowance, he did not continue 
with him many years, but chofe to return to his friends 
at Salifbury. He publiflied a quarto volume of tradls, 
which Mr. Pope informs his friend Gay, he “ read 
through with admiration of the writer, though not al¬ 
ways with approbation of his dodlrine.” He died a fingle 
man, in the fixty-eighth year of his age; and left behind 
him two volumes of pofthumous trails, in which he ap¬ 
pears to have had little or no belief in revelation. But, 
however licentious his way of thinking may be deemed, 
nothing irregular or immoral has been imputed to him in 
his life and adlions.
