He studied at the Free School in Worcester and then at Christ Church, Oxford, receiving his B.A. in 1622 and his M.A. in 1624. He became usher of the free school of Stratford-upon-Avon in 1622 and its headmaster in 1624. He soon became a preacher at Luddington, near Stratford, before becoming vicar of Weston-on-Avon in Gloucestershire. He later served as rector of Welford-on-Avon in Gloucestershire between 1646 and 1660 and again as vicar of Weston from 1660 until his death in 1669.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Favorite Author of David Guzik We are excited to add the complete anthology of classical biblical commentator, John Trapp. His large five-volume commentary is still read today and known for being rich with biblical explanation and theological truths.
