time, and representative in various ways, he has often since been confounded with others, e.g. Robert Abbot, See also:bishop of See also:Salisbury. He is also wrongly described as a relative of See also:Archbishop Abbot, from whom he acknowledges very gratefully, in the first of his epistles dedicatory of A See also:Hand of Fellowship to Helpe Keepe out Sinne and See also:Antichrist (1623, 4to), that he had " received all " his " worldly See also:maintenance," as well as " best earthly countenance " and " fatherly incouragements." The worldly maintenance was the presentation in 1616 to the vicarage of See also:Cranbrook in See also:Kent. He had received his See also:education at See also:Cambridge, where he proceeded M.A., and was afterwards incorporated at See also:- OXFORD

The former date carries us back to 1588–1589, or perhaps 1587–1588 —the $' See also:Armada " year—as his See also:birth-time; the latter to 1616–1617 (ut supra). In his See also:Bee Thankfull See also:London and her Sisters (1626), he describes himself as formerly "assistant to a See also:reverend divine . . . now with God," and the name on the margin is " See also:Master Haiward of See also:Wool Church (See also:Dorset)." This was doubt-less previous to his going to Cranbrook. Very remarkable and effective was Abbot's See also:ministry at Cranbrook, where his parishioners were as his own " sons and daughters " to him. Yet, Puritan though he was, he was extremely and often unfairly antagonistic to Nonconformists. He remained at Cranbrook until 1643, when, See also:Parliament deciding against pluralities of ecclesiastical offices, he See also:chose the very inferior living of See also:South-See also:wick, Hants, as between the one and the other. He afterwards succeeded the " extruded " Udall of St See also:Austin's, London, where according to the Warning-piece he was still pastor in 1657. He disappears silently between 1657–1658 and 1662. Robert Abbot's books are conspicuous amongst the productions of his time by their terseness and variety. In addition to those mentioned above he wrote See also:Milk for Babes, or a See also:Mother's See also:Catechism for her See also:Children (1646), and A See also:Christian See also:Family builded by God, or Directions for See also:Governors of Families (1653).
