His See also:education was received at See also:Morton See also:Green near See also:Congleton, See also:Cheshire, and at See also:Christ's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, where he was reckoned the best orator among the undergraduates. After taking his degree he became assistant See also:master at See also:Repton in See also:Derbyshire; after taking orders he was appointed See also:curate of See also:Norton-under-See also:Hales in See also:Shropshire. There he attracted the See also:notice of See also:Sir See also:Rowland See also:Cotton, an See also:amateur Hebraist of some distinction, who made him his domestic See also:chaplain at Bellaport. Shortly after the removal of Sir Rowland to See also:London, Lightfoot, abandoning an intention to go abroad, accepted a See also:charge at See also:- STONE
- STONE (0. Eng. shin; the word is common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Stein, Du. steen, Dan. and Swed. sten; the root is also seen in Gr. aria, pebble)

Stone in Staffordshire, where he continued for about two years.

His first published See also:work, entitled Erubhin, or Miscellanies, See also:Christian and Judaical, penned for recreation at vacant See also:hours, and dedicated to Sir R. Cotton, appeared at London in 1629. In See also:September 163o he was presented by Sir R. Cotton to the rectory of See also:Ashley in Staffordshire, where he remained until See also:June, 1642, when he went to London, probably to superintend the publication of his next work, A Few and New Observations upon the See also:Book of See also:Genesis: the most of them certain; the See also:rest, probable; all, harmless, See also:strange and rarely heard of before, which appeared at London in that See also:year. Soon after his arrival in London he became See also:minister of St See also:Bartholomew's See also:- CHURCH

It was published under the See also:title of See also:Elias Redivivus, the See also:text being See also:Luke i. 17; in it a parallel is See also: drawn between the Baptist's See also:ministry and the work of See also:reformation which in the preacher's See also:judgment was See also:incumbent on the See also:parliament of his own See also:day.

He was assiduous in his attendance, and, though frequently See also:standing almost or quite alone, especiallyin the Erastian controversy, he exercised a material See also:influence on the result of the discussions of the Assembly. In 1643 See also:Light-See also:foot published A Handful of Gleanings out of the Book of See also:Exodus, and in the same year he was made master of Catharine See also:- HALL

In 1644 was published in London the first See also:instalment of the laborious but never completed work of which the full title runs The See also:Harmony of the Four Evangelists among themselves, and with the Old Testament, with an explanation of the chiefest difficulties both in See also:Language and Sense: See also:Part I.

On the 26th of See also:August 1645 he again preached before the House of Commons on the day of their monthly fast. His text was Rev. xx. 1, 2. After controverting the See also:doctrine of the Millenaries, he urged various See also:practical suggestions for the repression with a strong See also:hand of current blasphemies, for a thorough revision of the authorized version of the Scriptures, for the encouragement of a learned ministry, and fora speedy See also:settlement of the church. In the same year appeared A Commentary upon the Acts of the Apostles, chronical and See also:critical; the Difficulties of the text explained, and the times of the See also:Story See also:cast into See also:annals.

Order of the Old Testament, which was followed in 1655 by The Harmony, Chronicle, and Order of the New Testament, inscribed to See also:Cromwell. In 1654 Lightfoot had been chosen See also:vice-See also:chancellor of the university of Cambridge, but continued to reside by preference at Munden, in the rectory of which, as well as in the mastership of Catharine Hall, he was confirmed at the Restoration. The See also:remainder of his See also:life was devoted to helping See also:Brian See also:Walton with the Polyglot See also:Bible (1657) and to his own best-known work, the Horae Hebraicae et Talmudicae, in which the volume See also:relating to See also:Matthew appeared in 1658, that relating to See also:Mark in 1663, and those relating to 1 See also:Corinthians, John and Luke, in 1664, 1671 and 1674 respectively.
