John Viccars (1604–1653?) was an English linguist and biblical scholar. ==Life== The elder son of Gregory Viccars of Treswell in Nottinghamshire, he was baptised at there on 30 October 1604; his sister Helen was the wife of the dramatist William Sampson. He was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1622. He was incorporated B.A. at Oxford on 24 February 1625, graduated M.A. at Lincoln College on 28 March 1625, and was incorporated M.A. at Cambridge the same year. In 1627 Viccars became vicar of St Mary's Church, Stamford; but in 1628 some of the congregation accused him of heresy. Brought before the Court of High Commission in 1631, he was defrocked, fined and imprisoned. In 1635 he recanted, and re-entered the ministry.〔 He went abroad, on scholarly travels. In 1640 Viccars was presented to the rectory of South Fambridge in Essex. He held it until 1646, when he was sequestered by the Westminster Assembly of divines.〔 Viccars is mentioned in connection with Brian Walton's ''London Polyglot'' in 1652, but not subsequently. He may therefore have died around 1653.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Viccars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
