Thomas Mason (clergyman)
Thomas Mason (1580–1619?) was an English clergyman and writer.
==Life==
On his own account, he was the grandson of Sir John Mason. Mason was admitted at Magdalen College, Oxford, on 29 November 1594, matriculated on 7 January 1595.
He may not have graduated; there is possible confusion with another Thomas Mason at Magdalen of the period.
From 1614 to 1619, Mason held the vicarage of Odiham in Hampshire, and probably died around 1620. On 13 April 1621 his widow, Helen Mason, obtained a license for twenty-one years to reprint his version of ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs'' for the benefit of herself and her children.〔Thomas Rymer, ''Foedera'' vol. 17 (1717), p. 294; (Google Books ).〕 Its dedications to George Abbot and Sir Edward Coke probably proved their value in getting this protection, for a book that reflected typical political prejudices of the time after the Gunpowder Plot.〔John N. King, ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs and Early Modern Print Culture'' (2006), p. 144, (Google Books ).〕 About ten years later Helen Mason's attempt to stretch the monopoly to cover a new abridgement of Foxe's work ran into a legal rebuff.〔King, p. 147, (Google Books ).〕
