 §3. Herbert Thorndike, John Cosin and George Morley. XII. Divines of the Church of England 1660–1700. Vol. 8. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
John Cosin, who, born in 1594, died in the same year as Thorndike (1672), was also a liturgiologist, and, as early as 1627, published A Collection of Private Devotions, at the request of Charles I, to supply an English antidote to the Roman devotions of queen Henrietta Maria’s ladies.
Cosin, in many respects, resembles Thorndike: in the nature of his interests, in the main principles of his theology, in the character of his influence.
Thorndike was a prebendary of Westminster; Cosin, chaplain to Charles I and master of Peterhouse, became bishop of Durham under Charles II; Morley died as bishop of Winchester.

But Agnes, an aunt of John and Sarah, married a Joseph Thomas and had sons Thomas and William, of whom Thomas is said in another family account to have emigrated to Sydney and to have married the daughter of a wealthy sheep farmer and inherited the farm.
She would not have seen John since he was a boy, and his eccentric spelling and punctuation must have reinforced any impression that Tasmania was a hard, uncultured and overwhelmingly male environment.
The neat copperplate hand in which the letter is written suggests some care over John's schooling, but the spelling and style of the letter contrasts sharply to that in a surviving fragment of a domestic note to Sarah, presumed to be written by her brother.

Subsequently, in 1643 Bishop Morton appointed Basire to the seventh prebendary stall in Durham Cathedral, and in 1644 to the archdeaconry of Northumberland with the rectory of Howick annexed.
Cosin reinstated Basire in his former offices as rector of Egglescliffe, prebendary of Durham, and archdeacon of Northumberland.
Basire, who shared most of John Cosin's theological views, would have agreed with Cosin that the Church of England, of all the reformed churches, is "both for doctrine and discipline, the most eminent, and the most pure, the most agreeable to Scripture and antiquity of all others".

John Scott's examination of The Christian Life was published in several volumes and parts; in all, it received at least 28 editions.[37] Scott was a prebendary of St. Paul's from 1684 to 1695 and also held several rectories in the City.
John Preston, a prebendary of Lincoln from 1610 until his death in 1628, left a number of tracts, treatises, and sermons, a few of which ran through eight or nine editions.[38] Some of Preston's popular writings promote Puritan views, while others concentrate on Christ's humanity and human longing for him.
John Cosin is best known as the Restoration bishop of Durham, but he was a prebendary of Durham as early as 1624 and was appointed dean of Peterborough in 1640.

 GENUKI/Devon: Cruwys Morchard: Will of John Cruse 1577
John CRUSE or CRUWYS was the son of John CRUWYS of Cruwys Morchard and Alice AYSHFORD of Ayshford in Burlescombe.
John succeeded his father as Lord of the Manor of Cruwys Morchard and Great Rackenford in 1559 and was also patron of the living of both parishes.
John's second son Thomas had also undoubtedly married by this time for the Winkleigh registers record the marriages of Marie CRUSE in 1593, Hannibal CRUSE in 1597 and Alexander CRUSE in 1603, who are all presumably Thomas's children and would therefore have been born in the 1570s.

Also sometimes known as Bibliotheca Episcopalis Dunelmensis, it was founded in 1669 by John Cosin (1595-1672) as an endowed public library for local clergy and people of scholarly interests, and is still housed in its original specially erected building.

There are c.600 items in French, mostly pamphlets of religious controversy from the period of Cosin's exile in Paris, 1644-60, a considerable number not in the Bibliothèque Nationale.

John Cosin was rector of Brancepeth from 1626 to 1640, and became Bishop of Durham after the Restoration of Charles II.
Cosin was a devotee of High Medieval style, and the furnishings at Brancepeth were marked by an unusual combination of Jacobean elements with 14th and 15th century pastiche.
This has been taken to suggest that Cosin planned to turn Brancepeth into his own mausoleum, although in the end he was buried at Bishop Auckland, according to freelance buildings archaeologist Peter Ryder who made an assessment of the church shortly before the fire.

John was perhaps about ten years old when he was sent with his elder brother, William, to the small grammar school run by Edward Sylvester in a house in the parish of All Saints, Oxford.
John and William would have watched disputations in their first two years but in the latter part of the course they would have taken part in them.
John Alsop, the rector since 1633, and also a chaplain to Archbishop Laud (who was now in the Tower of London) was sequestered because of his desertion of the parish.

I do not say that John Wesley was conscious of all of these things as he sat listening to the chanting of the Psalms in St. Paul's Cathedral on May 24.

Cosin's arms occur twice more, on the wall of the great tower of the Black Staircase, which juts into the north-western angle of the Courtyard at the end of the Great Hall.
He was assisted by John Cosin, then one of the Canons, and afterwards Bishop of Durham, who is a distinguished figure even in the long list of distinguished men who have held the See.
From John Cosin, the first Bishop after the restoration of the monarchy (1660- 72) to William van Mildert (1826-36), most of the Bishops seemed determined to make the old and often shaky buildings a more worthy reflection of the high status and enormous wealth of the office.

The work of Andrewes and Cosin was in the form of notes which are invaluable as a source of information on the spirit in which the first half of the seventeenth century interpreted the Prayer Book.
Cosin approved of the rubric on the ground that singing enhanced the dignity of the service and helped the devotion of the congregation; but he makes no reference directly to the practice of singing the Epistle and Gospel.
