Heylin (or Heylyn), Peter, was born Nov. 29, 1600, at Burford, Oxfordshire. At fourteen he entered Hart Hall, Oxford, and within two years was chosen demy of Magdalen College. Here he devoted himself to science, particularly to geography, on which he -vvrote a treatise entitled Microcosmus, wliich gained him great repvitation. In 1623 he was ordained, and about 1625 undertook an academical exercise at Oxford, where he fell into a dispute with Prideaux, then regius professor of divinity. He maintained the visibiUty and infalli- bility of the catholic Church (not the Eoman), and raised a storm wliich lasted for a long time in the University. His doctrines recommended lam to the notice of Laud, then bishop of Bath and Wells. In 1628 he became chaplain to lord Danby, and, some time after, king's chap- lain. He obtained various livings and clerical offices through the patronage of Laud, from which he was ex- pelled by the Republicans ; was the editorof the J/ercw- rius Aulicus, the Royalist paper; recovered his prefer- ments at the Restoration ; and died jMay 8, 1G62. Hey- lin was a fierce controversialist, and a bitter opponent of the Piuritaus, and through these quaUties he obtained his various rapid preferments. He even went so far in liis opposition to Puritanism as to >\Tite a History of the Salhath, vindicating the employment of the leisure hours and evenings of the Lord's day in sports and recreations. In theology he was an Arminian of the latitudinarian sort (see his Ilistoria Quinq-A rticularis, 1659). His Ex- amen Ilistoricum contained an attack on Thomas Fidler which brought on a bitter controversy with that emi- nent writer. He wrote The History of St. George and of the Order of the Garter (2d edit. Lond. 1633, 4to):— Ecclesia Restaurata : the History of the English Refor- mation (1674, foL ; new edit, by Robertson, Lond. 1849, 2 vols. 8vo) -.—Sermons (London, 1659, 4to) -.—Life of A bp. Laud (Lond. 1647, fol. ; several editions) : — ^Erius Re- divivus, a History of the Presbyterians (2d edit. London, 1672, fol.) : — Theologia Veterum, on the Apostles' Creed (Lond. 1673, fol.) ; with many controversial tracts, etc. His life is prefixed to the Ecclesia Restawata (edit, of 1849).
