Lowth, Simon

Lowth, Simon D.D., an English non-juring divine, was born in Northamptonshire about 1630. In 1679 we find him vicar of St. Cosmus, a position of which he was deprived in 1688. He died in 1720. Dr. Simon Lowth published Historical Collections concerning Ch. Affairs (Lond. 1696, 4to), besides several theological treatises (1672-1704). See Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer.
