Bois, John, D.D.
Bois, John, D.D.
an English prelate, was descended from an ancient family in Kent. He was educated fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge; was preferred dean of Canterbury; became famous for his postils in defence of the Anglican liturgy, and died about 1625. His life was pious, though a great prelate in the Church did bear him no great good-will for mutual animosities between them, while gremiais in the university; the reason perchance he got no higher preferment. See Fuller, Worthies of England (ed. Nuttall), 2, 155.
