Thomas Master

Thomas Master (1603 – 31 August 1643) was an English poet and divine. He also assisted Edward Herbert, Baron Herbert of Cherbury, in his writing of the Life of Henry VIII. He translated Herbert's work into Latin.

He was born in 1603 at Cote, Gloucestershire, the son of William Master, the rector of Cote, and educated at Cirencester Grammar School and Winchester College. There he obtained a scholarship to New College, Oxford, where he became a perpetual fellow in 1624, and graduated B. A. in 1625, M.A. 1629, and B.D. in 1640/1. After 1629, he was ordained and in 1637 became rector of Wykeham, Lincolnshire.

He assisted Edward Herbert in collecting materials for his 'Life of Henry VIII' and in turning this and other of Herbert's works into Latin. He died near Louth in 1643 and was buried in the outer chapel of New College.
