Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRADY, NICHOLAS (1659-1726) , Anglican divine and poet, was born at
Bandon
 , Co.
Cork
 , on the 28th of October 1659. He received his education at Westminster school, and at Christ
Church
 ,
Oxford
 ; but he graduated at Trinity College, Dublin. He took orders, and in 1688 was made a prebendary of
Cork
 . He was a zealous promoter of the Revolution and suffered in consequence. When the troubles broke out in Ireland in 1690,
Brady
 , by his influence, thrice prevented the burning of the town of
Bandon
 , after James II. had given orders for its destruction; and the same year he was employed by the people of Bandon to lay their grievances before the English
parliament
 . He soon afterwards settled in London, where he obtained various pre-ferments. At the time of his death, on the 20th of May 1726, he held the livings of Clapham and Richmond.
Brady
 's best-known
work
  is his metrical version of the Psalms, in which Nahum Tate collaborated with him. It was licensed in 1696, and largely ousted the old version of T. Sternhold and J.
Hopkins
 . He also translated Virgil's Aeneid, and wrote several smaller poems and dramas, as well as sermons.
