Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GATAKER, THOMAS (1574-1654) ,
English
  divine, was born in London in September 1574, and educated at St John's College,
Cambridge
 . From 16ox to 1611 he held the appointment .of preacher to the society of Lincoln's Inn, which he resigned on accepting the rectory of Rotherhithe. In 1642 he was chosen a member of the assembly of divines at Westminster, and annotated for that assembly the books of
Isaiah
 , Jeremiah and Lamentations. He disapproved of the introduction of the
Covenant
 , and declared himself in favour of episcopacy. He was one of the
forty
 -seven London clergymen who disapproved of thetrial of Charles I. He was married four times, and died in July 1654.
His
principal
  works, besides some volumes of sermons areOn the Nature and Use of Lots (1619), a curious treatise which led to his being accused of favouring
games
  of chance; Dissertatio de stylo Novi Testamenti (1648) ; Cinnus, sive Adversaria miscellanea, in quibus Sacrae Scripturac primo, delude aliorurn scriptorum, locis aliquam multis lux redditur (1651), to which was afterwards sub-joined Adversaria Posthuma; and his edition of Marcus Antoninus (1652), which, according to Hallam, is the " earliest edition of any classical writer published in England with
original
  annotations," and, for the period at which it was written, possesses remarkable merit. His collected works were published at
Utrecht
  in 1698.
