This article appears in Volume V16, Page 396 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LEIGH, EDWARD (16021671) , English Puritan and theologian, was born at Shawell, Leicestershire. He was educated at Magdalen
Hall
 , Oxford, from 1616, and subsequently became a member of the Middle Temple. In 1636 he entered
parliament
  as member for Stafford, and during the Civil War held a colonelcy in the parliamentary army. He has sometimes been confounded with John Ley (15831662), and so represented as having sat in the Westminster Assembly. The public career of Leigh terminated with his expulsion from
parliament
  with the rest of the Presbyterian party in 1648. From an early age he had studied theology and produced numerous compilations, the most important being the Critica Sacra, containing Observations on all the Radices of the Hebrew Words of the Old and the Greek of the New Testament (16391644; new ed., with supplement, 1662), for which the author received the thanks of the Westminster Assembly, to whom it was dedicated. His other works include Select and Choice Observations concerning the First Twelve Caesars (1635); A Treatise of Divinity (16461651); Annotations upon the New Testament (165o), of which a Latin translation by
Arnold
  was published at
Leipzig
  in 1732; A
Body
  of Divinity (1654); A Treatise of Religion and Learning (1656) ; Annotations of the Five Poetical Books of the Old Testament (1657). Leigh died in Staffordshire in June 1671.
