Born in Lancashire, son of Richard Bowle, auditor to the Earl of Bedford. BA Trinity College, Cambridge 1598, MA 1601, BD 1608, DD 1613.

Books

Bowle directed, in his will, that his brother in law Robert Coppin should receive “my Bible with the name of Richard Bowle stamped and guilded on the corners which I commonly used in the pulpit at Bradfield”, and that “all my written paper bookes and writings that conteyne my observations collections and practise in divinitie” should go to his friend John Mountford, prebendary of St Paul’s. The rest of his books were to be sold, with the proceeds used by his executors to pay his funeral costs, “and buy such blacke as I shall direct to be given to my kindred friends and servants”. The size of his library is not known.

Characteristic Markings

None of Bowle’s books have been traced.
