a Scottish prelate, was a parochial minister, of the family of Barns, born in 1614, and became chaplain to the great earl of Traquair. He had a rectory in Kent; but was expelled from it, upon the score of loyalty, in 1650. After this he went to England and served king Charles II, becoming chaplain to general Rutherford, earl of Teviot.
