Though he is said to have taken no degree, Cole has identified him with the Eusebius Paget who matriculated at Christ's College, Cambridge, on 22 February 1564, and commenced B.A.
He subscribed Thomas Cartwright's book of discipline (1574), and with John Oxenbridge, B.D., was arrested and taken to London by order from Archbishop Edmund Grindal, for taking a leading part in the presbyterian associations of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.
He told the patron and the bishop (presumed to be John Wolton, elected 2 July 1579) that he could not conform in all points, and was admitted and inducted on this understanding.
Towards the end of 1584 articles of accusation, founded on his preaching, were exhibited against him before the high commission by Farmer, curate of Barnstaple, Devon.
On 3 June 1591 he addressed an appeal to Sir John Hawkins, who had previously shown himself a friend, asking his intercession with Elizabeth.
On 21 September 1604 he obtained the rectory of St. Anne and St. Agnes, Aldersgate Street, London, which he held till his death.
