(c. 1498 - July 20, 1567) was an English Roman Catholic priest, known as the author of a standard logic text.
[4] After being ordained priest, Seton became one of Bishop John Fisher's chaplains, and attended him the Tower of London.
He was one of the doctors of divinity who, by the direction of Bishop Gardiner, went to Oxford for the disputation with Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, and Hugh Latimer, concerning matters of religion, and on this occasion he was incorporated D.D.
[1] In 1555 Seton visited the Protestant John Bradford in prison, for the purpose of inducing him to recant; in 1558 he attended Thomas Benbridge on the same mission.
Seton's name was on a list of Catholic clergy drawn up in 1561, described as learned but settled in papistry, and as having been ordered to remain within the City of London, or with twenty miles of it.
