The son of William Newlin, rector of St. Swithin's, Winchester, he was baptised there 29 October 1688.
While his general reputation was apparently good, he had a critic in Thomas Hearne, who said "if he would not print he might pass for a tolerable preacher".
[1] Newlin died 24 February 1743, and was buried at Beeding on 11 March (according to the register; perhaps 2nd is meant).
An epitaph records his defence of the constitution and liturgy of the church of England, and other virtues.
[2] Newlin married Susanna, daughter of Martin and Sarah Powell of Oxford (died 18 September 1732).
