Biography

A minor MP assessor often confused with Francis Rouse in older records.

Role at the Assembly

Lay Assessor — House of Commons

Parliament seated lay assessors alongside the divines to represent its interest and keep it informed of the Assembly's progress. The ordinance of 1643 named thirty members of the House of Commons as assessors; they could take part in debate but were not among the voting divines, and their attendance was often occasional as the war and parliamentary business pressed on them.
