Biographers
His life was to have been written by Farindon; but Farindon died before the issue of the Golden Remains, to which his contribution is a letter to Garthwait the publisher. It is said that John Pearson was asked to take up Farindon's task; but he contented himself by prefixing to the Remains a few pages of eulogy. Farindon's materials passed to William Fulman, who likewise failed to write the memoir. Use has been made of Fulman's papers by John Walker and Chalmers.
John Aubrey, probably incorrectly, attributed to Hales the title "the first Socinian in England", an epiphet he had earlier, equally incorrectly, previously given to Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland.
