MARCKANT, JOHN (fl. 1562), was one of the contributors to the Sternhold and Hopkins Metrical Psalter of 1562. He was inducted vicar of Clacton-Magna, 31 Aug. 1559, and was vicar of Shopland, Essex, 1563-8 (Newcourt). His contributions to the Psalter were the 118th, 131st, 132nd, and 135th Psalms. These, being at first merely initialed 'M.,' have been conjecturally attributed to John Mardeley [q. v.] (Brydges, Censura Literaria, vol. x.; Holland, Psalmists of Britain, i. 136, &c.), but the name is given in full, 'Marckant,' in 1565, and in later editions, as in that of 1606, is sometimes printed 'Market.' The same remarks apply to 'The Lamentation of a Sinner' ('Oh! God, turn not Thy face away,' afterwards altered by Reginald Heber), and 'The Humble Sute of a Sinner,' both also marked 'M.' in the 1562 Psalter. In St. John's College, Oxford, is a broadside ballad, attributed by Dr. Bliss to Marckant: 'Of Dice, Wyne, and Women,' London (by William Griffith), 1571. Further, three publications, entered in the 'Stationers' Registers,' are there assigned to Marckant, viz. 'The Purgation of the Ryght Honourable Lord Wentworth concerning the Crime layd to his Charge, made the 9 Januarie 1558;' 'A New Yeres Gift, intituled With Spede Retorne to God, and Verses to Diuerse Good Purposes,' licensed to Thomas Purforte 3 Nov. 1580. None of these are now known, although the last is noticed in Herbert's edition of Ames's 'Typ. Antiq.,' 1316.

MARCUARD, ROBERT SAMUEL (1751–1792?), engraver, was born in England in 1751 and became a pupil of Bartolozzi, whose manner he successfully followed, working entirely in stipple. Between 1778 and 1790 he produced many good plates after Cipriani, A. Kauffmann, W. Hamilton, W. Peters, T. Stothard, and others; also portraits of Francesco Bartolozzi and Ralph Milbank (both after Reynolds), Major Francis Pierson, and Cagliostro. Marcuard died about 1792.

MARDELEY, JOHN (fl. 1548), was clerk of the mint (Suffolk House, Southwark) under Edward VI (Ruding, Annals of the Coinage, i. 53), and was the author of: 1. 'Here is a shorte Resytal of certayne Holy Doctours whych proveth that the naturall Body of Christ is not conteyned in the Sacrament of the Lordes Supper but fyguratyvely.' 'In myter, by Jhon Mardeley,' London, 12mo,' published 1540-50?; partly written in 'Skeltonic ' metre (Collier, Bibliograph. Account, i. 515-16). 2. 'Here beginneth a necessary instruction for all covetous ryche men,' &c., London, 1547-53? 3. 'A ruful Complaynt of the publyke weale to Englande,' London, about 1547, 4to, in four-line stanzas. 4. 'A declaration of the power of God's Worde concerning the Holy Supper of the Lord' (against the 'maskynge masse'), London, 'compyled 1548.' This is in prose; after the dedication to Edward, duke of Somerset, occurs 'A complaynt against the styffnecked' in verse. Some verse translations in the Psalter of 1562 signed ' M.' and attributed by Haslewood to Mardeley are by John Marckant [q. v.] Bale credits Mardeley with earlier verse - translations of twenty-four psalms and with religious hymns (Script. 106).

MARDISLEY, JOHN (d. 1386?), Franciscan, was probably a native of Yorkshire. He incepted as D.D. of Oxford before 1355. In this year he disputed in the chancellor's schools at York in defence of the Immaculate Conception against the Dominican, William Jordan. His manner of disputation gave offence to his opponents, but the chapter of York issued letters testifying to his courteous behaviour. In 1374 he was summoned with other doctors to a council at Westminster, over which the Black Prince and the Archbishop of Canterbury presided. The subject of discussion was the right of England to refuse the papal tribute. The spiritual counsellors 'advised submission to
