This guy was the same age as Cotton Mather, and went to school with him, both to Boston Latin School, and to Harvard. Cotton's father Increase was President of Harvard in the 1690s, before the witch trials, and hired John to be a tutor. But Increase got called away and in his absence Cotton got carried away up in Salem. John, our hero, said nothing; Increase was his boss. He was writing Logic textbooks in Latin at the time; he later became President of Harvard, much to Cotton Mather's chagrin.
