Attended St Andrews University, graduating MA (1606), and subsequently elected fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge (1606). Ordained a priest (1610), and received BD (1611) and DD (1613). Enjoyed considerable preferment, possibly due to familial connections at court through his father, [[Young, Peter]], and brother, [[Young, Patrick]], and appointed successively chancellor of Wells Cathedral (1611), canon of York (1613), dean of Winchester (1616) and rector of Over Wallop (1620). Also a royal chaplain. Served James VI and I in a variety of clerical/diplomatic roles. Apparently did not enjoy similar preferment from Charles I, and repeatedly disappointed in his desire for a bishopric.
