Does not appear to be notable. I highly doubt that he was only person in the 1600's that was secretly gay.

Upon further review of the available sources and the current state of the article, I am going to formally vote for deletion. --

Delete Article is based on 3 modern, scholarly articles all of which draw their evidence from transcripts of the trial of Nicholas Sension for sodomy in 1677. Now if
Arthur Miller were to write a play about Sensions, I could see the notability. But 3 scholarly articles do not notability create. Perhaps there is an appropriate merge target?

Delete - Can't see how it has enough referencing to pass
WP:GNG, but merging it per Arthistorian's suggestion would be okay as well.
