Philip Henry (clergyman)

Philip Henry (clergyman)

Philip Henry (August 24,1631 - June 24,1696) [ODNB article gives Dates of Birth & Death] was an English Nonconformist clergyman, born in London.

Ordination

Henry graduated from Oxford in 1652 and was ordained in 1657.

Ecclesiastical career

Henry's career as a preacher was repeatedly interrupted by the religious persecutions of his time, and it was not until the Act of Toleration was passed in 1687 that he was allowed to pursue his calling unmolested. The remaining years of his life were spent in unceasing labor. His "Diaries and Letters", published in 1882, gives a detailed account of the Nonconformist life of this period.
