Henry Burton (Puritan)

Henry Burton (Puritan)

Henry Burton (Yorkshire, 1578 – 1648), was an English puritan. Along with John Bastwick and William Prynne, Burton's ears were cut off in 1637 for writing pamphlets attacking the views of Archbishop Laud.

He worked in London but was imprisoned in 1629 for his attacks on the power of bishops. He was eventually released but was arrested again in 1636 and charged with sedition. He worked as a tutor to Prince Henry Federick and the future Charles I of England.

After his criticism of William Laud and punishment, he then was imprisoned. After his release in 1641, he established an Independent congregation in London.
