Encyclopedia Britannica



ABBOT, GEORGE (1603-1648)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 23 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABBOT, GEORGE (1603-1648) , English writer, known as " The Puritan," has been oddly and persistently mistaken for others. He has been described as a clergyman, which he never was, and as son of Sir Morris (or Maurice) Abbot, and his writings accordingly entered in the bibliographical authorities as by the nephew of the archbishop of Canterbury. One of the sons of Sir Morris Abbot was, indeed, named George, and he was a man of mark, but the more famous George Abbot was of a different family altogether. He was son or grandson (it is not clear which) of Sir
Thomas
  Abbot, knight of Easington,
East
  Yorkshire, having been born there in 16031604, his
mother
  (or grandmother) being of the ancient
house
  of Pickering. Of his early life and training nothing is known. He married a daughter of Colonel Purefoy of Caldecote, Warwickshire, and as his
monument
 , which may still be seen in the
church
  there, tells, he bravely held the manor
house
  against Princes Rupert and Maurice during the civil war. As a layman, and nevertheless a theologian and scholar of rare ripeness and
critical
  ability, he holds an almost unique place in the literature of the period. The terseness of his Whole Booke of Job Paraphrased, or made easy for any to understand (1640, 4to), contrasts favourably with the usual prolixity of the Puritan expositors and commentators. His Vindiciae "Sabbathi (1641, 8vo) had a profound and lasting influence in the
long
  Sabbatarian controversy. His Brief Notes upon the Whole Book of Psalms (1651, 4to), as its date shows, was posthumous. He died on the 2nd of February 1648.
