ABBOT, ROBERT (1588?1662?)

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

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABBOT, ROBERT (1588?1662?) , English Puritan divine. Noted as this worthy was in his own time, and representative in various ways, he has often since been confounded with others, e.g. Robert Abbot,
bishop
  of
Salisbury
 . He is also wrongly described as a relative of Archbishop Abbot, from whom he acknowledges very gratefully, in the first of his epistles dedicatory of A Hand of Fellowship to Helpe Keepe out Sinne and Antichrist (1623, 4to), that he had " received all " his " worldly maintenance," as well as " best earthly countenance " and " fatherly incouragements." The worldly maintenance was the presentation in 1616 to the vicarage of
Cranbrook
  in Kent. He had received his education at
Cambridge
 , where he proceeded M.A., and was afterwards incorporated at
Oxford
 . In 1639, in the epistle to the reader of his most noticeable book historically, his Triall of our Church-Forsakers, he tells us, "I have lived now, by God's gratious dispensation, above fifty years, and in the place of my allotment two and twenty full." The former date carries us back to 15881589, or perhaps 15871588 the $' Armada " yearas his
birth
 -time; the latter to 16161617 (ut supra). In his Bee Thankfull London and her Sisters (1626), he describes himself as formerly "assistant to a reverend divine . . . now with God," and the name on the margin is " Master Haiward of Wool Church (Dorset)." This was doubt-less previous to his going to
Cranbrook
 . Very remarkable and effective was Abbot's ministry at Cranbrook, where his parishioners were as his own " sons and daughters " to him. Yet, Puritan though he was, he was extremely and often unfairly antagonistic to Nonconformists. He remained at Cranbrook until 1643, when,
Parliament
  deciding against pluralities of ecclesiastical offices, he
chose
  the very inferior living of
South
 -wick, Hants, as between the one and the other. He afterwards succeeded the " extruded " Udall of St Austin's, London, where according to the Warning-piece he was still pastor in 1657. He disappears silently between 16571658 and 1662. Robert Abbot's books are conspicuous amongst the productions of his time by their terseness and variety. In addition to those mentioned above he wrote Milk for Babes, or a
Mother
 's Catechism for her Children (1646), and A Christian Family builded by God, or Directions for Governors of Families (1653).
