BARRINGTON, JOHN SHUTE, 1ST V1SCOUNT (1678-1734)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 437 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARRINGTON, JOHN SHUTE, 1ST V1SCOUNT (1678-1734) , English lawyer and theologian, was the son of Benjamin Shute, merchant, and was born at Theobalds, in
Hertfordshire
 , in 1678. He received part of his education at the university of Utrecht; and, after returning to England in 1698, studied law in the Inner Temple. In 1701 he published several pamphlets in favour of the civil rights of
Protestant
  dissenters, to which class he belonged. On the recommendation of Lord Somers he was employed to induce the Presbyterians in
Scotland
  to favour the union of the two kingdoms, and in 1708 he was rewarded for this service by being appointed to the office of
commissioner
  of the customs. From this, however, he was removed on the
change
  of administration in 1711; but his fortune had, in the meantime, been improved by the bequest of two considerable estates,one of them left him by Francis Barrington of Tofts, whose name he assumed by act of
parliament
 , the other by John Wildman of Becket. Barrington now stood at the head of the dissenters. On the accession of George I. he was returned to
parliament
  for Berwick-upon-Tweed; and in 1720 the king raised him to the Irish peerage, with the title of Viscount Barrington of Ardglass. But having unfortunately engaged in the Harburg lottery, one of the bubble speculations of the time, he was expelled from the
House
  of Commons in 1723,a
punishment
  which was considered much too severe, and was thought to be due to personal malice of Walpole. In 1725 he published his principal
work
 , entitled Miscellanea Sacra or a New Method of considering so much of the History of the A postles as is contained in Scripture, 2 vols. 8vo,-afterwards reprinted with additions and corrections, in 3 vols. 8vo, 1770, by his son Shute. In the same year he published An Essay on the Several Dispensations of God to Mankind. He died on the 14th of December 1734.
