BURGESS, DANIEL (1645-1713) , English Presbyterian divine, was born at Staines, in Middlesex , where his father was minister. He was educated under Busby at Westminster school, and in 166o was sent to Magdalen Hall
Orrery , to the headmastership of a school recently established by that nobleman at Charleville. Co. Cork, and soon after he became private chaplain to Lady Mervin, near Dublin. There he wasordained by the local presbytery, and on returning to England was imprisoned for preaching at Marlborough. He soon regained his liberty, and went to London, where he speedily gathered a large and influential congregation, as much by the somewhat excessive fervour of his piety as by the vivacious illustrations which he frequently employed in his sermons. He was a master of epigram, and theologically inclined to Calvinism. The Sacheverell mob gutted his chapel in 1710, but the government repaired the building. Besides preaching, he gave instruction to private pupils, of whom the most distinguished was Henry
regium donum or government grant of 500 half-yearly for dissenting ministers.End of Article: BURGESS, DANIEL (1645-1713) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
