FENNER, DUDLEY (c. 1558-1587)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 256 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FENNER, DUDLEY (c. 1558-1587) , English puritan divine, was born in Kent and educated at
Cambridge
  University. There he became an adherent of
Thomas
 
Cartwright
  (1535-1603), and publicly expounded his presbyteria.n views, with the result that he was obliged to leave
Cambridge
  without taking his degree. For some months he seems to have assisted the
vicar
  of
Cranbrook
 , Kent, but it is doubtful whether he received ordination. He next followed
Cartwright
  to Antwerp, and, having received ordination according to rite of the Reformed church, assisted Cartwright for several years in preaching to the English
congregation
  there. The leniency shown by Archbishop
Grindal
  to puritans encouraged him to return to England, and he became curate of
Cranbrook
  in 1583. In the same year, however, he was one of seventeen, Kentish ministers suspended for refusing to sign an acknowledgment of the queen's supremacy and of the authority of the Prayer Book and articles. He was imprisoned for a time, but eventually regained his liberty and spent the remainder of his life as chaplain in the Reformed church at Middleburgh.
A
list
  of his authentic works is given in Cooper's Athenae Cantabrigienses (Cambridge, 1858-1861). They rank among the best expositions of the principles of puritanism.
