Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLAVEL, JOHN (c. 16271691) ,
English
  Presbyterian divine, was born at Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, probably in 1627. He was the elder son of Richard Flavel, described in con-temporary records as " a painful and eminent minister." After receiving his early education, partly at
home
  and partly at the grammar-schools of Bromsgrove and Haslar, he entered University College,
Oxford
 . Soon after taking orders in 165o he obtained a curacy at Diptford,
Devon
 , and on the death of the
vicar
  he was appointed to succeed him. From Diptford he re-moved in 1656 to
Dartmouth
 . He was ejected from his living by the passing of the Act of Uniformity in 1662, but continued to preach and administer the sacraments privately till the Five Mile Act of 1665, when he retired to Slapton, 5 M. away. He then lived for a time in London, but returned to
Dartmouth
 , where he laboured till his death in 1691. He was married four times. He was a vigorous and voluminous writer, and not without a play of fine fancy.
His
principal
  works are his Navigation Spiritualized (1671); The Fountain of
Life
 , in
forty
 -two Sermons (1672) ; The Method of Grace (168o) ; Pneumatologia, a Treatise on the Soul of Man (1698); A Token for Mourners; Husbandry Spiritualized (1699). Collected editions appeared throughout the 18th
century
 , and in 1823 Charles Bradley edited a 2 vol. selection.
