Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GURNALL, WILLIAM (16171699) , English author, was born in 1617 at King's Lynn, Norfolk. He was educated at the free grammar school of his native town, and in 1631 was nominated to the Lynn scholarship in
Emmanuel
  College,
Cambridge
 , where he graduated B.A. in 1635 and M.A. in 1639. He was made
rector
  of Lavenham in Suffolk in 1644; and before he received that appointment he seems to have officiated, perhaps as curate, at Sudbury. At the Restoration he signed the declaration required by the Act of Uniformity, and on this account he was the subject of a libellous attack, published in 1665, entitled Covenant-Renouncers Desperate Apostates. He died on the 12th of October 1679. Gurnall is known by his Christian in Complete
Armour
 , published in three volumes, dated 1655, 1658 and 1662. It consists of a
series
  of sermons on the latter portion of the 6th chapter of Ephesians, and is described as a " magazine from whence the Christian is furnished with spiritual arms for the battle, helped on with his
armour
 , and taught the use of his weapon; together with the happy issue of the whole war." The
work
  is more
practical
  than theological; and its quaint fancy, graphic and pointed style, and its fervent religious tone render it still popular with some readers.
See also An Inquiry into the Life of the Rev. W. Gurnall, by H. M'Keon (183o), and a biographical introduction by Bishop
Ryle
  to the Christian in Complete Armour (1865).
