ORTON, JOB (17171783)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 342 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORTON, JOB (17171783) , English dissenting minister, was born at Shrewsbury on the 4th of September 1717. He entered the
academy
  of Dr Philip Doddridge at
Northampton
  (q.v.), became minister of a
congregation
  formed by a fusion of Presbyterians and Independents at High
Street
  Chapel, Shrewsbury (1741), received Presbyterian ordination there (1745), resigned in 1766 owing to ill-
health
 , and lived in retirement at Kidderminster until his death. He exerted
great
  influence both among dissenting ministers and among clergy of the established
church
 . He was deeply read in Puritan divinity, and adopted Sabellian doctrines on the Trinity. Old-fashioned in most of his views, he disliked the tendencies alike of the Methodists and other revivalists and of the rationalizing dissenters, yet he had a good word for
Priestley
  and Theophilus Lindsey.
Among his numerous works are Letters to Dissenting Ministers (ed. by S. Palmer, 2 vols., 18o6), and
Practical
  Works (2 vols., with letters and memoir, 1842).
