PATRICK, SIMON (16261707)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PATRICK, SIMON (16261707) , English divine, was born at
Gainsborough
 , Lincolnshire, on the 8th of September 1626. He entered Queen's College,
Cambridge
 , in 1644, and after taking orders in 1651 became successively chaplain to Sir Walter St John and
vicar
  of Battersea, Surrey. He was afterwards (1662) preferred to the rectory of St Paul's, Covent
Garden
 , London, where he continued to labour during the plague. He was appointed dean of
Peterborough
  in 1679, and
bishop
  of Chichester in 1689, in which year he was employed, along with others of the new bishops, to settle the affairs of the Church in Ireland. In 1691 he was translated to the see of Ely, which he held until his death on the 31st of May 1707. His sermons and devotional writings, which are very numerous, were
long
  held in high estimation, and his Commentary on the Historical and Poetical Books of the Old Testament, in ro vols., brought down as far as the Song of Solomon, was reprinted as recently as 1853. His Friendly Debate between a Conformist and a Nonconformist was a controversial
tract
  which excited considerable feeling at the time of its publication in 1668, but he lived
long
  enough to soothe by his moderation and candour the exasperation it had caused. He also contributed to a volume of Poems upon Divine and Moral Subjects (1719).
The first collected edition of his works appeared at
Oxford
  in 1859 (9 vols., 8vo) ; a small Autobiography was published also at
Oxford
  in 1839.
