 Vincent Alsop was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge. Though he was guilty of loose living early in life, the local minister (whose daughter he later married) spoke with him about his soul. Alsop was converted, and lived a life of serious piety from then on. Ordained as an episcopalian, he later became a presbyterian. He was one of the ejected ministers of 1662, and such was the hostility towards them that Alsop was imprisoned for six months for praying with a sick person as a minister! Vincent Alsop died in 1703; his funeral sermon was preached by Samuel Slater. His works were mainly rebuttals to errors of some of the Anglican writings of his day. None of them were reprinted in modern form. |
