 Daniel Burgess was born in Staines, Middlesex. He entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1660, but did not graduate because he would not conform to the dictates of the Church of England and its Act of Uniformity. He was licensed to preach by a presbytery, and then moved to Ireland where, after several years of private teaching, he was ordained by an Irish presbytery. At the age of 40 he came to London and ministered in a meeting house in Covent Garden. He died in 1713, and Matthew Henry preached his funeral sermon. None of his works were ever reprinted in modern form. He is, perhaps, most known for his work The Character of a Godly Man, published in 1691. |
