Mayhew, Jonathan (1720–66),son of Experience Mayhew, was pastor of the West Church, Boston, from 1747 until his death. He preached a rational, practical Christianity based on the Scriptures rather than Calvin, and affirmed the doctrine of free will, rejecting the Trinitarian view and defending the right of private judgment. His advanced outlook led to many controversies, and among his replies is the caustic
Letter of Reproof to Mr. John Cleaveland (1764). He was also a liberal in regard to civil rights; in his
Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non‐Resistance to the Higher Powers (1750), he defended popular disobedience when civil commands were contrary to divine ordinances.
The Snare Broken (1766) was a sermon counseling observation of the Stamp Act laws, although defending the preservation of individual rights. Mayhew was a friend of the Adamses, James Otis, and other liberal leaders.
