Stillingfleet, Edward
Stillingfleet, Edward (1635–99), Bp. of Worcester from 1689. He held Latitudinarian views. His Irenicum (1659) advocated a union between Episcopalians and Presbyterians, treating forms of Church government as inessential. In 1664 he replied to the Jesuit account of the controversy between W. Laud and J. Fisher in his Rational Account of the Grounds of the Protestant Religion. His Origines Britannicae (1685) deals with the sources of the British Church.
