Howe, John (1630–1705), Puritan. In 1652 he was ordained by the rector of Winwick, whom he regarded as a ‘primitive bishop’. In 1654 he became incumbent of Great Torrington, Devon, from which he was ejected in 1662. In 1676 he became co-pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at Haberdashers’ Hall in London. He headed the deputation of Nonconformist ministers who congratulated William III in 1689. His standpoint inclined to Latitudinarianism, and he tried to unite the Presbyterians and Congregationalists.

John Howe

The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed. | 2008 | Copyright

John Howe 1630-1705, English Puritan clergyman. As domestic chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, he advocated religious toleration. After the Restoration, he preached in secret (1662-71) until, becoming chaplain to Lord Massereene of Antrim Castle, Ireland, he turned his attention to writing. He eventually settled at Utrecht until the Declaration of Indulgence (1687) permitted his return to England. Howe's principal work is The Living Temple of God, an expression of his Puritanism. It is included in his collected works (1724).
