Joseph Caryl
Joseph Caryl (November 1602 – 25 February 1673) was an English ejected minister.[1]
Life
[edit | edit source]He was born in London, educated at Merchant Taylors' School, and graduated at Exeter College, Oxford, and became preacher at Lincoln's Inn. He frequently preached before the Long Parliament, and was a member of the Westminster Assembly in 1643. By order of the parliament he attended Charles I in Holmby House, and in 1650 he was sent with John Owen to accompany Cromwell to Scotland. In 1662, following the Restoration, he was ejected from his church of St Magnus-the-Martyr near London Bridge. He continued, however, to minister to an Independent congregation in London until his death in March 1673, when John Owen succeeded him.[2]
Works
[edit | edit source]His piety and learning are displayed in his commentary on Job (12 vols., 1651–1666; 2nd edition, 2 vols., fol. 1676–1677).[2] It was first published in parts from 1650 by Matthew and Mary Simmons. Their son, Samuel, committed himself to publish it as a single work and Mary transferred the rights to him in 1673. However it took several years to be ready and it was published in two volumes in 1676 and 1677.[3]
Family
[edit | edit source]Joseph Caryl married, and his daughter Elizabeth married the merchant Benjamin Shute; their child John Shute, the lawyer and theologian, was born at Theobalds, Essex. He changed his name, and became John Barrington, 1st Viscount Barrington.
