===[[name::Samuel]] [[name::CLARKE]] [[date of birth::1599]]-[[date of death::1682]]===<br />
<br />
====Biographical Note====<br />
Samuel Clarke was the son of [[family::Hugh Clarke]] (d. 1634), the puritan vicar of [[place of birth::Wolston, Warwickshire]], and [[family::Alice Wilson]] of Coventry. He was educated at [[education::Coventry Grammar School]] and then [[education::Emmanuel College, Cambridge]]. For a time he had assistant posts in parishes in [[location::Coventry]] and [[location::Warwick]].<br />
In 1633 he was appointed to the living of [[location::Alcester, Warwickshire]], where he was an opponent of the Laudian reforms.<br />
In 1643 he became the [[occupation::minister]] at St Benet Fink in [[location::London]] where he was very active in presbyterian organisation in the capital. He welcomed the restoration of Charles II in 1660 but was unable to accept the requirements of conformity and was ejected from his living in 1662. He spent the next twenty years as an author of many biographical studies, suggesting that he will have had a reasonably large book collection. His son [[crossreference::Samuel Clarke 1626-1701|Samuel Clarke ( 1626-1701)]] was also an ejected minister and prolific author.<br />
