Henry Pickworth : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Pickworth Henry Pickworth (c.1673?–c.1738) was an English religious controversialist, from about 1702 hostile to the Quakers. ==Life== The son of Henry Pickworth, a farmer of New Sleaford, Lincolnshire, he was born there about 1673, and was in business in Sleaford as a tanner. After joining the Quakers, he was appointed an elder and overseer by the Waddington monthly meeting. Hearing that Francis Bugg proposed coming, at the instigation of the bishop, to confute the Quakers in Lincolnshire, Pickworth sent him a challenge to visit Sleaford, and hold with him an open dispute. Bugg arrived 11 August 1701, and on 25 August the conference was held in the sessions house, before justices and clergymen. Pickworth was thought to have performed disappointingly, and Bugg was given a certificate, dated 11 March 1702, that he had made good his charges. Two Quaker books were publicly burned in the market-place. Both disputants issued their own version of the conference, and Pickworth then attacked Bugg in pamphlets. Pickworth was soon after completely won over to Bugg's views, and began writing against the Quakers. He went repeatedly to the yearly Quaker meeting held in London in May and June, to present addresses, protests, and "testimonies", but was generally refused an audience. At last, on 9 June 1714, he was disowned by the quarterly meeting of Lincoln for supporting the Camisards. Pickworth vainly petitioned the Lords and Commons for another public conference. He moved to Lynn Regis, Norfolk, before 1738, when he issued a defence of his indictment against the Quakers. He died at Lynn some time after that date.〔
