John Enty John Enty (1675?–1743) was an English Presbyterian minister. He became a leading figure in nonconformist circles in Exeter, after moves taken against ministers of unorthodiox views in the years before 1720. ==Early history== Enty was the son of John Enty, a travelling tailor in Cornwall, was born in that county about 1675. The boy was working with his father at Tregothnan, the seat of the Boscawen family, when he attracted the notice of a Mrs Fortescue, who sent him to the Taunton Grammar School and thence to the Taunton Academy, under Matthew Warren.〔''The Monthly Repository'' dated June 1821, vol. XVI, (pp. 325-327 )〕 Fortified by a recommendation from Warren, he went to preach at Plymouth, some time after the death (15 May 1696) of Nicholas Sherwill, pastor of one of the two presbyterian congregations. Sherwill's place was filled for a short time by his assistant, Byfield, who, according to John Fox (1693–1763), ‘had the best sense and parts of any dissenter that ever lived’ in Plymouth. The congregation, however, set aside Byfield and chose Enty, as ‘a bright and serious young man.’ He was ordained at Plymouth on 11 May 1698. Fox disparages his talents, but admits his power of moving the passions and the charm of his musical voice. In 1708 his congregation, numbering five hundred persons, built for him a new place of worship in Batter Street. He married well, and thus acquired means and position.
