John Geree (1601?–1649) was an English clergyman of Puritan and royalist views. ==Life== He was born in Yorkshire. In 1615, aged 14, he became either batler or servitor of Magdalen Hall, Oxford. He graduated B.A. on 27 January 1619, M.A. on 12 June 1621. Having taken orders he obtained the living of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. For not conforming to the ceremonies he was silenced (after 1624) by Godfrey Goodman, bishop of Gloucester, and reduced to live on charity In 1641 he was restored to his cure by the committee for plundered ministers, and remained there till, on 14 March 1646, he was appointed to the rectory of St Albans, Hertfordshire. Here he engaged in a controversy with John Tombes, the baptist, who had been his fellow-student at Oxford. He left St Albans in 1647, having been appointed preacher at St. Faith's, under St Paul's Cathedral in London. His residence in February 1648 was in Ivy Lane, Paternoster Row. In London, as elsewhere, his sermons were largely attended by Puritans. He was strongly averse to episcopacy, and published his ''Case of Conscience'', 1646, to prove that the king might consent to its abolition without breaking his coronation oath. Geree died in February 1649. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Geree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
