John Rawlet or Rawlett (1642–1686) was an English Anglican cleric, known as a preacher and writer of religious literature, and for his close sympathy with Presbyterians. ==Life== Baptised at Tamworth in Warwickshire on 28 March 1642, Rawlet was religiously inclined from a young age. He matriculated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge on 15 December 1659. Prevented by poverty from proceeding to an ordinary degree, he later obtained the degree of Bachelor of Divinity on 23 June 1676, with a royal mandate of Charles II. After taking holy orders, and engaging in clerical work in London, Rawlet was before 1671 settled in the north), acting for a short while as chaplain to John Wilkins, the bishop of Chester from 1668.〔 In 1670 Rawlet let Richard Baxter know that Wilkins had succeeded with John Tilsley, an ejected minister of local prominence, in efforts to have him conform to the Church of England. At this period Rawlet mentioned to Baxter rumours of preferments that he could have himself as an Anglican. In 1679 Rawlet described himself as minister of Kirkby Stephen in Westmorland. In the summer of the same year (25 June 1679) he succeeded the Rev. John Marsh in the lectureship of St. Nicholas Church, Newcastle-on-Tyne. He stayed in Newcastle in 1682 when he was offered the vicarage of Coleshill in Warwickshire, but recommended John Kettlewell for the vacancy; he moved instead to St Ann's, Newcastle as vicar.〔〔 Rawlet died on 28 September 1686. By his will he left most of his property and his library to his native town of Tamworth.〔 The Rawlett School there is named for him.〔(Tamworth Borough Council, Heritage Trail )〕 Henry Bourne called Rawlet "a very pious and charitable man". 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 Rawlet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
