Luke Milbourne or Milbourn (1649–1720) was an English clergyman, known as a High Church supporter of Henry Sacheverell, and also as a critic and poet. ==Life== He was the son of Luke Milbourne (1622–1668), an ejected minister who was the incumbent of Wroxhall, Warwickshire, where he was born. His mother's name was Phœbe. He was educated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1667, and graduated B.A. in 1670. After graduating he appears to have held chaplaincies to the English merchants at Hamburg and Rotterdam. He was afterwards at Harwich, and was beneficed in the beginning of William III's reign at Great Yarmouth. There he associated much with Rowland Davies, later dean of Cork, and wrote a lampoon on the town, entitled ''Ostia''. In 1688 he had become lecturer of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and in 1704 he succeeded Samuel Harris as rector of St. Ethelburga's, London. He is ‘the priest of the church of England and rector of a church in the city of London’ who, in a published ''Letter'' (1713) to Roger Laurence, author of ‘Lay Baptism Invalid,’ rejected the validity of lay baptism by the authority of Calvin and of French Protestant writers. Many of his numerous printed sermons touched on the martyrdom of Charles I, and enforcing the duty of passive obedience. After listening to one of Milbourne's high-flying sermons in January 1713, Bishop White Kennett asked indignantly ‘why he did not stay in Holland?’ and ‘why he is suffered to stay in England?’ He died in London 15 April 1720. 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「Luke Milbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
