Matthew Wren (writer)
Matthew Wren (20 August 1629 – 14 June 1672) was an English politician and writer. He is now known as an opponent of James Harrington, and a monarchist who made qualified use of the ideas of Thomas Hobbes.〔Andrew Pyle (editor), ''Dictionary of Seventeenth Century British Philosophers'' (2000), article on Wren, pp. 920-1.〕
==Life==
He was the eldest child of the Royalist Bishop of Ely Matthew Wren and Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Cutler of Ipswich, and therefore cousin of Sir Christopher Wren. He was educated at both Peterhouse, Cambridge and the University of Oxford, graduating M.A. at Oxford on 9 September 1661.
He was secretary to Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, from 1660 to 1667, M.P. for St. Michael (1661 to 1672), and secretary to James, Duke of York (1667 to 1672). He was fatally injured accompanying the duke at the Battle of Solebay in 1672 and died on his return to Greenwich. He was buried with his father at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge.〔
He was one of the council of the Royal Society named in Charles II's original charter, dated 15 July 1662,〔Thomas Sprat, ''History of the Royal Society'', 1667, p. 55.〕 and was a prominent member of the Society.〔
