Nicholas Byfield
Nicholas Byfield (1579–1622) was an English clergyman, a leading preacher of the reign of James I.〔Louis B. Wright, Henry Steele Commager, Richard Brandon Morris, ''The Cultural Life of the American Colonies'' (2002), p. 138.〕
==Life==
He was a native of Warwickshire, son by his first wife of Richard Byfield, who became vicar of Stratford-on-Avon in January 1597. The ejected minister Richard Byfield was his half-brother.〔:s:Byfield, Nicholas (DNB00)〕
Nicholas entered Exeter College, Oxford, in the Lent term 1596, and was four years at university, but did not graduate. Taking orders, he intended to exercise his ministry in Ireland; but on his way there he preached at Chester, and was prevailed upon to remain as one of the city preachers, without cure. He lectured at St. Peter's church, and was extremely popular. John Bruen was one of his hearers, and a friend to him.〔
On 31 March 1615 Byfield was admitted to the vicarage of Isleworth, in succession to Thomas Hawkes. At this point he was chaplain to Edward Russell, 3rd Earl of Bedford. At Isleworth he preached twice every Sunday, and gave expository lectures every Wednesday and Friday. He kept up until five weeks before his death, from the stone. He died on Sunday, 8 September 1622. The following day a surgeon removed from his body a stone which weighed 35 ounces; William Gouge was present at the autopsy. By his wife, Elizabeth, Byfield had at least eight children, of whom the third was Adoniram Byfield.〔
