thumb Philip Nye (c. 1595–1672) was a leading English Independent theologian. ==Life== He graduated with an M.A. from Magdalen Hall, Oxford in 1622. He spent the years 1633 to 1640 in exile, in Holland.〔''Concise Dictionary of National Biography''〕 He was one of the Five Dissenting Brethren in the Westminster Assembly, and a leader of the group alongside Thomas Goodwin.〔(The Westminster Confession of Faith )〕 With support from Lord Kimbolton〔The future Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester.〕 he had influential connections with the Parliamentary Army,〔(), (PDF ), p. 6.〕 and also had the living of Kimbolton, then in Huntingdonshire. He acted as an adviser to Oliver Cromwell on matters around regulation of the Church.〔G. E. Aylmer, ''Rebellion or Revolution?'' (1986), p. 179.〕 According to Ivan Roots, the eventual ecclesiastical settlement under the Protectorate followed closely proposals from 1652, outlined by Nye with John Owen and others.〔''The Great Rebellion'' (1995 edition), p. 176.〕 He later had the parish of Acton. He was employed by Parliament, on a mission to the imprisoned Charles I, and as a trier of preachers. He is mentioned in ''Hudibras''.〔(Acton | British History Online )〕 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「Philip Nye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
