Thomas Gataker ( * London, 4 September 1574; † Cambridge, 27 June 1654)〔(Nomenclator Philologorum ) by Friedrich August Eckstein〕 was an English clergyman and theologian. ==Life== He was born in London, the son of Thomas Gatacre. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge. From 1601 to 1611 he held the appointment of preacher to the society of Lincoln's Inn, which he resigned on accepting the rectory of Rotherhithe. In 1642 he was chosen a member of the Westminster Assembly, and annotated for them the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Lamentations. He disapproved of the introduction of the Covenant and declared himself in favour of episcopacy. He was one of the forty-seven London clergymen who disapproved of the trial of Charles I. He engaged in a public controversy with the astrologer William Lilly, who had mentioned Gataker in an almanac.〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=45390, which has some further biographical details.〕 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「Thomas Gataker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
