William Whately (1583–1639) was an English Puritan cleric and author. ==Life== The son of Thomas Whately, twice mayor of Banbury, Oxfordshire, and Joyce his wife, he was born at Banbury on 21 May 1583. At fourteen he entered Christ's College, Cambridge, where he had Thomas Potman for his tutor. He graduated B.A. in 1601, known as a logician and orator. Whately left Cambridge with Puritan opinions to continue theological study at home. As his father-in-law suggested, Whately went to Oxford to study for the ministry, and was incorporated at St. Edmund Hall on 15 July 1602. He graduated M.A. on 26 June 1604.〔 Shortly Whately was chosen lecturer in Banbury; and was instituted on 9 February 1610, on the king's presentation, to the vicarage of Banbury. His preaching attracted some from Oxford to hear him. With other ministers he delivered lectures at Stratford-on-Avon.〔 Whately died at Banbury on 10 May 1639. He was buried in the churchyard under a raised monument, now destroyed, with an inscription preserved by a copy made on 13 July 1660. He was popular in Banbury, a fact referred to ironically by Richard Corbet, in his ''Iter Boreale'', written about 1625, in referring to the neglected condition of his church.〔 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「William Whately」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
