Cotton, John 1585-1652
Clergyman; born in Derby, England, Dec. 4, 1585; became minister of St. Botolph's Church, Boston, Lincolnshire, about 1612, and remained there, a noted preacher and controversialist, for twenty years, constantly leaning towards Puritanism.
For his non-conformity he was cited to appear before Archbishop Laud, when he fled to America, arriving in Boston in September, 1633.
He was soon afterwards ordained a colleague with Mr. Wilson in the Boston Church.
His ministry there for nineteen years was so influential that he has been called The patriarch of New England.
He was a firm opponent of Roger Williams, and defended the authority of ministers and magistrates.
He and Davenport were invited to assist in the assembly of divines at Westminster, but were dissuaded from going by Hooker.
He died in Boston, Dec. 23, 1652.
