Joseph Symonds
Joseph Symonds (d. 1652) was an English Pastor and Puritans.[1]
Career
When Joseph Symonds was a young man he was assistant to Thomas Gataker at Rotherhithe.[1] He was appointed Rector (ecclesiastical) of St Martin Pomary Ironmonger-lane, London,[2] in 1632.[1] He was persecuted by William Laud for adopting the church government views of the Independents.[1] Symonds took refuge in the Netherlands in 1639, where he along with William Bridge and Jeremiah Burroughs was appointed pastor of an English-speaking congregation at Rotterdam.[1][3]
Symonds returned to England in 1647 and became vice president and fellow of Eton College which office he held until his death in 1652.[1]
Controversy
Symonds after his return to England[4] was accused by some to have preached:
- Toleration and liberty for all men to worship God according to their consciences[4]
- In favor of Believer's baptism[4]
- Antinomianism[4]
