About this title

Synopsis

In the minds of John Owen and Thomas Watson this explanation of the Catechism is 'greatly useful to all Christians in general.'

About the Author

Thomas Vincent (1634 1678) was born in Hertford, England and educated at Westminster School, and Felsted School in Essex before being elected in 1648 to Christ s College, Oxford (BA, 1652; MA, 1654). Both his father and brother were prominent ministers. He served as catechist to John Owen, and as chaplain to Robert Sidney, second earl of Leicester.

In 1657 he succeeded Thomas Case as rector of St Mary Magdalen, Milk Street, London, from where he was ejected in 1662 under the Act of Uniformity. He then assisted Thomas Doolittle at his Nonconformist Academy in Islington.

When the Great Plague came in 1665 Vincent became the friend of the afflicted, offering comfort and assistance to the diseased and dying. Sixty-eight thousand died of the plague in London alone that year, seven in his own household. The following year he was eyewitness to the Great Fire of London dreadful...a fearful spectacle .

For the last twelve years of his life Vincent preached to a congregation in Hand Alley, London, devoting himself to educating young people. His The Shorter Catechism Explained from Scripture is published by the Trust in the Puritan Paperbacks series.
