Jeremiah Burroughs
Jeremiah Burroughs (1601-1646) was a prominent Puritan minister and theologian educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
His ministry spanned four periods: assistant to Edmund Calamy, rector at Tivetshall Norfolk, teacher to English Independents in Rotterdam, and pastor of two major London congregations where he was called "the morning star of Stepney." A moderate Independent at the Westminster Assembly, he advocated for unity amid doctrinal differences, captured in his motto about variety and unity being compatible.
Known as a gifted preacher and prolific writer of sermon compilations, Burroughs pursued peace until his death in 1646 following a fall from his horse.
