He acted as " See also:porter " to a scholarly bookseller in that See also:city, who, on discovering his skill in the See also:Hebrew See also:language, made him known to his See also:country-men.

Johnson (then in See also:prison) was pastor, reassembled in Amsterdam, Ainsworth was chosen as their See also:doctor or teacher. In 1596 he took the See also:lead in See also:drawing up a See also:confession of their faith, which he reissued in Latin in i 598 and dedicated to the various See also:universities of See also:Europe (including St See also:Andrews, See also:Scotland). Johnson joined his See also:flock in 1597, and in 1,6o4 he and Ainsworth composed An See also:Apology or See also:Defence of such true Christians as are commonly but unjustly called Brownists. The task of organizing the church was not easy and dissension was rife. Of Ainsworth it may be said that, though often embroiled in controversy, he never put himself forward; yet he was the most steadfast and cultured See also:champion of the principles represented by the See also:early Congregationalists. Amid all the strife of controversy, he steadily pursued his rabbinical studies. The See also:combination was so unique that many, like the encyclopaedists L. Moreri and J. H. Zedler, have made two Henry Ainsworths—one Dr Henry Ainsworth, a learned biblical commentator; the other H. Ainsworth, an See also:arch-heretic and " the ringleader of the Separatists at Amster-See also:dam." Some confusion has also been occasioned through his not unfriendly controversy with one See also:John Ainsworth, who abjured the See also:Anglican for the See also:Roman church. In 16o8 Ainsworth answered See also:Richard See also:Bernard's The Separatist Schisme. But his ablest and most arduous See also:minor See also:work in controversy was his reply to John See also:Smyth (commonly called " the Se-Baptist "), entitled a Defence of See also:Holy Scripture, See also:Worship and See also:Ministry used in the See also:Christian Churches separated from See also:Antichrist, against the Challenges, Cavils and Contradictions of Mr Smyth (1609). In 1610 he was forced reluctantly to withdraw, with a large part of their church, from F. Johnson and those who adhered to him. For some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time a difference of principle, as to the church's right to revise its See also:officers' decisions, had been growing between them, Ainsworth taking the more Congregational view. (See See also:CONGREGATIONALISM.) But in spirit he remained a See also:man of See also:peace. His memory abides through his rabbinical learning. The ripe See also:fruit of many years' labour appeared in his Annotations—on See also:Genesis (1616) ; See also:Exodus (1617); See also:Leviticus (1618) ; See also:Numbers (1619) ; See also:Deuteronomy (1619) ; See also:Psalms (including a metrical version, 1612);
See also:Song of See also:Solomon (1623). These were collected in See also:folio in 1627, and again in 1639, and later in various forms. From the outset the Annotations took a commanding See also:place, especially among See also:continental scholars, and he established for English See also:nonconformity a tradition of culture and scholarship. There is no See also:probability about the narrative given by See also:Neal in his See also:History of the Puritans (ii. 47) that he was poisoned by certain See also:Jews. He died in 1622, or early in 1623, for in that year was published his Seasonable Discourse, or a Censure upon a See also:Dialogue of the See also:Anabaptists, in which the editor speaks of him as a departed worthy.
