See also:ALLEINE, See also:JOSEPH (1634-1668) , See also:English See also:Nonconformist divine, belonged to a See also:family originally settled in See also:Suffolk. As See also:early as 1430 some of them—sprung of Alan, See also:lord of Buckenha]l —settled in the neighbourhood of See also:Calne and See also:Devizes, whence descended the immediate ancestors of " worthy Mr Tobie Alleine of Devizes," See also:father of Joseph, who, the See also:fourth of a large family, was See also:born at Devizes early in 1634. 1645 is marked in the See also:title-See also:page of a See also:quaint old tractate, by an See also:eye-See also:witness, as the See also:year of his setting forth in the See also:Christian See also:race. His See also:elder See also:brother See also:Edward had been a clergyman, but in this year died; and Joseph entreated his father that he might be educated to succeed his brother in the See also:ministry. In See also:April 1649 he entered See also:Lincoln See also:College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, and on the 3rd of See also:November 1651 he became See also:scholar of Corpus Christi College. On the 6th of See also:July 1653 he took the degree of B.D., and became a See also:tutor and See also:chaplain of Corpus Christi, preferring this to a fellowship. In 1654 he had offers of high preferment in the See also:state, which he declined; but in 16J5 See also:George See also:Newton, of the See also:great See also:- CHURCH

of the former, with See also:Lady Farewell, See also:grand-daughter of the See also:protector Somerset—bear witness to the attraction of Alleine's private See also:life. His public life was a See also:model of See also:pastoral devotion. This is all the more remarkable as he found See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time to continue his studies, one See also:monument of which was his Theologia Philosophica (a lost MS.), a learned See also:attempt to harmonize See also:revelation and nature, which See also:drew forth the wonder of See also:Baxter. Alleine was no See also:mere scholar or divine, but a See also:man who associated on equal terms with the founders of the Royal Society. These scientific studies were, however, kept in subordination to his proper See also:work. The extent of his See also:influence was, in so See also:young a man, unique, resting on the earnestness and force of his nature. The year 1662 found See also:senior and junior pastors like-minded, and both were among the two thousand ejected ministers. Alleine, with See also:John See also:Wesley (grandfather of the celebrated John Wesley), also ejected, then travelled about, See also:preaching wherever opportunity was found. For this he was See also:cast into See also:prison, indicted at sessions, bullied and fined. His Letters from Prison were an earlier Cardiphonia than John Newton's. He was re-leased on the 26th of May 1664; and in spite of the Conventicle, or Five Mile See also:Act, he resumed his preaching. He found himself again in prison, and again and again a sufferer. His remaining years were full of troubles and persecutions nobly See also:borne, till at last, worn out by them, he died on the 17th of November 1668; and the mourners, remembering their beloved See also:minister's words while yet with them, " If I should See also:die fifty See also:miles away, let me be buried at Taunton," found a See also:grave for him in St Mary's See also:chancel. No Puritan nonconformist name is so affectionately cherished as is that of Joseph Alleine. His See also:chief See also:literary work was An Alarm to the Unconverted (1672), otherwise known as The Sure See also:Guide to See also:Heaven, which had an enormous circulation. His Remains appeared in 1674.
