Calamy's See also:forty-one publications are mainly sermons, but his fame rests on his nonconformist See also:biographies. His first See also:essay was a table of contents to Baxter's Narrative of his See also:life and times, which wassent to the See also:press in 1696; he made some remarks on the See also:work itself and added to it an See also:index, and, reflecting on the usefulness of the See also:book, he saw the expediency of continuing it, as Baxter's See also:history came no further than the See also:year 1684. Accordingly, he composed an abridgment of it, with an See also:account of many other ministers who were ejected after the restoration of See also:Charles II.; their See also:apology, containing the grounds of their See also:nonconformity and practice as to stated and occasional communion with the See also:- CHURCH

Church of England; and a continuation of their history until the year 1691. This work was published in 1702. The most important See also:chapter (ix.) is that which gives a detailed account of the ministers ejected in 1662; it was afterwards published as a distinct See also:volume. He afterwards published a moderate See also:defence of Nonconformity, in three tracts, in See also:answer to some tracts of See also:Benjamin, afterwards See also:Bishop, See also:Hoadly. In 1713 he published a second edition (2 vols.) of his Abridgment of Baxter's History, in which, among various additions, there is a continuation of the history through the reigns of William and See also:Anne, down to the passing of the Occasional See also:Bill. At the end is subjoined the reformed See also:liturgy, which was See also:drawn up and presented to the bishops in 1661. In 1718 he wrote a vindication of his grandfather and several other persons against certain reflections See also:cast upon them by Laurence Echard in his History of England. In 1719 he published The Church and the Dissenters Compar'd as to Persecution, and in 1728 appeared his Continuation of the Account of the ejected ministers and teachers, a volume which is really a See also:series of emendations of the previously published account. He died on the 3rd of June 1732, having been married twice and leaving six of his thirteen See also:children to survive him. Calamy was a kindly See also:man, frankly self-conscious, but very See also:free from See also:jealousy. He was an able diplomatist and generally secured his ends. His See also:great See also:hero was Baxter, of whom he wrote three distinct See also:memoirs. His eldest son Edmund (the See also:fourth) was a Presbyterian See also:minister in London and died 1755; another son (Edmund, the fifth) was a See also:barrister who died in 1816; and this one's son (Edmund, the See also:sixth) died in 1850, his younger See also:brother See also:Michael, the last of the See also:direct Calamy See also:line, surviving till 1876.
