Smith, from intercourse with whom, as well as from See also:direct acquaintance with the Dialogues themselves, his mind received that " Platonic tinge " so perceptible in his writings. Immediately after See also:graduation at Cambridge, he migrated to See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, where he became See also:fellow and See also:chaplain of Magdalen College, proceeding M.A. in 1652. He was then ordained by See also:Charles Herle (1598-1659), the Puritan See also:rector of Winwick, and in 1654 went as perpetual See also:curate to See also:Great See also:Torrington in See also:Devon, where he preached the discourses which later took shape in his See also:treatises on The Blessedness of the Righteous and on Delighting in See also:God. In the beginning of 1657 a See also:journey to See also:London accidentally brought Howe under the See also:notice of See also:Cromwell, who made him his domestic chaplain. In this position his conduct was such as to win the praise of even the bitterest enemies of his party. Without overlooking his fellow-Puritans, he was always ready to help pious and learned men of other See also:schools. See also:Seth See also:- WARD

Thomas See also:Fuller were among those who profited by Howe's kindness, and were not ashamed subsequently to See also:express their gratitude for it. On the resignation of See also:Richard Cromwell, Howe returned to Great Torrington, to leave it again in 1662 on the passing of the See also:Act of Uniformity. For several years he led a wandering and uncertain See also:life, See also:preaching in See also:secret as occasion offered to handfuls of trusted hearers. Being in straits he published in 1668 The Blessedness of the Righteous ; the reputation which he thus acquired procured him an invitation from See also:Lord See also:Massereene, of See also:Antrim See also:Castle, See also:Ireland, with whom he lived for five or six years as domestic chaplain, frequently preaching in public, with the approval of the bishop of the See also:diocese. Here too he produced the most eloquent of his shorter treatises, The Vanity of See also:Man as Mortal, and On Delighting in God, and planned his best See also:work, The Living See also:Temple. In the beginning of 1676 he accepted an invitation to become See also:joint-pastor of a non-conformist See also:congregation at Haberdashers' See also:- HALL

Hall, London; and in the same year he published the first See also:part of The Living Temple entitled Concerning God's Existence and his Conversableness with Man: Against See also:Atheism or the Epicurean See also:Deism. In 1677 appeared his tractate On the Reconcileableness of God's Prescience of the Sins of Alen with the See also:Wisdom and Sincerity of His Counsels, Exhortations and whatsoever means He uses to prevent them,which was attacked from various quarters, and had See also:Andrew Marvell for one of its defenders. On Thoughtfulness for the Morrow followed in 1681; Self-See also:Dedication and See also:Union among Protestants in 1682, and The Redeemer's Tears wept over Lost Souls in 1684.
For five years after his See also:settlement in London Howe enjoyed See also:comparative freedom, and was on not unfriendly terms with many eminent Anglicans, such as See also:Stillingfleet, See also:Tillotson, John See also:Sharp and Richard Kidder; but the greater severity which began to be exercised towards nonconformists in 1681 so interfered with his See also:liberty that in 168.5 he gladly accepted the invitation of See also:- PHILIP

William of See also:Orange. In 1687 Howe availed himself of the See also:declaration for liberty of See also:conscience to return to See also:England, and in the following year he headed the deputation of See also:nonconformist ministers who went to congratulate William on his See also:accession to the English See also:throne. The See also:remainder of his life was uneventful. His influence was always on the See also:side of mutual forbearance, between conformists and dissenters in 1689, and between Congregationalists and Presbyterians in 1690. In 1693 he published three discourses On the Carnality of Religious Contention, suggested by the disputes that became rife among nonconformists as soon as liberty of See also:doctrine and See also:worship had been granted. In 1694 and 1695 he published various treatises on the subject of the Trinity, the See also:principal being A See also:Calm and See also:Solemn Inquiry concerning the Possibility of a Trinity in the Godhead. • The second part of The Living Temple, entitled Animadversions on Spinosa and a See also:French Writer pretending to confute him, with a recapitulation of the former part and an See also:account of the destitution and restitution of God's Temple among Men, appeared in 1702. In 1701 he had some controversy with See also:Daniel See also:Defoe on the question of occasional conformity. In 1705 he published a discourse On See also:Patience in the Expectation of Future Blessedness, but his See also:health had begun to fail, and he died in London on the 2nd of See also:April 1706. Richard Cromwell visited him in his last illness.
Though excelled by See also:Baxter as a See also:pulpit orator, and by See also:Owen in exegetical ingenuity and in almost every See also:department of theological learning, Howe compares favourably with either as a sagacious and profound thinker, while he was much more successful in combining religious earnestness and fervour of conviction with large-hearted tolerance and cultured breadth of view. He was a man of high principle and See also:fine presence, and it was said of him " that he never made an enemy and never lost a friend."
The See also:works published in his lifetime, including a number of sermons, were collected into 2 vols. fol. in 1724, and again reprinted in 3 vols. 8vo. in 1848. A See also:complete edition of the Whole Works, including much See also:posthumous and additional See also:matter, appeared with a memoir in 8 vols. in 1822; this was reprinted in I vol. in 1838 and in 6 vols. in 1862-1863. E. See also:Calamy's Life (1724) forms the basis of The Life and See also:Character of Howe, with an See also:Analysis of his Writings, by Henry See also:Rogers (1836, new ed. 1863). See also a See also:sketch by R. F. See also:Horton (1896).
