Joseph Caryl
Joseph Caryl (November 1602 – 25 February 1673) was an English
ejected minister.[1]
Life
He was born in
St Magnus-the-Martyr near London Bridge. He continued, however, to minister to an Independent congregation in London till his death in March 1673, when John Owen
succeeded him.
Works
His piety and learning are displayed in his commentary on
Job (12 vols., 1651–1666; 2nd ed., 2 vols., fol. 1676–1677). It was first published in parts from 1650 by Matthew and Mary Simmons. Their son, Samuel, committed himself to publish it as a single work and Mary transferred the rights to him in 1673. However it took several years to be ready and it was published in two volumes in 1676 and 1677.[2]
Family
Joseph Caryl married, and his daughter Elizabeth married the merchant Benjamin Shute; their child John Shute, the lawyer and theologian, was born at Theobalds, Essex. He changed his name, and became John Barrington, 1st Viscount Barrington.
