Joseph Symonds (pastor)
Joseph Symonds (d. 1652) was an English Pastor and puritan.[1]
Career[edit]
When Joseph Symonds was a young man he was assistant to Thomas Gataker at Rotherhithe.[2] He was appointed rector of St. Martin's Ironmonger-lane, London,[3] in 1632. He was persecuted by Archbishop Laud for adopting the church government views of the Independents.[2] Symonds took refuge in the Netherlands in 1639, where he along with William Bridge and Jeremiah Burroughs was appointed pastor of an English-speaking congregation at Rotterdam.[4]
Symonds returned to England in 1647 and was appointed as a minister in John Goodwin's congregation on 1 March.[5] On the same year he became the vice president and fellow of Eton College which office he held until his death in 1652.[2]
