Charles Herle (1598-1659) was a prominent English theologian, of moderate Presbyterian views.
He graduated from Exeter College, Oxford with an M.A. in 1618. He was vicar of Winwick, Lancashire, from 1626.[1].
In a controversy with Henry Ferne, a Royalist, he insisted, against divine right theory, that a monarch's sovereignty was mediated by the people, rather than coming directly from God[2]. It has been suggested that this work marks the beginning of a transition from theories of mixed government to the doctrine of separation of powers[3].
His 1643 work on independent churches provoked reaction from New England[4], and controversy with Samuel Rutherford.
He became Prolocutor of the Westminster Assembly in 1646, after the death of Twisse[5]. The Westminster Confession of Faith of 1646 was drawn up by Herle with others[6], drafting being assigned at one point to a small group of Herle, Edward Reynolds and Matthew Newcomen.
