Joseph Caryl (November 1602 – 25 February 1673) was an English ejected minister.[1]

Life[]

He was born in London, educated at Merchant Taylors' School, and graduated at Exeter College, Oxford, and became preacher at Lincoln's Inn. He frequently preached before the Long Parliament, and was a member of the Westminster Assembly in 1643. By order of the parliament he attended Charles I in Holmby House, and in 1650 he was sent with John Owen to accompany Cromwell to Scotland. In 1662, following the Restoration, he was ejected from his church of 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).

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.
