Thomas Watson
Rector of St Stephen's, Walbrook, and a nonconformist preacher after 1662.
Thomas Watson studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and was rector of St Stephen's, Walbrook, in the City of London, for about sixteen years. In 1651 he was briefly imprisoned for his part in a Presbyterian plan to bring back Charles II. In 1662 he was ejected with the other ministers who would not conform to the Church of England.
He went on preaching privately, and after the Declaration of Indulgence of 1672 he preached at Crosby Hall. His books are plain and practical, with short, pointed sentences. A Divine Cordial (1663), on Romans 8:28, is one of them; his Body of Divinity, sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism, was published after his death.
