William Ames (/eɪmz/; Latin: Guilielmus Amesius; 1576 – 14 November 1633) was an English Protestant divine, philosopher, and controversialist. He spent much time in the Netherlands, and is noted for his involvement in the controversy between the Calvinists and the Arminians.
A formidable inquiry into our conscience and the way we ought to judge our thoughts and actions. Ames sometimes dives deep into the details and attempts to answer surprising questions that he must have been asked by his students and parishioners.
