About the author

Benjamin Whichcote (1609–1683) was an English Establishment and Puritan divine, Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and leader of the Cambridge Platonists. He held that man is the "child of reason" and therefore not completely depraved by nature, as Puritans held. He also argued for religious toleration.
