    (1598-1682) A leading Presbyterian divine; in 1662 ejected from his living (St Giles-in-the-Fields) for nonconformity. In politics a strong royalist, he had been arrested in 1653 on suspicion of taking part in a plot. His sermons, punctuated by gasps and winks, were easy meat for the mimics.

  • “…punctuated by gasps and winks…”
    Sounds like Tourette’s Syndrome.
