free encyclopedia anglican theologian richard sibbes born 1577 tostock suffolk died 1635 aged 57 58 notable work the bruised reed theological work era elizabethan era tradition or movement anglicanism puritanism calvinism richard sibbes or sibbs 1577 1635 was an anglican theologian he is known as a biblical exegete and as a representative with william perkins and john preston of what has been called main line puritanism 1 because he always remained in the church of england and worshiped according to the book of common prayer life edit he was born in tostock suffolk where his father was a wheelwright 2 other sources say sudbury after attending bury st edmunds grammar school 3 he attended st john s college cambridge from 1595 4 he was lecturer at holy trinity church cambridge from 1610 or 1611 to 1615 or 1616 5 it was erroneously held by 18th and 19th century scholars that sibbes was deprived of his various academic posts on account of his puritanism in fact he was never deprived of any of his posts due to his ingenuity of the system 6 he was then preacher at gray s inn london from 1617 7 returning to cambridge as master of catherine hall in 1626 without giving up the london position 8 also in 1626 the support group known as the feoffees for impropriations was set up and sibbes was a founding member it built on an informal grouping dating back to 1613 it was closely linked to st antholin budge row for its seven years of existence it was shut down in 1633 9 with others he worked to fund and provide platforms for preachers 10 he was one of four ministers in the original feoffees the other members being chosen as four lawyers and four laymen 11 works edit he was the author of several devotional works expressing intense religious feeling the saint s cordial 1629 the bruised reed and smoking flax 1631 exegesis of isaiah 42 3 the soules conflict 1635 etc a volume of sermons appeared in 1630 dedicated to horace vere 1st baron vere of tilbury and his wife lady mare most of the other works were first published by thomas goodwin and philip nye after sibbes died the content belied the mainly moderate and conforming attitudes for which sibbes was known in his lifetime 12 beames of divine light a description of christ in three sermons and bowels opened appeared in 1639 as did the returning backslider sermons on the book of hosea a complete edition was published 1862 1864 in edinburgh in seven volumes by james nichol with a biographical memoir by alexander grosart views edit the clerical leaders of the feoffees davenport gouge and sibbes all adhered to calvinist covenant theology as shaped by the english theologians perkins preston william ames and thomas taylor 13 14 there was a tacit assumption of a state church 15 sibbes believed the second coming was necessary to complete the work that christ had begun 16 efforts to define further the puritanism of sibbes which is a term much debated place him in various groups under pious non separatists he is with preston richard baxter robert bolton and john dod 17 under those who would conform to set forms of worship he is with dod nicholas byfield richard capel john downame arthur hildersham and richard stock another feoffee 18 he is also a fully conforming puritan with preston samuel ward and robert hill 19 with richard bernard he was a moderate calvinist who promoted religious tolerance 20 with perkins preston baxter and henry newcome he was a moderate and non presbyterian puritan 21 however one classifies him it is undeniable that he was a faithful member of the elizabethan church 22 his perspective was european or even wider and he saw catholicism in terms of a repressive conspiracy 23 with davenport gouge taylor thomas gataker john stoughton and josias shute he helped raise money for protestants of the electorate of the palatinate affected by the opening of the thirty years war and later for john dury s missions 24 laud brought up sibbes davenport gouge and taylor in front of the court of high commission for this 25 the fountain opened 1638 advocated mission work 26 quotes edit there is more mercy in christ than sin in us 27 influence edit his works were much read in new england 26 thomas hooker prominent there from 1633 was directly influenced by sibbes and his espousal theology using marriage as a religious metaphor draws on the bruised reed and bowels opened 28 the poet george herbert was a contemporary and there are suggestions on parallels where herbert speaks in the church militant about the westward movement of the propagation of the gospel christopher hill comments that this may have come from the bruised reed 29 other examples have been proposed by doerksen 30 31 sibbes was cited by the methodist john wesley 32 the baptist preacher charles spurgeon studied his craft in sibbes perkins and thomas manton 33 the evangelical martyn lloyd jones wrote in the highest terms of his own encounter with the work of sibbes 34
