Baxter, Richard (1615–1691)| English cleric. During the English Civil War he was a chaplain in the Parliamentary army, and after the Restoration became a royal chaplain. Baxter was driven out of the church by the Act of Uniformity of 1662, which he saw as an unacceptable administrative and spiritual imposition. In 1685 he was imprisoned for nearly 18 months for alleged sedition. |
