    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Ames, William (1576–1633)

English theologian and cleric. His Puritan views, expounded in De conscientia et ejus jure vel casibus/Fresh Suit against Ceremonies 1630, helped to convert Richard Baxter to Nonconformity.

Ames was born in Ipswich, Suffolk. While studying at Cambridge, he clashed with the authorities on account of his religious Nonconformity and denunciations of university life, whereupon he fled to Holland. Installed as pastor in Franeker, Friesland, 1622, he established himself as professor, preacher, and theologian. His book De conscientia connected Christianity with the common things of life.
