Philip Henry, English Puritan (August 24, 1631 - June 25, 1696), and father of Matthew Henry, was ejected from the pulpit on his birthday, St. Bartholomew's Day, 1662.

As a boy he attended the morning lectures conducted by the Westminster Assembly at the direction of his godly mother. He was present at the execution of King Charles I. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1657. After the Restoration, he was arrested and imprisoned several times and burdened by the Five Mile Act. He taught his son and the rest of family the principles of family worship which Matthew Henry conveyed to his family and many others. He preached as much as possible, even unto the end of his life.

For more on his life, see Matthew Henry's account of The Life and Death of Philip Henry and Matthew Henry Lee's Diaries and Letters of Philip Henry, among other sources.

Soli Deo Gloria has a volume of Philip Henry's sermons planned for 2007 in "The Puritan Pulpit" series.

I look forward to it with great interest.
