John Phillip

d. 1660

Wrentham co-pastor with Bridge.

Departs from the Confession on Polity: Independent-Congregational not Presbyterian-Jure-Divino

Biography

Co-pastor with William Bridge at Wrentham, Suffolk. A working Assembly member of Independent sympathies.

Role at the Assembly

Independent / Dissenting Brethren

A small but articulate minority of Congregationalist divines — the 'Dissenting Brethren' — who pressed for a gathered-church polity against the Presbyterian majority. Their Apologeticall Narration (1644) and their dissents in the Grand Debate over church government shaped the Confession's carefully worded chapters and anticipated the Savoy Declaration of 1658.
