William Bagshaw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Bagshaw is the author of Saintship No ground of Soverainty. The book was printed in Oxford in 1660 by one H: Hall, who was a printer to the Oxford University.

He might be the William Bagshawe, who was the vicar at the Anglican church in Glossop, and who was forced to leave along with some two thousand other clergy who refused to comply with the introduction of the Book of Common Prayer in 1662. This was the beginning of many of the nation’s non-conformist congregations.
