Benjamin Whichcote, portrait byMary Beale

Benjamin Whichcote (March 1609 – May 1683) was an EnglishEstablishment andPuritan divine,Provost ofKing's College, Cambridge and leader of theCambridge Platonists. He held that man is the "child of reason" and so notcompletely depraved by nature, as Puritans held. He also argued for religious toleration.

Life and career

[edit]

Whichcote was born at Whichcote Hall inStoke upon Tern,Shropshire. He enteredEmmanuel College, Cambridge in 1628,^[1] and became afellow in 1633.^[2] In 1637, he wasordained adeacon andpriest at the same time. In 1643, he married and took up priestly duties in a Cambridge-dispensed parish inNorth Cadbury, Somerset. In 1644, he became 19th Provost of King's College due toParliamentary control of the universities. However, he was the only new head of house who did not subscribe to theNational Covenant. In 1650, during theInterregnum, he wasvice-chancellor of theUniversity of Cambridge, and advisedOliver Cromwell on the subject of toleration of theJews. After theRestoration he was removed from his position at King's College, but reinstated when he accepted theAct of Uniformity in 1662.

From that time he was the Curate ofSt. Anne's Church, Blackfriars, until it burnt down in 1666. In 1668, he was appointed Vicar ofSt Lawrence Jewry.^[2] He was a brother toJeremy Whichcote and Elizabeth Foxcroft, wife ofEzechiel Foxcroft.^[3]

Whichcote was one of the leaders of theCambridge Platonists, and had liberal views. In 1650, he was involved in a controversy with his former teacher and friendAnthony Tuckney. He was opposed to the doctrine of total depravity and adopted asemi-Pelagian position, holding that man is the "child of reason", and therefore not, as the Puritans held, of a completely depraved nature. He argued that there are some questions beyond the ability of reasonable and religious people to solve, and he therefore called for religious toleration. He was accused at various times by various persons of being anArminian,Socinian, andLatitudinarian.

He died inCambridge in May 1683 aged 74 and was buried in London at the church of St Lawrence Jewry.
