Biographical Sketch
"John Dury died," says Dr. Briggs, "without seeing the fruit of his life-long labours, but he did not live and work in vain. Like Richard Baxter, James Ussher and John d'Avanant, he was the prophet of a better age of the world. He was sowing the seed and preparing the germs of Christian toleration, liberty and union that have unfolded in later times," and he worthily takes his place among the "heroes of the seventeenth century, who laboured so faithfully and so well."
