Andrew Perne (Puritan)

Andrew Perne (1596–1654) was an English clergyman of Puritan opinions and member of the Westminster Assembly.

Life

He entered Peterhouse, Cambridge as a sizar in 1613, graduating B.A. in 1618 and M.A. in 1621.[1]

He was fellow of Catherine Hall, Cambridge, from 1622 to 1627, when he was made rector of Wilby, Northamptonshire; he was chosen in 1643 one of the four representatives from Northamptonshire to the Westminster Assembly. At this time he may have been sequestered from his living, and at St Dunstan-in-the-West.[1] He preached two sermons before the House of Commons during the Long Parliament: one was on the occasion of a public fast, 31 May 1643, and was printed; the other on 23 April 1644, at the thanksgiving for Thomas Fairfax's victory at Selby.

He died at Wilby on 13 December 1654, and was buried in the chancel of his church, with an inscription to his memory. A funeral sermon by Samuel Ainsworth of Kelmarsh was published.[2]

gollark: The closest thing is the LAN command daemon, for administration on local networks, which Tau *gained* a while ago, but it only allows shutdown, reboot and update or something like that.
gollark: Nope! Tau dropped that ages ago.
gollark: Interesting fact: there is a dedicated PotatOS backup bunker in case of all life on the surface of the overworld being wiped out. It's a solid sphere of bedrock buried in some location somewhere with storage, dedicated melon machines, a trilaterator, and a copy of the potatOS DSK.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: After the Guardian Incident potatOS does not have EZCopy™ enabled on SC, even though that was caused by a bizarre CC race condition or something.
