A. was educated in St. John’s college, Cambridge; and about the year 1644 was chosen minister of this place, and lecturer of Black-friars, both which pulpits he filled with great acceptance till the destruction of monarchy, af. ter which he was sequestered, for refusing to comply with the orders of parliament. He was sent to the Tower for Love's Plot, but upon his humble petition, and promise of submission to the powers in being, he was pardoned, and his sequestration taken off, but he carefully avoided med dling in politics afterwards. He was summoned before the council Jan. 2, 1661, and reprimanded, because he forgot to pray for the king;” and being ejected with his brethren in 1662, he retired into the country; but upon the indulgence in 1671, he had a new meeting-house erected for him in Jewin-street, where he preached to a crouded audience. He was one of the merchants’ lecturers at Pinner's-hall. And when the indulgence was revoked, he continued preaching as he could till this year; but Sep tember 2, 1684, being at a private fast with some of his brethren, the soldiers broke in, and carried Mr. Jenkyn before two aldermen, who treated him very rudely, and, upon his refusing the Oxford oath, committed him to New gate; while he was there, he petitioned the king for a re lease, his physicians declaring, that his life was in danger from his close confinement; but no security would be ac cepted. So that he soon declined in his health, and died in Newgate in the seventy-third year of his age, Jan. 19, 1684-5,having been a prisoner four month and one week. A little before he died he said, a man might be as effectually murdered in JWewgate as at Tyburn. He was buried by his friends in Bunhill-fields with great honor, many eminent persons, and some scores of coaches, attending his funeral.
