This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was son of Joseph Sedgwick, vicar of Saint Peter"s, Marlborough, Wiltshire, and then of Ogbourne Saint Andrew, and was born at Marlborough about 1600.
He matriculated at Queen"s College, Oxford, on 18 June 1619, aged 19, moved to Magdalen Hall, and graduated Bachelor of Arts on 5 May 1620, Master of Arts
23 January1623. He was tutor (1626) to Sir Matthew Hale. Having taken orders, he became chaplain to Horace Vere, 1st Baron Vere of Tilbury, whom he accompanied to the Low Countries. Returning to Oxford, he commenced Bachelor of Divinity on 16 January 1630.
His first preferment (1630) in the church was as lecturer at Saint Mildred"s, Bread Street, London, where his puritanism got him into trouble.
On 6 July 1639 he was presented by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, to the vicarage of Coggeshall, Essex, in succession to John Dod. On the opening of the Long parliament he regained his lectureship at Saint Mildred"s, and became known as a vigorous preacher against episcopacy.
In the autumn of 1642 he was chaplain to the regiment of foot raised by Denzil Holles. On 6 October 1643 he spoke at the Guildhall in favour of the league with Scotland for the prosecution of the war, and his speech was published in Foure Speeches, 1646.
In a sermon of September 1644 he preached for "cutting off delinquents." He held for a short time the rectory of Street Andrew"s, Holborn, on the sequestration (13 December 1645) of John Hacket.
But next year (before May 1646) he was appointed to the rectory of Saint Paul"s, Covent Garden, and resigned Coggeshall where John Owen succeeded him (18 August). He was a man of property, being lord of the manor of Ashmansworth, Hampshire. Retiring to Marlborough, he died there at the beginning of January 1658, and was buried near his father, in the chancel of Ogbourne Saint Andrew.
