GOODWIN, DANIEL RAYNES: Protestant Episcopalian; b. at North Berwick, Me., Apr. 12, 1811; d. at Philadelphia Mar. 15, 1890. He was educated at Bowdoin College (B.A., 1832), and, after a year of study at Andover Theological Seminary and two years in Europe, became professor of modern languages in Bowdoin College in 1835. In that position he completed his theological studies, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1848. From 1853 to 1860 he was president of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., where he was also professor successively of modern languages and mental and moral philosophy. In 1860 he was elected provost of the University of Pennsylvania, a position which he held eight years, resigning to accept the deanship and Holy Trinity professorship of systematic theology in the Philadelphia Episcopal Divinity School, both of which he held until his death. He was a deputy to the General Convention from Maine in 1853 and from Pennsylvania after 1862. He wrote Christianity neither Ascetic nor Fanatic (New Haven, 1858); The Christian Ministry (Middletown, Conn., 1860); Southern Slavery in its Present Aspects (Philadelphia, 1864); The Perpetuity of the Sabbath (1867); The New Ritualistic Divinity (1879); Notes on the late Revision of the New Testament (New York, 1883) ; and Christian Eschatology (Philadelphia, 1885).
GOODWIN, JOHN: Arminian clergyman and controversialist; b. in Norfolk c. 1594; d. in London, 1665. He was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge (M.A., 1617). He preached for a number of years in his native county, officiated for a time at St. Mary's, Dover, and went to London in
1632, where he became vicar of St. Stephen's in
1633. Ejected from his living in 1645, he maintained an independent church till he was restored by Cromwell in 1649. Under the influence of John Cotton (q.v.) he early sided with the Puritans and was one of the first clergymen to rgo to the support of parliament on the appeal to arms in 1642, publishing numerous tracts in the interest of the Puritan cause. At the Restoration he, with eighteen others, was incapacitated for any public office, ecclesiastical or civil. In theology he was an Ar-
minian, though he always maintained that he was independent of the system of Arminius. His most important works are : Imputatio fidei, or a Treatise of Justification (London, 1642), held in high esteem by John Wesley, and quoted extensively by Richard Watson in his Theological Institutes; The Divine Authority of the Scriptures Asserted (1648), which was commended by Baxter; Might and Right Well Met (1648), a justification of the purging of the Parliament in 1648; 'T^piarodUai : The Obstructors of Justice (1649), a vindication of the sentence against Charles I., a tract publicly burned at the Restoration, together with several by Milton; 'Airo- IvTpumc 'ATzoXvrpuoEuc;, or Redemption Redeemed (1651) which called forth replies from John Owen, George Kendall, Robert Baillie, and others; Water- Dipping no Firm Footing for Church-Communion (1653); Cata- Baptism (1655), the last two works being polemics against Baptists; and the Triumviri (1658), a reply to his critics.

GOODWIN, THOMAS: English independent minister; b. at Rollesby (14 m. e.n.e. of Norwich), Norfolk, Oct. 5, 1600; d. in London Feb. 23, 1680. He was educated at Christ's College and Catherine's Hall, Cambridge (B.A., 1616; M.A., and B.D., 1620), where he was appointed lecturer at Trinity Church in 1628, and vicar in 1632. After an interview with John Cotton (q.v.) in 1633 he became an independent, and the following year he resigned his preferments and removed to London. Here he preached till 1639, when, his position having become untenable through Laud's vigilance, he went to Holland and became pastor of the English church at Arnheim. Soon after the opening of the Long Parliament (Nov. 3, 1640) he returned to London, gathered an independent congregation at St. Dunstan's-in-the-East, and became one of the most eminent of the independent ministers. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly, allied himself with the Congregational party called the "dissenting brethren," became their leader, and edited The Reasons Presented by the Dissenting Brethren (London, 1648). He was made chaplain to the Council of State Nov. 2, 1649, and president of Magdalen College, Oxford, Jan. 8, 1650. He became one of Cromwell's chief advisers, served on various important commissions, and attended the Protector on his death-bed. In 1658, with others, he secured Cromwell's consent to hold a synod for the purpose of drawing up a new confession of faith (see Congregationalists III., 1). On being deprived of his position at Oxford at the Restoration he returned to London as an independent minister. Of his voluminous writings only his sermons were printed during his lifetime. His Works (5 vols., London, 1681-1704) have been edited, with a memoir, by Robert Hall (12 vols., Edinburgh, 1861- 1866). There is also a condensed edition by J. Babb (4 vols., London, 1847-50).
