Ralph Brownrigg or Brownrig (1592–1659) was bishop of Exeter from 1642 to 1646. He spent that time largely in exile from his see, which he perhaps never visited. [1] He did find a position there for Seth Ward. [2] He was both a Royalist in politics, and a Calvinist in religion, [3] an unusual combination of the period. Brownrigg opposed Laudianism in Cambridge during the 1630s and at the Short Parliament Convocation of 1640. Nominated to the Westminster Assembly, [4] he apparently took no part in it.
He studied at Ipswich and Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. [5] He was awarded an M.A. in 1614 and a D.D. in 1626. [6] He was Rector of St Margaret of Antioch, Barley, Hertfordshire, in 1621. [7]
He was Master of St Catharine's College, Cambridge, [8] and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, but in 1646 was ejected from both these positions, by the Parliamentary government. [9] He was also deprived of his See by Parliament on 9 October 1646, as episcopacy was abolished for the duration of the Commonwealth and the Protectorate. [10] [11]
He took refuge with Thomas Rich, lord of the manor of Sonning. [12]
He continued to preach, for example at the Temple Church, [3] and a collection of sermons of his was published posthumously. [13]
