Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646) was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was rector at St. Margaret’s, Tivetshall, from 1631–1636. Because of his nonconformity, he fled to Holland, where he was a colleague of William Bridge. Upon his return to England, he was chosen to preach to the congregations at Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in England.

“Irenicum is the best expression of Burroughs’s peace-loving heart, and it remains an enduring guide for Christians who want to promote peace among the godly. No doubt it is one of the most helpful treatises on Christian unity ever written by the Puritans or any other minister in the church.” Phillip L. Simpson, author of A Life of Gospel Peace: A Biography of Jeremiah Burroughs
