William Price

c. 1597–1666

Welsh Presbyterian; English Reformed pastor in Amsterdam.

Biography

Welsh-born and Oxford-trained, Price was minister of the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam from 1641 — the major Reformed exile congregation in the Netherlands — while also being named to the Westminster Assembly. His position straddled two ministries: he attended Assembly sessions during English visits but spent most of his time at the Begijnhofkerk in Amsterdam, which he held until his death in 1666. He was a steady moderate Presbyterian voice and one of the few Welsh-born Assembly members.

Role at the Assembly

English Presbyterian divine

The great majority of the sitting members were English parish ministers of Presbyterian conviction. They formed the drafting core of the Assembly, manning its three standing committees and supplying most of the text of the Confession, the two Catechisms, and the Directory for Public Worship.
