William Law

1686–1761 · Church of England (Nonjuror) · King's Cliffe, Northamptonshire, England

William Law (1686–1761), Church of England clergyman and devotional writer. He lost his Cambridge fellowship in 1714 for refusing the oath of allegiance to George I, and spent his later years at King's Cliffe in Northamptonshire, where he founded schools and almshouses. His Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life shaped Samuel Johnson, the Wesleys and the evangelical revival; the Address to the Clergy (1761) was the last work he published.
