Who Was Benjamin Keach (1640-1704)?

A Reformed Baptist preacher in London.
Originally from Buckinghamshire.
Worked as a tailor early on.
Baptized at the age of 15 and began preaching at
18.
Minister of the congregation at Winslow before
moving in 1668 to the church at Horse-lie-down,
Southwark where he remained for 36 years as
pastor (1668-1704).
This congregation later became the New Park
Street Church and then moved to the Metropolitan
Tabernacle under Charles Spurgeon.
It was as representative of this church that
Keach went to the 1689 General Assembly and
subscribed the 1689 London Baptist Confession of
Faith.

Who Was Benjamin Keach (1640-1704)?

Keach wrote 43 works, of which his "Parables and
Metaphors of Scripture" may be the best known.
He wrote a work entitled The Child's Instructor
which immediately brought him under persecution
and he was fined and pilloried in 1664.
He is attributed with the writing of a catechism
commonly known as Keach's Catechism, although it
is most likely that the original was compiled by
William Collins.
Keach is also known to have promoted the
introduction of hymn singing in the Baptist
churches.

Who Was Benjamin Keach (1640-1704)?Pilloried for
Writing Childrens Catechism

On the pillory at Aylesbury Mr. Keach defended
himself and the truth with great boldness. The
jailer frequently interrupted him. and finally
the sheriff himself threatened to have him
gagged. The people, contrary to custom, had no
words of mockery for the good, persecuted
minister, and no offensive missile was hurled at
him. An Episcopal minister who ventured to assail
Mr. Keach in the pillory was immediately
reproached by the people with the ungodliness of
his own life, and his voice was drowned in
laughter. At Winslow, where he lived, he suffered
the same shameful penalty, and a copy of his
little book was burned. 1

pillory n. A wooden framework on a post, with
holes for the head and hands, in which offenders
were formerly locked to be exposed to public
scorn as punishment. v. pilloried,
pillorying, pillories To expose to
ridicule and abuse. To put in a pillory as
punishment.

Why Are We Doing This?Life Exists Beyond The
Romans Road!

Is a Calculus professor expected to know his
times-tables?
Does a Pulitzer Prize Writer understand basic
Grammar?
Will a Chemical Engineer know the Periodic Table
of Elements?
Should the Iron (Fe) Chef know his seasonings?
Can NASCAR mechanic fix and start a lawn mower?
Would you choose a Dermatologist who had Severe
Acne?
So is it really that unreasonable to expect
someone who calls himself a Bible-Believing
Baptist to know
The Bible
All of the Fundamental Baptist Beliefs based off
his Bible?
