Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 1 of 2
Mark Frank, the author of the following Sermons, was born at Brickhill in Buckinghamshire, in 1613. In July, 1627, he was admitted into Pembroke Hall, Cambridge; of which society he became a Foundation Scholar in 1630; and after graduating in Arts, a Fellow in 1634. In 1641 he took the degree of Bachelor in Divinity; and we find him soon after preaching before the civic authorities of London a Sermon, which attracted the notice of King Charles I. Three years after this, while holding the office of Treasurer in his College, the peaceful tenour of his academical life was abruptly cut short by the authority, then dominant and triumphant, of the rebellious Parliament. When the Earl of Manchester, accompanied by his two Puritan chaplains, Ash and Good, required of the "malignant" members of the University, as the sole condition of retaining their posts, the subscription of the Solemn League and Covenant, Mr. Frank was associated with the Master of his College, Dr. Benjamin Laney, Dean of Rochester, and many worthy confessors of other colleges, Cosins, Sterne, Comber, &c., as a determined recusant of the unlawful imposition. He was in consequence ejected from his Fellowship, and compelled in three days to quit the University of Cambridge altogether.
The period of deprivation and adversity, from 1644 to 1660, was borne by our confessor, as by other faithful sons of the Church, with patience and constancy.
