Thomas Watson (Puritan)

Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686) was an English Puritan preacher and author. He was ejected from his London parish after the Restoration, but continued to preach privately.

Watson was affiliated with the Cavalier faction in the English Civil War. From 1651 to 1652, he was imprisoned for taking part in a failed conspiracy to restore Charles II of England on the throne. During the actual Stuart Restoration, he was ejected from his position as a vicar due to his non-conformity.
