Abstract
Thomas Gataker (1574-1654) was one of the most prolific and respected authors among the Puritan clergy, and in this article Diane Willen investigates the development of his use of vernacular publication. After expressing formulaic reluctance, Gataker began publishing at age forty-five with an original treatise on causality, followed by works of practical divinity and support for Continental Protestantism. Largely silent during the Arminian ascendancy, he resumed publication during the Revolution with the aim of protecting the integrity and cohesion of the godly community. Even as his rhetoric turned increasingly polemical, vitriolic, and autobiographical, in his attacks against antinomians and astrologers, print became integral to his piety.
