An Explanation of the Assembly's Shorter Catechism." Thomas Vincent (May 1634 - October 15, 1678) was a Puritan minister and author. Both his father and brother were prominent ministers. He was educated at Christ's College, Oxford, graduating with a B. A. He was a young non-conformist preacher who entered into the ministry very early. It was said of him that he had memorized the entire New Testament as well as the Psalms. He was rector of St. Mary Magdalen in Milk-Street, London, until he was ejected in 1662 by the Bartholemew Act, listing him as one of the "ejected" or "silenced" ministers by the Act of Uniformity. Out of his pulpit, he gave himself to the education of youth. When the Great Plague of London of 1665 came, however, Vincent became the friend of the afflicted, offering comfort and assistance to the diseased and dying.He was among the signers of the 1673 Puritan Preface to the Scots Metrical Psalter.
