Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Samuel Clarke (1684-1750) was an English Nonconformist pastor and theological writer, known for his collection Promises of Scripture. He is not to be confused with his near contemporary Samuel Clarke (1675-1729), also a clergyman but an Anglican.He was born on 16 December 1684 at Chelsea into an extended family of clergy. His father, Benjamin Clarke (1653-1722), was the youngest son of Daniel Clarke (1609-1654), vicar of Kirk Burton, Yorkshire, a brother of Samuel Clarke (1599-1683), the Puritan biographer. His father married his cousin Elizabeth (1656-1736), the daughter of another Samuel Clarke (1626-1701), annotator of the Bible. After reading the works of the older Samuel Clarke, who was his great-uncle on one side and great-grandfather on the other, he went through a course of preparation for the ministry.
