Byfield, Richard 1598?-1664

Richard Byfield (1598?-1664) was an English clergyman, Sabbatarian controversialist, member of the Westminster Assembly, and ejected minister. He sat in the Westminster Assembly, but was not one of the divines nominated in the original ordinance of 12 June 1643, being appointed, perhaps through the influence of his nephew Adoniram Byfield, to fill the vacancy caused by the 1645 death of Daniel Featley.
