David Crosley or Crosly (1670–1744) was an English Particular Baptist minister; serving both as an Evangelist and a Pastor over the course of his life.
[2] Early in the following year he was at Bacup, Lancashire, where a meeting-house was built for him and his cousin, William Mitchell, and a few months later he was (according to Joseph Ivimey) baptised at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, and formally called to the ministry on 26 August 1692.
A reputation of "notorious immorality" clung to him, and caused his expulsion from communion by the Yorkshire and Lancashire Baptist Association.
[1] In 1696 Crosley edited and published The Old Man's Legacy to his Daughters, by N. T., which he reprinted in 1736, with a few additional pages of his own.
In 1744 he republished his sermon Samson, a Type of Christ, with the addition of a discourse on marriage, and a preface by George Whitefield, with whom he conducted a correspondence in his later years.
