Ezekiel Rogers 1590 (Date unknown) – January 23, 1660) was an English nonconformist clergyman, and Puritan settler of Massachusetts.
[2] In December 1638, after seventeen years of service, Rogers was discharged from his post as rector of Rowley, after he had refused to read The Book of Sports.
Believing the future of Puritanism was at stake, he left for the New World with the members of twenty families of his congregation.
[3] Theophilus Eaton and John Davenport were then setting up their colony at New Haven; they tried to enlist Rogers, but without success.
[2] Rogers published The Chief Grounds of the Christian Religion set down by way of catechising, gathered long since for the use of an honourable Family, London, 1642.
