John Collins (Independent minister)

[1][2] In 1659 Collins was acting as chaplain to General George Monck, whom he accompanied from Scotland to London.

Monk dismissed his Independent chaplains in March 1660, when he turned to the Presbyterians.

Collins held no preferment at the date of the Uniformity Act 1662, but is included by Edmund Calamy among the "silenced ministers.

"[1] Subsequently, he succeeded Thomas Mallory (ejected from the lectureship of St. Michael's, Crooked Lane) as pastor of a congregational church in Lime Street, London.

[1] According to Calamy, Collins published no separate work, but:[1] Collins's son Thomas (educated at Utrecht) was elected copastor at Lime Street in 1697.
