John Gaule

[1][4] After the Stuart Restoration, he claimed in a petition to the Parliament of England that he had been imprisoned by the Parliamentary army 'for declaring the unlawfulness of the war against the King', and had been in danger of being shot by order of Edward Whalley.

[6] As a result, and to expose the methods used by Hopkins, he wrote Select Cases of Conscience touching Witches and Witchcraft, London, 1646.

[15] With Henry Jeanes, Nathaniel Stephens and Anthony Burgess, he took part in the presbyterian attack on Jeremy Taylor's doctrine of original sin.

[20] At the time of the Restoration, Gaule wrote a tract, An Admonition moving to Moderation, holding forth certain brief heads of wholesom advice to the late and yet immoderate Party, London, 1660, to which he prefixed a dedication to Charles II of England.

[3] He also demanded a compensation from the confiscated estate of former MP Valentine Wauton, by that time a fugitive regicide, asserting that the latter had 'detained from him (for) six years' 'the arrears of his living'.
