Joseph Hussey

After studying with the ejected minister Robert Whitaker, he attended Charles Morton's dissenting academy at Newington Green.

At that time the congregation met at the Hog Hill church, where a piece of land had been bought in 1687 on the basis of the Declaration of Indulgence;[1] and it took on the name "Great Meeting".

[2] From 1694 Hussey's Cambridge church was congregational; but there was a Presbyterian secession in 1696, who moved to a meeting in Green Street.

He wrote: The two latter books, on the denial of the free offer of the gospel, were influential in the formation of English hyper-Calvinism.

Distinctive of Hussey's views were supralapsarianism, the doctrine of irresistible grace, and a christology derived in part from Thomas Goodwin.
