Robert Boreman or Bourman (died 1675) D.D, was a Church of England clergyman who supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War.
[1] Boreman was a member of a family which came originally from the Isle of Wight, and brother of Sir William Bourman, clerk of the green cloth to King Charles II.
However, party feeling led him to make an utterly unfounded attack on the celebrated Richard Baxter, whom he charged in an anonymous work with being a "man of blood", for, addressing him, he wrote: "I must tell you in your ear what I have heard, and is commonly reported, that in the late wars you slew a man with your own hand in cold blood".
[5] Baxter was highly indignant at this false charge, and began to write an answer to Boreman's pamphlet, which he abandoned.
Several specimens of his poetry are met with among the loyal effusions of the university of Cambridge before the troubled times of the English Civil Wars.
