Samuel Gott (20 January 1614 – 18 December 1671) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons of England between 1645 and 1648 and between 1660 and 1661.
[1] In June 1661 Gott is said to have reported treasonable words to the Privy Council in an attempt to find favour with the Crown.
When he arrived, Tully went out of the room to prevent anyone assisting, and Machell beat Gott so badly he broke his arm.
In this matter King Charles II wrote to his Chief Justice Sir Robert Hyde and others wishing them to levy these fines in full rigour by way of example.
[4] Gott wrote several religious works, including (so it is claimed) the Nova Solyma which was at one time attributed to John Milton.
