He officiated abroad, for some years ; and on his return, exerted his powerful talents in favour of his persecuted bre- thren in England. Some time after, he was himself visited with suspension, deprivation and long imprisonment; on which occasion king James interceded with queen Elizabeth in be- half of him and his brethren. On being releas- ed, he was permitted to continue in his situation of governor of the hospital of Warwick, which had been procured for him by the carl of Lei- cester, duri...ng the remainder of his days. That Cartwright was a most acute disputant, is manifest from his controversy with Whitgift ; and that he was a profound theologian, may be presumed from the circumstance of 'his having been pitched upon by Walsingham and others, to answer the Rhemish Testament. When obliged to fly from England, he was invited to draw up a code of discipline for the French re- fugees in Jersey and Guernsey. He was the au- thor of several works besides his controversial writings : and from his great talents and piety, he has obtained the honourable title of the Fa- ther of the Puritans.
