AMBROSE, Isaac, an eminent Presbyterian minister, was educated at Brazen-nose College, Oxford, where he took the degree of bachelor of arts, and became minister of Garstang, and afterwards of Preston in Lancashire, whence he was ejected for nonconformity in 1662. It was usual for him to retire every year for a month into a little hut in a wood, where he shunned all society, and devoted himself to religious contemplation. Dr Calamy observes, that he had a very strong presentiment of the approach of death, and took a formal leave of his friends at their houses a little before his departure; and on the last night of his life he sent his discourse concerning angels to the press. The next day he shut himself up in his parlour, where, to the great surprise and regret of all who saw him, he was found just expiring. He died in 1663-4, in the 72d year of his age. He wrote several other books, as the Prima, Media, et Ultima, or the First, Middle, and last Things; War with Devils; Looking unto Jesus, &c.
