ARNWAY, JOHN, D.D., a clergyman distinguished for his piety and exemplary charity, was descended of a good family in Shropshire, and inherited a considerable estate. He zealously espoused the cause of King Charles I.; and after suffering imprisonment and the sequestration of his estate during the civil wars, he retired, on the ruin of Charles's cause, to the Hague. There he published, in 1650, a tract entitled Tablet, or Moderation of Charles I., Martyr, with an Alarum to the Subjects of England. From the Hague he went to Virginia, where he died in 1653.
