Dury, John, a Scotch divine of the seventeenth century, who laboured with great zeal to reunite the Lutherans with the Calvinists. He published his earliest work on this subject in 1634, and prosecuted his scheme at the Frankfort assembly, in Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Germany, and Switzerland. He was present at the London assembly of divines in 1641. His discouragements in this scheme started another still more impracticable, namely to reunite all Christians by means of a new exposition of the Apocalypse, which he published at Frankfort in 1677. He afterwards retired to the country of Hesse; but the time of his death is unknown. His letter to Peter du Moulin, concerning the state of the churches of England, Scotland, and Ireland, was printed at London in 1658, under the superintendence of Du Moulin, and is extremely curious.
