John Dury was a Scottish Calvinist minister and a significant intellectual of the English Civil War period. He made efforts to re-unite the Calvinist and Lutheran wings of Protestantism, hoping to succeed when he moved to Kassel in 1661, but he did not accomplish this. He was a prolific preacher, pamphleteer and writer. He was the fourth son of the exiled Scottish presbyterian minister Robert Durie; John was brought up in the Netherlands, at Leiden, attending the university there. He was in Cologne, at the Walloon Church, 1624-6, and subsequently at Elbl¿g. He was a close associate of Samuel Hartlib, a native of Elbl¿g, whom he met there, and shared his interest in education. According to Richard Popkin , another key influence was Joseph Mede, from whom Dury took a method of scriptural interpretation. While at Elbing he translated an anti-trinitarian work of Samuel Przypkowski into English
