William Prynne Life story
William Prynne, an English lawyer, voluble author, polemicist and political figure, was a prominent Puritan opponent of church policy under William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. His views were presbyterian, but he became known in the 1640s as an Erastian, arguing for overall state control of religious matters.
