POLHILL, EDWARD (1622- ?), religious writer, son of Edward Polhill (d1654), rector of Ellington, Kent, by his second wife, Jane, daughter of William Newton of Lewes, was born in 1622. He entered Gray's Inn on 16 June 1638-9, and was called to the bar (FOSTER, GRAY'S Inn Register), but he chiefly divided his time between the care of his family estates in Burwash, Sussex, where he was justice of the peace, and the compilation of religious tracts, somewhat Calvinistic in temper, but supporting the established church. "It was hard to say which excelled, the gentleman or the divine" {Life of Phil. Henry, p. 422). Lazarus Seaman claimed "knowledge of him from his childhood," and "certified of his domestical piety" (Divine Will, preface). Polhill died about 1694.(note he died 1689)
