Read through all quotes from John Wilkins
As he was ordained he spoke out against the use of penal laws and immediately tried to gather support from other moderate bishops to see what concessions to the nonconformists could be made. In 1661 he was reduced to preacher at Gray's Inn lodging with his friend Seth Ward. Death and legacy
He died in London most likely from the medicines used to treat his kidney stones and stoppage of urine.
Wilkins is one of the few persons to have headed a college at both the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. His personal qualities were brought out and obvious to his contemporaries in reducing political tension in Interregnum Oxford in founding the Royal Society on non-partisan lines and in efforts to reach out to religious nonconformists.
