FURNEAU'X (Philip), a learned EngliOi noncon- 
formift divine, born at d otnels in Devonlhire, in 1726. 
His cl tllical education he received at the free-fehool in 
his native town, at the lame time with the learned Dr. 
Kcnnicott, wi(h whom he contiadted an intimacy and 
friendihip, which laded through life. Being defigned for 
the profedion of the minidry, he was fent at a proper age 
to an academical inditution in London, which was fup- 
ported by the funds bequeathed by Mr. Coward. Soon 
after he commenced public preacher he was chofen af- 
fidant to Mr. Henry Read, pador of a prelbyterian con¬ 
gregation in St. Thontas’s, Southwark; and afterwards 
lie became one of the Sunday-evening lecturers at Salters’, 
hall, in the city of London. In 1753 he fucceeded the 
reverend Mr. Lowman as pador of the congregation at 
Clapham, in the county of Surrey. In this fituation he 
continued his miniderial fervices for more than twenty- 
three years, and was rei’peffed for his extendv'e learningand 
eminent talents by the dilfenteTs in general. During this 
time he was chofen one of the trudees of thofe funds, to 
which he was partly indebted for his education; and re¬ 
ceived the diploma of dodtor of divinity from one of our 
northern univerfities. In 1777 he was attacked by a ma¬ 
lady, w Inch terminated in a derangement of his mental 
powers, from which he never recovered to the time of liis 
death in 1783, when he had nearly completed the fifty- 
feventli year of his age. He was the author of Letters 
to the Honourable Mr. Judice Blackdone, concerning his 
Expofition of the Adi of Toleiation, and fome Podtions 
relating to religious Liberty, in bis celebrated Commen¬ 
taries on the La ws of England, 8vo. 1770. The other trea- 
tife was an Elfay on Toleration, Svo. 1778 ; in which he 
had a particular view to an application to parliament, for 
that relief in matters of fubfcrij.tion, which was obtained 
by an add paded in 1779.
