Joseph Milner Joseph Milner , an English evangelical divine , has a reputation particularly for his work on The History of the Church of Christ .Life He was born at Leeds and educated at Leeds Grammar School and Catharine Hall, Cambridge . On graduation he went to Thorp Arch, West Yorkshire as assistant in a school kept by Christopher Atkinson, the vicar of the parish, received holy orders , and became Atkinson's curate. At Thorp Arch he made a lifelong friendship with the son of the vicar, Miles Atkinson , who subsequently became a leader of the evangelical party and vicar of St Paul's , Leeds. Still in deacon's orders Milner left Thorp Arch to become headmaster of Hull Grammar School . There his pupils included William Dealtry , Samuel Marsden , George Pryme , Thomas Perronet Thompson , and Peter William Watson . Milner was in 1768 elected afternoon lecturer at Holy Trinity Church, Hull . He now paid for the education of his brother Isaac Milner . In 1770 he became a follower of the rising evangelical school, suspected of Methodism , and the nature of his congregation at the High Church changed. He also undertook the charge of North Ferriby . Hull became a centre of evangelicalism. Milner's chief friends were the Rev. James Stillingfleet of Hotham , and the Rev. William Richardson of York , who both shared his religious views. In 1792 he had a severe attack of fever; in 1797 the mayor and corporation offered him the living of Holy Trinity , mainly through the efforts of William Wilberforce , but Milner fell ill and died on 15 November 1797. He was buried in Holy Trinity Church , and a monument to his memory was erected in it.Works Milner's major work was the History of the Church of Christ . He lived to complete the first three volumes, and two more were added by his brother, Isaac Milner, dean of Carlisle, who re-edited the whole work in 1810. John Scott published a new continuation in three volumes. Samuel Roffey Maitland criticised Milner's history on the Waldenses ; the Rev. John King defended Milner, but Maitland published Strictures on Milner's Church History . A controversy ensued, and the Milner's work had a new edition, published by the Rev. Thomas Grantham in 1847. Other works published by Milner in his lifetime were:, 1781. Some Remarkable Passages in the Life of William Howard, who died at North Ferriby on 2 March 1784 , 1785. Essays on several Religious Subjects, chiefly tending to illustrate the Scripture Doctrine of the Influence of the Holy Spirit , 1789. He published essays and numerous sermons. He also edited, with William Richardson, the Posthumous Works of Thomas Adam . After Milner's death many of his sermons were found, and these were published in four volumes under the title of Practical Sermons , with a memoir by the editor, Isaac Milner; and the second ], edited by the Rev. W. Richardson. These two were later republished together. A third volume was edited by the Rev. John Fawcett , and a fourth, On the Epistles to the Seven Churches , the Millennium, the Church Triumphant , and the 130th Psalm , by Edward Bickersteth . In 1855 Milner's Essentials of Christianity, theoretically and practically considered , which had been left in manuscript, and had been revised by his brother, was edited for the Religious Tract Society by Mary Milner , the orphan niece of whom Joseph Milner had taken charge, and writer of her uncle Isaac's Life .
