SPARKLES OF GLORY, or some beams of the Morning-Star; wherein are many discoveries as to truth, and peace, to the establishment, and pure enlargement of a Christian in Spirit & Truth. Printed in 1647. John Saltmarsh, 1612-1647, studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Around 1643 he began to voice his fundamental opposition to all empty forms of the Established Church, having given up his living at Heslerton because of his principles against tithe-taking. Early in 1645, he took appointment as Rector of Brasted, in Kent, but refused the income. In the last three years of his life Saltmarsh established himself in positions that made him a favorite target of the Presbyterian supporters who wanted nothing more but to see him imprisoned. He became known as a vigorous advocate of religious toleration and liberty of conscience, of Free and Sovereign Grace, and a loyal supporter of Cromwell's New Model Army. About June 1646 Saltmarsh became an Army Chaplain to the forces of General Fairfax.
