John Hales John Hales (19 April 1584 – 19 May 1656) was a 17th-century English preacher and author whose works were collected

and published under the title 'Golden Remains'. In 1642, he was ejected from his stall as canon of Windsor by the parliamentary committee, due

to a controversial work intitled “A Tract Concerning Schisme and Schismatiques”. Hales hid himself for nine weeks in a private lodging in Eton, living on brown bread and beer at a cost of sixpence a week. On his refusal to take the engagement of all offers of ecclesiastical preferment, in 1649 he was formally dispossessed of his fellowship.
