"At the Restoration Clarke (1599-1683) was deputed by the London ministers to congratulate the king; and he took part with Baxter and others in the fruitless Savoy conference. He was ejected in 1662, with two of his sons and four other members of his family. In 1665, with a few other nonconformists, he took the oath against resistance imposed by the Five Mile Act. Judge Keeling, before whom he appeared, congratulated the swearers upon their renunciation of the covenant. Clarke disavowed this interpretation, and to put his motives beyond suspicion retired to Hammersmith 24 April 1666." (DNB) The second work, 'A Geographic Description', contains a significant section on the Americas. Clarke's other works include ‘English Martyrologie,’ (1652); 'An Account of the English Plantations in America' (1670) as well as many biographies.
