| Brownists were
followers of Robert Browne (1550-1633) a separatist clergyman who was one of the earliest
advocates of the Congregational principles which were later taken to America by the
Pilgrim Fathers. During the 16th century Brownists were in direct conflict with the Church
of England on a number of issues, particularly in the belief that church members should
have a voice in choosing who should interpret the Scriptures for them.
