From Wiki: Robert Wild (1617–1659) was an English clergyman and poet, known for his wit and controversial writings. Despite his presbyterian views, Wild held royalist in political beliefs and was eventually evicted from the position in 1662.. John Dryden called him 'the Wither of the city.' He wrote extensively, often anonymously and controversially. As a youth, Wild held strong Puritan beliefs, and was appointed to the living of Aynhoe, Northamptonshire, by order of the House of Commons on 22 July 1646. Wild's reputation for his wit and controversial views gave his friend a renowned theologian Richard Baxter so much discomfort that he visited Aynhoe, intending to rebuke him. However, after having sat in the corner of the church, and listened to his sermon, he changed his mind and instead asked Wild to rebuke him sharply, for having listened to the reports! Wild was ejected by the Act of Uniformity 1662. He lived at Aynhoe a year or two after 1662, supported amongst others by Sir John Baber, physician to King Charles II, to whom, for a timely gift of ten crowns, Wild addressed The Grateful Nonconformist (1665). Later Wild was living at Oundle. He was indicted in July 1669 at Warwick and Coventry assizes for keeping a conventicle. Robert wild notable work is ''Iter Boreale''.
