Robert Traill was born in 1642. He became a clergyman and spent most of his career in hiding from the authorities. He was pronounced a rebel for his friendships with Puritan figures such as James Guthrie, as well as writing controversial theological material. After being condemned to burn at the stake, he escaped and went into hiding. Traill was caught once and sent to prison for three months. He was able to return to London and pastored there until his death in 1716.
