FISK JOHN, educated at Emanuel College, Cambridge, came to New England, 1637, preached three years at Salem, then removed to Wenham, where he resided fourteen years. In 1656, he, with the greatest part of his church, removed to Chelmsford. He died, Jan. 14, 1676, aged 75.. He was an able physician as well as a useful preacher. When he was silenced in England on account of his nonconformity, he studied physick, and after a proper examination, he obtained a license for publick practice. While he was at Salem he was an instructor of youth; among his scholars was the famous sir George Downing, whose father had made his settlement in that town. Mr. Fisk published a catechism which he entitled, "the olive branch watered," which was said to be a useful work; yet he chose the assembly's catechism for his publick expositions, which he went over in discourses before his afternoon sermons on the Sabbath. He died of a complication of ails, and is compared on this account to Calvin, who was troubled with as many infirmities, as in different subjects might have supplied a hospital, Mr. Fisk left several children. One was settled in the ministry at Braintree. This gentleman was graduated at Harvard College, 1662; he had a son who was graduated, 1708, who was invited to settle in the new church, Summer street, Boston, but the division was so great, that he declined their call. The ministers of Boston were very desirous Mr. F. should be fixed in the town. He afterwards was minister of the first church in Salem; ordained, 1718 ; was dismissed from the ministry, 1745, and died, 1770, aged 81. He was father of the late gen. Fisk.
