John Penry (1559 29 May 1593) was long celebrated as a pioneer of Welsh nonconformity, though more recent scholarship has argued that this status is largely a retrospective creation and that Penry s influence on the church in Wales was likely negligible. Penry left his native Wales in 1580 to matriculate at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where Martinist target Andrew Perne was College master. Penry decided against ordination, suggesting that he already disagreed with established ecclesiology, and returned to Wales, where his travels convinced him of the need to publicize the cause of church reform. His earliest publications, the pamphlets A treatise containing the aequity of an humble supplication (Oxford, 1587) and An exhortation unto the governours and people of Wales (1588), deplored the spirituall miserie of his native country (Treatise, 14), a deprivation he believed was largely the fault of the bishops, the butchers and stranglers of the soules of my deare countrimen (Exhortation, 18). Penry spent the eighteen months from spring 1588 to autumn 1589 as a leading agent in the clandestine operation that published the Marprelate tracts. In October 1589, with the investigative net closing in, Penry fled to Scotland; the Privy Council declared him an enemy to the state and issued a warrant for his arrest. Penry remained hiding in Scotland until the summer of 1591, when he risked a trip to London to see if the Coppinger/Hacket conspiracy was truly the beginning of the final reformation of England. It proved instead a mad fiasco, and on the day Hacket was executed Penry once more left hastily for Scotland. After a year in hiding, in September 1592 Penry once again tempted fate by returning to England. He had by this point converted from Presbyterianism to Separatism, and in London he joined the Separatists Francis Johnson and John Greenwood. Along with many other members of their congregation, Penry was captured in March 1593.
