In 1686, after two years of school, he entered Clare College, Cambridge. He was very poor since his father died shortly before he went to university. William attended Newton 's lectures while at Cambridge and he showed great promise in mathematics. He obtained his B.A. in 1690, then obtained a fellowship in 1691, two years later he was awarded an M.A. and was ordained in the same year. He was encouraged by David Gregory at this time to study Newton 's Principia. He returned to Cambridge, intending to take mathematics pupils, but ill health made him give up teaching. From 1694 to 1698 he was chaplain to the bishop of Norwich. During this period he wrote A New Theory of the Earth (1696), in which he claimed that the biblical stories of the creation, flood etc. could be explained scientifically as descriptions of events with historical bases. For example he claimed that the biblical flood was due to a comet hitting the Earth, an interesting theory given the current interest in theories of this type.

He next became chaplain to John Moore (1646-1714), the learned bishop of Norwich, from whom he received the living of Lowestoft in . He had already given several proofs of his noble but over-scrupulous conscientiousness, and at the same time of a propensity to paradox. His New Theory of the Earth (1696), although destitute of sound scientific foundation, obtained the praise of both Newton and Locke , the latter of whom justly classed the author among those who, if not adding much to our knowledge, "At least bring some new things to our thoughts." In he resigned his living to become deputy at Cambridge to Sir Isaac Newton, whom two years later he succeeded as

WILLIAM WHISTON WHISTON, WILLIAM Whiston is a striking example of the association of an entirely paradoxical bent of mind with proficiency in the exact sciences. He also illustrates the possibility of arriving at rationalistic conclusions in theology without the slightest tincture of the rationalistic temper. He was not only paradoxical to the verge of craziness, but intolerant to the verge of bigotry. " I had a mind," he says, " to hear Dr (John) Gill preach. But, being informed that he had written a folio book on the Canticles, I declined to go to hear him." When not engaged in controversy he was not devoid of good sense. He often saw men and things very clearly, and some of his ban mots are admirable. WHISTON JOSEPH WHITAKER
