John Collins (c. 1632–1687) was an English Independent minister. BiographyJohn Collins was born in England, but brought up in New England, where his father Edward became a deacon of the congregational church at Cambridge, Massachusetts. He graduated at Harvard College in 1649, and became a fellow there. In 1653 he returned to Britain, as a preacher in Scotland.{{sfn|Gordon|1887|p=370}}[1] In 1659 Collins was acting as chaplain to General George Monck, whom he accompanied from Scotland to London. Monk dismissed his Independent chaplains in March 1660, when he turned to the Presbyterians. Collins held no preferment at the date of the Uniformity Act 1662, but is included by Edmund Calamy among the "silenced ministers".{{sfn|Gordon|1887|p=370}} Subsequently he succeeded Thomas Mallory (ejected from the lectureship of St. Michael's, Crooked Lane) as pastor of a congregational church in Lime Street, London. He was also one of the Pinners' Hall lecturers. He died on 3 December 1687.{{sfn|Gordon|1887|p=370}} WorksAccording to Calamy, Collins published no separate work, but:{{sfn|Gordon|1887|p=370}} - furnished a sermon to the London Farewell Sermons (1663), 8vo;
