The surviving minutes of the Assembly, which according to a project to have them published "arguably constitute the most important unpublished religious text of seventeenth-century Britain", run to over half a million words and are almost all in Byfield's writing.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life">Life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Adoniram_Byfield&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>He was the third son of <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Byfield" title="Nicholas Byfield">Nicholas Byfield</a>, probably born before 1615. He was educated at <a href="/wiki/Emmanuel_College,_Cambridge" title="Emmanuel College, Cambridge">Emmanuel College, Cambridge</a>, where he matriculated in 1620, and graduated B.A. in 1624.

On 6 July 1643 he was appointed one of the two scribes to the Westminster Assembly, the other being Henry Roborough. Their assistant was <a href="/wiki/John_Wallis" title="John Wallis">John Wallis</a>. The scribes were not members of the assembly of which they kept the record, nor were they at first allowed, like the members, to wear their hats; but in common with the other divines the scribes were entitled to the allowance (irregularly paid) of four shillings a day. For their trouble they received the copyright of the <i><a href="/wiki/Directory_of_Public_Worship" class="mw-redirect" title="Directory of Public Worship">Directory of Public Worship</a></i> (ordered to be published 13 March 1645), which they sold for £400. </p><p>It was during the sitting of the assembly that Byfield obtained first the sinecure rectory, and then the vicarage of <a href="/wiki/Fulham" title="Fulham">Fulham</a>. Isaac Knight succeeded him in the rectory in 1645, and in the vicarage in 1657. At some unknown date between 1649 and 1654 Byfield received an appointment to the rectory of <a href="/wiki/Collingbourn_Ducis" class="mw-redirect" title="Collingbourn Ducis">Collingbourn Ducis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wiltshire" title="Wiltshire">Wiltshire</a>, from which <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Prior" title="Christopher Prior">Christopher Prior</a>, D.D., had been removed. Byfield was not disturbed at the <a href="/wiki/English_Restoration" class="mw-redirect" title="English Restoration">Restoration</a>. </p><p>In 1654 he was nominated one of the assistant commissioners for Wiltshire, under the ordinance of 29 June for ejecting scandalous ministers, and was active among them, for example against <a href="/w/index.php?title=Walter_Bushnell&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Walter Bushnell (page does not exist)">Walter Bushnell</a>, vicar of <a href="/wiki/Box,_Wiltshire" title="Box, Wiltshire">Box</a>, (ejected in 1656).

According to Mitchell, Byfield had published a <a href="/wiki/Catechism" title="Catechism">catechism</a> some years before the assembly met.
