ALSOP, VINCENT (c. English Nonconformist divine, was ejected from his living under the Act of Uniformity in 1662. He had a great reputation as a pamphleteer in his day. Even with Dr. Goodman and Dr. Stillingfleet as opponents he held his own. His Mischief of Impositions (168o), in answer to Stil lingfleet's Mischief of Separation, and his Melius Inquirendum (1679), in answer to Goodman's Compassionate Inquiry, remain historical landmarks in the history of Nonconformity.
