'''Joseph Caryl''' (November 1602 – 25 February 1673) was an English [ejected minister](/source/ejected_minister).<ref>{{cite ODNB|id=4846|title=Caryl, Joseph|first=P. S.|last=Seaver}}</ref>

==Life==

He was born in [London](/source/London), educated at [Merchant Taylors' School](/source/Merchant_Taylors'_School%2C_Northwood), and graduated at [Exeter College, Oxford](/source/Exeter_College%2C_Oxford), and became preacher at [Lincoln's Inn](/source/Lincoln's_Inn). He frequently preached before the [Long Parliament](/source/Long_Parliament), and was a member of the [Westminster Assembly](/source/Westminster_Assembly) in 1643. By order of the parliament he attended [Charles I](/source/Charles_I_of_England) in [Holmby House](/source/Holmby_House), and in 1650 he was sent with [John Owen](/source/John_Owen_(theologian)) to accompany [Cromwell](/source/Oliver_Cromwell) to [Scotland](/source/Scotland). In 1662, following the [Restoration](/source/English_Restoration), he was ejected from his church of [St Magnus-the-Martyr](/source/St_Magnus-the-Martyr) near [London Bridge](/source/London_Bridge).  He continued, however, to minister to an Independent congregation in London until his death in March 1673, when [John Owen](/source/John_Owen_(theologian)) succeeded him.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}

==Works==
His piety and learning are displayed in his commentary on [Job](/source/Job_(Biblical_figure)) (12 vols., 1651–1666; 2nd edition, 2 vols., fol. 1676–1677).{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} It was first published in parts from 1650 by Matthew and [Mary Simmons](/source/Mary_Simmons). Their son, Samuel, committed himself to publish it as a single work and Mary transferred the rights to him in 1673. However it took several years to be ready and it was published in two volumes in 1676 and 1677.<ref>{{Cite ODNB |title=Matthew Simmons (et al) |date=2004-09-23 |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/69230 |editor-last=Matthew |editor-first=H.
