"John Macgowan (26 October 1726 – 25 November 1780) was a Scottish Baptist minister and author. Macgowan was born in Edinburgh, received an education, and was apprenticed to a weaver. He subsequently settled in Bridge Street, Warrington, as a baker. He had early become a Wesleyan; he now joined the Methodist movement as a preacher. At a later period he was attracted by the Independents, but finally joined the Particular Baptists. He ministered at the old baptist chapel at Hill Cliff, near Warrington, and then at Bridgnorth. In September 1766 Macgowan became pastor of the old Baptist meeting-house in Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate, London, opened by William Kiffin in 1687. Here he remained until his death. His preaching, despite its Calvinistic tone, became popular.[1] Macgowan's congregation were typically artisans. On its behalf he signed the petition of the Protestant Association of London, in the prelude to the Gordon Riots.. Priestcraft Defended; a Sermon occasioned by the Expulsion of Six Young Gentlemen from the University of Oxford, for praying, reading, and expounding the Scriptures; humbly dedicated to the Vice-Chancellor and the Heads of Houses, by the Shaver. This pamphlet, written in a satirical vein upon a text taken from the "St. James's Chronicle" of Thursday, 17 March 1768, relating to the expulsion of Erasmus Middleton and other "preaching tradesmen" from Oxford, ran through eleven editions in eight months. It was followed by A Further Defence of Priestcraft, being a Practical Improvement of the Shaver's Sermon on the Expulsion of Six Students, &c, occasioned by a Vindication of that pious act, by a Member of the University, 5th edit. 1768. This was answered by The Shaver Shaved by a Matriculated Barber, London, 1769. The Shaver's New Sermon for the Fast Day, by Pasquin Shaveblock, 5th edit. 1795, appears to be by Macgowan, although the preface to this edition is dated "Barbers' Hall, 17 Feb. 1795", five years after his death.."
