A prominent Congregationalist minister in the Boston area like his father Henry Flynt (d. 1668) before and his son Henry Flynt (1675-1760) after him (Dunn, 1968, iv). By 1675, he was pastor at Dorchester and later wrote the preface to his uncle Leondard Hoar's posthumous Sting of Death and Death Unstung (Ibid., 14). After proceeding M.A. in 1667, "he preached on a trial basis at Braintree, where some of the congregation detected 'divers heterodoxies, delivered, and that without caution, in his public preaching.' He was vindicated, however, and, while he did not inherit the paternal pulpit, was ordained at Dorchester in 1671" (Ibid., Dunn, 15).
