Henry Newman SPCK administrator.

1708 appointment showed that the SPCK was not under the thumb of the Tories, and led to moves aimed at ousting its activities as niches for Jacobites.

1719 on good terms with Cotton Mather, as correspondence shows, who had no time for the SPG, and was in touch with Benjamin Colman, another New England Puritan. Dominant in the SPCK of 1720s and 1730s, with Sir John Philipps, 4th Baronet.

1733 reprimanded by the SPCK for trying to handle affairs in Madras around Benjamin Schulze on his own. He had a major preoccupation with the mission at Tranquebar.
