Caleb Evans (1736-1791) was a Particular (Reformed) Baptist in Bristol, England, at Broadmead.
His sermon, preached on the anniversary of William Prince of Orange's arrival at Torbay in 1688, and with American independence on the horizon, is on GoogleBooks here. It's brilliant.
Evans' lengthy gravestone inscription in Latin includes the words: Libertatis amore flagrans, jura hominum audacter propugnabat, which in English is: Burning with the love of liberty, he boldly defended the rights of men.
(PS 'theology of liberty' is not the same as 'liberation theology')
