 Edward Herbert of Cherbury [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Edward Herbert, was born at Eyton in Shropshire on March 3, 1583.
Herbert's expressions are not quite consistent, for this awakening of mental activity is itself an effect upon mind; but perhaps he might have defended his doctrine by appealing to the harmony which exists between faculty and object.
Herbert made little if any use of the tests by which he might have shown that certain common notions are presupposed in the constitution of experience, and thus failed to carry out the theory of knowledge of which at times he had a clear view.

A younger brother of Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury, a notable secular metaphysical poet, George in 1610 sent his mother for New Year's two sonnets on the theme that the love of God is a fitter subject for verse than the love of woman, a foreshadowing of his poetic and vocational bent.

 Life of Edward, Lord Herbert of Chirbury (1582/3-1648)
Herbert's system was not really Christian, and by the beginning of the next century he was designated "the father of English deism" by Thomas Halyburton, writing in 1714.
As a philosopher, Herbert is difficult—his knowledge is encyclopaedic and he loves displaying it, but his Latin style is often rather laboured, complex, and difficult, perhaps due to the fact that he employed Thomas Master, a particularly long-winded Latinist, as an adviser about the language.
John Donne is said by Johnson to have thought that Herbert's poetry was a bit over-complex, and threatened to write a poem on Prince Henry that "match'd Sir Edward Herbert in obscurity." Herbert made a real contribution to rationalist epistemology, and he deserves more attention than he gets.

He was a friend of Grotius, Casaubon, and Gassendi, and during a long sojourn in France made himself acquainted with the thought of Montaigne, of Bodin, and especially of Charron.
Herbert's influence disappeared in the storms of the Puritan Revolution, and Deism found the most important impetus supplied to its progress in ecclesiastical circles.
The learning of the Renaissance had served to incline the clergy of the Establishment to a moderate rational theology, and in the conflict between Puritans and Anglicans, and between Roman Catholics and Protestants, it became common to invoke Reason as arbiter.

 Edward Herbert Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Widely recognized as an influential philosopher because of his seminal tract on deism, De Veritate (1624), Edward Herbert has nevertheless remained a poet known primarily by association: as the older brother of poet-divine George Herbert and as an imitator of John Donne's secular Metaphysical poetry.
Critics disagree about the merit of Edward Herbert's poetry, some troubled by its sometimes perplexing syntax and peculiar diction, others by its impersonal abstractness and lack of engaging imagery.
Moore Smith, editor of the standard edition (1923) of Herbert's poetry, disagrees, however, and steadfastly contends that "in poetic feeling and art, Edward Herbert soars above his brother George." Admittedly, the corpus of Herbert's poetry includes works of uneven quality, but Herbert's persistently abstract and philosophical mode, with individualistic and often iconoclastic perspectives, gi.....
