Benjamin Keach was born 29 February 1640 at Stokeham, in Buckinghamshire, England. <ref>Keach, B. (2005). ''The travels of true godliness: from the beginning of the world to this present day in an apt and pleasant allegory'' (H. Malcom, Ed.). Solid Ground Christian Books.</ref> Keep in mind this was prior to the [[wikipedia:Calendar_(New_Style)_Act_1750|Calendar Act of 1750]]. Benjamin grew up working a trade due to the increasing cost of a liberal education in England. However, his passion for books, reading, and the critical manner in which he read the Scriptures, his employment as a tradesmen proved uncongenial. In fact, this talent led to him joining a Baptist church in the account of silence in the Scriptures on [[infant baptism]]. His piety and talents were quickly recognized, and after about three years, in 1658, he was called to ministry. He would have been around 18 years old at the time. For the first two years of his ministry, he maintained a generally [[Arminian]] view. However, upon coming to London, he learned of another type of Baptist: the [[wikipedia:Reformed_Baptists|Calvinistic Baptists]]. In a few years he came to become Calvinistic in his sentiments and maintained that position for the rest of his life.
