given to the Crown without lessening the Prerogative … by W. Killigrew. To which is prefixed The late Honourable Sir James Sheenes Letter on the same Subject,’ no place or date [London, 1663], 4to, 16 pp. In London, 1684, appeared ‘The Artless Midnight Thoughts of a Gentleman at Court; who for many Years built on Sand, which every Blast of cross Fortune has defaced; but now he has laid new Foundations on the Rock of his Salvation, which no Storms can shake; and will last out the conflagration of the world, when time shall melt into eternity,’ 8vo, 1684; 2nd edition, 12mo, 1684. The first dedication to Charles II bears no name, but the second to James II is signed W. Killigrew. Following this came ‘Midnight and Daily Thoughts, in Prose and Verse, by Sir W. Killigrew,’ London, 1694, 8vo (see Sir E. Brydges, Restituta, ii. 130–6). Giles Jacob (Poetical Register, i. 157–8), like the anonymous author of a ‘Continuation of Langbaine,’ p. 83, assigns to Killigrew the ‘Imperial Tragedy; taken out of a later Play and very much altered by a Gentleman for his own Diversion,’ &c., London, 1669, folio. It was acted at the Nursery in the Barbican. A sonnet by Killigrew is in Lawes's ‘Ayres and Dialogues for one, two, and three voices,’ two books, 1653–5.
In addition to these works Killigrew is responsible for the whole or portions of:
- ‘An Answer to the Objections made by some Commoners of Lincolnshire against Robert, Earl of Lincolnshire, and his Participants concerning the Drayning of those Fens which lye between Lincoln, Berne, and Boston. Set forth by Sir W. Killigrew. Printed for the Author, 1647,’ 4to.
- ‘Certaine Papers concerning the Earl of Lindsey his Fennes. … With a Paper directed to Sir W. Killigrew, and signed William Howell. And also an Answer to that Paper by Sir W. Killigrew,’ no place or date [August 1649], 4to, 8 pp.
- ‘Sir William Killigrew his Answer to the Fennemen's objections against the Earl of Lindsey his drayning in Lincolnshire. Printed at London, 1649,’ 4to, single sheet and a title-page.
- ‘The Rioters in Lindsey and their Abettors,’ single sheet, no place or date [1654], fol.
- ‘The late Earl of Lindsey his Title,’ &c., a single sheet, n.d., signed ‘Henry Heron, W. Killigrew, 1 July 1661.’
Further contributions to the controversy by William Killigrew, son of Sir William, appeared in 1695 and 1705. In Heber's ‘Catalogue,’ pt. v., is a pamphlet privately printed for the judges, entitled ‘Proofs that Jane Berkeley and Sir W. Killigrew combined to defraud Richard Lygon of an estate left him by H. Killigrew;’ ‘Letters from Col. Doleman to Col. W. Killigrew’ are in the ‘Thurloe State Papers,’ and ‘Letters from Killigrew to Archbishop Sancroft and Tobias Rustat, under-housekeeper at Hampton Court, dated respectively 31 Dec. 1677 and 1682,’ are among the Tanner MSS. in the Bodleian Library.
A portrait of Killigrew was in the first Exhibition of National Portraits.

He was a layman, a personal friend of William Whiston, whom he supplied with evidence of cures effected through ‘prayer, fasting, and annointing with oyl’ by a unitarian baptist minister, William Barron (d. 7 Feb. 1731, aged 51). Killingworth wrote on the perpetuity of baptism, against Thomas Emlyn [q. v.]; in favour of adult baptism, against John Taylor, D.D., and Michajah Towgood; and of close communion, against James Foster [q. v.], John Wiche, and Charles Bulkley [q. v.] He died in 1778, leaving a considerable endowment to the Priory Yard general baptist chapel, Norwich.
