#5 John Bunyan, wrote most famous book ever and uber learned, John Owen said he would give up all of his education if he could preach "like that tinker." Spent 12 years in prison because he would not quit preaching.
#4 Jonathan Edwards. Studied 13 hours a day, and when he preached, people 
in the crowd would mozy on over to a tent pole and hold on for dear life thinking the ground was going to open up and suck them into hell. And true to many prophets, they kicked him out of his church after 25 years for having the audacity to require regeneration to participate in the Lord's Supper.
