From the library of Richard Meade Ballymartle. Lancelot Andrewes 1555 25 September 1626 was an English bishop and scholar who held high positions in the Church of England during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. During the latter's reign Andrewes served successively as Bishop of Chichester of Ely and of Winchester and oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible or Authorized Version. In the Church of England he is commemorated on 25 September with a lesser festival. Andrewes was considered next to James Ussher to be the most learned churchman of his day and enjoyed a great reputation as an eloquent and impassioned preacher but the stiffness and artificiality of his style render his sermons unsuited to modern taste. Nevertheless there are passages of extraordinary beauty and profundity. His doctrine was High Church and in his life he was humble pious and charitable. He continues to influence religious thinkers to the present day and was cited as an influence by T. S. Eliot among others. Eliot also borrowed almost word for word and without his usual acknowledgement a passage from Andrewes' 1622 Christmas Day sermon for the opening of his poem "Journey of the Magi". In his 1997 novel Timequake Kurt Vonnegut suggested that Andrewes was "the greatest writer in the English language" citing as proof the first few verses of the 23rd Psalm. His translation work has also led him to appear as a character in three plays dealing with the King James Bible Howard Brenton's Anne Boleyn 2010 Jonathan Holmes' Into Thy Hands 2011 and David Edgar's Written on the Heart 2011.

163583350London c1635. Presumed from the Third Edition of Sermons. Disbound This had been shipped rolled in a tube but is suitable for flat presentation or binding. Fair. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 12 inches. Pagination is 923 to 932 with page 926 and 927 misnumbered as 916 and 919. The flow of the text indicates that these are not pages from a different document but are misnumbered through a printer's error. Text is in English with some Latin phrasing included. Discoloration and some tearing at top of pages. Illustrations on page 923 925 and 932. Text has some printed marginal comments and references. These five sheets/10 pages were removed from a larger work which is believed to be the third edition London 1635 of his Sermons and the pagination is consistent with Gunpowder Plot sermons being found on pages 900 to 1008 of that volume. In 1612 Andrewes selection of this text is unusual coming from Lamentations 3: 22: "It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not." He contrasts the mercies that Jeremiah witnessed with those enjoyed by England. His theme is that the mercy God showed to England supersedes that for the Israelites and he carefully notes that mercy should then follow from those who have received mercy. Weighted so heavily on the side of mercy especially in the textual embedding of the mercy in terms of imminent suffering the sermon's emphasis requires hearers to adjust their understanding of God's intervention on their behalf. It marks a shift toward addressing the important point of obligations. Due to this shift it is grouped among the latter sermons. Prince Henry's mortal illness prevented the king from attending. It was the only Gunpowder sermon James ever missed. Lancelot Andrewes 1555 - 25 September 1626 was an English bishop and scholar who held high positions in the Church of England during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. During the latter's reign Andrewes served successively as Bishop of Chichester of Ely and of Winchester and oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible or Authorized Version. In the Church of England he is commemorated on 25 September with a lesser festival. On the accession of James I Andrewes rose into great favor. He assisted at James's coronation and in 1604 took part in the Hampton Court Conference. Andrewes' name is the first on the list of divines appointed to compile the Authorized Version of the Bible. He headed the "First Westminster Company" which took charge of the first books of the Old Testament Genesis to 2 Kings. He acted furthermore as a sort of general editor for the project as well. Following the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot Andrewes was asked to prepare a sermon to be presented to the king in 1606 Sermons Preached upon the V of November in Lancelot Andrewes XCVI Sermons 3rd. Edition London1635 pp. 889890 900-1008 . In this sermon Lancelot Andrewes justified the need to commemorate the deliverance and defined the nature of celebrations. This sermon became the foundation of celebrations which continue 400 years later. Andrewes preached regularly and submissively before James I and his court on the anniversaries of the Gowrie Conspiracy and the Gunpowder Plot. These sermons were used to promulgate the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings. In 1609 he published Tortura Torti a learned work which grew out of the Gunpowder Plot controversy. In 1617 he accompanied James I to Scotland with a view to persuading the Scots that Episcopacy was preferable to Presbyterianism. He was made dean of the Chapel Royal and translated by the confirmation of his election to that see in February 1619 to Winchester a diocese that he administered with great success. Following his death in 1626 in his Southwark palace he was mourned alike by leaders in church and state and buried beside the high altar at St. Saviour's now Southwark Cathedral then in the Diocese of Winchester. Ninety-six of his sermons were published in 1631 by command of Charles I have been occasionally reprinted and are considered among the most rhetorically developed and polished sermons of the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. Because of these Andrewes has been commemorated by literary greats such as T. S. Eliot. In his 1997 novel Timequake Kurt Vonnegut suggested that Andrewes was "the greatest writer in the English language" citing as proof the first few verses of the 23rd Psalm. His translation work has also led him to appear as a character in three plays dealing with the King James Bible Howard Brenton's Anne Boleyn 2010 Jonathan Holmes' Into Thy Hands 2011 and David Edgar's Written on the Heart 2011. unknown
