Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventeen Sermons on the Nativity Lancelot Andrews was born in Thames Street, London, in the year 1555; educated at Cooper´s Free School, Radcliffe, and at Merchant Taylors. His industry and ability attracted the notice of Dr Watts, Canon of St. Pauls, who had lately founded some scholarships at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, to one of which he presented this promising scholar. In the year 1576 he became a fellow of his college, and about the same time was made fellow of the newly founded Jesus College at Oxford. His reputation as a scholar was very high, and he is said to have been master of no less than fifteen languages, and to have been thoroughly acquainted with the writings of fathers, schoolmen, casuists, and jurists. After some few years´ occupation at the University he accepted the invitation of the Earl of Huntingdon, "President of the North," to visit him; and his preaching in various places attracted much notice. The favour of Sir Francis Walsingham, minister of Queen Elizabeth, obtained for him preferment first to the parsonage of Alton, then to St. Giles´, Cripplegate, London; to which was shortly added a stall at St. Pauls, and another at Southwell, and the mastership of Pembroke Hall at Cambridge. He found this college at a low ebb, and raised it by his diligence to a much better position, leaving it at last with £1000 in its coffers, which had been empty at his entry upon the office.
