fird her esteem for his gifts ami piet.v liy :i]>- I>(]inting him one of her chaphiins in ordinary and Dean of Westminster. He rose still hi^:hpr in favor with King James, who was well qua li tied to appreciate his extensive learning and peculiar style of oratory. He attended the Hampton Court Conference, as one of the ecclesiastical commissioners, and took part in the translation of the Bible. The portion on which he was engaged was the first twelve books of the Old Testament. In KiUo he was consecrated Bishop of Chichester. In ItiOO he was translated to the see of Ely, and appointed one of his Majesty's privy councillors both for England and Scotland. To the latter country he accompanied the King in 1017, as one of the royal instruments for persuading the Scotch of the siiperioritj' of episcopacy over pres- bytery. In 1019 he was translated to Winches- ter. He died in Winchester House, Southwark, London, on September 25, 1626. Bishop An- drewes was, with the exception of Ussher, the most learned English theologian of his time. As a preacher he was regarded by his contemporaries as unrivaled; but the excellent qualities of his discourses are apt to suffer much depreciation in modern judgment from the extremely arti- ficial and frigid character of the style. His prin- cipal works published during his life were two treatises in reply to Cardinal Bellarmin, in de- fense of the right of princes over ecclesiastical assemblies. His other works consist of sermons, lectures, and manuals of devotion. Bishop An- drewes was the most eminent of that Anglican school in the seventeenth ccntur,y of which the nineteenth witnessed a revival under the name of Puseyism. Its distinctive peculiarities were high views of ecclesiastical authority, and of the effi- cacy of sacraments, ceremonies, and apostolic succession, and extreme opposition to Puritan- Ism. His works are in the Librar.v of Anglo- Catholic Theologj', Oxford, 1S41-54, "ll volumes. Of most fame are his Deiwtions (many editions, London, 1898) ; Seventeen Sermons on Ihe Ka- tivitii (1887). For his life, consult: Whvte (K(linl>ursh, 1896), and M, Wood (N'ew York, 1898).
