Dates occasionally appear in titles in this manuscript (1625 and 1631). One of her sources was printed in 1633 (John Preston's "Sins overthrow"). Hastings died in 1633.) Elizabeth Hastings (Author, scribe) Item 14 (Table), fols 22r-25v Lancelot Andrewes (Author) [On fols 22r-23v are a series of charts. The first (on fol. 22r) is headed in one column, ""the happynes of ye Godly"" and lists Psalm 1:2 and Psalm 3:3-5. The second heading on that page is ""the vnhappynes of ye vngodly"", and in that column is just ""1 6"" (perhaps Psalm 1:6). A third column in the far right of fol. 22r lists a few Psalm chapters and verses. The page is otherwise mostly blank. The chart on fol. 22v is more extensive, with books, chapters, and verses listed. The chart on fol. 23r has books, chapters, and verses in the left hand column, then the main heading is: ""Bishop of Winchester Leafe"" with occasional notes beneath it (including references to pages 25, 35, and 38). Another column on the far right of fol. 23r consists of biblical references and notes. Fol. 23v is mostly blank but contains one heading: ""Hope: v. 15"". The reference to the Bishop of Winchester is to Lancelot Andrewes, and specifically to XCVI. Sermons by the Right Honorable and Reverend Father in God, Lancelot Andrewes, late Lord Bishop of Winchester (1629). Hastings refers first to page 25 beside the marginal biblical quotation to Colossians 2:9. She quotes simply the words ""and will allso"" which appear on p. 25 of the printed volume in the context of a passage discussing how Christ was sent to humanity in the fullness of time (""And well also might it be called the fullnesse of time in another regard.""). This comes from the fourth sermon in the volume, on Galatians 4:4-5 (though it is listed as Galatians 3:4-5). The second reference to Andrewes appears in the fifth sermon of the volume on Luke 2:10-11. Hastings has extracted and condensed a passage on the joy in hope from p. 35. Finally she refers to p. 38, a section from the same sermon which discusses Christ as saviour. Early in his career, in 1586, Andrewes was appointed chaplain to Henry Hastings, third Earl of Huntingdon, a man noted for nonconformist beliefs (see P.E. McCollough, ""Andrewes, Lancelot (1555-1626)"", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).] [Fols 24r-25v are blank.] |
