He died in Win¬ chester house in Southwark 26 Sept. 1626, and was buried in the parish church of St. Saviour there. Several authors having made mention of this worthy person, I shall forbear to speak any farther of him, only say this, that he was the most eminent divine of our nation in his time.'8 William Pemberton, M. A. of the said university, was incorporated on the same day.9—This person, who was * [Lancelot Andrews prebendary of the eleventh stall in Westminster, was advanced to the deanery in yf church on ye death of Dr. Goodman 1601, being at that time preb. of S.

Tire right reverend father in God, Launcelot Andrews, late bishop of Win¬ chester, deane of his majesties chappell, prelate of the most noble order of the garter, and one of his majesties most honble privy councill, departed this mortal life at Winchester house in Southwark on friday, being the 26th day of Sept. 1626. Whose funerall was most honourably solemnized according to his degree on Saturday the 11th of November following, and proceeded from his house aforesaid to the parish church of St. Saviour in Southwark, where his body lyeth interred. This most reverend father in God having spent his whole course of life piously and religiously, and attained to the age of 71 years and .... months, all that time living a single life, died, most charitably disposing of a great part of his estate to his kindred, servants and friends ; dut the greatest part to charitable uses, partly appoynted by himself and partly left to the discretion of Mr. lohn Parker, esq. (sometime elected aider- man of London, and payd his fine) whom he made his executor, he being a man of whose integritye he had a great confidence that all thinges should be accomplished and according to his own desire. And who hath not fayled in any thing either in doing him honour, or fulfilling that great trust and charge committed to him by his last will. MS. Note in Herald’s Office. Rennet.

Davison, one of the secretaries of state, and at length to Rob. earl of Essex, earl marshal of England 3 whom, if I mistake not, he served while he was lord lieutenant of Ireland.
