Excerpt from Seventeen Sermons on the Nativity
In this volume of sermons preached upon Christmas Day, his firm grasp of the Doctrine of the Incarnation is clearly manifested and the close relation between the apprehension of this Verity, and the place in worship of the Blessed Eucharist, is particularly illustrated. To treat with fresh ness the same topic on seventeen different occasions is, as most preachers will allow, no mean test of power 5 but in these sermons of Bishop Andrewes no reader can fail to be charmed with the constant variety of treatment displayed in them, the great wealth of Scriptural illustration, and the profound depth of insight, which detects in the most seemingly insignificant details, matter of rich dog matic truth. He cuts and polishes a text, like a jeweller a diamond, and the rays of truth from its heart of light flash from every facet. As models of division and treatment, and as mines of learning and eloquent illustration, these sermons are invaluable to a preacher, and with a view to speciallyemphasising this value, an index of Scriptural references has been added to this edition. To the general reader they appeal as devout homilies, which gather many truths about the central doctrine of the Holy Incarnation, and build up Christian conduct and temper upon the sure foundation of dogmatic instruction.

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.
