Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, Sclater served as rector of Pitminster in Somerset, prebendary of Bath and Wells, and chaplain to Bishop Arthur Lake and to Lord Stanhope of Harrington. 'A staunch Calvinist, Sclaterregarded the innovations of avant-garde conformists with horror. The refusal of some divines to identify the pope as Antichrist, together withJames I'spolicy of moderation towards Romanists, caused him to wonder what had become of "that ancient severity and strict hand over papists"' (ODNB). His 'best-selling Expositions on 1 and 2 Thessalonians (1619, 1627) merited five more editions by 1638' (ibid.). The indenture fragments visible in the hinges of the binding refer to a gift by 'Roberte Doket' for 'too scolers' at 'Cambrigge'. This must be Robert Duckett (d.1522), rector of Chevening in Kent, who founded two scholarships at St John's College; he was from Holderness and 'holdernes' is mentioned herein. The notes to the rear endpaper by one 'George Thornborrow', dated 1703, list the Biblical passages preached upon by numerous ministers e.g.'Mr Flemings subiect Mathew the 9 C verse 21; Mr Swinton subiect Hebrews C the 4the latter part of the 13 verse '. He also records that 'Mr Nellson [was] elected minister' and that 'Mr Kenion died the 11th day of February in the year of our Lord 1703'. Thornborrow does not appear to have been a student at Oxford or Cambridge, nor is he on the Clergy of the Church of England database. ESTC S116807 and S116803.
