Topic: Archbishop George Abbot


  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. George
In 1415, the Constitution of Archbishop Chichele raised St. George's day to the rank of one of the greatest feasts and ordered it to be observed like Christmas day.
There seems, therefore, no ground for doubting the historical existence of St. George, even though he is not commemorated in the Syrian, or in the primitive Hieronymian Martyrologium, but no faith can be placed in the attempts that have been made to fill up any of the details of his history.
Hence it is certainly not true, as stated by Hartland, that in George's person "the Church has converted and baptized the pagan hero Perseus" (The Legend of Perseus, iii, 38).

 George Abbot
The Archbishop was regarded as an excellent preacher and a great divine.
From that time, it is said, the Archbishop was never known to laugh; and became quite dead to the world.
Others, however, as Dr. Davenant, bishop elect of Salisbury, and Dr. Hall, bishop elect of Norwich, were solemnly consecrated by their dejected metropolitan.

Abbot was the son of a Canterbury clothworker.
This is followed by geographical information: Scotland, Abbot states, is surrounded on three sides by the sea, on the fourth it is joined to England.
The stress Abbot lays on religion in this passage seems somewhat out of place at first sight, since the whole text rarely deals with matters of religion, but the point he makes would have seemed important to his readers.

George Abbot died at Croydon in August 1633 and was brought to Holy Trinity, Guildford to be buried.
Perhaps the most positive contribution Abbot made was in the translation of the bible he helped to prepare in the early years of James I’s reign – the Authorised Version, as it is usually known.
The next year saw him made Bishop of London and in February 1611 the King nominated him as the next Archbishop of Canterbury at the dying request of Abbot’s patron, the Earl of Dunbar.

 October 19: Birth of Archbishop George Abbot
George Abbot, was a prominent translator of the King James Bible and became archbishop of Canterbury.
When King James I agreed to a new translation of the Bible, Abbot was appointed to the team responsible for the gospels, Acts and Revelation.
James appointed a commission to decide the question, but they were evenly divided.

 August 4th
After all this was done, Laud and three other clergymen, elected to bishoprics, refused to accept consecration from Abbot, and the rite was accordingly performed by a congregation of prelates in the Bishop of London's chapel.
He took a leading part in completing the Reformation; assisted materially in the translation of the Bible; counselled his king wisely in many difficult matters; opposing him fearlessly in his declaration of sports and pastimes on Sunday, and in the divorce which was granted to the Countess of Essex.
Some time after, fetching water from the river, a jack came into her pail, which she immediately cooked and ate.

The Archbishop's functions were instead transeferred to a commission of bishops, led by William Laud, the Bishop of Bath and Wells (afterwards Bishop of London).
At the same time, religious reform was conducted under William Laud, who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633.
The Presbyterians, however, arrived at an agreement with Parliament and delivered Charles to them in 1647.

The King favoured Abbot, making him first a bishop and in 1611 Archbishop of Canterbury.
He is buried in the Holy Trinity Church, directly opposite the hospital.
He decided to reward the town of his birth and education by building a "hospital" - an almshouse where elderly Guildford men and women could lead out their lives in comfort.

 [EMLS 1.1 (April 1995): 5.1-23] Milton and the Jacobean Church of England
In 1633 Laud became Archbishop of Canterbury, and his bishops, with the approval and encouragement of the king, tried to force their own style of piety on a largely reluctant church.
While in the Jacobean years and even later a civil war and executions of archbishop and king were unthinkable, let alone inevitable, it seems clear that the narrowness and insensitivity of some of the Laudian church authorities contributed significantly to making these things possible.
See Peter Lake, "Matthew Hutton - A Puritan Bishop?" Also, Archbishop Abbot was himself sometimes accused of being a puritan, as was Bishop John King, Donne's friend.

A feud had existed between Abbot and Laud from early days.
In 1627, he was suspended from the exercise of his archiepiscopal functions and the sequestration lasted for more than a year.
It was clear that the Archbishop was in no way to blame for the accident, but it afforded his enemies a fresh ground of attack and it cast a cloud over his latter years.
