Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626), Bishop of Winchester, was on the committee of
scholars that produced the King James Translation of the Bible, and probably
contributed more to that work than any other single person. It is accordingly no
surprise to find him not only a devout writer but a learned and eloquent one, a
master of English prose, and learned in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and eighteen other
languages. His sermons were popular in his own day, but are perhaps too academic
for most modern readers. He prepared for his own use a manuscript notebook of
Private Prayers, which was published after his death. The material was
apparently intended, not to be read aloud, but to serve as a guide and stimulus
to devout meditation
Bishop Andrewes was one of the Divines and probably my favorite. Blessed John Newman
"translated" some of his prayers. Below is a link to his "Private Devotions" The whole of the book
is downloable for free(PDF)
