HARSNETT, SAMUEL .

Scheme For The Management And Regulations Of Archbishop Harsnett's Charity, Chigwell, Essex. And For The Application Of The Income Thereof. Approved by the Court of Chancery, By Order, Dated 29th June, 1867.

London: Printed By C. Roworth And Sons, Bell Yard, Temple Bar, 1867 . 0. A scarce Victorian publication. 8vo. 8.5" x 5.5". pp.23 . Original blind-stamp grey cloth covered boards, with original paper label to front board. Covers soiled and rubbed. Original clean yellow endpapers. Clean title and text throughout. ** " Samuel Harsnett (or Harsnet) (June 1561 - May 1631), born Samuel Halsnoth, was an English writer on religion and Archbishop of York from 1629. He was born in St Botolph's parish, Colchester, Essex, the son of William Halsnoth, a baker, and his wife Agnes. He was probably educated at Colchester's free school, now Colchester Royal Grammar School. After leaving school, he was inducted into King's College, Cambridge on 8 September 1576 and removed into Pembroke College, Cambridge where he gained a BA in 1580/1 and was elected a Fellow on 27 November 1583. In 1583 he was ordained into the Church of England. In 1592 he served the office of Junior Proctor and five years later became chaplain to Dr Bancroft then Bishop of London and shortly to become Archbishop of Canterbury by whose favour he quickly rose through the ranks. On the authority of Bancroft, he obtained the rectory of St Margaret, New Fish Street, London which he resigned in 1604 and the vicarage of Chigwell in Essex on 14 June 1597 which he resigned in 1605. Whilst at Chigwell, his wife, Thomazine, died in 1601, having given birth in 1600 to a short-lived daughter. Even after 1605 he continued to reside at Chigwell, where he had purchased a house and estate. In 1619 he purchased land in the parish on which he founded both a Latin school (which survives as Chigwell School) and an English school in 1629. In 1598 he was promoted, becoming the prebendary of Mapesbury on 5 August and on 17 January 1602 the archdeacon of Essex - both posts chosen for him by Bishop Bancroft. On 16 April 1604 Sir Thomas Lucas of Colchester, father of Charles, installed him in the rectory of Shenfield, Essex. Having been Bishop of Chichester since 13 November 1609, on 8 August 1619, he became Bishop of Norwich, resigning the living of Stisted he had held since 1609. He spent most of his time when absent from his city at Ludham, where he built a chapel and consecrated it for divine worship. In May 1624 he was charged before Parliament with high-handedness by the citizens of Norwich and in that same year he also persecuted the Puritans in Great Yarmouth, leading to a complaint by them to King Charles I in 1627. On 26 November 1628, he was elected Archbishop of York, and on 10 November 1629 he was sworn a Privy Councillor. In his home town of Colchester he is commemorated by a statue on the town hall and a stained glass window in St. Botolph's Church. His library of theological works was bequeathed to the borough of Colchester for the use of local clergy; it can now be found in the library of the University of Essex. " - See Wikipedia .
