In  1641  there  appeared,  "A  Summarie  View  of  the  Government  both
of  the  Old  and  New  Testament,  whereby  the  Episcopall  Government  of
Christ's  Church  is  Vindicated,  out  of  the  rude  draughts  of  Lancelot
Andrewes,  late  Bishop  of  Winchester. . .  .  Oxford.  .  .  .  1641."  It  formed
part  of  a  volume,  the  general  title  of  which  was,  "  Certain  briefe
Treatises,  written  by  diverse  learned  men,  concerning  the  Ancient  and
Modern  Government  of  the  Church,  &c."

This  treatise  was  reprinted  by  Dr.  Nicholas  Bernard,  in  his  "  Clavi
Trabales,"  a.d.  1661,  and  is  there  stated  to  be  both  confirmed  and
enlarged  by  Archbishop  Ussher.
Milton  remarks  on  these  fragments :  "  Others  better  advised,  are
content  to  receive  their  beginning  from  Aaron  and  his  sons,  among
whom.  Bishop  Andrewes  of  late  years,  and  in  these  times,  the  Primate
of  Armagh,  for  their  learning,  are  reputed  the  best  able  to  say  what

ment urged  against  Prelates,  book  i.  chap.  iii.  Works,  p.  47.  Lond.
1753.  And  again,  "  It  follows  here  now  to  attend  to  certain  objections
in  a  little  treatise,  lately  printed  among  others  of  like  sort  at  Oxford,
and  in  the  title  said  to  be  out  of  the  rude  draughts  of  Bishop  Andrews.
And  surely  they  be  rude  draughts  indeed,  insomuch  that  it  is  a  marvel
to  think,  what  his  friends  meant,  to  let  come  abroad  such  shallow

reasonings  with  the  name  of  a  man  so  much  bruited  for  learning."
