			==Life==
			Bancroft was born at [[Farnworth, Widnes\|Farnworth]], then a village in south [[Lancashire]], in 1544. His early education was at Farnworth [[grammar school]] which had been founded by bishop [[William Smyth]] who had also been born in the village. He was later educated at [[Cambridge]], first at [[Christ's College, Cambridge\|Christ's College]] and afterwards at [[Jesus College, Cambridge\|Jesus College]]. He took his degree of [[Bachelor of Arts\|BA]] in 1567 and that of [[Master of Arts (Oxbridge)\|MA]] in 1570. Ordained about that time, he was named chaplain to [[Richard Cox (bishop)\|Richard Cox]], then [[bishop of Ely]], and in 1575 was presented to the rectory of [[Teversham]] in [[Cambridgeshire]]. The next year he was one of the preachers to the university.

			He graduated [[Bachelor of Divinity\|BD]] in 1580 and [[Doctor of Divinity\|DD]] five years later. In 1584 he was made [[rector]] of [[St Andrew, Holborn]]. In 1585 he was appointed treasurer of [[St Paul's cathedral]], [[London]], and in 1586 was made a member of the ecclesiastical commission. On [[9 February]] [[1589]] he preached at [[St Paul's Cathedral\|Paul's Cross]] a sermon, the substance of which was a passionate attack on the [[Puritan]]s. He described their speeches and proceedings, caricatured their motives, denounced the exercise of the right of private judgment, and set forth the divine right of bishops in such strong language that one of the queen’s councillors held it to amount to a threat against the supremacy of the crown.

			In the following year Bancroft was made a [[prebendary]] of St Paul's; he had been [[Canon (priest)\|canon]] of [[Westminster]] since 1587. He was chaplain successively to [[Christopher Hatton\|Lord Chancellor Hatton]] and [[John Whitgift\|Archbishop Whitgift]]. In June 1597, he was consecrated [[Bishop of London]]; and from this time, in consequence of the age and incapacity for business of Archbishop Whitgift, he was virtually invested with the power of primate, and had the sole management of ecclesiastical affairs. Among the more noteworthy cases which fell under his direction were the [[Marprelate Controversy\|proceedings]] against "[[Martin Marprelate]]," [[Thomas Cartwright (churchman)\|Thomas Cartwright]] and his friends, and [[John Penry]], whose "seditious writings" he caused to be intercepted and given up to the [[lord keeper]].

			In 1600 he was sent on an embassy, with others, to [[Emden]], for the purpose of settling certain matters in dispute between the English and the Danes. This mission, however, failed. Bancroft was present at the death of [[Elizabeth I of England\|Queen Elizabeth]].

			===Archbishop of Canterbury===
			In March 1604 Bancroft, on Whitgift's death, was appointed by royal writ president of convocation then assembled; and he there presented a book of canons collected by himself. It was adopted and received the royal approval, but was strongly opposed and set aside by Parliament two months afterwards. In the following November he was elected successor to Whitgift in the see of [[Canterbury]]. He continued to show the same zeal and severity as before, and with so much success that [[Lord Clarendon]], writing in his praise, expressed the opinion that "if Bancroft had lived, he would quickly have extinguished all that fire in England which had been kindled at Geneva."

			In 1608 he was chosen chancellor of the [[University of Oxford]]. One of his last public acts was a proposal laid before Parliament for improving the revenues of the Church, and a project for a college of controversial divinity at [[Chelsea, London\|Chelsea]]. In the last few months of his life he took part in the discussion about the consecration of certain Scottish bishops, and it was in pursuance of his advice that they were consecrated by several bishops of the English Church. By this act were laid the foundations of the [[Scottish Episcopal Church]]. Bancroft was "the chief overseer" of the [[King James Bible \| authorized version of the Bible]]. He died at [[Lambeth Palace]] on [[2 November]] [[1610]].
