ABBOT, See also:EZRA (1819-1884) , See also:American biblical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Jackson, See also:Waldo See also:county, See also:Maine, on the 28th of See also:April 1819. He graduated at See also:Bowdoin See also:College in 184o; and in 1847, at the See also:request of Prof. See also:Andrews See also:Norton, went to See also:Cambridge, where he was See also:principal of a public school until 1856. He was assistant librarian of Harvard University from 1856 to 1872, and planned and perfected an alphabetical card See also:catalogue, combining many of the advantages of the See also:ordinary See also:dictionary catalogues with the grouping of the See also:minor topics under more See also:general heads, which is characteristic of a systematic catalogue. From 1872 until his See also:death he was Bussey See also:Professor of New Testament See also:Criticism and See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
Interpretation in the Harvard Diyinity School. His studies were chiefly in See also:Oriental See also:languages and the textual criticism of the New Testament, though his See also:work as a bibliographer showed such results as the exhaustive See also:list of writings (5300 in all) on the See also:doctrine of the future See also:life, appended to W: R. See also:Alger's See also:History of the Doctrine of a Future Life, as it has prevailed in all Nations and Ages (1862), and published separately in 1864. His publications, though always of the most thorough and scholarly See also:character, were to a large extent dispersed in the pages of reviews, dictionaries, concordances, texts edited by others, Unitarian controversial See also:treatises, &c.; but he took a more conspicuous and more See also:personal See also:part in the preparation (with the Baptist scholar, Horatio B.

time probably the ablest See also:defence, based on external See also:evidence, of the Johannine authorship, and certainly the cornpletest treatment of the relation of See also:Justin See also:Martyr to this gospel. Abbot, though a layman, received the degree of S. T. D. from Harvard in 1872, and that of D.D. from See also:Edinburgh in 1884.

See S. J. Barrows, Ezra Abbot (Cambridge, See also:Mass., 1884). ABBOT, See also:GEORGE (1562-1633), See also:English divine, See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, was born on the 19th of See also:October 1562, at See also:Guildford in See also:Surrey, where his See also:father was a See also:cloth-worker. He studied, and then taught, at Balliol College, See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, was chosen See also:master of University College in 1597, and appointed See also:dean of See also:Winchester in 1600. He was three times See also:vice-See also:chancellor of the university, and took a leading part in preparing the authorized version of the New Testament. In 16o8 he went to See also:Scotland with the See also:earl of See also:Dunbar to arrange for a See also:union between the churches of See also:England and Scotland. He so pleased the king (James I.) in this affair that he was made See also:bishop of See also:Lichfield and See also:Coventry in 1609, was translated to the see of See also:London a See also:month afterwards, and in less than a See also:year was raised to that of Canterbury. His puritan instincts frequently led him not only into harsh treatment of See also:Roman Catholics, but also into courageous resistance to the royal will, e.g. when he opposed the scandalous See also:divorce suit of the See also:Lady Frances See also:Howard against the earl of See also:Essex, and again in 1618 when, at See also:Croydon, he forbade the See also:reading of the See also:declaration permitting See also:Sunday See also:sports. He was naturally, therefore, a See also:promoter of the match between the elector See also:palatine and° the Princess See also:Elizabeth, and a See also:firm opponent of the projected See also:marriage of the See also:prince of See also:Wales with the infanta of See also:Spain. This policy brought upon him the hatred of See also:Laud (with whom he had previously come into collision at Oxford) and the See also:court, though the king himself never forsook him. In 1622, while See also:hunting in See also:Lord See also:Zouch's See also:park at Bramshill, See also:Hampshire, a See also:bolt from his See also:cross-See also:bow aimed at a See also:deer happened to strike one of the keepers, who died within an See also:hour, and Abbot was so greatly distressed by the event that he See also:fell into a See also:state of settled See also:melancholy. His enemies maintained that the fatal issue of this See also:accident disqualified him for his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, and argued that, though the See also:homicide was involuntary, the See also:sport of hunting which had led to it was one in which no clerical See also:person could lawfully indulge. The king had to refer the See also:matter to a See also:commission of ten, though he said that "an See also:angel might have miscarried after this sort." The commission was equally divided, and the king gave a casting See also:vote in the archbishop's favour, though See also:signing also a formal See also:pardon or See also:dispensation. After this the See also:arch-bishop seldom appeared at the See also:council, chiefly on See also:account of his infirmities. He attended the king constantly, however, in his last illness, and performed the ceremony of the See also:coronation of See also:Charles I. His refusal to license the See also:assize See also:sermon preached by Dr See also:Robert See also:Sibthorp at See also:Northampton on the 22nd of See also:February 1626-1627, in which cheerful obedience was urged to the king's demand for a general See also:loan, and the See also:duty proclaimed of See also:absolute non-resistance even to the most arbitrary royal commands, led Charles to deprive him of his functions as See also:primate, putting them in commission. The need of summoning See also:parliament, however, soon brought about a nominal restoration of the archbishop's See also:powers. His presence being unwelcome at court, he lived from that time in retirement, leaving Laud and his party in undisputed ascendancy. He died at Croydon on the 5th of See also:August 1633, and was buried at Guildford, his native See also:place, where he had endowed a See also:hospital with lands to the value of £300 a year. Abbot was a conscientious See also:prelate, though narrow in view and often harsh towards both separatists and Romani*ts. He wrote a large number of See also:works, the most interesting being
his discursive Exposition on the See also:Prophet See also:Jonah (1600), which was reprinted in 1845. His See also:Geography, or a Brief Description of the Whole See also:World (1599), passed through numerous See also:editions.
The best account of him is in S. R. See also:Gardiner's History of England.
