He was educated at See also:Cambridge, first at See also:Christ's See also:College and afterwards at Jesus College. He took his degree of B.A. in 1567 and that of M.A. in 1570.

The next See also:year he was one of the preachers to the university, and in 1584 was presented to the. rectory of St See also:Andrew's, See also:Holborn.

In 1585 he was appointed treasurer of St See also:Paul's See also:cathedral, See also:London, and in 1586 was made a member of the ecclesiastical See also:commission. On the 9th of See also:February 1589 he preached at Paul's See also:Cross a See also:sermon on , See also:John iv. 1, the substance of which was a passionate attack on the Puritans. He described their speeches and proceedings, caricatured their motives, denounced the exercise of the right of private See also:judgment, and set forth the divine right of bishops in such strong See also:language that one of the See also:queen's councillors held it to amount to a See also:threat against the supremacy of the See also:crown. In the following year Bancroft was made a See also:prebendary of St Paul's; he had been See also:canon of See also:Westminster since 1587. He was chaplain successively to See also:Lord See also:Chancellor See also:Hatton and Archbishop See also:Whitgift. In See also:June 1597 he was consecrated bishop of London; and from this time, in consequence of the See also:age and incapacity for business of Archbishop Whitgift, he was virtually invested with the See also:power of See also:primate, and had the See also:sole management of ecclesiastical affairs. Among the more noteworthy cases which See also:fell under his direction were the proceedings against " See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

In See also:March 1604 Bancroft, on Whitgift's death, was appointed by royal See also:writ See also:president of See also:con-vocation then assembled; and he there presented a See also:book of canons collected by himself. It was adopted and received the royal approval, but was strongly opposed and set aside byparliament two months afterwards. In the following See also: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 See also:Clarendon, See also:writing in his praise, expressed the See also:opinion that " if Bancroft had lived, he would quickly have extinguished all that See also:fire in See also:England which had been kindled at See also:Geneva." He was as lenient with the offences of the orthodox as he was rigid in suppressing See also:heresy and See also:schism. In 16o5 he was sworn a member of the privy See also:council. The same year he engaged in a contest with the See also:judges, and exhibited articles of complaint against them before the lords of the council; but these complaints were overruled. His aim was really to make the ecclesiastical courts See also:independent of the See also:law by speciously magnifying the royal authority over them. He enforced discipline and exact conformity within the church with an See also:iron See also:hand; and over 200 clergymen were deprived of their livings for disobedience to the ex animo See also:form of subscription. In 16o8 he was chosen chancellor of the university of See also:- OXFORD

One of his latest public acts was a proposal laid before See also:parliament for improving the revenues of the church, and a project for a college of controversial divinity at See also:Chelsea. In the last few months of his See also:life he took part in the discussion about the See also:consecration of certain Scottish bishops, and it was in pursuance of his See also:advice that they were consecrated by several bishops of the English church. By this See also:act were laid the See also:foundations of the Scottish Episcopal church. Bancroft was "the See also:chief overseer" of the authorized version of the See also:Bible. He died at See also:Lambeth See also:Palace on the and of November 161o. His See also:literary remains are not extensive, but show him to have been an able writer.
