Lancelot Andrews' (KJB Translator) funeral sermon said: "His admirable knowledge in the learned tongues, Latine, Greeke, Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriack, Arabick, besides other moderne Tongues to the number of fifteene (as I am informed) was such and so rare, that he may well be ranked in the first place, to be one of the rarest Linguists in Christendome; In which, he was so perfect and absolute, both for Grammar and profound knowledge therein, that he was so perfect in the Grammar and Criticismes of them, as if he had utterly neglected the matter it selfe; and yet he was so exquisite and sound in the matter and learning of these Tongues, as if he had neβ£ver regarded the Grammar. ...his Knowledge was great and rare, his Memorie greater, and his Iudgement profoundest and greatest of all; and over and above all these, Industria infinita, his paines and industry was infinite:" (A SERMON Preached at the FVNERALL of the R. R. Father in GOD, LANCELOT late Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER.) SOURCE+SOURCE
