Lewis Bayly was a Puritan bishop of the Church of England.

Bayly is thought to have been born in either Carmarthen or Biggar, Scotland, the curate of Carmarthen, Thomas Bayly, may have been his father. He was educated at Oxford, and became vicar of Evesham, Worcestershire. Later, likely in 1604, he became rector of St Matthew Friday Street. He was then chaplain to Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, and was later chaplain to King James I, who, in 1616, appointed him Bishop of Bangor. Bayly was an ardent Puritan. He died in Bangor in 1631.

Bayly's fame rests on his book "The Practice of Piety, directing a Christian how to walk that he may please God." It reached its 74th edition in 1821 and has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Italian ...more

Quotes by Lewis Bayly (?)

“Beware of singing divine psalms for an ordinary recreation, as do men of impure spirits, who sing holy psalms intermingled with profane ballads: They are God’s word: take them not in thy mouth in vain.”

“...if thou art persuaded that God is true, why dost thou doubt of his promises?—and if thou believest that God is beauty and perfection itself, why dost not thou make him alone the chief end of all thine affections and desires? for if thou lovest beauty, he is most fair; if thou desirest riches, he is most wealthy; if thou seekest wisdom, he is most wise. Whatsoever excellency thou hast seen in any creature, it is nothing but a sparkle of that which is in infinite perfection in God...”
