John Whitgil^ a.d. 1583—1604 Elizabeth was at Hatfield, in Hertfordshire, ^at the time of her sister's death. She had oft^n been in great danger during the late reign, and was once even committed to the Tower. Her prudence led her to live in retirement, and employ herself in cultivating a mind which was naturally highly gifted. She learnt wisdom in the school of adver- sity. When the news of her accession was brought her, she fell on her knees, saying, " It is the Lord's doing, and it is marvel
...lous in our eyes." And on entering the Tower, she again gave thanks to God for the change in her con- dition, since the time when she was taken there as a prisoner.
Her accession was hailed with joy by the whole nation ; especially as she was known to be attached to the reforma- tion of religion, which she took measures again to set on foot. Her chief adviser was the great statesman Sir William Cecil, whom she afterwards made Lord Burleigh.
One of the first works which Elizabeth undertook was the issuing a commission to certain learned men to make a review of King Edward's Prayer Books, and to frame from them both a book for the use of the Church of England.
