The Practice of Piety, first printed in the early seventeenth century, distills Reformed devotion into a brisk manual for daily godliness. Through orderly meditations, prayers, and rules for family worship, vocation, and preparation for death, Bayly marries plain, imperative prose to copious Scripture. Situated within Jacobean "practical divinity," it translates doctrine into habit, bridging Anglican conformity and Puritan earnestness, and was widely reprinted and translated. Lewis Bayly, a Welsh-born Anglican who became Bishop of Bangor, served as a royal chaplain and parish pastor in the reign of James I. His courtly preaching and pastoral cure shaped a pedagogy attentive to conscience and common life. Writing amid post-Reformation tensions, he forged a disciplined yet accessible pathway for lay households and ministers. Readers of early modern religion, students of Protestant spirituality, and pastors seeking time-tested forms of prayer will find The Practice of Piety both exacting and consoling. As historical document and living guide, it repays slow, accountable use-in private devotion or the family circle-where its scriptural cadence and moral urgency still train the affections in reverence, repentance, and hope.
