edit
]
Guest was born at
Northallerton
, Yorkshire, the son of Thomas Geste. He was educated at
York Grammar School
and
Eton College
and became a scholar of
King's College, Cambridge
in 1536 (fellow from 1539 to 1554, BA in 1541, MA in 1544, BD in 1551).
[1]
He was chaplain to Archbishop
Matthew Parker
who made him
Archdeacon of Canterbury
(1559?1564) and Rector of Cliffe, Kent. He became
Bishop of Rochester
in 1560, holding the office of
Archdeacon of Canterbury
in commendam
.
[2]
He was then
Bishop of Salisbury
from 1571 to his death in 1577. He was buried in
Salisbury Cathedral
.
[3]
Guest participated actively in the
Convocation of 1563
that met under Archbishop
Matthew Parker
to revise the
Forty-Two Articles
.
[4]
Convocation passed only 39 of the 42, and Queen Elizabeth reduced the number to 38 by throwing out Article XXIX to avoid offending the Roman Catholic party.
[4]
In 1571, the XXIXth Article, despite the opposition of Guest, was inserted, to the effect that the wicked do not eat the Body of Christ.
[5]
The
Thirty-Nine Articles
were ratified by the Queen, and the bishops and clergy were required to assent.
