The first published essay, Donna Sham Martyr (Pseudo-Martyr) came in 1610 with a dedication to King James.

For his efforts, Donne was rewarded an honorary degree of Master of Arts from Oxford University, and since then the king openly stated that Donna will promote the service, if he will choose a church assignment. In the same year, Donne finally found a patron in the person of R. Drury. From November 1611 to August 1612 Donn Drury went from abroad and on return moved the family to the house in Drury Lane, where he lived until 1621.

Donne bequeathed to his son more than 160 of his sermons, and he let them be released in three volumes. Preaching, Donn preferred exhortations and appeals to the moral purification of the arguments about the contradictions in the doctrine separating the Anglican church from the Roman Catholic. Despite the meticulous, scientific analysis of passages from Scripture and sometimes Latinized syntax and vocabulary in his sermons recognizably the same lively rhythms and rich imagery, as in his poems. Along with prayer for the preaching Donna ensured their author enduring fame as one of the greatest masters of English prose.
