6 Samuel the first builder (we read) of Colleges: calleth his College Naioth, that is,1 even beauty it self, where must be no deformity, for a small spot in beauty, is a great blemish. Again, Colleges are as Epitomes of the Common-wealth, as Athens was of Greece; and what a thing were it in an Epitome to find superfluity. Universities are the eyes of the Common-wealth, and a mote in the eye is a great trouble. Briefly, Universities be the Lebanon of the Lord, from whence timber must be fetched to build the Temple. They be the Conduits, to derive water into the whole land. They be the Rocks or Bayes, where Salt is prepared to season. They be the polished Sapphires to garnish the house of the Lord.
