Then he began to read S. Austens ⟨image 11⟩books, where he found many goodly1 sentences, among other in the exposition of the Psalms, and in the book of the Spirit and the Letter, which confirmed this doctrine of faith & consolation that was illumined in his hart. And yet he laid not a side the Sentenciaries. He could recite by rote word by word Gabriel and Cameracensis. He red long time the books of Occam, & preferred his subtlety above Thomas Aquin, and Scotus. He red also and revolved Gersō, but above all the rest, he red and perused all over Saint Austens works, and committed them to perfect memory. And thus he began diligently to study at Erphord, where he continued four years in the Convent of Augustines.
