He would often mention it with thankfulness to God, what great helps and advantages he had then in the University, not only for Learning but for Religion and Piety. Serious Godliness was in reputation, and besides the Public Opportunities they had, there were many of the Scholars that used to meet together for Prayer, and Christian Conference, to the great confirming of one another's hearts, in the Fear and Love of God, and the preparing of them for the Service of the Church in their generation. I have heard him speak of the prudent method they took then about the University Sermons on the Lord's Day in the Afternoon, which used to be Preached by the Fellows of Colleges in their course, but that being found not so much for Edification, Dr. Owen, and Dr. Goodwin performed that Service alternately, and the Young Masters that were wont to Preach it, had a Lecture on Tuesday appointed them. The Sermons he heard at Oxford he commonly wrote, not in the time of hearing, but afterwards when he came home in his reflection upon them, which he found a good help to his Memory.
