You that are Gentlemen, remember what Hierom reports of Nepotianus, a young Gentleman of Rome, Qui longa & assidua meditation scripturarum, pectus suum fecerat bibliothecam Christi, who by often and assiduous meditation of the Scriptures, made his breast the Library of Christ. Remember what is said of King Alphonsus, that he read over the Bible fourteen times, together with such Commentaries as those times afforded.

You that are Scholars, remember Cranmer and Ridley, the former learnt the New Testament by heart in his journey to Rome, the latter in Pembroke-hall Walks in Cambridge. Remember what is said of Thomas a Kempis, that he found rest no where, nisi in angulo, cum libello; but in a corner with this book in his hand. And what is said of Beza, that when he was above fourscore years old, he could say perfectly by heart any Greek Chapter ⟨p. 74⟩in Pauls Epistles.
