Invisibles, realities, demonstrated in the holy life and triumphant death of Mr. John Janeway,…

After a little continuance at Eton he obtained leave of his Master to go to Oxford to perfect himself in the study of Mathematics, where being owned by that great Scholar Dr. Ward, one of the Professors of the University, he attained to a strange exactness in that study, nothing being within the reach of a man, but he would undertake and grasp. That great Doctor gave him great help and encouragement, and looked upon him as one of the wonders of his age, loved him dearly, and could for some time after his death scarce mention his name without tears. When he had spent about a quarter of a year with Dr. Ward at Oxford, he was commanded to return again to Eton, where he soon gave proof of his great improvement of his time while he was absent; by making an Almanac, and calculating of the Eclipses for many years before hand; so that by this time he had many eyes upon him as the glory of the School. That which put an accent upon his real worth was that he did not discover the least affectation or self-conceit, neither did any discernible pride attend these excellencies. So that every ⟨p. 4⟩one took more notice of his parts than himself.
