The apology of the Church of England, and an epistle to one Seignior Scipio…

THE twentieth day of October in the following year, he took his first Degree of Bachelor of Arts, with a great and general Applause; when he prosecuted his Studies with more vigour than before, beginning them at four in the Morning, and continuing them till ten and night, so that he seemed to need some body to put him in mind of eating.

THE twentieth day of October in the folowing year, he took his first Degree of Batchelor of Arts, with a great and general Applause; when he prosecuted his Studies with more vigor than before, beginning them at four in the Morning, and continuing them till ten and night, so that he seemed to need some body to put him in mind of eating.

BEING now attained to a great Reputation for Learning, he began to instruct other, and amongst and rest Anthony Parkhurst was committed to his care by Mr. John Parkhurst his Tuto, which was a great Argument of his great Worth and Industry.

BEING thus employed, he was chosen Reader of Humanity and Rhetoric of his own College, and he managed this place seven years with great Applause and Honour. His Example taught more than any Precepts could; for he was a great admirer of Horace and Cicero, and read all Erasmus his Works, and imitated them too, for it was his custom to write something every day; and it was his common saying, that men acquired Learning more by a frequent exercising their Pens, than by reading many Books. He affected ever rather to express himself fluently, neatly, and with great weight of Argument and strength of Reason, than in hunting after the Flowers of Rhetoric, and the Cadences of Words, tho he understood them, no man better, and wrote a Dialogue in which he comprehended the sum of the Art of Rhetoric.
