Note 618 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
Cooper gives 2,091 University residents in 1641, but says it does not include the whole.—Thorndike, vi. 165. Walker reports nearly 200 masters and fellows as ejected, besides inferior scholars. Some of the ejected heads of houses were men of moderate opinions.—Neal, iii. 116.
Newcome, in his Autobiography, Cheetham Society, speaks of the bitter feuds between the new and the old fellows in 1645. He judged the supporters of the Parliament to be the most religious, "religion being as little favoured" by many of their opponents as the Puritans themselves were (p. 7).
