Note 256 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
Preface to De Divinia Justitia, Works, ix., 339. It contains a defence of what he called "his darling university." Burnet, in the History of his own Time, (i. 192.) says, learning was then high at Oxford, chiefly the study of the Oriental tongues, much raised by the study of the Polyglott Bible. They read the Fathers; and mathematics, and the new philosophy, were in great esteem.
