SUBSCRIPTION. Coll. of Pap. p. 22.

There is [but] one set of people in the Kingdom
who are much too wise ever to be[come] wiser, and
that is, they are in the university of Oxford.

They are to be found amongst them who having accepted
of the bounty of various benefactors, upon the
Trust of being bound to it by various Statistics, & being sworn to shew those Statistics.
are too good to do any such thing. The united wisdom of the nation came: is of a few inferior dignity kind not up to this. The King Lords & Commons change alter their opinions practise every Session: & they are not, because they ought not to be, above bearing the reflection on their wisdom — But the pretensions of the Univ. of Oxford are not to be measured with a so much inferior.
