He was admitted into the Colledge when he was about 14years of Age; for which, as he intimated, he was constrain'd to become the more studious and industrious. And how well he improved his time, and what Progress he made in Learning, will sufficiently appear by what he writ, without any further Observation. That which I find recorded of S. Remigious, may well be attributed unto him; — Ʋt primum Disciplinarum c•pax factus est, non modò natu majores, &c. That from the time of his first capacity of Learning, he outstrip'd those that were superiour to him in Age, as well in excellency of Parts, as proficiency in Study, and maturity in Moral Vertues. I was enforc'd to make this Remark, for that it was reported; that I had derogated from his Worth and Parts by my late Expressions, rendering him thereby as mean and despicable. How deserving such Censures are, let the Reader be judge, and tell, whether the same be not temerarious, if not captious and perverse.
