Page 97, l. 20.  George Abbott (1562-1633), Archbishop of Canterbury, 1611.  In the preceding paragraph Clarendon had written an unfavourable character of him.  He ’considered Christian religion no otherwise than as it abhorred and reviled Popery, and valued those men most who did that most furiously’:  ’if men prudently forbore a public reviling and railing at the hierarchy and ecclesiastical government, let their opinions and private practice be what it would, they were not only secure from any inquisition of his, but acceptable to him, and at least equally preferred by him’:  his house was ’a sanctuary to the most eminent of that factious party’.  Cf. p. 100, ll. 21-7.

Page 101, l. 2.  In the omitted portion Clarendon dealt with the ‘Arminianism’, as it was then understood in England:  ’most of the popular preachers, who had not looked into the ancient learning, took Calvin’s word for it, and did all they could to propagate his opinions in those points:  they who had studied more, and were better versed in the antiquities of the Church, the Fathers, the Councils, and the ecclesiastical histories, with the same heat and passion in preaching and writing, defended the contrary.  But because in the late dispute in the Dutch churches, those opinions were supported by Jacobus Arminius, the divinity professor in the university of Leyden in Holland, the latter men we mentioned were called Arminians, though many of them had never read a word written by Arminius’.  Arminius (the name is the Latinized form of Harmens or Hermans) died in 1609.

Page 104, l. 15.  Canterbury College was founded at Oxford in 1363 by Simon Islip, Archbishop of Canterbury.  It was incorporated in Christ Church, Wolsey’s foundation, and so ‘lost its name’; but the name survives in the Canterbury quadrangle.

Dryden’s Annus Mirabilis, 1667, stanza 276: 

  The daring Flames peep’t in, and saw from far
    The awful Beauties of the Sacred Quire: 
  But since it was prophan’d by Civil War,
    Heav’n thought it fit to have it purg’d by fire.

l. 29. too too, so in the original; perhaps but not certainly a misprint.
