on 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. 25. The Church-History of Britain, 1648, Bk. XI, pp. 217-9. 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. Page 105, l. 13. _Lord F._, i.e. Lord Falkland: see p. 80, l. 20 note. 26. Memoires of the reigne of King Charles I, 1701, pp. 78-82, 89-93. Page 107, l. 27. _cleansed it by fire_. Perhaps a reminiscence of 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. 27. Memoires, 1701, pp. 93-6. Page 112, l. 9. _Lord Portland_, Sir Richard Weston: see No. 5. l. 13. _white staff_, see p. 21, l. 7 note. 28. Clarendon, MS. Life, pp. 152-3; _History_, Bk. IV, ed. 1702, vol. i, pp. 332-3; ed. Macray, vol. i, pp. 563-5. This is the first of three characters of Hertford in Clarendon's _History_. The others, in Bk. VI (MS. Life) ed. Macray, ii. 528, and Bk. VII (MS. History) iii. 128, are supplementary. Page 114, l. 10. _disobligations_, on account of his secret marriage with James's cousin, Arabella Stuart, daug
