Excerpt from The Beauties of Clarendon, Consisting of Selections From His Historical and Moral Works
It was about the end of August, in the year 1633, when the king returned from Scotland to Greenwich, where the queen kept her court; and the first accident of moment that happened after his coming thither, was the death of Abbot, archbishop of Canterbury; who had sat too many years in that see, and had too great a jurisdiction over the church, though he was without any credit in the court from the death of King James, and had not much in many years before. He had been head or master of one of the poorest colleges in Oxford, and had learning sufficient for that province.
