ntinuance."
Though not given as a quotation, this passage is no doubt borrowed from
Baader, as quoted by Archdeacon Hare in a note to his _Sermons on the
Mission of the Comforter_,--
"Nations, like individuals, may get free and rid of certain
prejudices, beliefs, customs, abuses, &c., in two ways. They may
really have risen above them, or they may have fallen below them
and become too bad for them."
In a volume of tracts (Class mark Gg. 5. 27.) in St. John's College
Library, Cambridge, is a copy of Nicolas Carr's edition of the
Olynthiacs and Philippics of Demosthenes, (4to. London, Henry Denham
1571.). As Carr died before the work was published, his friends wrote a
number of commemorative pieces in Greek and Latin, prose and verse,
which are annexed to the volume. Amongst the rest, Barth. Dodyngton
wrote a copy of Greek elegiacs, and a Latin prose epistle. On Dodyngton,
Baker has written the following note:--
"Barthol. Dodyngtonus in Com. Middlesex. natus, admissus fuit
Discipulus Coll. Jo. pro Fundatrice an. 1548.--Idem admissus
Socius, Apr. 8, an. 1552.--Idem admissus Socius Senior, an.
1558.--Idem admissus Socius Major Coll. Trin. Oct. 29, an.
1580."
In the same volume is note on Cheke:--
"Joan. Cheke admissus Socius Coll. Jo. Cant., Mar. 26, an. 21.
Henrici 8'vi."
Another tract in the same volume is "Exodus, &c., a Sermon Preach't
Sept. 12, 1675. By occasion of the much lamented Death of that Learned
and Reverend Minister of Christ, Dr. Lazarus Seaman."--By William
Jenkyn. After Dr. Seaman's name Baker adds, "some time Master of Peter
House." Of Jenkyn he says: "Gul. Jenkin Coll. Jo. admissus in Matriculam
Academiae (designatus Joannensis), Jul. 3, an. 1628."
