this_o with_o all_o thankfulness_n both_o to_o this_o country_n and_o special_o to_o your_o most_o reverend_a dignity_n and_o to_o yourself_o my_o kind_a master_n and_o benefactor_n i_o may_v just_o

two_o university_n which_o raine_v down_v most_o plentiful_o milk_n and_o honey_n i_o call_v thou_o fairelike_a man_n and_o the_o head_n beautify_v with_o two_o pleasant_a eye_n because_o heretofore_o thou_o do_v send_v forth_o two_o horn_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n of_o christ_n the_o first_o be_v constantine_n the_o great_a that_o second_o light_n of_o the_o world_n who_o free_v such_o as_o be_v hold_v in_o captivity_n for_o the_o confession_n of_o christ_n who_o drive_v away_o the_o mist_n of_o idolatry_n who_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o triumph_v over_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o horn_n be_v holy_a helen_n who_o find_v out_o that_o life-bearing_a cross_n the_o weapon_n of_o all_o true_a christian_n the_o most_o holy_a mother_n of_o the_o world_n but_o now_o and_o long_o since_o thou_o have_v be_v beautify_v with_o two_o resplendent_a eye_n in_o that_o thou_o contayne_v the_o two_o famous_a university_n for_o i_o call_v the_o two_o university_n the_o two_o resplendent_a eye_n even_o most_o renown_a and_o most_o beautiful_a oxford_n with_o her_o sister_n the_o like_a renown_a cambridge_n and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o compare_v the_o world_n to_o a_o man_n body_n for_o a_o man_n according_a to_o aristole_n be_v a_o little_a world_n sure_o i_o must_v account_v england_n the_o head_n of_o this_o body_n for_o it_o be_v even_o so_o divide_v by_o the_o sea_n from_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o a_o man_n head_n from_o his_o body_n by_o the_o neck_n thou_o be_v also_o the_o place_n of_o refuge_n even_o the_o haven_n of_o comfort_n to_o poor_a grecian_n oppress_v with_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o turk_n as_o david_n say_v in_o the_o 83._o psal_n against_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o tabernacle_n of_o edom_n and_o the_o ismaelite_n have_v set_v themselves_o etc._n etc._n thou_o bring_v forth_o most_o wise_a man_n yea_o most_o valiant_a and_o heroical_a captain_n as_o heretofore_o grecia_n do_v yea_o and_o those_o lover_n of_o the_o greek_n &_o partaker_n of_o their_o former_a virtue_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o we_o read_v in_o the_o history_n of_o eusebius_n bishop_n of_o caesarea_n that_o constantine_n the_o great_a &_o his_o holy_a mother_n helen_n be_v britain_n the_o offpring_n and_o flower_n of_o britain_n and_o when_o constantine_n the_o great_a rule_v over_o the_o grecian_n as_o also_o the_o whole_a world_n than_o his_o kinsfolk_n come_v out_o of_o britain_n to_o constantinople_n &_o live_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o constantine_n and_o like_o wise_a the_o grecian_n be_v send_v into_o england_n from_o constantine_n and_o so_o the_o grecian_n &_o english_a be_v mingle_v in_o blood_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o english_a love_n the_o grecian_n and_o their_o learning_n and_o be_v belove_v of_o they_o more_o than_o any_o other_o nation_n and_o they_o partake_v one_o of_o another_o in_o many_o thing_n beside_o for_o the_o english_a nation_n have_v excel_v in_o wisdom_n &_o all_o heroical_a virtue_n as_o the_o grecian_n of_o old_a do_v and_o they_o do_v diligent_o &_o with_o great_a understanding_n search_v out_o the_o truth_n as_o say_v paul_n beware_v lest_o any_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o you_o through_o philosophy_n and_o vain_a deceit_n as_o the_o grecian_n also_o heretofore_o be_v account_v to_o have_v do_v and_o they_o be_v also_o give_v to_o hospitality_n &_o pity_n of_o poor_a stranger_n as_o be_v the_o grecian_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o thessalonian_o concern_v brotherly_a love_n i_o need_v not_o speak_v for_o you_o be_v teach_v this_o from_o above_o &_o they_o will_v also_o die_v for_o their_o religion_n but_o never_o turn_v from_o their_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o any_o other_o as_o also_o the_o grecian_n yea_o i_o myself_o be_v once_o dead_a through_o the_o cruel_a scourge_v of_o the_o turk_n for_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o i_o never_o deny_v
