Friday, August 24.—(St. Bartholomew’s day.) I preached, I suppose the last time, at St.
Mary’s [Oxford]. Be it so. I am now clear of the blood of these men. I have fully delivered
my own soul.
The Beadle came to me afterwards and told me the Vice-Chancellor had sent him for my notes. I sent them without delay, not without admiring the wise providence of God. Perhaps few men of note would have given a sermon of mine the reading if I had put it into their hands; but by this means it came to be read, probably more than once, by every man of eminence in the University.
