Of Men of note ill his time . ... And here I desire the Reader leave to remember two of myoid acquaintance, the one was Mr john Dunne, who leaving Oxford, lived at the Innes of Court, not dissolute, but very neat; a great visiter of Ladies, a great frequenter of Playes, a great writer of conceited Verses; until such time as King james taking notice of the pregnancy of his Wit, was a meanes that he betooke him to the study of Divinity; and thereupon proceeding Doctour, was made Deane of Paules; and become so rare a Preacher, that he was not only commended, but even admired by all that heard him. The other was Sir Henry Wootton (mine old acquaintance also, as having been fellow pupils, and chamber fellows in Oxford divers yeares together).
