Having done with the Preachers, I have only to add, That the Foundation is now altered by *Royal Book of the Dispensation; from so many Sermons ad Populum p. 118. in the several Diocesses, to one Sermon ad Clerum in the University, at the Beginning of Easter Term; and so this Excellent Lady having taught the ignorant, whilst such Instruction was wanted, the World being now wiser, She instructs the Learned both in the Pulpit and the Chair.
