Coke one of the judges who decided it) to the maintenance of God's true religion, the advancement of liberal arts and sciences, the supportation of the ecclesiastical state, the preservation and prosperity of those two famous sisters the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, and of all Colleges within the realm'. But, unfortunately, this decision, by which the College would have recovered possession of a very valuable estate in London that had been illegally alienated in 1574 during Dr Kelke's Mastership, upon the Case being removed into Chancery, was set aside by a decree of Ld. Chancellor Egerton's in 1615; a decree afterwards confirmed by succeeding judges, and finally ratified by a decree of the privy seal; but never acquiesced in by the College, who in later times have made many attempts to recover their rights. According to Fuller at one time well nigh ten thousand pounds was tendered in composition; but Dr Gooche the Master, being a man of an high spirit, well skilled in the laws, and confident of the goodness of his cause, would listen to no composition;'
