Riassunto

Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 32: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation, Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time

He now returned home to his father in Lincolnshire; and his uncle, the abbot, finding that he had made some progress in grammatical learning, advised that he should he sent to the university. Accordingly he entered of Queen' s college, Cambridge, about 154-8, but soon after. Removed to Pembroke hall, where the celebrated John Bradford, the martyr, was his tutor. He had not been here long before he was recommended by his tutor and Mr. Grindal (then fellow, and afterwards archbishop of Canterbury) to the master, Nicholas Ridley, by which means he was made scholar of that house, and chosen bible clerk. These advantages were the more acceptable to him, as his father had suffered some great losses at sea, and was less able to provide for him. When Bradford left Cambridge In 1550, Whitg'ift was placed under the care of Mr. Gregory Garth, who continued his tutor while he remained at Pembroke-hall, which was until he took his degree of bachelor of arts in 1553-4. The following year, he was unanimously elected fellow of Peter-house, and commenced master of arts in 1557.
