“ Hickman proves that King James, thinking the Thirty-nine Articles sufficient, and being told that the Lambeth Articles had been drawn up at a special crisis with a view to pacification, decided to leave them outside the Prayer-Book for the use of Divines only. “When such questions (said his Majesty) do arise among scholars, the quietest proceeding is to determine them in the University, and not to stuff the Book with conclusions theological.” ”

“ Monsieur Baron would give his name as Petrus Baro, and hence he became known as Mr. Barrow. As Petrus Baro he was entered in the books of Cambridge University, where he was incorporated on 3d September 1575, as Licentiate of Civil Law, and also received the degree of D.D.; the adjective Stempanus was sometimes added to his name to indicate the place of his nativity. He seems to have been appointed Lady Margaret’s Professor of Divinity at Cambridge as early us 1574, although he did not draw the stipend till 1576 ”

“ One of Heylin’s arguments was that “Doctor Baro” was an avowed opponent of the Lambeth Articles, and “that Bishop Bancroft, when Baro died in London, three or foure yeares after his leaving Cambridge, took order to have most of the Divines in and about London to attend his Funeral — this plainly shows that there were many of both Universities that openly favoured Baroes doctrines” (p. 90) . To this Hickman rejoins, “But do we indeed favour — and plainly declare that we favour — the opinions of those whose Funeralls we attend? ”
