<P>THe learned in antiquities have diver&s;ly written about the time of the foundation of the &V;niver&s;itie of <HI>Cambridge:</HI> &s;om affirming it was founded by <HI>Cantaber</HI> a Prince of <HI>Spain,</HI> brother to <HI>Partholinus</HI> King of <HI>Ireland,</HI> &s;onne in law to <HI>Gurguntius</HI> King of Great <HI>Britain,</HI> many yeares before the incarnation of our Saviour Chri&s;t, of who&s;e name (according to the <HI>Spa<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">i&s;h</HI> language) it was fir&s;t called <HI>Cantabriga,</HI> after of his &s;onne <HI>Grantinus</HI> (who is &s;aid to have walled it about) <HI>Grantbriga,</HI> and <HI>Grantbrige.</HI> Others &s;ay, that <HI>Ca&s;&s;ivilanus</HI> Prince of the <HI>Troynobantes,</HI> King <HI>Octavius, Arthur</HI> King of Great <HI>Bitain,</HI> and <HI>Ethelbert</HI> King of <HI>Kent,</HI> were each of them founders or re&s;torers of the &s;ame. But the chiefe&s;t conclude and agree, that <HI>Sigebert</HI> King of the Ea&s;t Angles was the principall Founder thereof, about the yeares <HI>630</HI> and <HI>636,</HI> who a&s;&s;igned dives Ho&s;tles and Hou&s;es for &s;tudents to inhabite in, giving them large priviledges and charters, whereof &s;ome are yet extant, procu|ring al&s;o great immunities from Pope <HI>Honorius</HI> the fir&s;t, which <HI>Sergius</HI> the fir&s;t confirmed. Since which time, by rea&s;on of mny incur&s;ions, and continuall warres between the <HI>Britains, Romanes, Saxons,</HI> the Kings of this Heptarchie, <HI>Danes</HI> and <HI>Normans,</HI> the light and glorie of this Academie was not onely of old much eclip&s;ed; but even &s;ince the Conque&s;t (in the Barons warre.) al&s;o ob&s;cured and defaced: and it is mo&s;t certain, as the de&s;tructions were many, &s;o the re&s;taurations thereof &s;hortly en&s;ued by one Prince or other; &s;o that at length recovering it &s;elf, it is mo&s;t worthily reputed one of the famous &V;niver&s;ities in the world. Muh honour this place hath received by the &s;oones and nephews of Kings, in being Earls thereof, <HI>viz. William</HI> brother to <HI>Ranulph</HI> Earl of <HI>Che&s;ter, John</HI> Earl of <HI>Henault</HI> uncle to <HI>Philip le Beau</HI> King of <HI>France,</HI> who&s;e daughter <HI>I&s;abel</HI> was wife to King <HI>Edwar</HI> the &s;econd, and mother to King <HI>Edward</HI> the third: <HI>William</HI> Marque&s;&s;e of <HI>Juliars, Edmund</HI> of <HI>Langley</HI> Duke of <HI>York, Edward</HI> Duke of <HI>York, Richard</HI> Earl of <HI>Cambridge, Richard</HI> Duke of <HI>York, James</HI> Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Hamleton</HI> Earl of <HI>Arren,</HI> Baron <HI>Hamleton</HI> of <HI>Chattelrault,</HI> &amp;c. and at this pre&s;ent <HI>James</HI> Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Hamleton</HI> Earl of <HI>Arren,</HI> &amp;c.
