The latter part of his life may be said to be a continued study; for as he usually preached once a week, if not oftner, so after his Sermon he never gave his eyes rest, till he had chosen out a new Text, and that night cast his Sermon into a form, and his Text into divisions; and the next day betook himself to consult the Fathers, and so commit his meditations to his memory, which was excellent.

worsen. Furthermore, he resoundingly failed to control the din of visitors
and tradespeople which rang through various parts of the cathedral. The
noise was a great hindrance to the services preached from the choir in an
adjacent area of the church, separated from the mob by a mere screen.
