This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. OF THE STUDY OF POLEMICAL DIVINITY, PREVALENT AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. There was one particular course of studies in which James the First himself had instructed his son—that of the dogmas and the controversies of the theology of the times. In these pursuits Charles was a docile pupil, and in his first speech to Parliament, to repel the malicious rumour of his inclination towards the Roman See, he proudly declared, " I may, with St. Paul, say, that I have been trained up at Gamaliel's feet.'' His father advised the Prince's chaplains, who went to Spain, not to engage in unnecessary disputations on religion; but if challenged, the Prince would be moderator, and observing them smile, he earnestly added—it is said he swore, that " Charles could manage a point in controversy with the best studied divine of ye all." Nor was the commendation partial. In his conference with the Presbyter Henderson, the King, without books for reference, or a secretary by his side, during a tedious fortnight, fought that memorable theological logomachy, till the hoary adversary of episcopacy, covered with the dust of his library, retired with a broken spirit. It is probable that neither convinced the other; but this did not the less exhaust the old man's vexation, and may have accelerated his death. To these studies Whitelocke ascribes that aptitude of Charles the First which made him so skilful a summer-up of arguments, and endowed him with such a clear perception in delivering his decisions. The King's readiness in contracting a lengthened and methodising an involved discussion, was remarked by another great lawyer, Sir Robert Holborne: he observed that " the King could drive a matter into a head with more sharpness than any of his privy council."
