8 Herbert. Stowe. ^ Herbert. HaU. -* Strype. 232 KATHAEINE PAKR. Letter from Queen Katharine Parr. * ** To our right trusty, dear, and well-heloved the Chancellor and Vtee* chancellor of my lord the Kinrfs majesty's University of Cambridge, and to the whole said university there. " Your letters I have received, presented on all your behalfs by Mr. Dr. Smythe, yoiu- discreet and learned advocate.^ And as they be Latinly written, which is singnyfyed unto me by those that be learned in the Latin t...ongue, so [I know] you could have uttered your desires and opinions famiharly in your vulgar tongue, aptest for my intelligence, albeit you seem to have conceived, rather partially than truly, a favourable estimation both of my going forward and dedication to learning, which to advance, or at least conserve, your letters move me. " This passage must not be considered by the reader as any contradiction of her attainments as a Latin scholar, because, notwithstanding her denial of learning, the queen meant not to be taken at her word as ignorant of the language in which the university had addressed her, for she uses, in the course of the letter, a very apt Latin quotation.
