To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Their duties were to take part in the ordinary daily services of the Church, to minister to the sick, to teach the young, and exercise all the functions of a Parochial Priesthood. The distinction between the two classes has been thus happily drawn : the great aim of the Regulars would seem to have been to save their own souls, that of the Seculars to save the souls of others as well as ALL SAINTS' COLLEGE. 91 their own. Their Political and Ecclesiastical difference was still more boldly defined.... The Monasteries all claimed to be perfectly independent of the English Hierarchy, and to recognize no superior or controlling authority but the Pope of Home. The Colleges, on the other hand, were entirely subject to their respective Bishops.
Such was the character, such the objects, of the College which the good Archbishop designed to found.
Of the Statutes he may have drawn up, or more probably have sketched out, no record appears to have been preserved either at Maidstone or Canterbury. It is probable, as may be inferred from the several appointments to the Master- ship, that while in its earlier years he thought it wise to retain to himself and to his successor that right, yet, taking warning from the past history of the Rectory, he thought it better to forego it, when once the College was fairly established, and to delegate to the Sub-Master and Fellows the choice of their own Master, not perpetuating to the See what had proved to his predecessors so fruitful a source of contention and strife with King or Pope.
