BOOK We may note, that the endowments of these schools were
• for the most part out of the chantry lands, given to the
Anno 1553. King in the first of his reign, according to the intent of the

dowed with . . . .
chantry stitious uscs unto more godly, as in erecting grammar
why! ^" schools for the education of youth in virtue and godliness,
for further augmenting the universities, and better provi-
sion for the poor. And the King was so honest and just, to
lay them out in a very considerable measure for these good
ends intended.
