"Upon this occasion I might repeat what I have observed before,
page 33. of these _Annals_, where the highest fellowships in
Oxford in 1534 or 1535 did not exceed 6_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._, nor the
lowest fall under 3_l._, and that was in Brazen Nose College; at
which time New College fellowships were but rated at 3_l._ 9_s._
4_d._, nor any of Magdalen fellowships (_except two for Yorkshire
that were obliged to go and preach in the countries abroad_) above
3_l._ 15_s._ 4_d._, as may be found in Mr. Twine's MS."--Smith's
_Annals of Univ. Coll._ p. 372.
