At the time at which they were invited to Oxford, they were tainted, or some of them were tainted, in the eyes of the Cambridge authorities, with suspicion of heterodoxy; and it is creditable to Wolsey's liberality, that he set aside these unsubstantiated rumours, not allowing them to weigh against ability, industry, and character.

Its leading doctrine was State Rights; its whole course of action, culminating in the Dred Scott decision, has been in the direction of Centralization. During all these changes, it has contrived to have the Constitution always on its side by the simple application of Swift's axiom, "Orthodoxy is my doxy, Heterodoxy is thy doxy," though it has had as many doxies as Cowley.
Or, who would have heard of the existence of the Grand Duke of Wurtemburg of some ninety years back, but for his petty persecution of Schiller?

London to the Bishop of Lincoln: Rolls House MS. Ibid. Dr. Forman, rector of All Hallows, who had himself been in trouble for heterodoxy. Dr. London to the Bishop of Lincoln, Feb. 20. 1528: Rolls House MS. Now Cokethorpe Park, three miles from Stanton Harcourt, and about twelve from Oxford. The village has disappeared. Vicar of All Saints, Bristol, to the Rector of Lincoln: Rolls House MS.
He felt them personally in this case because of their seeming to stretch grotesquely by the pretentious heterodoxy of the young fellow, whom, nevertheless, thinking him over now that he was mentioned, he approved for his manliness in bluntly telling his origin and status. A chalet supplied them with fresh milk, and the inn of a village on a perch with the midday meal.
