Excerpt from Acred Classics, Vol. 20: Or, Cabinet Library of Divinity

Howe had not been long at Oxford before he was elected a Fellow of Magdalen College. His talents, his amiable disposition, his persevering diligence, and his ardent piety procured him the esteem of the most distinguished among his fellow collegians. With Dr. Thomas Goodwin, president of the College, he was on terms of the closest in timacy; and at his solicitation be united himself with a select society of the most pious and intel ligent students in the university, formed for the purpose of mutual improvement, of which the worthy doctor was the founder. But before he consented to join this society, suspecting that it was formed upon principles more rigorous than he could approve, he candidly stated that he could only consent to be admitted on catholic terms; for as he could freely give to others the liberty to think for themselves, without censuring them, so he claimed to himself the same right.
