INTRODUCTION TO PART II

The documents contained in this second volume of Responsa Alumnorum are of substantiallythe same kind as those contained in thefirst volume. The students'replies to the questions set them on entering the English College in Rome tend, in this later period, to becomemore stereotyped. The lives of the applicants are less full of incident, and conform more to a pattern , as persecution relaxes and the education of Catholic children abroad becomes a matter of course .

Until 1658 the questionnaire set to the scholars remained the same, except for insignificant variants, as the one drawn up in the rectorship of Father Persons in 1597. This questionnaire is reprintedafter this Introduction After 1658, a more detailed set of questions was used, and the examination was supposed to be completed beforethe intending scholar set out for Rome . The first Responsa written in answerto the longer questionnaire are thoseof John Richardson, whose Liber Ruber number is 924 (page 558ofthis volume). His answers , and those of the scholars who follow him, were written in a column down the right hand side ofthe page, the left hand side being taken up with the questions, whichwere now written out in full before each answer. The appearance presented by these later Responsa can be judged from the sample list of questions set out below, with an English translation of the queries takingupthe space whichin the originals is taken upbytheanswers .

SUMMARY

[873] BROWNE Thomas, alias Dixon, son of John Esq , 24 , born in his father's house at Bromley, Kent, and brought up a heretic. Son ofa famous arms manufacturer, who supplied first theKing and now the Parliament , and whose prosperitydepends entirely on his skill and varies fromtime to time; had an elder brother, now dead; has a younger brotherwho lives in England, married tothedaughter ofWalter Dobbet Esq of the parish of Street near Lewes in Sussex ; hasonesister married to Thomas Healyof Staffordshire or Worcestershire , who now lives with her husband in London ; all heretics. When 17 was sent to Holland to study at Leyden ; neglected philosophy through doubts about religion, being in any case unfit through insufficient knowledge of humanities. Went to Flanders a year later; after3 months returned to England via Holland, in good health (as always) and now a Catholic After suffering some

vexationfor religion's sake, he studied medicine this last year and would have progressed well had it not been for his father's unexpected severity Owes his conversion to Thomas Wetenhall , a well known pious Catholic nobleman withwhom he shared a house; was received into the Church a year and a quarterafterWetenhall's departure, being taken by a French master to Fr. Collins, a Dominican at Leyden, who reconciled him. This year, seeing his father's increasing bigotry, he has come to Rome with the hope ofstudying until he learns his father's decision, whichhe will obey if he can do so in good conscience ; if his fatherwill not have him back, he will studytheology and try to serve his countrywhether as priestorlayman.
