Oxford, where he graduated in 1628. In his See also:thirty-third See also:year he had already become renowned for the obstinate zeal with which he supported the falling See also:dynasty of the Stuarts, and was rewarded for his services with the prebend and rectory of See also:Cudworth, with the See also:chapel of Knowle annexed, in See also:Somersetshire.

He himself once boasted that sixteen of the bishops who then occupied the See also:bench had been birched with his " little See also:rod." No school in See also:England has on the whole produced so many eminent men as Westminster did under the regime of Busby. Among the more illustrious of his pupils may be mentioned See also:South, See also:Dryden, See also:Locke, See also:Prior and See also:Bishop See also:Atterbury. He wrote and edited many See also:works for the use of his scholars.
