JUDGE BURNET, son of the famous Bishop of Salisbury, when young, is said
to have been of a wild and dissipated turn. Being one day found by the
Bishop in a very serious humor, What is the matter with you, Tom? said

History of the Reformation, answered the son. Ay! what is that? said
the Bishop. The reformation of myself, my lord, answered the son.
