Excerpt from Rationalist English Educators In the earlier ages of the nation's existence, education was rooted Obviously in its religious life, it was in the hands of the clergy. Alfred, in his Often-quoted preface to St. Gregory's C an Pastorah's, reminding his countrymm of former days, writes The sacred orders, how zealous they were both in teaching and learning, and in all the services they owed to God, and how foreigners came to this island in search of wisdom. And again, he wrote: I saw before it had been all ravaged and burnt, how the churches throughout the whole of England stood filled with treasures and books, and there was also a great multitude of God's servants, but they had very little knowledge of the books, for they could not understand anything of them, because they were not written in their own language.
