This strong Puritan tendency at Cambridge, and particularly at Emmanuel College, disregarded by the sensible Elizabeth was a source of much disturbance to King James. The worthy king after paying two visits to his completely loyal and orthodox University at Oxford, finally came to Cambridge, where all the colleges except Emmanuel painted their buildings, and re-gravelled their walks in his honor.
