He proceeded to his M.A. degree in 1588, and was soon afterwards elected fellow of Caius College. In a ''Concio ad Clerum,'' preached by him for the degree of B.D. at Church of St Mary the Great, Cambridge, on 29 April 1595, he violently attacked the Calvinist tenets, then popular at Cambridge. While rejecting the doctrine of assurance and of the indefectibility of grace, he also handled with unusual freedom the names of Calvin, Peter Martyr, and other believers in unconditioned reprobation.

After several conferences, in which Barret acknowledged the justice of the inferences drawn from his sermon, he was ordered to recant. H ...
