The word "Peruse."

I find the word *Peruse* employed as a substantive, and apparently as equivalent to *Examination*, in the following part of a sentence in the martyr Fryth's works, Russell's ed., p. 407.: —"He would have been full sore ashamed so to have overseen himself at Oxford, at a peruse." Can any of your correspondents cite a corresponding instance of its use, or say whether it is still retained at Oxford as the name of any academic exercise?
