23. Iohn Wakering.

IOhn Wakering, that for his life, learning, and wisedome, was esteemed nothing inferior to his predecessor, being kée∣per of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 seale, was elected by the Couent, and conse∣crated Bishop of Norwich, by Henry Chichley Archbishop of Canterbury ann. 1416. In his time the Counsell of Con∣stance was holden; vnto the which this Bishop with many other, were sent out of England by the King. In that charge he so behaued him selfe, that he obtained great commenda∣tion for the same. He built the Cloyster which is now to be seene in the Bishops pallace, pauing the same with stones of diuers colours: And hauing gouerned his charge with great praise, he died and was buried in the Cathedrall Church be∣fore the Aulter of Saint George.
