58. Thomas Woolsey.

OF this man I will onely say thus much in this place, [ 1530] that he was first Bishop of Turney in Fraunce, then of Lincolne, and lastly of Yorke. He was made Car∣dinall an. 1515. and being so qualified to hold more liuings: he held first the Bishopricke of Bathe and Wels in Com∣mendam with Yorke; then resigning Wels, he tooke Dur∣ham; and lastly resigning Durham also, held Winchester in the like sort a little while, scarcely one yéere I take it: for I find that he left Durham the yéere 1530. and in the end of the same yéere, viz. Nouember the 29. he died. Sée more of him in Yorke.
