19. Simon Laugham.
INnocentius translated then Reginald Bryan Bishop of [ 1361] Worcester vnto Ely. But he died before he could take benefit of the Popes gift. Iohn Buckingham afterward Bishop of Lincolne was then chosen, and was reiected by the Pope, who preferred to this Sée Simon Laugham Abbot of Westminster. He continued here but fiue yeeres, being in that space first Treasurer, then Chauncellor of England, and was remooued to Canterbury. Of his translation some merry fel∣low made these verses:
Laetentur 〈◊〉〈◊〉 quia Simon transit ab Ely,Cuius in aduentum flent in Kent 〈◊〉〈◊〉 centum.
Sée more of him in Canterbury.
