In this Church,* 1.1 vpon a marble stone inlaid with brasse, I found the por∣traiture of a Bishop: and these words onely remaining: Credo quod Redem∣ptor meus viuit. And these figures, 1389. Vnder which (as I gather by the date of the yeare of Grace) Thomas Brenton Bishop of Rochester,* 1.2 lyeth in∣terred, who trauelled into many places beyond Seas: and comming to Rome, preached in Latine before the Pope many learned Sermons, which he left behinde him in writing. For which and other his rare parts, he was much admired, and became very famous. The Pope made him his Peniten∣ciarie, and bestowed vpon him this Bishopricke of Rochester; he being be∣fore a Benedictine Monke of Norwich. He was Confessour vnto king Ric. the second; and a singular Benefactour he was to the English Hospitall at Rome. He dyed as before, Ann. 1389.
Hic iacet Dominus de Bryene miles quondam Dominus de Kemsing et Sele qui obijt 13. Septemb. 1395.* 1.3
The family of the Bruins (which I take to bee all one with this name) was a long time famous,* 1.4 as well in Essex, as in this tract. The last I finde of exemplarie note,* 1.5 was one Thomas Bruine, high Sheriffe of Kent, who with the Lord Scales and others, kept the Tower of London, for their Soue∣raigne Lord king Henry the sixth, against the rebellious Earles, Ann. 1460. Reg. 38.
