Romish Exile Writers.

Jo. Heiwood, writes of himself, that he applied Mirth, more then Thrift, many mad Plays, and did few good Works. His Jests were biting. He prin∣ted English Proverbial Epigrams and his pleasant Monumenta Literaria. After the Death of Q. Ma∣ry, (who highly favoured him) he fled for Re∣ligion. He died 156. Whose Son Jasper a Je∣suit was executed in the Reign of Q. Eliz.

Maurice Chamnee, bred a Frier in the Charter∣house. He only escaped when 18 of his Order lost their lives (by him written) for refusing the Oath of Supremacy. 'Tis said he warped to the Will of H. 8. to preserve his Convent from Destruction. He dyed beyond the Seas 1581.

Edm. Campian, bred in Oxf. being Deacon of the Protestant Church, he renounced that Order and fled beyond the Seas. A Man of great Parts and no less Ostentation. Coming over into England with Father Parsons to reduce it to the Church of Rome, he fetched over many (Neuters before) to his perswasion by his Ten Reasons in pure Latine and pithily penned. He was quickly caught by the Setters of Secretary Walsingham, imprisoned, examined on Matters of State, and saw rather than felt the Rack; but a while after he was engaged

in 4 solemn Disputations (in the Chappel in the Tower) to make good a bold Challenge he had made against all Protestants, concerning Scripture, the Church, the Sacrament and Justification; and 'tis said, whatever Questions he there answered, that he answered not the general expectation of his own Party. He was executed 1581.
