These three came to Oxon to be prefer'd in Cardinal Wolsey's Coll. but they proving violent Lutherans, as Cox and Fryth (whom I shall anon mention) did, were forced to leave that College. John Fryer was, upon account of Religion, committed Prisoner to the Master of the Savoy, where he did much solace himself with playing on the Lute, having good skill in Musick; for which rea∣son, a Friend of his would needs commend him to the Master, but the Master answered, Take heed, for be that playeth is a Devil, because he is departed from the Catholick Faith. Afterwards he was set at liberty, and travelling beyond the Seas, he returned to that Religion wherein he was educated, was made Doctor of Phy∣sick, and after his Return, he setled in the Parish of S. Martin Out∣wich in Bishopsgate street in London, where dying in the Winter time, an. 1563, was buried in the Church there. He, with

Hen. Sumner and Richard Coxe, had been bred in Kings Coll. in Cambridge▪ and were esteemed excellent Scholars; but as for Flo∣rentius a Dominican, John Akers, and Mich. Drumm, who came with them, I know nothing, only the two last took the degrees in Arts here, and Drumm one in Divinity.
