Commiss. Dr. Cottysford.

  • Proct.
    • John Warner of Alls. Coll.

The Senior of which Proctors, was, after he had been 7 weeks in his office, admitted to the reading of the Aphorismes of Hypo∣crates.

Bach. of Arts.

Dec. 3. John Shepreve or Shepry of C. C. Coll. now in great esteem for his sufficiencies in the Greek and Hebrew tongues.

13. John Whyte of New Coll.—He was afterwards successively B. of Linc. and Winchester.

Forty eight more, or thereabout, were admitted, and but six that supplicated for the said Degree, who were not this year ad∣mitted.

Bach. of Civil Law.

March 3. Henry Cole of New Coll.—I have spoken largely of him among the Writers.

Besides him were but ten Bachelers of the Civil Law admitted, and but one that supplicated for that Degree.

Bach. of Can. Law.

Apr. 2. John Salysbury—I take him to be the same who was afterwards Bishop of the Isle of Man. Qu.

Dec. 2. Will. Thomas—See among the Writers under the year 1554.

Fifteen in all were admitted this year, and about nine there were that supplicated, who were not admitted.

Mast. of Arts.

Apr. 13. Owen Oglethorp of Magd. Coll.—He was afterwards Bishop of Carlile.

Jun. 21. John Akers a Can. of Card. Coll.—He was somtimes of the University of Cambridge, where he was esteemed a learned Man, &c.

Besides these two, were about 25 admitted, and but six that supplicated for the said Degree, among whom were Robert Talbot of New Coll. afterwards a learned and judicious Antiquary, Thom. Goldwell, afterwards B. of St. Asaph, and Leonard Cox the learned Schoolmaster of Reading in Berks.

Bach. of Physick.

Jun. ult. John Warner M. A. Fellow of Alls. Coll. and one of the Proctors of the University was admitted Bach. of Physick, and at the same time was licensed to practise the same faculty.—He was a learned Man of his time, but hath published nothing, and a great intruder into Ecclesiastical Benefices and Dignities, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

Opponents in Div.

May 7. Father John ap Rice a Cistercian, and Abbat of Strat∣markell in the Dioc. of St. Asaph.—He was now resident in St. Bernards Coll. where he obtained his knowledge in Divinity, but whether he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences which usually follows opposition in Divinity, it appears not. The other two Fathers that opposed with him were admitted, as I am now about to tell you.

Bach. of Div.
  • Jun. 28. Fath. Rich. Horte or Hart
  • Dec. 17. Fat. Thom. Bylond
    • Can. Regulars.

Both which were about this time either Abbats or Priors.

For the said Degree (to which but 4 in all were admitted) sup∣plicated at least nine, among whom were Fath. John Hayward a Can. regular, (the same, if I mistake not, that fitted for the Uni∣versity Father Rob. Persons the Jesuit, as I have before told you) Fath. Thomas Richmond a Cistercian Monk, Fa. Jo. Wygge an Au∣stin Fryer, &c.

Doct. of Law.

Not one in the Canon, or Civ. Law was admitted, or did pro∣ceed this year.

Doct. of Div.

Dec. 16. John Moreman of Exeter Coll.—This Person who was very learned in his time, and hath (as 'tis thought) written several matters of his faculty, but lost, was born at Southole in De∣von, and after he had left his Coll. became Vicar of Mayhanet in Cornwall; where, with much labour, he taught the Parishioners to say the Lords Prayer, Belief, and 10 Commandments in the En∣glish tongue, about the latter end of the Reign of K. Hen. 8. being the first of all that did so in that Country. He was afterwards as 'tis said, Dean of Exeter, and being 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to the B. thereof, was

(as John Fox* 1.1 saith) made Bishop of that place after his decease. This Coadjutorship was in Oct. 1554 as he saith; but how he could succeed the then Bishop (who was Dr. Voysey) I cannot yet perceive. Voysey died in 1555, and Dr. Moreman died at Mayha∣net, before Oct. 1554.

Feb. 1. Fath. Edm. Brycot a Minorite or Franciscan.—One Bry∣cot was a famous Philosopher of Oxon, as his Books shew, but his Christian name I think was Thomas. This Brycot was the same, if I mistake not, with Dr. Biycot Parson of Hadham† 1.2 in Hertfordshire in the Reign of Qu. Mary.

17. Fr. Tho. Charnocke a Dominican or Black Fryer.

24. Rich. Mawdley or Mawdlen Archdeacon of Leicester.—This person who was a zealous and frequent Preacher against the Lu∣therans died in 1530, whereupon Steph. Gardiner Dr. of the Civ. Law of Cambridge. succeeded him in that Archdeaconry, in the latter end of March 1531; but he keeping it but till Sept. follow∣ing, was then succeeded in that Dignity by Edw. Fox, who was afterwards Bishop of Hereford.

24. Will. Mortymer.—He was soon after Margaret Professor of this University.

Mar. 15 Rob. Cooke.—He, with Mortymer, Moreman, and Mawdlen, before mention'd, were zealous Enemies against the Kings Divorce from Qu. Catherine this year.

Incorporations

Nov. 17. John Hopton a Dominican or Black Fryer, D. of D. of the University of Bononia, was incorporated by these words spoken by the Commissary from the Chancellour's Chair, Pater Johan. nos admittimus te & incorporamus ad standum in eodem gradu & sta∣tu, quo stetisti Bononiae: ac concedimus facultatem legendi, disputan∣di reliquaque faciendi, quae spectant ad Doctoris statum in illa facultate incorporati, &c. See more in the year 1532.

Feb. 19. Leonard Cox Bach. of Arts of Cambridge.—Afterwards he supplicated for the degree of Master, as 'tis before told you.

Mar. 15. Reb. Aldridge M. of A. and Bach. of Div. of Cambridge, was incorporated B. of D.—See among the Doctors of Div. in the year following.
