Nine besides were admitted, (of which number were John Doove

(3) Fath. Simon Clerkson a Carme. (4) Fath. John Cardmaker a
Minorite, who had spent 16 years here and at Cambridge in Lo∣gic,
Philosophy, and Divinity; but whether admitted, it appears
not. This Cardmaker did about the time of the dissolution of Ab∣beys
1535, preach very freely against the Power of the Pope,
and afterwards was made Prebendary of Wells. In the Reign of
K. Ed. 6. he took to him a Wife, and had by her a Female Child,
and became a Reader in Pauls, where his Lectures were so much
offensive to the Rom. Cath. Party, that they abused him to his
face, and with their knives would cut and haggle his Gown. About
that time he was made Chancellor of the Church of Wells by the
name of John Tayler alias Cardmaker▪ and was looked upon there
and at London as the most zealous Minister to carry on the work
of Reformation. At length when Qu. Mary came to the Crown
he was deprived of his Spiritualities, and imprisoned in the Fleet,
was had before the Bishop of London and the Spiritual Power, to
know whether he would recant his Heresie as they called it, but
he stifly denying it, and therefore condemned to dye, he was
burnt in Smithfield 30 May 1555, as John Fox in his Book of Acts
and Mon. of the Church will tell you.

of the year 1549.
Will. Petre of Alls. Coll. was admitted the same day.—This wor∣thy
Person was Son of John Petre a rich Tanner of Torbryan in
Devenshire, and was originally of Exeter Coll. Thence he was
elected Fellow of Alls. Coll. in 1523, and afterwards became suc∣cessively
Principal of Peckwater's Inn, one of the Visitors of Religi∣ous
Houses when they were about to be dissolv'd, Master of the
Requests and a Knight, Secretary and one of the Privy Council to
K. Hen. 8 and Ed. 6. Sub-Treasurer, afterwards Treasurer, to
K. Ed. 6. of the first Fruits and Tenths, Secretary of the Privy
Council to Q. Mary, in whose time he was Chancellor of the Order
of the Garter, and at length of the Privy Council to Q. Elizabeth.
He died 13 Jan. 1571, and was buried in the Church of Ingerston
in Essex on 11 Feb. following. The learned Cambden saith, that
he was a man of approved Wisdom and exquisite Learning, and not so
much memorable for those honorable Places and Offices of State which
he bare, and for his oftentimes being sent in Embassage to foreign
Princes as for that being bred and brought up in good Learning, he
well 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Learning in the Vniversity of Oxford, and was
