Bach. of Arts,
Of above 27 who were admitted this year, none of any note
do yet appear, or are worthy to be remembred, only
Mathew Smyth of Oriel Coll. who was afterwards the first Prin∣cipal
of Brasnose Coll. and a Benefactor to Learning; and ano∣ther
named
John Cottisford of Linc. Coll. afterwards Rector of that House,
and a Dignitary. Both whom were admitted the last of June.
Bach. of the Civil Law,
Or such who were admitted to the reading of any book of
the Institutions.
About 10 were admit••ed this year, among whom Dionis Cala∣kan
(an Irish Man) was one, June ult. Twenty or more also
supplicated for the said Degree, who were not admitted this
year; among whom Tho. Bennet was one, but whether the same
Tho. Bennet who became Chauntor of the Cath. Church of Salis∣bury
in Jan. 1541, I dare not affirm it.
Bach. of the Canon Law,
Or such who were admitted to the reading extraordinary of
any Book of the Decretals or Volumes.
About 17 were admitted this year, of whom Rich. Wykeham
and John Colchester, Benedictine Monks, were of the number, ult.
June, and Nelanus Neal a Carme or White Fryer another. Twelve
also at least supplicated for the same Degree, but were not ad∣mitted,
among whom Thom. Cbeltenham a Benedictine was one.
Mar. 16.
Mast. of Arts,
Jan. 25. Thom. Southerne.—He was afterwards Proct. of the
University, Treasurer of the Cath. Church at Exeter, and Fellow
of Eaton Coll. near to Windsor. He died in 1557. Besides him
were about 20 more admitted Masters of Arts, but none of any
note, that I can yet find, among them.
Bach. of Physick,
Or such who were admitted to the reading of any Book of the
Aphorismes of Hippocrates.
John Parkhouse of Exeter Coll.—He was afterwards Principal
of Hart Hall, and taking holy Orders, became Canon of Exeter
Cath. and a Dignitary elsewhere, which is all I yet know of him.
Bach. of Div.

—He was about this time either a Prior or an Abbot.
Jan. 18. The venerable Father Thom. Charde a Monk of the
Cistercian Order, and Abbat of the Monastery of Foord in Devon∣shire,
was then admitted.—See more under the year 1507.
Doct. of the Civil Law,
None were admitted this year, only several supplicated in order
to be admitted, among whom were John Wardroper Bach. of both
the Laws, Feb. 6.
Doct. of Div.

which time ten Masters of Arts proceeded.
Incorporations,
Or such who have taken a Degree in another University, and
have been embodied or taken into the bosom of this of Oxon, and
have enjoyed the same Liberties and Privileges, as if they had ta∣ken
their Degree here.

(where he was held in great Admiration for that Faculty) was
then solemnly incorporated into the same Degree in the House of
Congregation.
Jan. 24. Rich. Kirkby Mast. of Arts of this Univ. and Bach. of
Divin. of the Univ. of Paris, was incorporated Bach. of Div. of this
University.—Which being done, he supplicated the same day to
be admitted or licensed to proceed in Divinity; but whether grant∣ed
it appears not.
….James Denton Doctor of the Laws, sometimes Fellow of
Kings Coll. in Cambridge▪ did this year supplicate to be incorpo∣rated;
but whether he was really so, it appears not. He was
Chancellour to the Lady Mary Queen Dowager of France, who
was afterwards married to Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, and
so I presume he took that Degree beyond the Seas. About this
time, he being one of the King's Counsellors, and much in savour,
was made Prebendary of York, Lincoln. Salisbury, and in 1510,
Canon of Windsor. In 1521, or thereabouts, he succeeded Dr.
Ralph Collingwood in the Deanery of Lichfie••d, having been installed
Prebendary of that Church by his Proctor Dr. Rich. Salter of Oxon.
an 1509, and in 1523 he became Archdeacon of Clievland in the
Church of York upon the promotion of Dr. Richard Rawlyns of
Mert. Coll. to the See of S. David. This Dr. Denton was also
Lord President of Wales, and dying at Ludlow in Shropshire in 1532,
was there buried. In his Deanery of Lichfield succeeded Dr. Rich.
