Pages

An. Dom. 1508

An. 23/24 Hen. 7.

Chancellor, the same.

Commiss.

  • Will. Fauntleroy again.
  • John Thornden again.

Proct.

  • Rob. Carter of Magd. Coll. Austr. elected 10 May.
  • Rowl. Messynger Principal of Little Vniv. Hall in School street. Bor. elected the 11. May.

Of which Proctors having spoken largely elsewhere, I shall only now say, that they were afterwards Servants to, and in favour with, Cardinal Wolsey; the senior of them being Steward of his Houshold, and the junior Controller of his Buildings in Oxon.

Grammarians,

Or such who were admitted to inform and teach in the Fa∣culty of Grammar.

March 17. William Beaumond stiled in our Registers Disertus vir, & vir doctus.—After he had been admitted by the Commissary to instruct Youths in Grammar, he delivered into his hands a Fer∣la and Rod, as badges of his Office, to be used by his Authority. For at this time, and beyond all memory, no person in this Xing∣dom could teach Grammar publickly, until he had first been gra∣duated in, or authorized by, either of the Universities.

Bach. of Musick.

Feb. 12. John Mason.—He was now much in esteem for his Profession.

This year Dec. 12. John Scherman a secular Chaplain and a Stu∣dent in Musick, supplicated the ven. Congregation that he might be admitted Bach. of that Faculty. Whether he was admitted it appears not.

q 1.1

Bach. of Arts.

Oct. 23. John Redman or Redmayne.—One of both his Names was Archdeacon of Taunton, and Prebendary of Milverton in the Church of Wells; in which Dignities he was succeeded by John Fitzjames 1554, as I shall tell you in 1524. See in the year 1543.

Jan. 18. Marmaduke Bona alias Lindsey.—I shall mention him elsewhere.

Jan. 29. John Moreman of Exeter Coll.—He was afterwards Dean of the Cath. Ch. at Exeter.

Besides these, were about 32 more admitted, and about 27 who supplicated for the said degree, but were not admitted this year.

Bach. of the Civ. Law.

Nov. 5. Thom. Bedell of New Coll.—In June 1533 he became Archdeacon of Clievland in the place of Dr. James Denton; which Dignity he resigning in Aug. following, Will. Clyffe LL. D. succeed∣ed. About which time Bedell became Archdeacon of Cornwal, and soon after was appointed one of the Commissioners (Rich. Layton LL. D. and Tho. Barthlet public Notary being two other) to visit Religious Houses in order to their dissolution.

Besides Th. Bedell were thirteen admitted, and eight that sup∣plicated, that were not admitted this year.

Fifteen also were admitted Bac. of Can. Law, and eleven sup∣plicated that were not admitted.

Mast. of Arts.

About fifteen were admitted, and about ten supplicated to be admitted, but were not. Among all which, I cannot yet find any one that was afterwards a Bishop, a Writer, Dignitary, or Man of note.

Bach. of Div.

July—Thomas Beel a Canon Regular of the Order of S. Austin, and Prior of the Students of that Order living in S. Maries Coll.— See more among the D. of D. an. 1514.

Oct. 17. Fr. John Howden a Dominican.

Jan. 16. James Dickson, M. A.

Feb. 1. Fr. Rob. Osbourne a Carme.

Which two last are several times mentioned in the public Re∣gister to be Clari & perdocti viri.

Besides these were about thirteen that supplicated for the said degree, but not admitted this year; among whom was Will. Gylling∣ham of the Order of S. Benedict, who succeeded Rob. Holyngbourne in the Guardianship or Wardenship of Canterbury Coll. in Oxon. about this year.

Doct. of Law.

Not one, either in the Canon or Civ. Law, was licensed to proceed this year.

In the Canon Law were three that supplicated to be Doctors, viz. David Talley Abbat of Tally in the dio of S. David, Will. Wol∣lur, and John Lacy, all Bachelaurs of that Faculty. In the Civil Law was only one, whom I shall mention the next year.

Doct. of Physick.

Nov. 3. Rich. Barthlet mention'd under the year 1503, supplica∣ted that he might be licensed to proceed in Physick; but whe∣ther he was admitted, or did really proceed, or stood in the Act, it doth not, by the neglect of the Registrary, appear in the Regi∣ster of this, or of any year following—He was about this time admitted by the Name of Dr. Rich. Barlot into the Coll. of Physi∣tians in London, and some years after was made President thereof. He died about the latter end of the year 1556, being then possessed of Lands in Cudesdon and Denton in Oxfordshire, and was buried in the Church of Great S. Bartholomew in London. In the Annals of the Coll. of Physitians before-mention'd, is this Character left of him, by the famous Dr. Jo. Cay of Cambridge,

This good and venerable old man (very famous for his Learning, great Know∣ledge and Experience in Physick) died in the 87 year of his Age; at whose Funeral the President and College attended, it being the first time that the Statute Book of the College, adon∣ed with Silver,
was carried before the President.—He the said Dr. Bartlet did bequeath to Allsoules College (his tender Pa∣rent) his Bason and Ewre of Silver, and to his Brother Edm. Bart∣let and his Children of Castel Moreton in Worcestershire several con∣siderable Legacies.

Doct. of Div.

Not one was admitted or licensed to proceed, or stood in the public Comitia, which we usually call the Act.

Four I find who supplicated for the said degree, viz. (1.) Fath. Walt. Goodfield a Minorite, who proceeded in 1510. (2.) Rich. Dudly of Oriel Coll. lately Proctor of the University. (3.) John Mylford a Benedictine and Bac. of Div. (4.) Nicholas Bradbridge M. A. and Fell of Mert. Coll. Which last was afterwards D. of D. and Chancellor of the Cath. Church of Lincoln. He died 14 March 1532, and was buried in the said Cath. Ch. See among the Incor∣porations in 1526.

Incorporations

Nov. 5. John Smyth, D. of D. of Cambridge.

Dec. 12. John Wilcocks D. of D. in Vniversitate Tantaronensis, as the Register saith. Qu. in what Country that University is.
