    his thoughts and studies, he erected a fabric of stone in his garden, situated on the east side of his lodgings, wherein he partly composed his Commentary on the first Ep. to the Corinthians, and certain Epistles to learned Men, which were afterwards printed. This fabric, which contained two stories, stood till the latter end of March 16'84, at which time the}' were plucked down by that canon Dr. Henry Aldrich that was owner of the lodgings to which the garden and fabric apper- tained. About that time Martyr's wife dying, she was buried in the cathedral church, near to the place where S. Frideswyde's reliques had been re- posed ; but four years after, or thereabouts, her body was taken up, thrown out of the church with scorn, and buried in a dunghill; but when Q. Elizab. came to the crown, the body was taken up again and reburied, as I have elsewhere ' at large told 3ou. In one of his epistles dated at Zurich 4 Nov. 1559, being more than five years after he had left the kingdom, he tells us that he never us'd the surplice when he lived in Oxon, though he were canon of Ch. Ch. and frequently present in the choir. Ibid, in Dr. Heylin, an. 1550. After the death of K. Edw. 6, and religion alter'd when his sister Mary was settled in the throne. Pet. Martyr left Oxon, went to London, and so to Lambeth : and obtaining his safe conduct from the queen, he left England, and went to Strasburgh from whence he came, where he taught philosophy and divinity for some time. Thence he travell'd to Zurich an. 1556, where he met with Job. Juell and several exil'd divines of England, and took to his second wife one Katha- rina Merenda. While he continued there, Max- imilian Celsiis, an exil'd count, and the chief minister of the Italian church at Geneva, died; whereupon being invited to take his place upon him,refused it for several reasons. When Q.Mary died, Q. Elizabeth invited him to return into Eng- land, and there to accept of what preferment he pleased, but he fearing another mutation, modestly refused it. To pass by several other matters not now fit to be related, I shall give you the titles of some of his works as they ibllovv. Comment, in Epist. S. Pauli ad Romanos. Bas. 1558, foi. [Bodl. M. 6. 8.
