Hen. 8. and did act much to please the unlimited desire of that king. In Oct. 1541, he, under pretence of his majesty’s pleasure, converted the silver cap- sula gilt (in which were then the bones of the head of S. William archbishop of York reposed) with the jewels and ornaments of it, to the public use and benefit of the church of York. In 1544. Dec. 24. Nich. Wotton LL.

Rob.Froost was then admitted Dr. of the civil iaw, but never stood in the act to compleat that degree. This year March 29, John Ashdowne, mentioned before, did supplicate just after he had been admitted batch, of the can. law, to be licensed to proceed in that faculty, but it was not granted. Robert Coke also LL. B. and principal of Henxsey hall in S. Aldate’s parish, did supplicate to be licensed to proceed in the civil law, but was then denied. Doctors of Divinity. May 12.

Batchelors of Law. ,1 Four in the civil, and eight in the canon law were ad¬ mitted. Nine in the civil, and five in the canon law suppli¬ cated for that degree. One was admitted batch, of both the laws, and one to the volumes. One Hen. Rawlyns occurs batch, of the civil law this year, but his admission is omitted; and therefore all that I can say of him is, that he became archdeacon of Salisbury 10 Apr. 1524, upon the death of James Bromwich, who had that dignity conferr’d upon him 2 March 1523, after the decease of George Sydenham.3 This H. Rawlyns who was prebendary of Faringdon, and had been thrice preb. of Combe and Harnham, in the said church, within the space of four years, was made at the same time (10 Apr. 1524.) preb. of Husborne and Burbach in the said church of Sarum.
