John Bosforus, a Cistercian monk of St. Ber¬ nard’s coll, in the North suburb of Oxon, and abbot of Tiltey in Essex. About the same time he supplicated for the degree of batch, of div. which, I presume was granted, tho’ not set down in the register. He is sometimes written John Browne alias B'rome. Nov. 19. Frat. Rob. Low, or Law, a Carme. Whether he was adm. batch, of div. according to the custom of those that oppose in that fac. it doth not appear in the public register. See more of him among the doct. of div. in 1520. Besides these, were eleven more that opposed -} most of whom were afterwards adm. batch, of div. Batchelors of Divinity. “ Mar. 28.
