    [35] at one birth, were by command of the king, to whom they were presented 6 as he rode in hunting in that country, carefully educated in good letters. Afterwards in gratitude to the place that gave him birth, he built a fair chappel upon, or near, the site where the cottage stood.

Among these must not be forgotten William Hyberden (of Exeter coll, as it seems) who was admitted 23 Nov. having been before, as 'tis said in the public register, batch, of the canon law. He was in these times, and especially after, a most eminent preacher, a person of great devotion, and of devout fasting, and being a most zealous bigot for the church of Rome “ and the pope’s supremacy,” did, while he was benefice d in, or near, Bristol, make it his sole employment to preach against the heretics, as they were in his time called, viz. Luther, Melancthon, Zwinglius, John Fryth, William Tindall, Hugh Latimer, &c. When king Edw. 6. reigned, he withdrew, and continued silent as much as he durst, but when qu. Mary came to the crown, he made it his sole employment to ride about the country and preach in every church, that he approached, against them. See more of him in John Fox his book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, under the year 1555, where you will find him called by the name of Hubberdin an old divine of Oxford.7 Seven also there were that supplicated for the said degree of batch, of div. among whom were William Basyng, a Benedictine, father Philip Davyes, a Dominican, William Swadell of the same order, &c.

Henry 8. Another of that name “ proceeded D. D. at Cambridge 1526. One George Cro- “ mer became archbishop of Armagh 1532. One Dr. Cro- “ mer of Cambr. suffered imprisonment for religion temp. fc Marise.” Incorporations. Oct. 26. Johan Ludovicus Vives LL.
