Evans S. th. bach, was instituted to Llanllechid, vacant per privat. Petri Tudur clerici conjugati. So that indeed for all their marriages, they only exchanged livings, which were of about equall value, which was a common trick at that time. The 20th of Oct. fol¬ lowing Ihom. Griffith was instituted to Abervoyd per privat. Rob. Evans. He was for some time outed of his deanery, and one Rhese Powel was dean, but when installed I do not find, for his institution is not registred, but he dying soon after. 1557, Oct. 27. Rob.

Batchelors of Physic. Three this year supplicated for the said degree, of which, two, as it seems, were admitted, viz. Will. Pye of Oriel coll, who was afterwards a learned divine, and a dean, and John Dotyn of Exeter coll, which last, tho’he hath written nothing, yet he was a learned man, and a benefactor to learning, by giving a house and land to his coll, situate and being in the parish of Brampton in Oxfordshire, (of which place he was one of the vicars) and many choice books to their library, as I have told 1 you elsewhere. He was bene¬ fited in Cornwall, Devonshire, Somersetshire, and Oxford¬ shire, and was also canon of the cathedral church at Exeter. Batchelors of Divinity. Mar. 27. George Cotes or Cootes of Magd. coll. June 25. Walt.

In the first of Edw. 6. he received the honour of knighthood, and when queen Eliz. came to the crown, he was made one of her pi ivy council. He died at Fairford in Gloucestershire, having married the widow of sir Edw. Tame knight, lord of that manor, and was buried in the church there. Over whose grave tho’ there be no inscription, (notwithstand¬ ing, as I remember, there is a monument for him) yet his 2 contemporary in Mert. coll, named John Parkhurst, hath perpetuated his memory by certain epigrams. ^ Jan. 16. Fr. Will. Brown a Minorite.—One Will. Brown became prior of Monk-Bretton in the dioc. of York, about 1523, but 1 take him not to be the same with the Minorite. 29.

Ed. 6. he was archd. of Glocester ; but when queen Mary came to the crown, he left that dignity and certain other spiritualities, 3 and went with his companion and friend John Jewell into Germany, and liv ed as an exile at Strasburgh ; from whence return¬ ing in the beginning of qu.
