    archdeaconry, and kept it to 1571, and after. He is stiled by a learned 4 author vir pius & eruditus. Feb. 26. Fa. Tho. Wellys a Benedictine.—He seems to be the same with Tho. Wellys a Ben. who supplicated for the degree of batch, of div. in 1514. This Tho. Wellys was afterwards prior of Gloc. coll. Besides these, were about seven more admitted, among whom Rich. Ewer was one, afterwards one of the first prebendaries of Worcester, Rich. London a Benedictine another, and Tho. Thompson a Franciscan a third. There were also about eight that supplicated, among whom was Tho. Clerke a monk of the Cistercian order; but whether he was admitted I cannot find. Ferhaps he may be the same Tho. Clerk who from being the last abbot of S. Werburgh in Chester (of the Benedictine order, from which the Cistercians have their rise) was made the first dean of the cath. church of Chester. Doctor of the Civil Law. Jan. 30. John Vacham, formerly, as I conceive, of All-s. coll, which is all I yet know of him. Doctors of Divinity. July 9. Rich. Lorgan sometimes fellow of Oriel coll, afterwards principal of S. Mary’s hall, now divinity reader of Magd. coll, was then admitted D. of D. but did not pro¬ ceed till 1535. John Hurleston or Huddleston a Carme, did suppli¬ cate for the deg. of doct. but I cannot find him admitted. See among the incorporations in 1533. Incorporations. Jul. 20. Geo. Browne a fryer of the order of St. Austin, and doct. of div. of another university, was then incorpo¬ rated.—He was afterwards archbishop of Dublin. About this time the famous Ralph Gualter of Zurich studied in Oxon,5 for the sake of libraries and scholastical company. Afterwards he became an eminent theologist of the reformed persuasion, and author of many books. An. Dom. 1535.—97 Hen. VIII. The same. The same. Chancellor. Commissary. Proctors. Batchelors of Music. Jul. 12. Tho. Mendus a secular chaplain, was then ad¬ mitted to the reading of any musical book of Boetius. One Tho. Bryghtwyn a secul. chapl. did supplicate for the said degree, but whether he was admitted it appears not. Batchelors of Arts. Jul. 5. Edw. Quemmerford an Irish man.—He is re¬ ported by a writer of his country to be a learned man, as indeed he was, considering the time he lived in, as other authors also tell us. One Nich. Quemmerford I have men¬ tioned among the writers, but what this Edward hath writ¬ ten I cannot yet find. About 41 were admitted this year, and about ten suppli¬ cated who were not admitted. Batchelors of Civil Law. Jul. 12. Henry Siddall.— He was afterwards canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. and in the reign of Edw. 6, a great ad¬ mirer 7 and follower of Pet. Martyr, a turner about in queen Mary’s reign, and a returner 3 in that of queen Elizabeth, such was the mutability and poor spirit of the man. See more among the doctors of div. in 1552, and 1558. Besides him were seven admitted, of whom Richard Plunket a secular chaplain was one, and nine supplicated for the said degree, but were not admitted. Batchelors of Canon Law. Apr. 24.

Turner of Magd. coll. art. bac. suppli- “ cated for the degree of M. A. but I find him not admitted, “ nor his name among those that stood in the act that year, “ or any year following.” Edm. Shether of All-s.'C. elect. 1st day of East. term. John Pollet again, elect. 1st day of East. term. Which proctors, especially the senior, having received divers affronts from the townsmen, were, with their retinue, forced to walk in the streets day and night, armed. And when the said Shether was going out of his office, it was decreed by the members of the univ. that in case he should be any ways vexed or molested by the oppidans, he might 6 defend himself at the university charge.
