Afterwards leaving Oxon, he went to Cambridge the third time, where he commenced D. of D. an. 1535, and was soon after vice- chancellor of that university. In Oct. 1544 he became chancellor of the church of Salisbury on the death of John Edmunds, being then prebendary of North Aulton in the said church ; and in the middle of July 1545, he was col- j71J lated to the archdeaconry of Berkshire on the death of Rob. Audley. On the 17 of March following, he was collated to the prebendship of Chermister and Bere in the church of Sarum, upon the resignation of George Heneage; and in Sept. 1546 (he having been newly incorporated D. of D. as ’tis before told you) was elected master of Univ. coll, being then also prebendary of Winchester. He concluded his lasl; day soon after; whereupon Hen. Parry succeeded him in the chancellorship of Sarum, in Sept. 1547, and in the mas¬ tership of the said coll, one Rich. Salveine M. A.
