    ♦ 155 1558. FASTI OXONIENSES. 1559. 156 They were both learned physicians, and were also ad¬ mitted then to practise. Admitted 6. Batchelors of Divinity . Jul. 5. John Piers of Magd. coll. 9. Fran. Babington of All-s. coll.—See among the doct. of div. an. 1559. But two more, besides the said two, were admitted, and three there were that supplicated 5 one of whom was called frat. Anton. Reschius or RasChius, who for the space of twelve years had studied divinity in Paris and Oxford. Flis grace was granted simpliciter in July, but whether he was ever admitted it appears not. He was one of the fryers that was appointed by public authority to undo the doctrine that P. Martyr and others had setled in the university in the time of K. Ed. 6. and is the same, if I mistake not, whom John Fox, in his book of Acts and Mon. of the Church, doth call fryer Richard in his discourse of the burning of archb. Cranmer at Oxon. Doctors of Civil Law, Jul. 8. Thom. Powell.6 7—On the second day of Jul. 1563 he was admitted archd. of Worcester in the place of Pet. Vannes deceased, and resigning in 1579, was succeeded by Godfr. Goldesborough. Thom. Keymis or Keymish was admitted the same day. Doctors of Physic. May 13. Thom. Phaer—The same who took the deg. of batch, of phys. on the 6 of Feb. going before. For the same degree also did supplicate Rich. Sly- thurst M. A. and batch, of physic, but was not admitted, or licensed to proceed. Doctors of Divinity. Jul. 6. Fr. Joh. de Villa Garcia or Garcina the king’s public professor of div. in this university.—This person, who was now very forward in promoting the Rom. Cath. cause in this university, (being authorized by public autho¬ rity) was born at a town in Spain called Garcia or Garce- vile, and being from his childhood much addicted to letters, he was while a boy, received among, and instructed by, the Dominicans or Black Fryers in his own country 5 so that in a short time profiting much under them in several sorts of [88] Naming, especially in divinity, he took the degree of batch, of that faculty in the university of Valladolid, being then a member of St. Gregory’s coll, there. Afterwards upon the performance of certain exercise for the said degree in the university, had it conferr’d upon him, as I have told you, under the year 1555; and this year being licensed to pro¬ ceed, stood in an act celebrated in St. Mary’s church on the 11 of July. This is the person, who, with Hen. Syddal canon of Ch. Ch. a very inconstant man in his religion, took great pains in persuading archb. Cranmer to recant his opinions, when he was condemn'd to be burnt at Oxon, and the same who hath this character given of him by one ? living in his time in this university.—Prselegit autem nostra memoria frater Johannes Hispanus scientissimus, cum 27 non excesserat annos; Platonis autem disciplinarum cyclo- pediam absolvisset: turn apud philosophos Oxonienses Pla- 6 [1566. Dec. 1. One Tho. Powell was instituted to the archdeaconry of St. Asaph, vacant by the resignation of Richard Rogers, suffragan of Dover Dec. 1. 1566, and to the rectory of Hirnant Dec. 5. 1588. He had also the rectory of Llanfechen, and dyed in Spring 1589, 90. Humphreys ] 7 Miles Windsore in Collectaneis suis, MS. in bibl. C. C. C. Oxon tonicam & Aristotelicam, mysticam & sacram professus est &c. Whether he hath published any books I cannot tell. Sure I am, that after qu. Elizabeth came to the crown he returned to the country from whence he came, leaving then behind him the character of a most subtile philosopher and theologist. This fryer was the only person that was admitted D. of D. this year 5 and but three there were that supplicated for the said degree, among whom were Baldwyn Norton batch, of div. and divinity reader of Magd. coll, who the next year became prebendary of Langtoft in the ch. of York.8 Creations. Jul. 8. John Boxhall batch, of div. of New coll, now secretary of state to qu. Mary, dean of Windsor, &c. was, tho’ absent, actually created doctor of div. by a certificate, or as we now call it a diploma, sent to him under the seal of the university. An. Dom. 1559.—1-2 Eliz. Chancellor. Hen. Fitzalan earl of Arundel, who resigning his office 12 June this year, sir John Mason, one of the queen’s privy - council, was elected chancellor again, 20 of the same month: in which vacancy Dr. Tresham was canc. natus. Commissaries. Dr. Will. Tresham, in one year’s space twice cancel- larius natus, who continuing in his office ’till Michaelmas, Dr. John Warner of All-s. coll, succeeded, as it seems, by election, mention being made of his resignation.

Bristow was admitted the same day. May 8. Leonard Fitzsimons of Trin. coll. 30. Rich. Whyte of New coll.—The same who after¬ wards wrote himself in the titles of his books Ricard. Vitus Basingstochius. Jun. 5. Lawr. Tomson of Magd. coll. Nov. 27- Tho. Kingsmill of Magd. coll. Feb. 19. Will. Sheperey of C. C. coll.—The same who afterwards wrote himself in the title of a learned book which he published Guliel. Sceprseus. Admitted 50, Masters of Arts. Dec. 14. Joh. Watkyns of All-s. coll.—He was after¬ wards proctor of the university and dean of Hereford. See among the batch, of div. 1569. Feb. 16. Pet. Morwyn or Morwyng of Magd. coll. In the said month of Feb. did supplicate for the said de¬ gree Pet. Levens of the same coll, but whether admitted it appears not ■ however in his book entit. The Path Way to Health, he writes himself M. of A. of Oxon. Admitted 18. 8 [Baldwin Norton S. T. B. admiss. ad rect de Downham com. Essex, 25 Aug. 1550, ad pres. Jo. com.
