It was published after the author’s death by one Tho. Martin, who being unacquainted with his Christian name, set him down in the title by the name of John Madox, tho’ no such person appears to have been ever fellow of All-s. coll. In 1563, one Rich.

K?- Not one doctor of divinity was admitted this year. Incorporations. A supplicate was made for one FIugh Blythe batch, of div. of King’s coll, in Cambridge to be incorporated, but whether it was granted, it appears not.

Barber in the archdeaconry of Leicester. In this last dig¬ nity he was succeeded by Rob.
