[Back to Top]Vpon the Sonday folowyng beyng the xx. of October Doct. WestonMarginaliaD. Westons Popish Sermon at Paules. preached at Paules Crosse.
CloseThe account of Weston's Paul Cross sermon of 22 October 1553 (1570, p. 1636; 1576, p. 1395; 1583, p. 1466) was clearly based on someone's notes. (By the way, Foxe refers to a rebuttal of this sermon by Coverdale; this has not survived).
In the weeke folowyng, began the disputations in the conuocation house in Paules Church, whereof sufficient hath bene before declared. pag. 1571.
The. xxvj. day of October, the Vicechauncellour of Cambridge went to Clarehall, and in the presence of Doctor Walker, displaced Doctor Madew, and placed Maister Swynborne in the Maistership there, by force of the Lord Chauncellours letters, for that he was (as they termed it) Vxoratus, that is, maryed.
[Back to Top]MarginaliaRunning before the law:The. xxviij. day of October, the Papists in the kings colledge in Cambridge (not tarying the making of any law, but of theyr blinde zeale) had their whole seruice againe in the Latine toung, contrary to the lawe then in force.
The last of October, the Vicechauncellour of Cambridge, did sharpely reproue and threaten one Maister Thrackold, for that he challenged the sayd Vicechauncelour, who had suffered Maister Bouell (contrary to the statutes then in force) quietly without punishment to depart, notwithstanding that he refused to sweare to the supremacy of the Quene, and the abrogation of the bishop of Rome.
[Back to Top]MarginaliaThe Queenes procedinges maintayned in Cambridge before the law.The third day of Nouember, the Vicechauncelour sent for the Curate of the round parish in Cambridge,
CloseThe curate of the Round Parish (1563, p. 1000; 1570, p. 1636; 1576, p. 1396; 1583, p. 1466) was the curate of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Cambridge, which is round rather than cruciform in shape.
The. vj. day of Nouember, M. Pollard preached at S. Michaels, & in his Sermon approued Purgatory.
The. xxviij. day of Nouemb. the Archdeacons Officiall visited in Hynton, where he gaue in charge to present all such as dyd disturbe the Queenes proceedings, in lettyng the Latyn seruice, the setting vp of their altars, and saying of Masse, or any part thereof: wherby it was easy to see how these good fellowes ment to proceede, hauing the law once on their side, that thus readely against a manifest law would attempt the punish-
[Back to Top]ment of any man.
The. xv. day of December, there was two proclamations at London: MarginaliaKyng Edwardes actes repealed.the one for the repealing of certaine actes made by kyng Edward, and for the setting vp of the Masse, from the. xx. day of December then next following: the other was, that no man should interrupt any of those that would say Masse.
[Back to Top]The parlament beginning about the. v. day of October, continued tyll the. v. of December. In the which parlament were dissolued as well all statutes made of Premunire in the tyme of kyng Henry. VIII. &c. as also other lawes and statutes cōcerning religion and administration of the Sacramentes decreed vnder kyng Edward the VI. as is partly aboue touched. In the which Parlament moreouer was appoynted the. xx. day of December next ensuing the same yeare. 1553. that all the olde forme and maner of church seruice, vsed in the last yeare of kyng Henry, should now agayne be restored.

MarginaliaA priest of Cant. repenting his saying Masse.About this tyme a Priest at Canterbury sayd Masse on the one day and the next day after he came into the Pulpit and desired all the people to forgiue hym, for he sayd he had betrayd Christ, but not as Iudas did, but as Peter did, and there made a long Sermon agaynst the Masse.
[Back to Top]The day after Newyeares day beyng the ij. day of Ianuary, in the yeare of our Lord. 1554. iiij. Ambassadours came into London from the Emperour, & were honorably receyued. Their names were these. Le Coūty de Egmount, Le County de Lalen Moūsieur Corire, Le Chauncellour Nigre.
About this tyme a great number of new Byshops, Deanes. &c. were chosen, more then were made at one tyme since the Conquest. Their names are these.
CloseSome egregious inaccuracies come in a list of Mary's episcopal appointments (1570, p. 1636; 1576, p. 1395; 1583, p. 1467). Maurice Griffith's name is given only as 'Mores'. David Pole, who later became Bishop of Peterborough, is listed as Bishop of St. Asaph instead of Thomas Goldwell, the true holder of the see. Thomas Rainolds, who was made Dean of Exeter, is stated to have been made Dean of Bristol (Henry Joliffe actually got this post) and John Moreman is mistakenly declared to have been made Bishop of Exeter. What is revealing here is not only that Foxe must have been repeating errors given by his source, but that if he had made even cursory inquiries, he would have readily discovered that they were errors. (It is also revealing of a larger problem in the Acts and Monuments that all of these errors concern clergy in the west, southwest and Wales, areas about which Foxe was always sketchily informed).
