Of Michael Rimneger, or Ryneger, there are occasional notices in Strype's works. There is a letter from Ryneger to Bullinger in the Parker Society's Reformation Letters, p. 374; he is also mentioned at vol. viii. p. 404,

Page 742, line 22. "Loute whom you list with change."]-To "lout" is to disappoint, befool (see vol. v., p. 406, note), and has been restored to the present Edition of Foxe from that of 1563, p. 1465; a reading which subsequent impressions have corrupted into "love.'

Page 744, line 2. "And Berard the Frenchman."-The Letters of the Martyrs' (p. 559, Edit. 1564) have "and Gerard," which is probably the better reading.

Page 24, line 14 from the bottom.]-The following is from Ed. 1563, p. 1099:

Articles conceyved and ministred by the Byshop of S. Davids, against Maister Ferrar.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, non licere ulli religioso expresse professo, nec ulli presbitero post sacros ordines susceptos, uxorem ducere, nec cum illa tanquam cum uxore cohabitare.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, in Eucharistia sive altaris sacramento verum et naturale Christi corpus, ac verum et naturalem Christi sanguinem, vere realiter ac substancialiter esse sub specie panis et vini, omnipotentia verbi post consecrationem a legitimo sacerdote legitime prolatam, non tantum quoad fidem communicantium ut Zuingliani perniciosissime docent, sed vere et reipsa, etiamsi a Turcis et Paganis reciperetur sacramentum post verba consecrationis legitime a ministero [sic] prolatæ, ac substantiam panis et vini in Eucharistia non manere sed esse mutatam in substantiam præciosi corporis et sanguinis Christi.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, missam esse sacrificium novi testamenti propitiatorium tam pro vivis quam pro defunctis, non, ut Œcolampadiani somniant, esse impium cultum aut blasphemum.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, concilia generalia legitime congregata in dissolvendis religionis catholicæ controversiis nunquam errasse, nec errare posse.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, non sola fide justificari homines coram deo, sed, ut vere justi sint coram deo, opus esse spe et charitate.

Firmiter credo et teneo, ac profitebor, ecclesiam catholicam, quæ sola habet autoritatem agnoscendi et interpretandi scripturas, componendique religionis controversias, ac statuendi quæ ad publicam disciplinam pertineant, esse visibilem, et civitatem supra montem positam, omnibus notam atque manifestam, non absconditam, obscuram, latitantem atque incognitam, ut hæretici nostræ ætatis docent et affirmant.

Page 44, bottom. "Low Sunday"-in A. D. 1554, fell on April 1st. Page 48, line 9. "Within few days after."]-i.e. after his interview with Bishop Cotes at Lancaster. Foxe states, at vol. vi. 565, that Marsh was "threequarters of a year" in Lancaster Castle "before he was removed to Chester." See also Marsh's two letters, dated June 28th and August 30th.

Page 52, line 11 from the bottom.]—It is singular, that the Latin account (Basil 1559, p. 432) says at the beginning of the account "die Aprilis 24," and at the end "Mense Martio."

Page 98, middle. "But what paradise."]-The edition of 1583 here reads "paradise," but all the other old editions read "place." "Paradise" is retained because it is the reading of the Latin. (Basil 1559, p. 445.)

Page 100, line 11 from the bottom. "The principal is."]-The first edition reads "principle;" the Latin (p. 449) says: atque reipsa eandem habes formulam. Summa quidem est et caput rei, In nomine, &c. ... Porro quod præcipuum est in hoc sacramento desideramus, te nihilo magis notans quam ceteros tui ordinis."

"A point for your fagot."—" Flocci facio fasces ac fa☛ (Latin, p. 450.)

"Upon the 13th day."]-Machyn, in his Diary, pubSociety in 1848, p. 90, says "the xiiii," which may be more correct, as a day would in all likelihood precede its actual publication. Page 143, line 33. "He departed from the Temple in London."]-The following trace of Bradford's residence in the Temple is from the MS. Admission Book, Inner Temple, London: "Anno primo Edwardi VI."-" Johannes Bradford de Exton in comitatu Rotelandiæ, octavo die Aprilis; plegii, Richard Chamber, Thomas Sampson."

Page 143, line 34. "Went unto the university of Cambridge."]-Under date of May 12th, A.D. 1548, he writes to Traves, that he intended leaving London for Cambridge" afore Midsummer" (p. 281 of this volume): and soon after he wrote to Traves, "This present day, by God's grace, I take my journey towards Cambridge;" "I will lie, God willing, this summer, at Katharine's Hall" (p 282) and a subsequent letter is dated, "This Assumption Day [August 15th] in Katharine's Hall, in Cambridge " (p. 283).

Page 143, line 38. "The University did give him the degree of a master of arts."]-This was Oct, 19th, A. D. 1549, as appears by the following extract from the MS. Grace Book of the University of Cambridge, fol. 24, in the Registrar's office.

"Item conceditur Johanni Bradforde, viro constantis jam ætatis et probata admissus vitæ, ut studium octo annorum in literis humanioribus, artibus, et sacrarum 114 literarum diligenti lectione, in quibus plurimum profecit, sufficiat ei pro com[1549], et numera- pletis gradu et forma magisterii in artibus; et ut hodie, si fieri potest, alioquin tur inter ad placitum, admittatur sine ulla magistrorum visitatione. Nam diutius hune superi- gradum sine magno suo dispendio expectare non potest, ut qui illi hoc tempore oris anni. ampliorem vitæ conditionem adferre potest, quam sine eo assequi non potest. Ita ut ejus eruditio prius examinetur et approbetur per magistros Pylkington seniorem et Carre; et teneatur præterea proximis comitiis combinare cum cæteris ejus anni."

The ampliorem vitæ conditionem" here alluded to was a promised fellowship at Pembroke, which he could only hold as an M.A. See Bradford's letter to Traves, dated October 22nd, p. 284 of this volume.

Page 143, line 40. "Immediately after, the master and fellows of Pembroke Hall did give him a fellowship in their college with him."]—See Bradford's letter to Traves, p. 284; which says, I am now a fellow of Pembroke Hall:" it speaks of a debt to be repaid him "by Candlemas " [Feb. 2nd, 1550].

Page 143, bottom.]-Bradford's ordination at Fulham as deacon, Sunday, August 10th, A.D. 1550, is thus recorded in the Ridley Register, folio 319

verso:

Page 144, line 5. "He obtained for him a license to preach."]-In the diary of King Edward, Dec. 18th, A.D. 1551 (see Burnet's Reformation), we read:"It was appointed I should have six chaplains ordinary, of which two ever to be present, and four always absent in preaching: one year, two in Wales, two in Lancashire and Derby; next year, two in the marches of Scotland, two in Yorkshire; the third year, two in Devonshire, two in Hampshire; fourth year, two in Norfolk and Essex, and two in Kent and Sussex, &c.: these six to be Bill, Harley, Perne, Grindal, Bradford, and Knox.”

Page 144, line 6.]-Bradford's institution to the prebend of Kentishtown, in St. Paul's, is thus recorded in the Ridley Register, folio 312 verso:

&c.

"Vicesimo quarto die mensis Augusti idem Reverendus pater Dominus Prebenda Nicholaus Londinensis Episcopus canonicatum et prebendam in ecclesia cathe-esit drali Divi Pauli London. dictam Cantlers alias Kentyshetowne, per mortem Kentyshnaturalem Willielmi Layton, clerici, ultimi canonici et prebendarií eorundem, towne. vacantes, et ad collationem ejusdem reverendi patris pleno jure spectantes, dilecto sibi magistro Johanni Bradford, artium magistro, contulit caritatis intuitu; eumque canonicum et prebendarium dictorum canonicatus et prebendæ, de expressè renunciando pretensæ et usurpatæ jurisdictioni auctoritati et potestati episcopi Romani, ac supremitatem serenissimæ regiæ majestatis juxta leges, &c. fideliter agnoscendo, necnon de fideliter observando statuta ordinationes provisiones ac laudabiles dictæ ecclesiæ cathedralis consuetudines, quatenus eum ratione ipsorum canonicatus et prebendæ tangunt et concernunt, ac quatenus legibus et statutis ac provisionibus hujus regni Angliæ non adversantur, &c. primitus juratum, rite et legitime instituit et investivit, &c. Et recepta ejus obedientia legitima scriptum fuit decano et capitulo dictæ ecclesiæ cathedralis ac eorum vicesgerentibus, &c. pro ejus inductione et installatione suis."

Page 145, line 19. "Committed first to the Tower, then unto other prisons."]— To the Tower, August 16th, 1553 (p. 230); to the Marshalsea, Feb. 6th, 1554 (viii. 593); to the King's Bench, on Easter Eve, March 24th, 1554 (p. 146, viii. 593); to the Counter, January 30, 1555 (p. 165); to Newgate, June 29th; burnt July 1st.

Page 147, line 15. "The keeper's wife."]-Bradford's keeper in the Counter was Claydon: pp. 183, 190.

Page 147, line 15 from the bottom. "Walter Marlar's wife.”]—See a letter to May Marlar, Bradford's Works P.S.E. ii. 181, dated Feb. 22nd, 1555; and a probable allusion to her, ibid. 215.

Page 157, line 19. "The lord chancellor was appalled."]-The Latin Foxe (p. 475) says: "his verbis perculsus fractusque non mediocriter, modestiùs ad hæc respondit." In the separate edition of these Examinations by Griffith, 1561 (P.S.E. p. 481), the reading here is "appeased;" but we ought probably to read "apaused," i. e. checkt. See Philpot's Examinations, p. 647 of this volume, where the Latin (p. 593) is "Paulo mitior factus."

Page 157, line 10 from the bottom. "In the mean time."]-In Griffith's edition, 1561, this "talk" with Hussey and Seton is placed first in order of the 'prison-conferences.'

Page 157, line 3 from the bottom.]—Griffith's edition says "for old acquaintance sake: for I [Bradford] was at Muttrell journey a paymaster, in which he was, and had often received money at my hands." The siege of Montreuil, in Picardy, was conducted by the Duke of Norfolk, at the same time with that of Boulogne, A.D. 1544.

Page 158, line 9 from the bottom. "But John Bradford kept still one answer. r.”]—In Griffith's edition, “But still I kept me to my cuckoo."

Page 162, line 6. "And did deceive his master of seven-score pounds."]— Some writers represent this matter as if Sir John Harington had been the real sinner, and Bradford only guilty of connivance. But the Rev. E. C. Haring

ton, collateral descendant of the knight, writing to the "Notes and Queries"
(New Series, vol. i. p. 125), places the subject in a very different light. From
the statements of Strype, and even of Sampson, Bradford's intimate friend, be
contends that Bradford was guilty of defrauding the king's exchequer, in his
master's name but without his knowledge; and that when Bradford, under the
stings of conscience, confessed his crime to his master, the knight, on the fraud
being proved to him from the books, generously undertook to satisfy the king,
and accepted Bradford's security for repayment to himself. Archdeacon
Hone, however, in his "Life of Bradford," thinks that the fraud was com
mitted for his master's advantage, not his own. The knight himself, however,
seems to have been quite innocent in the matter.

Page 165, line 20.]-The process and sentence on Bradford, in Latin, are
preserved in Harleian MS. 421. fol. 40, 42—4. The MS. seems to be a tran-
script from the original register. It is printed, but somewhat incorrectly
dated, in the Parker Soc. Bradford, vol. i. p. 585. It thence appears, that
Bradford was first brought up for examination" die Martis xxix. die Januarii,
155, and remanded "ad comparendum crastina die inter horas viii. et x
ante meridiem." Accordingly, die Mercurii tricesimo sc. die, Januarii,” he
appeared; when the bishop, finding him immovable, “tulit contra eum con-
demnationis sententiam definitivam;" which then follows, dated "die Mer-
curii, tricesimo die Januarii, Anno Domini juxta cursum ecclesiæ Anglorum,
1554." See Document No. X. at the end of this volume.

It may be added, that the same Harleian MS. contains the processes against
John Hooper, John Cardmaker, John Rogers alias Matthewe, Rowland Taylor,
Edward Crome, and Laurence Saunders.

Page 174, line 10.]-After the words "they departed," the "Examina-
tions" of 1561 add some talk of Bradford with Claydon and others the same
day after dinner, occupying three pages in the Parker Soc. Edition, i. 515—

518.

Page 190, line 26. "To be at a point."]-This phrase, meaning "to have
made up one's mind," is common in Foxe: we have it at p. 534; also vol. iii.
p. 327; viii. 18, 587, 691.

Page 190, note (1).]—See p. 256 of this volume.

Page 196. "The Letters of Bradford."]-Bradford's Letters have been
collected from different sources, to the number of CI., by the Rev. Aubrey
Townsend, editor of Bradford's Works for the Parker Society, to which the
reader is referred for much valuable information. He discovered the auto-
graphs of many of them among the Emmanuel Coll. MSS. at Cambridge. The
letters printed by Foxe correspond with those in Mr. Townsend's Collection as
