Howbeit, one of his brethren made such suite unto the king (by the means of the Queen) that after three years imprisonment, he was both released out of prison, and also of the King obtained a Commission unto the Lord Audley, then Lord Chancellor, and to Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury, and to Cromwell then Secretary, with others, to enquire of the unjust dealings of the Bishop and his Chancellor against Patmore: but what was the end thereof, it is uncertain.
