This king restored the holy Scriptures in the mother tongue, masses he abolished,1 and such as were banished were received home: he changed the most part of Bishops of diocese and Churches: and compelled the dumb dogs to give place to those that would preach. Besides, other also out of foreign countries were sent for, & entertained:2 as Peter Martyr, who taught at Oxford: Martin Bucer, & Paulus Phagius at Cambridge. The old Bishops who were obstinate were committed toward: Boner to the Marshalsea, Gardiner & Tonstal to the tower, where they remained three years together. In this kings time, all persecution ceased, and ⟨p. 84⟩the professors of the Gospel were in all places relieved: Only one Thomas Dobbe, 3a student, & master of arts of Cambridge of S. Johns College, in the beginning of this kings reign was cast in prison, for speaking against the mass: & died in the Counter in London, being thither committed by the Archbishop of Canterbury: whose pardon notwithstanding was obtained by the Lord protector, and should have been brought him, if he had continued.
