About the same year and time, when Doctor Boner set forth this prescript, there came from the Queen a Proclamation against strangers, such as professed the Gospel. Upon this Proclamation, not only the strangers in King Edwards time received into the Realm for religion, among whom, Peter Martyr, John Alasco, uncle to the king of Poland: but many Englishmen fled, some into Friesland, some to Cleveland, some to high Germany; well near to the number of 800. persons.1

In the same month of March, the Lord Courtney (whom the Queen at her first entry delivered out of the Tower,) and Lady Elizabeth also, the Queens sister, were both in suspicion to have been of Wiats conspiracy:1 and for the same, this March were apprehended, and committed to the Tower. And, although Wiat at his death cleared them both, (as unacquainted with the matter) yet Gardiner practised ⟨p. 108⟩to bring them both within the compass of the same, and the Lord Shandoys joined therein with him. Not long after this, a parliament was holden at Westminster in April, where the Queen propounded concerning her marriage to king Phillip, and restoring the Popes supremacy. Her marriage was agreed upon, but the supremacy would not be obtained as then.
