He founded a certain new College in Oxford; for furniture whereof he gathered together all the best learned he could hear of; amongst whom were Clerk, Tyndale, Frith, and Taverner, who after were found to be heretics (as they call them) and were cast into a prison of the College where salt fish lay, through the stink whereof they being infected, the said Clerk, being singular in learning, died.

One Simon Grineus hearing a Sermon of Faber Bishop of Vienna,¹ after the Sermon he followed Faber, and declared unto him that of good zeal he had somewhat to say to him, and said, he was very sorry that a man of such learning should confirm such ••n•••elious errors, which might be refuted by manifest Scripture. Polycarpus used to stop his ears when he heard any monstrous errors, how then do you think he would have heard you reason what the Mouse did eat when she gnaweth the consecrated Host? who would not bewail the blindness and ignorance of the Church? Then Faber asked his name: he told him his name was Grineus; and he feigned he was sent for by the King, and had no leisure now to reason upon this matter, and showed that he was desirous of his acquaintance, and entreated him, both for his own matter and the Common-wealth, he would come the next day unto him. He willingly promised him. When he was returned to supper, a stranger, an old man of great gravity told him, the Sergeants would by and by come unto the lodging, sent by he King, to carry Grineus to prison, whom Faber had accused unto the King, exhorting Grineus straight way to depart the Town without delay, and so departed. Th•n we took Grineus and carried him unto the River Rhine, and conveyed him over in a Boat, and returned. In the mean time the Sergeants were at the lodging, wherefore we judged that this cruel purpose was frustrate by Gods provision; therefore let us give thanks to God, which giveth his Angels to be our keepers, and with quiet minds fulfil the office of our vocation.
