The apology of the Church of England, and an epistle to one Seignior Scipio…

EDWARD the Sixth dying the sixth of July, ¹Anno Domini 1553. and Queen Mary succeeding him, and being proclaimed the Seventeenth of the same month, Jewel was one of the first that felt the fury of this Tempest, and before any Law was made, or so much as any order given by the Queen, was expelled out of the College by the Fellows, upon their private Authority, who had nothing to object against him, but 1. His following Peter Martyr; 2. His Preaching some Doctrines contrary to Popery; 3. And his taking Orders according to the Laws then in force: for as for his Life, it was acknowledged to be Angelical and extremely honest, ²by John Moren a Fellow of the same College; who yet at the same time could not forbear calling him Lutheran, Zuinglian, and Heretic. He took his leave of the College in these words, as near as I can render them in English.

And his taking Orders according to the Laws then in force: for as for his Life, it was acknowledged to be Angelical and extreamly honest, ²by John Moren a Fellow of the same Colledge; who yet at the same time could not forbear calling him Lutheran, Zuinglian, and Heretick. He took his leave of the Colledge in these words, as near as I can render them in English.
