Wegen priest at S. Mary hill. 1529. | His Articles: That he was not bound to say his Matins nor other service, but to sing with the Queer till they came to Prime, and then saying no more service, thought he might well go to Mass.

Item, that if a man keep a good tongue in his head, he tasteth well. Item, for commending Luther to be a good man for preaching twice a day. &c. For saying that the Mass was but a Ceremony, and made to the intent that men should pray only.
