From Cambridge I was called into Kent by the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, that most Reverend Father and man of God, and of him by and by sent to be Vicar of Herne in East Kent. Wherefore farewell Herne, thou worshipful and wealthy Parish, the first Cure whereunto I was called to minister Gods word. Thou hast heard of my mouth oft times the word of GOD preached, not after the popish trade, but after Christs Gospel: Oh that the fruit had answered to the seed.1 And yet I must knowledge me to be thy debtor for the doctrine of the Lords Supper, which at that time I acknowledge God had not revealed unto me: but I bless God in all that godly virtue & zeal of Gods word, which the Lord by preaching of his word did kindle manifestly both in the heart and in the life and works of that Godly woman there, my Lady Phines: the Lord grant that his word took like effect there in many other moe.
