1Cardinal Poole, three years after his return into England, having somewhat withdrawn his mind from other affairs of the realm,2 and having in all points established the Romish religion, began to have an eye to the university of Cambridge, which place among other, specially seemed to have need of reformation out of hand. To perform this charge,3 were chosen Cuthbert Scot, not long before consecrated Bishop of Chester, Nicholas Ormanet an Italian, Archpriest of the people of Bodolon, in the diocese of Ueron, professed in both the laws, and bearing the name of the popes Datary, Tho. Watson, elected Bish. of Lincoln, John Chrystopherson, elected bish. of Chichester, and Henry Cole Provost of the college of Eaton. There was good cause why the matter was especially committed to these persons. For as touching Ormanet, it is well known that he was a man of much estimation with Julius the 3. at that time B. of Rome, and was appointed to come into England with Cardinal Poole, because without his knowledge (as in whom he put his chief trust and confidence) the B. would have nothing done that was of any importance or weight.
