This was the year of our Lord 1556. To the intent therefore to make a salve for this sore, the Inquisitors,1 of whom we spake before, came unto Cambridge the 9. day of January. And as they were yet on their journey, not far from the town, divers of the Masters & Presidents of the colleges met them, and brought them courteously, first into the town, and after to their lodging. They were entertained in Trinity college by M. John Christopherson Master of the same house,2 and lately before elected B. of Chichester. Notwithstanding they were desired, some to one place, and some to an other as occasion served, either to do their duties, or to show their good wills: Cole to the kings College, and D. Watson to S. Johns. But whether it were for the acquaintance of Christopherson, or for the largeness of the house, which seemed most convenient for their purpose, they all took up their lodgings in the said College with M. Christopherson.
