This was done the next day following, by the aforesaid B. of Chester, with as much ceremonial solemnity as the law required. But that impanate God, whom Bucers carcass had chased from thence, was not yet returned thither again: neither was it lawful for him to come there any more, but if he were brought thither with great solemnity. As I suppose, during all the time of his absence,1 he was entertained by the Commissioners at Trinity College, and there continued as a Sojourner. For thither came all the Graduates of the University, the 8. of February, of gentleness and courtesy, to bring him home again. Amongst the which number, the Bish. of Chester (worthy for his estate to come nearest to him, because he was a B.) took and carried him clad in a long Rochet, and a large Tippet of Sarcenet about his neck, wherein he wrapped his Idol also. Ormanet Datary had given the same a little before to the University, for that and such like purposes.
