Scot of Chester prayed with many words, that that day might be lucky and fortunate to himself, and to all that were present, and that from that day forward (now that Gods wrath was appeased, and all other things set in good order) all men would make themselves conformable to peace & quietness, namely, in matters appertaining ⟨p. 1964⟩to Religion. After this they bestowed a few days in punishing and amercing such as they thought had deserved it. Some they suspended from giving voices either to their own preferment, or to the preferment of any other. Some they forbade to have the charge of pupils,1 least they should infect the tender youth (being pliable to take what print soever should be laid upon them) with corrupt doctrine and heresy, others they chastised wrongfully without any desert, and many a one they punished, contrary to all right and reason.
