SEPTEMBER, 1553. On the 1st of this month, the two bishops, Hooper and Coverdale, appeared again before the council, when the former was committed to the Fleet, and the latter ordered to attend the lords' pleasure.
ON the 2d, the Rev. Mr. Hugh Symonds attended at the council board, on account of a sermon he had preached, and was ordered to appear again the Monday following.
ON the 4th, a citation from the council was directed to Hugh Latimer, archbishop of Canterbury, commanding his appearance before them. And about the 5th, Peter Martyr came to London from Oxford, where, for a time, he had been commanded to keep his house▪ and found there the archbishop of Canterbury, who offered to defend the Book of Common Prayer, both by the scriptures and the fathers, assisted by Peter Martyr and others. But while they were in hopes of this event, the archbishop and others were imprisoned, and Peter Martyr permitted to return whence he came. The same day a letter was sent to the mayor of Coventry, with orders to set Hugh Symonds at liberty, if he would recant his sermon, otherwise to detain him, and give notice thereof to the council.
