ON the 13th of January, 1554, Dr. Crome was committed to the Fleet, for preaching without licence, on Christmas-day; and on the 21st, Thomas Wooton, Esq. was committed close prisoner to the Fleet, for matters of religion.
EARLY in this month the marriage of the queen was made public; but the news of this event was ill received both by the common people, and several of the nobility; and on this account, as also for religion, conspiring among themselves, raised a rebellion, whereof sir Thomas Wyatt was one of the chief promoters, who said in Kent, (what others plainly perceived) that the queen and council would, by her marriage with a foreigner, bring upon this realm most miserable servitude, and establish the popish religion.
