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.

JANUARY 25th. Intelligence was received at London, of the insurrection in Kent; and of the duke of Suffolk having fled into Warwickshire: and Leicestershire, with a view of raising forces in those countries. The queen, therefore, caused them both, with the Carews of Devonshire, to be proclaimed traitors; and at the same time sent Thomas, duke of Norfolk, into Kent, who being, near Rochester bridge, forsaken of those who went with him, returned to London, no blood having been shed on either side.
