AFTER Mr. Latimer had thus laboured in preaching and teaching in the university of Cambridge about the space of three years, at length he was called up to the cardinal for heresy, by the procurement of some of the said university, where he was content to subscribe and grant to such articles as then they propounded to him, &c.
AFTER that he returned to the university again, where shortly after, by the means of Dr. Buts, the king's physician, a singular good man, and a special favourer of good proceedings, he was in the number of them which laboured in the cause of the king's supremacy. Then went he to the court, where he remained a certain time in the said Dr. But's chamber, preaching then in London very often. At last being weary of the court, having a benefice offered b• the king, at the suit of the lord Cromwell and Dr. Buts, was glad thereof, seeking by that means to be rid of the court, wherewith in no case he could agree; and so having a grant of the benefice, contrary to the mind of Dr. Buts, he would needs depart, and be resident at the same.
