Thomas Chafyn the younger is mentioned; and in 1565 Thomas Chafyn was one of the gentry of Salisbury with goods valued at 180l., being the second person in the town in point of wealth. History of Salisbury (Hoare's South Wiltshire), pp. 274, 696, 812.

^{page 73 note c} “Also this same time (Jan. 1547–8) was moche spekyng agayne the sacrament of the auter, that some callyd it Jaehe of the Boxe, with divers other shamfulle names; and there was made a proclamacyon agayne shoohe (such) sayers, and it (yet) bothethe prechersand others spake agayne it, and so contynewyd.” (Chronicle of the Grey Friars of London, p. 55.) An original copy of this proclamation is preserved in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries. It is dated the 27th Dec. 1547, and was made in pursuance of “a good and godly acte and estatute (made in the recent session of parlement) against those who doeth contempne, despise, or with unsemely and ungodly woordes deprave and revyle the holy sacramente of the body and blood of our Lorde, commonly called tfie sacrament of the Aultar.” The statute is 1 Edw. VI. cap. 1. Statutes of the Realm, 1819, iv. 2.

Bishop Coverdale, in the preface to his translation of Calvin's Treatise on the Last Supper, has this passage : “I will speak no more as concerning their fond inventions about the ministration of this most blessed sacrament, lest I should be thereby an offence or stumbling-block to the weak brothers, whose consciences are not yet fully satisfied as concerning the true belief of this holy mystery : I mean, lest I should give them occasion to do as certain fond talkers have of late days done, and at this present day do invent and apply to this most holy sacrament names of despite and reproach, as to call it Jack in the box and Bound Room, and such other not only fond but blasphemous names.” (Coverdale's Works, Parker Soc. p. 426.) In the last examination of bishop Ridley, before the queen's commissioners, Sept. 30, 1555, referring to a sermon which he had delivered at Paul's cross, (the precise date of which does not appear,) he said, “You shall understande there were at Paules, and divers other places, fixed railing billes against the sacrament, terming it Jache of the Boxe, the Sacrament of the Halter, Mound Robin, with like unscmely termes; for the whiohe causes I, to rebuke the unreverend behaviour of certaine evil-disposed persones, preached as reverently of that matter as I might.” (Foxe, edit. 1576, p. 1650.)

^{page 74 note a} Foxe, under the year 1558, gives at considerable length “The story and condemnation of John Hunt and Richard White, ready to be burnt, but by the death of Q. Mary escaped the fire.” In a side-note Foxe remarks, “Rich. White, now vicar of Malbrough in Wilshire:”—See an additional note in the Appendix.

^{page 74 note b} William Geffrey, or Jeffrey, D.C.L. 1540, sometime principal of St. Edward's hall and afterwards of Bradgate hall, Oxford, archdeacon of Northampton 1549, chancellor of Salisbury 1552–3; died 1558. “Not long before the death of queen Mary dyed doctor Capon, bishop of Salisbury. About the which tyme also followed the unprepared death of doctour Geffrey, chancellour of Salisbury, who in the midst of his buildings, sodainly being taken by the mighty hand of God, yelded his lyfe, which hadde so little pittye of other men's lyves before. Concerning whose crueltye partly mention is made before [in the case of Hunt and White]. As touching moreover this foresayde chancellour, here it is to be noted, that he departing upon a Saterday, the next day before the same he hadde appoynted to call before him 90 persons, and not so fewe, to examine them by inquisition, had not the goodnes of the Lord, and his tender providence, thus prevented him with death, providing for his poore servauntes in tyme.”-—Foxe,” God's punishment upon Persecutors.”

^{page 74 note c} John Capon, alias Salcot, who having been successively abbat of St. Benet Hulme, and of Hyde by Winchester, was made bishop of Bangor 1533, and of Salisbury 1539. He died 1557. See his memoirs in Athenae Cantabrigienses, i. 171.

^{page 74 note d} The lord chief justice of the common pleas was sir Richard (not sir Michael) Lyster. See in the Winchester volume of the Archaologieal Institute, 1846, a memoir by Sir Frederick Madden on sir Richard Lyster's monument and effigy in St. Michael's church, Southampton, which had been attributed to lord chancellor Wriothesley. Sir Richard's son and heir was sir Michael Lyster; he died in August 1561, before his father, See Maohyn's Diary, p. 8, where, by a like confusion as here, the son is called sir Richard. In addition to Sir F. Madden's pedigree it may be remarked that the first wife of the lord chief justice was Jane, daughter of Ralph Sherley of Wiston, in Sussex, and widow of sir John Dawtrey, of Moorhouse in Petworth. (Stemmata Shirleiana, 4to. 1841, p. 145.) Also that the wife of his grandson, the daughter of lord chancellor Wriothesley, was married first to William Shelley of Miehelgrove : see Machyn's Diary, p. 273.

^{page 78 note a} The name of Thomas Whyte occurs in the list of mayors of Poole in 1504, 1510,1511, 1517, 1531, 1538, in 1545 Thomas Whyte senior, and in 1551 Thomas Whyte junior. The family were afterwards seated at Fittleford, in the parish of Stourminster Newton : see a pedigree in Hutehins's Dorsetshire (second edit.) iv. 183.

^{page 78 note b} John Northerell was mayor of Poole in 1540, 1547, and 1552.

^{page 78 note c} William Havyland was mayor of Poole in 1523, 1533, and 1544i Others of the family occur from 1494 to 1537.

^{page 80 note a} “Item, you declared and published untruly as well to the King's majestie, and other the young lords attendant upon his majesties person, and to the King's subjects at divers and sundry times and places, that the said lords at London minded to destroy the King ; and you required the King never to forget it, but to revenge it, and likewise required the said young lords to put the King in remembrance therof ; to the intent to make sedition and discord betweene the King's majesty and his lords.” This is the 26th article charged upon the duke of Somerset, as printed in Stowe's Chronicle. The protector had, in his distress and embarrassment, no doubt indiscreetly made some such appeal, in order to obtain support, as on the King's behalf.

^{page 80 note b} Sir John Williams was master of the jewel-house and treasurer of the court of augmentations in the reign of Edward VI. Having taken an active part in the establishment of the authority of queen Mary, he was destined to higher honours. He became chamberlain to king Philip, and was created lord Williams of Thame in 1554. Having been appointed lord president of Wales, he died in that office in 1559. See Machyn's Diary, Index.

^{page 81 note a} The 25th of July. From the letters printed in the Chronicle of Queen Jane and Queen Mary, pp. 9–12, it might be supposed that the proclamation took place at Oxford on an earlier day.

^{page 81 note c} Named “sir Brysse Tayller “in the list of rectors or curates of Poole in Hutchins's Dorsetshire (second edit.) ii. 21. He was settled in the town at least eight years before, as in an inventory of church jewels and ornaments made Nov. 30, 1545, “in presens of Thomas Whyt the eldyr then beyng mayr, Richard Havyland, Wylyam Havyland, and Thomas Gylleford then beyng one of the churche wardens,” occurs “i chalcs parsell gyllt that sir Tailar syrvyth withall.” (History of Poole, by John Sydenham, 1839, 8vo. p. 310.) Poole was in the parish of Canford. Leland says : “ Pole is no town of auncient occupying in marchandise, but rather of old tyme a poore fisshar village, and a hamelet or membre to the paroche church. It is in hominum memoria much encreasid with fair buildings and use of marchaundise.” But he afterwards adds, “There is a fair chirche in Pole.”

^{page 82 note a} Another instance of this name being given to the sweating-sickness has been mentioned in the notes to Maehyn's Diary. It is in the register of Uffculme, co. Devon, “the hote sickness, or stup-gallant.” In tfae register of Loughborough in Leicestershire it is termed “the swat called New acquaintance, alias Stoup knave and know thy Master.”

^{page 84 note b} In the Livre des Anglois, preserved in the archives of the city of Geneva, among those received into the church in Nov. 1556, or shortly after, occur the names of “Thomas Hancock, his wife, and Gedion his sonne.” On the 7th of April in the following year occurs the baptism “Sarah, the daughter of Thomas Hancock, Anthony Gilby being the godfather.”—which Anthony Gilby was afterwards vicar of Ashby-dela-Zouche.
