Summary
And if a servante be founde negligent, then to be hadd to prison, and there remaine at ye pleasure of the Maior, and the like aucthoritie is given to everye one that bearethe or hath borne eny office in the towne.”
This year, Giles Fletcher, Robert Liles, Robert Johnson, Stephen Lakes, and Robert Dunning, fellows of King's College, preferred articles of complaint to Lord Burghley, against Dr. Roger Goad the Provost. These he answered satisfactorily, and his accusers were compelled to acknowledge that their charges were false and slanderous. Dunning and Lakes were committed by Lord Burghley to the Gatehouse prison, Westminster. It is said that Lakes “had been provoked by the provost, having reproved him for his habit unbecoming a scholar. For he wore under his gown, a cut taffeta doublet of the fashion with his sleeves out, and a great pair of galligastion hose. For this disguised apparel, so unmeet for a scholar, the provost punished him a week's commons. This had ever after stuck in his stomach, and he had sundry expostulations afterwards with the provost about it: such was his stout nature and impenitency to be reproved.”
