page 42 note a Cardinal Pole.
page 43 note a Nicholas Udall, master of arts, (then aged 44,) was present at Gardyner's sermon before King Edward VI. at Whitehall, on St. Peter's Day 1548, and, “at the request of a noble personage of this realm, was in the pulpit, diligently noting in writing the said sermon.” He wrote the report of it which is printed in Foxe's Actes and Monuments, first edition 1563, p. 771, Cattley's edition, 1838, vi. 87: being on that occasion employed by “a noble personage of this realm,”—probably the Duke of Somerset. Subsequently he must have reconciled himself to the old faith, to have become Gardyner's “scole maister,” by which we must understand the master of the young gentlemen educated in the bishop's household. See further of Nicholas Uvedale in Wood's Athensæ Oxon (edit. Bliss,) i. 214.
page 43 note b Jacques Wingfield, gentleman, servant to the bishop of Winchester, in whose service he hath continued these twenty years,” was one of the witnesses examined in Gardyner's cause in 1551. He went to Syon with James Basset (hereafter mentioned) to solicit the Lord Protector for his master's release from the Tower. He was one of the sons of Sir Richard Wingfield, K.G. and became Master of the Ordnance in Ireland. See the Visitation of Huntingdonshire (Camden Society,) p. 131.
page 44 note a Robert Massie had been servant to the bishop for seventeen years, and was of 40 years of age when examined in the Bishop's cause in 1551. “He hath vjli. vjs. viijd. wages and iiijli. fee and living.” (Foxe, Actes and Monumentes, first edition, 1563, and Cattley's edition, 1838.)
page 44 note b Nicholas Lentall had in 1551 been servant to the Bishop of Winchester for twenty years or thereabout. “He hath five pounds wages, and meat, drink, and livery; and ten pounds annuity out of the bishop's manor of Downton.”
page 44 note c Thomas Skerne had in 1551 been the bishop's servant for eighteen or nineteen years; of the age of 40. “He hath four pounds wages, and livery, meat, and drink; and he hath a patent of the office of the collector and clerk of the bailiwick of Winton and Oxfordshire, and profits belonging to the same.”
page 44 note d William Coppinger, servant to Stephen Bishop of Winchester, with whom he had been in service these seven years and more (1551), and before that at his exhibition since the time he was of the age of ten years. He went to the Tower of London to wait on his master during his imprisonment on the illness of Thomas Crowte hereafter mentioned. “He is the bishop's servant, having four pounds wages, meat and drink, and livery; and Iiijs. yearly in reward; and ten pounds fee which he had at Michaelmas last, by the death of William Gardyner the bishop's brother; and the reversion of the bailiwick of Wargrave.”
page 44 note e Jermyn is mentioned in the evidence of Philip Paris, esquire (in 1551), as having offended the bishop when attendant upon him at Paris, in 1537, by going to see Cardinal Pole: “howbeit the said cardinal came not, and therefore the bishop was soon pacified: but if he had seen him, this deponent thinketh verily that he would have put him out of his service.”
page 44 note f Henry Burton, one of the Bishop of Winchester's servants, with whom he had dwelt almost eight years, of the age of 25 or 26 (in 1551). He was one of the bishop's household that had been appointed to serve in the campaign in Scotland 1549; “and forasmuch as this deponent had his horse slain in the field of battle, he obtained leave of the Lord FitzWalter, being his captaine, to come home a fortnight after the battle.” He “hath four pounds wages by year, and livery; and ten pounds fee for the bailiwick of Exton by patent.”
page 45 note a Richard Hampden, servant to the Bishop of Winchester, with whom he hath continued these sixteen years; of the age of 40, or thereabout (in 1551).
page 45 note b This gentleman's baptismal name was Bassingbourne, as appears by his signature as a witness to the codicil. He was of a distinguished family in Norfolk; in which the name of Bassingbourne was continued for several generations. A baronetcy conferred on Sir William Grawdy of West Harling in 1663, became extinct with his grandson, the last Sir Bassingbourne, in 1723.
page 45 note c Philip Paris, esquire, of Linton, in the county of Cambridge, of the age of 59, or thereabout (in 1551). “From the time that the said Bishop of Winchester was made bishop until these ten years past he was servant to the said bishop.” He was with the bishop at Paris in his embassy in 1537. “This deponent's son had certain leases of the Bishop of Winchester, wherein this deponent is jointly joined with him.” He was knighted at the coronation of Queen Mary, and died in March 1557–8: see Machyn's Diary, pp. 168, 335.
page 45 note d John Clyffe, of the age of 33 years (1551). “He hath been the Bishop's servant these seventeen years or more, and is at this present; having Iiijs. iiijd. wages, and livery, and xls. annuity out of the bailiwick of the Clink.”
page 45 note e Thomas Crowte, servant to the Bishop of Winchester, with whom he hath dwelt nine years come Shrovetide next (1551); of the age of 41 or thereabout: “having liiis. iiijd. yearly wages and livery; and hath given him by the said bishop the reversion of a lease of a mill, wherein yet are about eighteen years to come.” He and John Davy (next mentioned) accompanied the bishop (as yeomen of his chamber) to his prison in the Tower of London, where Crowte fell sick about six or seven weeks after his coming, and was replaced by William Coppinger.
page 46 note a John Davy, of the age of 35 years, had been continually in attendance on the bishop in the Tower of London for one year within six days at the time of his examination in 1551. He “hath liij s. iiij d. wages, meat, drink, and livery; and he hath had certain advantages, as the reversion of Tracy, which he hath sold.”
page 46 note b Thomas Thirlby.
page 46 note c John White, translated to Winchester 1556.
page 46 note d Sir Robert Rochester, K.G.
page 46 note e Master of the court of wards and liveries, and a privy councillor: see note in Narratives of the Reformation, p. 95.
page 46 note f James Basset, gentleman, servant to the Bishop of Winchester, with whom he hath continued twelve years, of the age of 24 years or thereabouts (1551). He accompanied Jacques Wingfield to solicit the Duke of Somerset for his master's release. “He hath four pounds wages, and livery; fourteen pounds annuities, videlicet, four pounds out of the manor of Taunton, and ten pounds out of the lordship of Eastmere.”
page 46 note g Probably Thomas Harding, the opponent of Bishop Jewell. After having been chaplain to the Protestant Duke of Suffolk (the father of Lady Jane Grey) he became a prebendary of Winchester, and treasurer of Salisbury in the reign of Mary; and died an exile at Louvaine in 1572. See Wood's Athenæ Oxon. (edit. Bliss,) i. 402.
page 47 note a John Temple, gentleman, was examined in the bishop's cause in 1551, and describes his attendance upon him to the Duke of Somerset's, when Gardyner was commanded to keep his own house at St. Mary Overies; and then said to him, “Temple, you must go hence; for I must not speak with you. “But his first examination, which contained such particulars as are quoted in the previous notes, is wanting.
