Biographical Note
Of Lincolnshire. BA Queens' College, Cambridge 1547, fellow of Pembroke College 1547, MA 1549. He fled to the continent in 1556, and matriculated at the University of Basle early in 1559, though he seems then to have returned to Cambridge and his fellowship at Pembroke, shortly before his death.
