Moreouer, Iohn Lucke, a doctor of diuinitie in Oxenford, a sore enimie
to the Wickleuists; Richard Caister borne in Norfolke, vicar of saint
Stephans in Norwich, a man of great holinesse and puritie in life,
fauouring (though secretlie) the doctrine of the Wickleuists, and
reproouing in his sermons, the vnchast manners and filthie example that
appeared in the cleargie. Of sir Iohn Oldcastell lord Cobham ye haue
heard before; William Walleis a blacke frier in Lin, and prouinciall
of his order here in England, made a booke of moralizations vpon Ouids
Metamorphôseis, comparable to postils vpon Aesops Fables; Richard
Snetisham, a student in Oxenford, where he profited so greatlie in
learning and wisedome, that he was accounted the chéefest in all
that vniuersitie, in respect whereof he was made chancellor of the
same, chosen also to be one of the twelue to examine and iudge vpon
Wickliffes doctrine by the archbishop of Canturburie; Iohn Langdene
a monke of Christes church in Canturburie, an other of those twelue;
William Tailor a priest, and a master of art in Oxenford, a stedfast
follower of Wickliffes doctrine, & burnt for the same in Smithfield at
London, the second day of March, in the yeare of our Lord 1422, & last
of king Henrie the fift his reigne.
Furthermore, Richard Grasdale student in Oxenford, one of those twelue
also; William Lindwood a lawier excellentlie learned, as well in the
ciuill as canon lawes, aduanced to the seruice of this king, and made
by him kéeper of the priuie seale, sent in ambassage both to the kings
of Spaine and Portingale, about businesse of most weightie importance.
It is said that he was promoted to the bishoprike of saint Dauid;
Bartholomew Florarius, supposed (as Bale saith) by Nicholas Brigham, to
be an Englishman, wrote a treatise called Florarium, whereof he tooke
his surname; and also an other treatise of abstinence, in which he
reprooueth certeine corrupt manners in the cleargie, and the profession
of friers mendicants; Adam Hemmelington, a Carmelite frier, studied
both in Oxenford and Paris; William Batecombe is placed by Bale about
the time of other learned men that liued in this kings time, he was an
excellent mathematician, as by the title of his works which he wrote it
should appeare.
