In the year 1566, when Queen Elizabeth visited the university, he, together with Mr. William Rainolds, received her majesty and her train at New College ; on that occasion he de- livered an oration,, for which he received great applause and a handsome purse of gold.# He afterwards took his degrees, and, in 1570, became rector of Odcomb,- in Somersetshire, where he continued to the end of his days. In 1594, he was preferred to the prebend of Warthel, in the cathedral of York. He was a person much admired for his refined taste in Latin poetry, and his excellent pro- ductions are often quoted by the learned men of those times. He died at Odcomb, March 6, 1606, and his remains were interred in the chancel of his own church.
