Fridewide's relics, held once in great esteem in that college, and
partly because he wished to purify Oxford of heretical remains as well
as Cambridge. In the succeeding reign, however, her remains were

Cardinal Cole published a list of fifty-four Articles, containing
instructions to the clergy of his diocess of Canterbury, some of which

_Persecutions in the Diocess of Canterbury._

In the year 1557, fifteen were imprisoned in the castle of Canterbury,
five of whom perished of hunger. We now proceed to the account of the
other ten; whose names were--J. Philpot, M. Bradbridge, N. Final, all of

of Wilton, carpenter; R. George, of Westbarhoalt, labourer; R. Debnam,
of Debenham, weaver; C. Warren, of Cocksall, spinster; Agnes Whitlock,
