Bishop Fox was of the mind and determination to haue made the college for religious men.Bishop Ol|dom of Exce|ster is vtterlie against Foxs mind to found a college for moonks. But bi|shop Oldom (whether it was bicause he fauoured not those sects of cloistered moonks, or whether hée foresaw anie fall towards of those sects) disuaded bishop Fox what he could from that his purpose and opinion, and said vnto him;

What my lord, shall we build houses, and prouide liuelodes for a compa|nie of bussing moonks, whose end and fall we our selues maie liue to sée? No, no, it is more méet a great deale, that we should haue care to prouide for the increase of learning, and for such as who by their learning shall doo good in the church and common|wealth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 About this season there grew a great hartburning and malicious grudge amongst the Englishmen of the citie of London against strangers; and namelie the artificers found themselues sore grieued, for that such numbers of strangers were permitted to resort hither with their wares, and to exercise handie crafts to the great hinderance and impouerishing of the kings liege people. Besides that, they set nought by the rulers of the citie, & bare themselues too too bold of the kings fauor, wherof they would insolentlie boast; vpon presumption therof, & they offred manie an in|iurious abuse to his liege people, insomuch that a|mong other accidents which were manifest, it fortu|ned that as a carpenter in London called William|son had bought two stockdooues in Cheape, Hall in H. 8. fol. lix. and was about to pay for them, a Frenchman tooke them out of his hand, and said they were not meate for a carpenter.

Well said the Englishman I haue bought them and now paid for them,The insolent sawcinesse of the French|men against the English. and therefore I will haue them. Naie said the Frenchman I will haue them for my lord the ambassadour. And so for better or woorsse, the Frenchman called the Englishman knaue, and went awaie with the stockdooues. The strangers came to the French ambassador, and sur|mised a complaint against the poore carpenter. And the ambassador came to the lord maior, and said so much, that the carpenter was sent to prison: and yet not contented with this, so complained to the kings councell, that the kings commandement was laid on him.The diuelish malice of the Frenchmen. And when sir Iohn Baker knight and other worshipfull persons sued to the ambassador for him, he answered by the bodie of God that the English knaue should lose his life, for he said no Englishman should denie that the Frenchmen required, and other answer had they none.
