This man was (as it should appeare in stories) full of contumarie and selfe will, vntractable he was and of nature rebellious. Iohn Fox. For saith maister Fox in the reigne of king Edward, being cast into the tower for his disobedience, where he kept his Christmasse thrée yeares togither, more worthie of some other place without the tower, if it had pleased God other|wise not to haue meant a further plague to this realme by that man. Howbeit he was indued with such excellencie of lerning, and that of sundrie sutes, that of the learned he is noted for a mirror of that age wherein he liued: and albeit a papist, yet not de|priuable of the praise which it pleased God to prouide for him (being an enimie vnto the truth, perhaps through feare as manie more) by those rare and ma|nifold good means wherewith he was adorned. Inso|much that Leland, a man of a cleare iudgement and great insight to discerne betwéene substantiallie and superficiallie learned, comparing this bishop Tunstall with profound Budeus, saith as foloweth:

Qua te nostra canet Tunstalle Britannia laude?Collatio Bude [...] & Cutberti Tunstalli.

An qua Budaeum Gallia docta suum?

Candidus ille studet Graecam celebrare Mineruam,

Graecorum celebras tu monumenta patrum.

Ille colit veteres intento pectore leges,

Sunt studij leges cura diserta tui.

Ille rudes assis docuit cognoscere partes,

Tu numeros primus verba Latina loqui.

Gallia causidicum tecum dignare Britannum

Conferri, niueis dignus vtér notis.]
