Thomas duke of Norffolke, who in the last yeare of king Henrie the eight (as you haue heard) was supposed to be attain|ted of treason: but in the parlement of this first EEBO page image 1089 yeare of quéene Marie, the said supposed attaindour was by the authoritie and act of parlement, for good and apparant causes alleged in the said act, decla|red to be vtterlie frustrat and void.

Edward Courtneie, she not onelie aduanced him to the earldome of Deuonshire,Edward
Courtneie created earle of Deuon|shire. but also to so much of his fathers possessions as there
re|mained in hir hands; whereby it was then thought of manie, that she bare affection to him by the
waie of marriage: but it came not so to passe (for what cause I am not
able to giue anie reason) but surelie the subiects of England were most desirous thereof. Upon the receiuing
of this new queene, all the bishops which had béene depriued in the time of king Edward the sixt hir
brother,Bishops re|stored and o|thers depri|ued. for the cause of reli|gion,
were now againe restored to their bishopriks; and such other as were placed in king Edward his time, remoued
from their sées, and others of con|trarie religion placed. Amongest whom, Edmund Bonner doctor of the lawes, late afore depriued from the sée of London, and committed
prisoner to the Marshalsea by order of king Edwards councell, was with all fauour restored to his libertie
and bi|shoprike. Maister Nicholas Ridleie doctor in diuini|tie, late before aduanced to the same sée by the
said king, was hastilie displaced, and committed priso|ner to the tower of London. The cause why such
ex|tremitie was vsed towards the said bishop Ridleie, more than to the rest, was for that in the time of
ladie Iane,
Why Ridleie was more ri|gorouslie handled than the rest.

The said doctor taking occasion of the gospell of that daie, spake somewhat largelie in the iustifieng of bi|shop Bonner, being present at the sermon, which bishop (as the said preacher then openlie said) for a sermon made vpon the same text, and in the same place the same daie foure yéeres afore passed, was most vniustlie cast into the vile dungeon of the Mar|shalsea among theeues, and there kept during the time of king Edwards reigne. This matter being set foorth with great vehemencie, so much offended the eares of part of the audience, that they brake si|lence, and began to murmur and throng togither, in such sort as the maior and aldermen with other of the wiser sort then present feared much an vprore. Du|ring which muttering, one more feruent than his fellowes threw a dagger at the preacher:A dagger throwne at the preacher. but who it was, came not to knowlege. By reason of which out|rage the preacher withdrew himselfe from the pulpit, and one maister Bradford at the request of the prea|chers brother and others standing there, tooke the place, and spake so mildlie to the people, that with few words he appeased their furie: and after the said maister Bradford and maister Rogers, although men of contrarie religion, conueied the said preacher into Paules schoole, and there left him safelie.
