him.¶This reuerend father examined throughlie the English translation of the holie bibles, wherein
he partlie vsed the helpe of his brethren bishops, and o|ther doctors, and caused the same to be newlie
prin|ted in the largest volume, for the due furniture of manie churches then wanting. Also making dili|gent
search for the antiquities of the Britons, and English Saxons, to the end those monuments might be
carefullie kept, he caused them to be well bound and trimlie couered: and
such wherof he knew verie few examples to be extant (among the which was Matthew Paris, Matthew
Florilegus, and Tho|mas Walsingham) he caused to be printed. The fa|mous palace of his see
at Canturburie, by long con|tinuance decaied & consumed with fire, he renewed, builded, and fullie
restored with the charges of more than fourtéene hundred pounds.
