And after this sort manie hundreds more that had their names so altered; as euen in like maner vnto this reuerend prelat in the prime of his towardnesse was changed his fathers surname Paten to Wain|fléet of the towne where hee was borne in Lin|colneshire:Williã W [...]|fleet bishop [...] Winchester, lord chancel|lor of Eng|land, founder of Magdel [...] college in Oxford. a matter right proueable aswell by the records of the house there extant, as by a faire déed re|maining among other his proper euidences, in the hands of the worshipfull maister Thomas Fanshaw esquier, the quéenes maiesties remembrancer in the escheker at Westminster. And as the names of Germin, German, Germi, are but for one name though diuerslie wrested, and all to remember Ger|manie, the countrie their ancestors came from; and also as Iute, Iud, and Chute, are all but for the race of Iutes, An.
