[1] ¶ Here is to be noted, that whilest the quéene and lords laie in Winchester waiting for the kings arri|uall, [page 118] Geffrey Riddle the bishop of Elie departed this life. He is named by Geruasius Dorobernensis the proud bishop of Elie: but he might rather haue named him the rich bishop, for he left in his cofers no small quantitie of treasure, of the which thrée thou|sand and two hundred marks came to the kings part towards the charges of his coronation. No maruell though Geruasius spake somewhat in his dis|praise, for (as he himselfe confesseth) he was no fréend but an enimie to moonks.
