priated some of the money
entrusted to him; but he afterwards made full restitution. In April 1547
he took chambers in the Inner Temple, and began to study law; but
finding divinity more congenial, he removed, in the following year, to
St Catharine's Hall, Cambridge, where he studied with such assiduity
that in little more than a year he was admitted by special grace to the
degree of master of arts, and was soon after made fellow of Pembroke
Hall, the fellowship being "worth seven pound a year." One of his pupils
was John Whitgift. Bishop Ridley, who in 1550 was translated to the see
of London, sent for him and appointed him his chaplain. In 1553 he was
also made chaplain to Edward VI., and became one of the most popular
preachers in the kingdom, earning high praise from John Knox. Soon after
the accession of Mary he was arrested on a charge of sedition, and
confined in the Tower and the king's bench prison for a year and a half.
During this time he wrote several epistles which were dispersed in
various parts of the kingdom. He was at last brought to trial (January
1554/5) before the court in which Bishop Gardiner sat as chief, and,
refusing to retract his principles, was condemned as a heretic and
burnt, with John Leaf, in Smithfield on the 1st of July 1555.

His writings, which consist chiefly of sermons, meditations, tracts,
letters and prayers, were edited by A. Townsend for the Parker Society
(2 vols. 8vo, Cambridge, 1848-1853).
