N our laft Review we brought down our account of this eminent Martyr to the year 1549. We fhall now communicate to our Readers fome of the principal tranfactions of the remaining part of his life: these are comprehended in the compass of about fix years; a period comparatively but fhort; and yet as it was the active, especially as it was the fuffering, part of his life, it is on these accounts the most interesting. • Sometime in the month of May, of this year, the Bishop of Rochester, with others appointed in commiffion with him, repaired to Cambridge, to hold (as he then understood it) a vifi-. tation, for the abolishing ftatutes and ordinances which maintained popery and fuperftition; not knowing the further end propofed, which was the fuppreffion of Clare-Hall. He defired to fee the inftructions: but was put off by his affociates, who feemed afraid of fhewing them to him, until they had engaged him in this action, by opening it with a fermon, and proceeding two days in the bufinefs of it. Upon making the difcovery, he thought it best to concur with the other Commiffioners in perfuading the Masters and Fellows, voluntarily to furrender their college into the King's hands. This being without effect, and the Commiffioners feeming determined to proceed in the affair with a high hand, the Bifhop modeftly oppofed their meafures, and with great calmnefs diffented. This put a flop to their proceedings for the prefent. The Commiffioners complained to the Protector: the Protector wrote a chiding letter to the Bishop, and feveral letters paffed between them upon the Dr. Ridley then held the See of Rochefter: fee Review for laft month, page 446.
