In the reign of queen Mary he was pastor of the first Protestant congregation; in London, but went abroad during the Marian persecution returned in the early days of Elizabeth's reign, and was chaplain to archbishop Parker; consecrated bishop of Peterborough in 1560, translated to Norwich in 1584. He conducted himself with wisdom and moderation, was a learned man, but zealous against the papists.
