BISHOP AYLMER. 45 



Pern, Dean of Ely, and others, making complaint to the CHAP, 

 said Chancellor of the Puritans 1 disorderly preaching, and of IV&amp;gt; 

 the unsuitable apparel of the scholars, he was resolved to 

 take some order for the redress of both, he sent the said 

 Dean to the Bishop from him, for his opinion ; which ac 

 cordingly he gave in these particulars. 1. That all licences 

 granted by the University should be called in, and granted 

 anew by the Heads, to such as would subscribe to the articles 

 sy nodical, as in all dioceses it was used ; and that bonds 

 should be taken of the parties that they should preach no 

 innovation, as he himself used to do in granting his licences. 

 %. That the Heads of the houses might be enjoined by the 

 Chancellor to see every man to his own company, that both 

 at home and abroad they used scholars 1 apparel, according 

 to their statutes ; or else to crave the aid of the rest of the 

 Heads to expel such stubborn persons out of the University, 

 as would not submit themselves to that order. And this to 

 be done by some injunction from her Majesty, to authorize 

 the Heads in that behalf. And this he thought would be a 

 good way for the redress of both offences; for, Stultitia, 

 said he, ligata in corde pueri virga disciplines fugatur; and 

 indeed the only way ; for he thought no other way would 

 do. These were the resolute counsels of a resolute man. 



The Bishop about this time, or somewhat before, thought Licence for 

 fit to grant somewhat an unusual licence to one Manwaring, 

 which was to keep good order at the funerals of the nobility 

 and gentry; when the rude people used to commit much 

 outrage and disorder by defacing the hearses as they passed 

 along the streets, and violently taking away the coats of 

 arms and other ornaments ; and to preserve the better de 

 cency at these solemnities ; yet without intent of encroach 

 ing upon the office of heralds. And to this tenor ran the 

 Bishop s faculty, which because somewhat extraordinary I 

 set down.
