Painting under Edward VI. and Mary, 205 



He put the mint of Briftol into the hands of 

 the admiral, who was to take thence 10,000 /•' 

 per. month for his rebellious pupofes. Yet 

 Sherrington was pardoned and refbored. It 

 has never obferved, but I fuppofe the 

 lightnefs which is remarked in the coins of 

 Edward VI. was owing to the embezzle^^ 

 ments of this perfon. 



Now I am mentioning the mint, I fhall 

 take notice that am.ong the patent-rolls is a 

 grant in the 6th of Edward to Antony De- 

 ric of the office of capital fculptor of the 

 monies in the tower of London ; and at the 

 end of the fame year John Brown is ap- 

 pointed during pleafure furveyor of the 

 coins. Clement Adams has a grant to in- 

 ftrudl the king's henchmen or pages -, an of- 

 fice he retained under queen Elizabeth. In 

 Hackluyt's voyages, * that of Richard Chan- 

 celer to Cathay is faid to be written in Latin 

 by that learned young man Clement Adams. 



Of the prote6lor*s rival, Dudley duke of 

 Northumberland, there is a good head in 

 the chamber at Knowle, where there are ^o 

 many curious portraits, fuppofed to have 

 been alTembled by the treafurer Buckhurft.
