He was made Hebrew professor of the university by Henry VIII. And when chaplain to the duke of Sudolk, he was concerned in the education of his daughter the lady Jane Grey. From a protestant under Edward, he became a strong catholic undermary, and at the accession of Eliza beth, he lost his preferment and retired to Louvain, where he became, says Wood, the target of popery.
