He became, according to John Strype, a great proficient in the Greek and Latin tongues, an eminent divine, and a learned minister of the gospel. He was in exile during the reign of Mary; but Elizabeth, on coming to the crown, appointed him one of her chaplains, gave him a commission to act under her as an ambassador, and promoted him to the see of Rochester, which however he did not live to fill. It is said he was buried in the church of St. Thomas Apostle, in London, August 30, 1559. He translated into English De Authoritate Verbi Dei by Alexander Aless and in 1543 works of Philipp Melancthon while he was abroad. He also wrote A Christian Introduction for Youth.
