_English Bishops deprived by Queen Elizabeth, 1559_ (Vol. vii., p.
260.).--I have endeavoured to procure some information for A. S. A. on
those points which MR. DREDGE left unnoticed, but find that, after his
diligent search, very little indeed is to be gleaned. _Bishop Payne_ died
in January, 1559/60 (Strype's _Annals_, anno 1559). Dod, in vol. i. p. 507.
of his _Church History_, mentions a letter of _Bishop Goldwell's_, or, as
he calls him, _Godwell's_, to Dr. Allen, dated anno 1581:
"This letter," he says, "seems to be written not long before Bishop
Godwell's death, for I meet with no farther mention of him. Here the
reader may take notice of a mistake in Dr. Heylin, who tells us he died
prisoner in Wisbich Castle, which is to be understood of Bishop
Watson."
Of _Bishop Pate_ he says:
"He was alive in 1562, but how long after I do not find."--Vol. i. p.
488.
_Bishop Pole_, according to the same authority, died a prisoner at large
about the latter end of May, 1568. _Bishop Frampton_ died May 25, 1708
(Calamy's _Own Times_, vol. ii. p. 119.). I cannot ascertain the day of
_Bishop White's_ death, but he was buried, according to Evelyn (vol. iii.
p. 364.), June 5, 1698.
