_Sir John Cheke._--May I hope for a reply to my Queries--in what court
poor Sir John Cheke was forced to sit beside Bishop Bonner, at the
trials of the martyrs? and at whose trials he was present? His sad
recantation took place in the year 1556, and his death, from a broken
heart, in the year following; so that his being compelled to sit on the
bench beside Bonner, must have been at the trials which took place
between those two dates. I have Foxe, Fuller, and Strype's memoirs of
Sir John Cheke; but I shall be grateful for any information about him
from any other old volumes, or from private sources.
