NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.

(Colltinuedfrom p. 346.)

R John Tayler, from whose correspondence we select a few letters, was Master of St IID 38 to John's from July 15 1546. He was originally of Queens' College (B.A. 1523-4). He was learned, eminently pious and greatly esteemed as a preacher, and was one of the Compilers of the Book of Common Prayer. But his reign in St John's was neither a peaceful nor a happy one. Baker's account of the matter is not very easy to understand. The majority of the Fellows were not satisfied with the justice of Tayler's rule. Dr Tayler became Rector of St Peter's, Cornhill, in London in 1536, and the fo llowing letter from Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London, gives a curious glimpse of that prelate acting as tax collector to Henry VIII.
