John Bale who on the second of February 1552. was Consecrated Bishop of Ossory for his fidelity and afterwards by Queen Mary expulsed Also Thomas Lancaster Bishop of Kildare who was at the same time put from his Bishoprick with several others of the Clergy being all expulsed upon Queen Maries coming to the Crown When these passages had passed Sir Anthony was in a short time after recalled for England and Sir James Crofts of Herefordshire Knight placed Chief in his stead who began his Government from the 29th of April 1551. Sir James Crofts upon his coming over endeavoured much for the perswading of George Dowdall to adhere to the Order aforesaid but Dowdall being obstinate his Majesty and the Learned Privy Council then of England for his perversness upon the 20th of October following took away the Title of Primate of all Ireland from him and conferred the same on George Browne then Archbishop of Dublin and to his Successors by reason that he was the first of the Irish Bishops who embraced the Order for Establishing of the English Liturgy and Reformation in Ireland which place he enjoyed during the remainder of King Edward's Reign and for a certain time after as you shall know further in it due course and place Alterations following one after another even upon this Reformation of the Church of England and the Title of Primacy being disposed of as we have already mentioned unto George Brown aforesaid some Writers saying that George Dowdall was banished others that he was not but went voluntary of his own will yet not to dispute the case another Archbishop was consecrated in lieu of him though then living by which it was then held lawful as also that constituting of Archbishops and Bishops was in the power of Kings and not in the power of Popes or of the Bishop of Rome which would be much to the Abasement of the Powers of the Crown of England ever to resign or to acknowledge to the contrary Hugh Goodacre consecrated Archbishop of Armagh though George Dovvdall was living Hugh Goodacre Bachelour of Divinity was consecrated Archbishop of Armagh by the said George Browne together with John Bale Bishop of Ossory already mentioned in Christ Church in Dublin on the second of February Anno 1552. Thomas Bishop of Kildare and Eugenius Bishop of Down and Connor assisting him yet notwithstanding Hugh Goodacres Consecration George Browne then held the Title of Primacy of all Ireland K. Edvvard's Death alters what hath been done before This Reformation and Alteration having not time to settle or to take root it was soon quashed and pulled down by that lamentable loss of that hopeful Prince King Edward the Sixth who died at Greenwich the 6th of June 1553. The Lady Jane Gray and Q. Mary contend for the Crown Upon King Edward's Decease the Council having met to consult together upon the Affairs of these Dominions as also how they might confirm and establish what they had already ordered and enacted as well in Ecclesiastical matters as Temporal a Division soon sprung up some being for the Choice of the Lady Jane Gray others for Queen Mary at last upon conclusion Mary the Kings Sister was voted Queen upon the Proposals and Promises which she made to the Council to confirm all that had been perfected by her Father King Henry the 8th and her Brother King Edward and his Honoured Council Q. Mary recalls what K. H. and K. E. had done After she had been crowned and enthroned she for the space of three or four months seemed moderate to the Protestant Reformers yet all that while combining with Rome and her Emissaries but having accomplished her Designs she revoked her fair Promises which with Papists is a Rule esteeming it no sin to break Contracts or Covenants with Hereticks and Protestants numbred with such sort of people especially with Papists these promises vanished and then began the Romish Church not only to undo what King Henry and his Son King Edward had reformed but to prosecute the Reformers and Reformed with Fire and Faggot Sir James Crofts recall'd and G. Dovvdall restored But to our purpose upon the 11th of November Anno 1553. she recalled Sir James Crofts and sent over Sir Anthony St. Leger Lord Deputy into Ireland This Sir Anthony had not been half a year Chief Governour of Ireland before Queen Mary revoked the Title of Primacy from George Browne expulsing Hugh Goodacre out of the Archbishoprick of Armagh and recalling George Dowdall to his See and restoring him to the Primacy of all Ireland as formerly which Title hath ever since stood firm in Armagh without any Revocation either by Queen Elizabeth or by any of her Successors George Browne upon this Revocation was by George Dowdall expulsed George Browne by George Dowdall expulsed and not thought fit to continue in his See of Dublin as being a married man and it is thought had he not been married he had been expulsed having appeared so much for the Reformation in both these former Kings days upon the expulsing of this George Browne all the Temporalities belonging to the Archbishoprick were disposed of unto Thomas Lockwood then Dean of Christ Church in Dublin It having been an antient Custom ever upon the Translation or Death of any of those Archbishops to deposite the Temporalities into the hands of the Priors formerly of that Cathedral when it was a Priory and called by the name of the Cathedral of the Blessed Trinity And it is observable the last Prior became the first Dean upon the alteration as aforesaid The See of Dublin after this Expulsion lay vacant for two years or thereabouts until Hugh Corrin alias Corwine was placed therein Hugh Corwine succeeded G.
