W. E. Buckley, Notes and Queries (1888)
“ Strype’s language in the ‘Annals’ is undoubtedly vague, and likely to mislead at first sight. The whole story is correctly stated by Archdeacon Churton, in his ‘Life of Dean Nowell,’ written, where I am now writing, at Middleton Cheney, and published at Oxford in 1809, see pp. 70–73. Douce was not aware of his mistake, as it is repeated in a long MS. note on the fly-leaf of his copy of the 1590 edition of the ‘Book of Prayers’ now in the Bodleian Library. The dialogue between the Queen and the Dean is (illegible text) reading, but is too long for ‘N. & Q.’ W. E. Buckley. ”
