 Title
The devotion of such a man as Bishop Selwyn the elder, whereby he was led to surrender a 'good career' as a clergyman at home, was regarded even by some estimable Bishops as quite 'inexplicable.'

The Exeter Jews, whose debts to the king were claimed, are Samuel of Wilton, who had died, his widow Iveta, Deodatus the son of Amiot, Jacob of Gloucester, Samuel Episcopus (Cohen) and Samson cum ore (with the mouth).

 Canadian Journal of History: Register of Walter Bronescombe, Bishop of Exeter 1258-1280: Volume I / The Register of ...
The registers of medieval bishops were used to record all matters of routine episcopal administration (ecclesiastical appointments, correspondence, court business, and visitations of parishes, hospitals, colleges, and monasteries), although the inclusion or omission of items and their arrangement in the register could be highly idiosyncratic.
However, because bishops dealt with many aspects of both ecclesiastical and secular life, the registers reveal much beyond the minutiae of administration, and so are a rich source not only for religious and ecclesiastical historians, but for social, cultural, intellectual, and gender historians as well.
With one or two early and sketchy exceptions, English bishops and their secretaries began to keep and pass down their registers in the second half of the thirteenth century, the great age of record-keeping; Bishop Bronescombe's register is therefore one of the earliest, and although it lacks visitation records it is remarkably full.

 Devon History: Exeter Bishop's Palace
The Bishop's Palace at Exeter is a building intimately associated with the Cathedral and, despite the few fragments now remaining of this, once great, medieval house, it still demands notice.
On the west side of the palace, and attached to it, a prison stood for scandalous and felonious priests.
This was not, however, an unique appendage, for Archbishop Boniface commanded that there should be at least one such prison in every diocese: "Every bishop should have, in his diocese, one or two gaols for the punishment of clerics or the detaining of convicts according to canonical law".

Gossip the third: the diocese of Portsmouth is to alter the procedure for parishes which have petitioned under the Act of Synod from section 5 (Provincial Arrangements) to section 4 (Regional Arrangements), and that a suffragan from a neighbouring diocese is to take over the care of Resolution C parishes.
But the flaw in their reasoning was that we were in fact many and that, furthermore, thanks to the tireless ministry of the PEV's and the Bishop of Fulham, which has given us a cohesion and an identity, we have grown in number.
And then, of course, it won't be too long before the diocesans who have put these orthodox suffragans and retired bishops in place begin to move the game on, and replace them with new men, made in their own image.

 THE IDENTITY OF JOHN BISHOP, GUNNER, 1625
Charles I informed the Treasurer and Undertreasurer of the Exchequer of Receipt that he had appointed one “John Bishopp” to be the royal “handgunmaker.” Bishop received an annuity of £12, payable from the Tellers of the Exchequer of Receipt, who disbursed the king’s revenues.
Circumstantial evidence, however, suggests that Bishop was a west country man who had come to the metropolis, where gun-making flourished in the 1630s.
Bishop might well have traded in lead and marked his ingots to attest to their quality.
