p. 32. The record is confused, stating that Biston was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Salisbury on 29.3.1598, and priest by the Bishop of Gloucester on 4.1.95 os. Obviously admission to the diaconate precedes priesting; and the see of Salisbury was vacant on 29.3.98. It may very well be that Bistont iwas ordained deacon by the Bshop of Salisbury on 4.1.1595 os, and priested by the Bishop of Gloucester on 29.3.1598. |
