Best is declared by Newcourt (Repertor. Londin.) to have been reinstated in 1558–Mr. Hennessy has edited this statement out of his edition of Newcourt—but there seems little doubt that it was, at any rate, approximately correct. If Wells had been vicar when he died, the Churchwardens' Accounts would almost certainly have described him otherwise than simply as "preste." But it is possible that Wells conformed and kept his place; at any rate his name is not in the list of ejected ministers given by Nicholas Sanders in "De Visib. Monarch. Eccles."
