Reading edition
Strype, (in his Annals, i. 106,) says 177. He adds "In one of the volumes of the Cotton Library—which volume seemeth once to have belonged to Camden—the whole number of the deprived ecclesiastics is digested in this catalogue: Bishops, 14; Deans, 13; Archdeacons, 14; Heads of Colleges, 15; Prebendaries, 50; Rectors of Churches, 80; Abbots, Priors, and Abbesses, 6; in all, 192. Camden, in his Annals, little varies, only reckoning 12 Deans and as many Archdeacons."
