Imprinted in the yere of our Lord, M.D.XLVIII. "Henry Brinklow (d. 1546) began life as a Franciscan or Grey Friar, but left the Order and became Mercer of London. He adopted the opinions of the reforming party, and wrote satires on social and religious subjects under the pseudonym of Roderigo More. He says that he was banished from England through the influence of the bishops. By his will, dated 1546, the year of his death, and proved by his widow Margery, he left £5 to the godly learned men who labour in the vineyard of the Lord, and fight against Anti-Christ.' This will shows that he was a man of substance." D.N.B.
