“The death of Mary, and the accession of Elizabeth, on the 17th
of November, 1558, were the joyful signal of return to the exiles. Jewell was
not among the earliest revisitants of his country, and the date of his arrival
in England is uncertain. That he met his old tutor, Parkhurst, at Strasburgh,
on his way home; that he had an unusually long passage, being fifty-seven days
on his journey from Zurich; and that he arrived in time to be appointed one of
the disputants in the famous conference between the Romish and Protestant
Divines, held during the sitting of Parliament, in March, 1558-9, is all that
is known.”
