“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.”
