John Addison

John Addison D.D., was an English divine. A native of the diocese of York, he was admitted to a fellowship at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge University in 1505, and graduated B.D. in 1519, and D.D. in 1523. He became chaplain to John Fisher, bishop of Rochester, and in the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Henry VIII he was attainted by parliament of misprision of treason for concealment of the pretended revelations of Elizabeth Barton, the "Holy Maid of Kent", and it was enacted that he should lose his spiritual promotions from 20 March 1533–4.
