John Véron

He studied at Orléans in 1534, and about 1536 settled in England: his letters of denization, dated 2 July 1544, stated that he had spent eight years in that country, that he had been a student at Cambridge (without graduating, apparently), and that he was, and intended to continue to be, a tutor.

He witnessed, or was in some way involved in, the uproar at Paul's Cross, which led on to the arrest of John Bradford on 16 August 1553; Véron was also committed to the Tower of London, both being styled seditious preachers.

On 1 March 1562 Véron certified to the Privy Council the accuracy of a translation of a French pamphlet against Catholicism that was being considered for publication in England.

In addition, he had translated Huldrych Zwingli's "Short Pathway to the Understanding of the Scriptures", which was dedicated to Sir Arthur Darcy and Bullinger on "Infant Baptism".

At about 1560, Véron published "A moste necessary treatise of free wil not onlye against the Papists, but also against the Anabaptists" (London); and subsequently in 1561 "The Huntynge of Purgatorye to Death" (London), an adaptation of works of Pierre Viret[1] dedicated to Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford, and "The Overthrow of the Justification of Works", dedicated to James Blount, 6th Baron Mountjoy.

He was also the author of "A frutefull Treatise of Predestination... with an Apology of the same... whereunto are added... a very necessary boke against the free wyll men, and another of the true justification of faith and the good workes proceadynge of the same" (London, 1563?
