(192 words)

English Catholic priest. Born c. 1521; died at Antwerp, October-November 1572. Bachelor of Arts at St. John's College, Cambridge, 1538-39, Bullock was soon afterwards elected a fellow of his college. He became M.A. in 1542. After the accession of Edward VI he went abroad for two years. Returning to England upon the accession of Queen Mary, he was admitted master of St. John's College in May 1554 and became Lady Margaret professor of divinity at Cambridge in 1556. In 1559-1560 he left England for the continent, going first to France and afterwards to the Southern Netherlands. He must have resided for several years in the Abbey of Ninove and at Brussels, before moving to Antwerp, where he lived during his last years and was buried in the Abbey of St. Michael. Cf. Dictionary of National Biography, 7, 1886, page 254 (with some errors: the death of Bullocus is not in or about 1580, but can be fixed, by way of the Plantinian records, in October-November 1572; Abbey of Nevers, France, is to be read Abbey of Ninove, Flanders).
