$Londoner, was elected student of Ch. Ch. 1.587, [327] or thereabouts, took the degrees in arts, that of master being compleated 1594, at which time he was had in great renown for his most excellent vein in poesy, not only expressed in verses printed in several books, made occasionally by the mem- bers of the university, but for that writ in English verse entit. The Life and Death of Tho. Wohey, Cardinal. Divided into 3 parts; his aspiring, triumph and death. Lond. 1599, in ten sheets in qu. Which book being perused by the learned Dr. Alberic. Gentilis, he doth occasionally make' this mention of Wolsey and our author. ' Atq; 6 utinam, &c. quod Wolsajo, sedificatori magnificentissimi col- legii Christi, prsestitum ab ingenioso poeta est, &c.' The truth is, Storer obtained from the then academians great credit for that work, (particularly from'his friend Ch. Fitzgeoffry' the poet of Broadgate's hall) but more among others for his Pastoral J ires and Madrigals, which were af- terwards remitted into a book called England's Helicon. What other things this ingenious per- son hath extant, I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he died in the parish of St. Michael Basinghaugh within the city of London 1604. in November, in sixteen hundred and four, and was, as I conceive, buried in the church there. Divers copies of verses were made on his death by his acquaintance in this university and else- where, but are not, as I conceive, printed. [Some extracts from Storer's pieces are found in England's Parnassus, and a copy of commen- datory verses before Vaughan's Golden Grove, 1600. LI is Life of Wolseij is a book of very un- common occurrence. Hearne says he had looked very earnestly for it for several years, and speaks - with great joy when he obtained it, at length, for a shilling. It is by no means a despicable per- formance, the history of the cardinal is drawn up with elegance and fidelity ; and several parts of it are highly poetical. The following description of Religion is no unfavourable specimen. In chariot framed of celestiall mould. And simple purenesse of the piu-est skie, A more then heau'nly nymph I did beholde. Who glauncing on me with her gracious eie, So gaue me leaue her beautie to espie : For sure no sence such sight can comprehend, . Except herbeames their faire reflection lend. Her beauty with etemitie began. And onely vnto God was euer scene; When Eden was possest with sinful! man, She came to him, and gladly would haue beene.

But they refused her, (O hainous deed!) And from that garden banish't was their seede. Since v/hen, at sundry times and sundry waies, Atheisme and blinded ignorance conspire How to obscure those holy burning raies, And quench that zeale of heart-inflaming fire x\s makes our soules to heau'nly things aspire ; But al in vaine, for maugerall their might, Shee neuer lost one sparkle of her light. Pearles may be foil'd, and gold be turn'd to drosse. The sun obscur'd, the moone be turn'd to bloud, The world may sorrow for Astrsea's losse. The heau'ns be darkned like a dusky wood, Waste desarts lie where watry fountaines stood, But faire Theologie (for so she bight,) Shall neuer loose one sparkle of her light. Sign. E.j PJCHARD TURNBULL was born in Lin- colnshire, admitted scholar of C. C. coll. 9 Nov. 1560, aged 13, or thereabouts, and was afterwards made fellow, 20 Aug. 1569, M. of arts and a priest.. At length being beneficed in London, where he was much followed for his edifying way of preach- ing, wrote and published, j4n Exposition on the cano7iical Epistle of St. James. Lond. 1591, oct. in 28 sermons. [Dedi- cation to the archbishop of Canterbury, dated Oc- tober 23, 1593. Kennet.] Exposition on the Canon. Epist. of St. Jude. In 10 sermons. Printed there the same year in oct. Four Sermons on Psal. 15. Which sermons, with the former expositions, were printed in quarto at Lond. 1606, [Bodl. 4to. T. 27.Th.] the author being then dead. I find that one Will. Turnbull Clar. L. L. bac. was installed preb. of Worcester 1557, 1004. which he resigned in 1558, being then parson of Fladbury in Worcestershire, and that he died in Jul. or Aug. 1573. Whether this William was a writer, or had any relation to Richard before-men- tioned, it doth not yet appear to me. [Ric. Turnball, A. M. admiss. ad eccl. S.
