Turner of Bal. coll, was admitted the same day.— He was a Londoner born, and was master of arts of Cambr. in which degree being incorporated with us, an. 1602, entred himself into Bal. coll, (having before spent some years in foreign academies in the study of phys.) and as a member of that coll, he was admitted to practise his fa¬ culty, 13 July 1604. After he had been admitted doctor, he retired to London, lived in Fetter-lane, became one of the coll, of physicians, and eminent for his practice. One Will. Turner doct. of phys. wrote a pamphlet entit. Ad no- bilem Britannum, or an Abstract of England's Royal Peers. When written I cannot tell; sure I am, ’twas printed at London in 1641, qu. Whether this Will. Turner be the same with the former of Bal. coll. I cannot justly say, nor whether he was one of the sons of Dr. Pet. Turner men¬ tioned among the incorporations, an. 1599 ; yet that he was descended from William, father of the said Dr. Peter Turner, ’tis not to be doubted. 3 [See some lines addressed by Andrews to Camden, printed in tbe Hist.
