[328] The conjecture of R. W. Bond (Lyly, i. 41) that Lyly was actually Clerk Comptroller is rendered untenable by our complete knowledge of the succession to that post; cf. Tudor Revels, 60, and Feuillerat, Lyly, 194, who shows that Lyly was the Queen's 'servant' as Esquire of the Body.

[331] Patent Roll, 1 Jac. I, p. 24, m. 25; Text from seventeenth-century copy in Dramatic Records, 14; docquet, dated 21 June, in S. P. D. Jac. I, ii. p. 16. The terms, which follow those of earlier patents, are recited in the Declared Accounts of the Office from 1610-11 onwards.
[332] Patent Roll, 1 Jac. I, p. 24, m. 31. The date 1613 given by Chalmers, 491, is an error. An imperfect copy is in Dulwich MS. xviii. 5, f. 51 (Warner, 338). The docquet in S. P. D. Jac. I, ii. p. 16, is dated 21 June.

[334] He did not, however, get Tilney's fee of £100 (cf. p. 103) but only the original £10 (Abstract of 1617) or, according to some of the manuscript fee lists (Stowe MSS. 574, f. 16; 575, f. 22ᵛ), £20. Tilney's monument is in Streatham church (Lysons, Environs, i. 365) but does not give the exact date of his death.
