Diary of Thomas Earl.—Strype (Annals, vols. i. & ii.) sometimes refers to a MS. No. 206. in the collection of Moore, Bishop of Ely, which he describes as a Diary (vol. i. pp. 135. 180.) kept
by Thomas Earl, who was made parson of St. Mildred's, Bread Street, at the beginning of Queen Elizabeth's reign, and "seems to have been a diligent noter of matters of remark concerning religion in his time" (vol. ii. p. 539.). In the Catal. Libr. MSS. Angl., part ii. p. 366., it is described—
"Short notes of matters relating to the church by way of annals, written by some that favoured Puritanism, from the year 1548 to 1599."
Bishop Moore left his library to the University of Cambridge. Is this MS. in their possession, and is it a piece of historic value?
