Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey (1621-1678)
He was afterwards of Grayes Inne, and chamber-fellow to my counsell, Thomas Corbet, esq. I thinke Mr. Corbet told me he was called to the barre. But by match, or &c. he concieved he should gaine more by turning woodmonger.
The rest of his life and death is lippis et tonsoribus notum.
[Knighted1000 for his great service done in London fire, 1666.]
