Thomas Archer (1554-1630?)
He had two thick 4to MSS. of his own collection; one, joci and tales etc., and discourses at dinners; the other, of the weather. I have desired parson Poynter106, his successor, to enquire after them, but I find him slow in it. No doubt there are delicate things to be found there.
