Richard Bancroft (1544-1610)
In MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 119v, is this jotting:—
‘Dr. Mat. Skinner. Resp. ’tis archbishop Bancroft’s picture—quod N.B., and inscribe.’
This is probably to be interpreted as meaning—‘Enquire whether the portrait,’ in a certain place, ‘is that of Dr. Matthew Skinner.’ Finding that it is the portrait of Richard Bancroft, ‘see that the name is inscribed on it,’ for future identification.
