Ben Jonson
from the Exchequer Accounts, dated 9 July 1630. The timing of this payment and its
amount
suggest that this is a quarterly pension payment to
Jonson
from the crown (cf. L1630_20). Other payments include those to John Drew (fl. 1634,
musician)
and
John Lawrence
(d. 1635, musician)
. The document comprises a large bi-folded
sheet, making four pages. (Amounts are expressed as pounds - shillings - pence.)
