Nathaniel Torporley

Memorandum : Mr. Nicholas Mercator (who taught the last earl of Northumberland, then lord Percy, at Petworth) assures me that the earle of Northumberland who was prisoner in the Tower gave also a pension to one Mr. . . . Torporley, Salopiensis, a learned man ; and that in the library of that family (I thinke) at Petworth, are some papers of his : quaere iterum.
