' says, He was a man of much easier temper
than any of his faculty, he was neither conceited
nor morose, but much a gentleman. . . He was
an innovator in the days of Alphonso, Lupo,
Coperario, and Lawes, . . . and superinduced
a more airy sort of composition, wherein he
had a fluent and happy fancy.'] He was a
performer on the lute and lyra-viol and other
bowed instruments, and one of the musicians to

composer uf Fancies, some for viols and
