Mr. Ellis states that this individual was Treasurer of the Chamber,
and was appointed Secretary to the King for the French tongue, with
a salary of 100 marks, in 1523. He purchased the manor of Layer
Marney in Essex in 1525, and was Sheriff of that county in 1533. He
died on the 26th October, 1545, and was buried at St. Margaret's,
Walbrooke. _Original Letters_, First Series, vol. i, p. 283. Mr.
Ellis has printed some, and referred to several of his letters.
Collins says, Tuke was Secretary to Cardinal Wolsey, _Peerage_, Ed.
1779, vol. i. p. 87. The entries respecting him in these accounts
only refer to the months of January and February, 1530, and relate
to payments of large sums to the Emperor, or for other purposes.
The whole amount paid into his hands on those occasions was
5143_l._ 8_s._

Thirlby Doctor, 262.
Afterwards the first and only Bishop of Westminster. Mr. Lodge says
of him in a note to a letter in his _Illustrations_, that he was
an able civilian, and was employed in several embassies by Henry.
He was translated to Norwich by Edward VI. and to Ely by Mary, and
died at Lambeth, 26th August, 1570. That elegant writer farther
observes, "The mildness of his conduct during the persecutions
of the Protestants by Mary, secured him a quiet retreat in the
following reign. In making a grave for the burial of Archbishop
Cornwallis, at Lambeth, in 1783, the body of Bishop Thirlby was
discovered in its coffin, in a great measure undecayed, as was the
cloathing. The corpse had a cap on its head, and a hat under its
arm."
