John Thornborough, B. D. born in Salisbury, and bred in Magdalens-Colledge in Oxford, was a man of goodly Presence; By Queen Elizabeth he was made Dean of York, and Bishop of Lymrick in Ireland, where he had a wonderful deliverance; For an upper Floor in an old Castle, wherein he, his Wife and Chil∣dren lay, did fall down in the dead hour of the night,
into his Room, and rested on some Chests, (after it had crushed Cupboards and Tables, &c.) without hurting any living Creature. An. 1. Jac. he was Con∣secrated Bishop of Bristol, holding his other places in Commendam with it, and from thence was Transla∣ted to Worcester. Being a great Chymist he presented King James with an Extraction, which was reputed a preserver of Health, and prolonger of Life, though as for the Bishop himself, I conceive that his merry heart was his best Elixir: Dying exceeding Aged An. Dom. 164..
