Pallant was a performer in the 'plat' of the second part of the Seven Deadly Sins, before 1588: possibly after he had ceased to act he became an instrumental performer in the band. The fee to the Master of the Revels for a warrant for the musicians of the king's company' appears to have been 17., and on the 9th of April, 1627, Sir H. Herbert enters the receipt of that sum for that purpose; before this date we do not hear of any such claim by the Master of the Revels. Dr. Burney, in his History of Music (iii. 376), quotes from a MS., then in the possession of Dr. Moreton of the British Museum, an account of the preparation and performance of Shirley's Mask of Peace in February, 1633-4, in which it is said that the Blackfriars music' was then 'esteemed the best of the common musicians in London.' The shifts they were put to, after the closing of the theatres in 1642, are thus humorously noticed by the author of The Actor's Remonstrance, 1643 :— Our music, that was held so delectable and precious, that they 'scorned to come to a tavern under twenty shillings salary ' for two hours, now wander with their instruments under 'their cloaks-I mean such as have any-into all houses ' of good fellowship, saluting every room where there is 6 company with "Will you have any music, gentlemen ?"'
