Thomas Goodale was born in the mid-1550s (according to his depositions in a lawsuit in 1598 (where he gave his age as 42) and again in 1604 (where he gave his age as 45); his marriage in 1578/9 also supports a mid-1550s birth date (Eccles, pp. 455-6). In that same testimony, he identified himself as a mercer. However by 1581 he was making his living as a player. A prison record from the Counter in July 1581 names him as one of the players who was arrested for brawling with some men from the Inns of Court; Lord Berkeley took responsibility for their offense and sent the company into the provinces Chambers, ES, 2.103-4. The current popular scholarly preference of assigning the plot of "The Second Part of the Seven Deadly Sins" to the Chamberlain's men c. 1597 is the basis for identifying Goodale as a member of that company.
