The text consists of ff. 1–327.
  • 2. The second ‘y’ is doubtful, the spelling intended being perhaps ‘Laygles’; of. ‘Thomas Laigleys’ in Cal. Lett. VIII, p. 354, but ‘Thomas Layles’ in Cal. Lett. IX, p. 192.
  • 3. The writing is not clear.
  • 4. trecentarum librarum sterlingorum.
  • 5. Whether the chancellorship has cure of souls or not is not stated.
