IV. William Cantelowe's Masses. 27 March, 1460.

This is a Notarial Instrument certifying the Agreement made two years before, which was printed in Grey Friars of London, pp. 208– 11. In itself it does not add anything to that Agreement. But it is of great interest for giving us a list of the Friars present in the Chapter House on this occasion (see pp. 74–5 above). From Chancery Miscellanea, xx, 7 (9), at P.R.O.
