It is stated in p. 41, that the next page, i. e. f. 20 of the MS. is missing: the following notes of its contents, however, occur among the extracts made from the MS. by Peter Le Neve, Norroy King of Arms, early in the last century, and which are now preserved in the Lansdowne MS. 737. It will at once be seen that Le Neve has not copied the MS. literally; and there is cause to believe, either that he has omitted a few items, or that there was a mistake in the calculation of the person to whom these Accounts were entrusted. The latter conjecture is the more probable of the two, for Le Neve seems only to have copied the most striking entries. F. 20 of the MS. and page 42* of this volume.
