t Standing alone on another page of the MS. is the following entry : "Thys is

goodis catallis and ornamentis of the Church of Saynt Dunstones, made in the
Feast of Saynt Nycholas in the xxiij yere of the reyng of Kyng Herry the

three years, that is from Nov. 1528 to Nov. 1531. If this surmise is correct the
Accounts for their last year were not entered, or are lost.

t The regnal years of Henry VIII. began on the 22nd of April and ended
on the 21st of April; consequently April 19th, 25 Hen. VIII., corresponds with
April 19, 1534.

these items belong to about the date here given.
