antea mandaverat) Pandulphi Colenneii Apologos librum ipsa vel materiâ vel artificio valde spectabilem (habebat enim margaritis affabrè contextum tegmen) ex ipsius dono non sine illustri præfatione perhonorifice Principi commendavit. Ejus exemplo permotus Richardus Worsleius Armigeri e Vectanâ insulâ hæres filius, libellum exoticarum linguarum versibus eleganter exaratuin dono dedit, et Edvardus Chalonerus duo insignium Chirothecarum paria pro Universi Collegii voto, principali sublimitati obtulit. Cæteroque satellitum et ministrorum cœtui, ita elargitum est aliquid Collegium, ut benigne humaniterque se acceptos fuisse haud quisquam dissimularet dicere. Quod nisi temporis angustiis exclusi fuissent, non defuerunt, qui in utraque philosophia certamen et pugnam exhibuissent, qui rem scenicam et fabulas repræsentassent, denique qui spectacula etiam ad manum (quod dicitur) habebant, quæ si otium fuisset in gratiam Principis Optimi dedissent. Venerat jam dies ille Veneris ab adventu Principis quartus, in quo Jacobus (post homines natos doctiss. idem et clementissimus REX) quasi haud satis gloriæ aut decoris Collegio foret, ut princeps filius modò inviseret, præsens illustrare ipse non est gravatus. Duglassius Castellioneius e sodalibus unus, orator bonus, verbis et Collegii nomine Regem advenientem officiosissimè salutavit. Henricus Hawardus Comes Northamptonius, bonarum artium et literarum cultor, et admirator summus, cum reliquis magnatibus unà advenerat. Aream Col

legii et fabricam Rex undique circumspexit, bibliothecam diligenter perlustravit, Et hic (inquit) illi sunt (simul authores vetustate pene et senio confectos digito demonstravit) ex quibus contra hæreses et malè jactas in causâ religionis opiniones pugnare oportet. Dextro tum prehenso Regis brachio Northamptonius, illum per gradus in claustra deducebat, qui inter abeundum Magdalenenses et studiosos omnes clara voce sic compellavit, Bene valete, generosi. Expectet fortasse jam aliquis, ut quo animo hospitium hoc sibi totique Aulicorum suorum multitudini in Collegio præbitum princeps serenissimus exceperit, aut quid Rex postea dixerit, narrrare nunc incipiam; cæterum id prolixe satis loquuntur literæ a Dño Thomâ Chalonero post discessum ad Præsidem obligatæ, quarum ad intuendum perlegendumque exemplar fide optimâ hic subjeci.

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL NOTES

BY THE EDITOR.

Page 32, line 4, for 1442, read 1422.

62, line 8. The duke of York was great great grandson
to Lionel duke of Clarence, elder brother to the duke
of Lancaster, by his mother, Anne, daughter of Roger
earl of March, through whom he claimed the crown.
Though two lines higher in his paternal descent, the
claim through this channel could not have preceded that
of Henry.

90, note. I conceive 1462 in the MS. to be a mistake in
the date, and that it should probably stand as 1762.
105, line 16, for 7 Febry read 31 Decem 1460, the day on
which the battle of Wakefield was fought, according to
Stow and Rapin. Hume says 24th December.

122, line 12, Edward IV. was son to Richard, and great
grandson to Edmund duke of York.

131, line 13, for seven hundred and sixty-three, read seven hundred and twenty-three marks (.482.)

132, note, for Eckington, read Egginton of Handsworth near Birmingham. The restoration of this window has cost the society, or its members, about £. 1300.

181, line ult. It appears out of the author's recollection, that in page 134 he mentioned the Alien Priory of Sele as being granted to Waynflete. Or did he consider its being made denizen prior to the grant, as exempting it from being included in the number?

191, line 9. In page 171 it is stated, ten pounds was the salary allowed by Waynflete to the schoolmaster; which was the sum allotted him independent of any usher, to whom a stipend of five pounds was assigned.

215, line 3, for Ed- read Edward.

Page 227,

410

Page 227, lines 15 and 22, after college, and line 18, after removed,

add a comma.

232, line 11, after his, add a comma.
233, line 10, for requiem read requie.

252, line 5, for Wuley read Wulcy.

262, line 5, the secret. A prayer in the service of the mass,
so called from being delivered in a low tone of voice.
Whether prostration has in this place, other than the usual
meaning I am not aware. The morrow-mass, is that ce-
lebrated on the morning following the anniversary of the
obit.

291, line 11, for remains, and is, read remain, and are.
292, line 9, or the whole. Certainly not the whole, as 350

of these spur-royals were parted with by the society in
1787, which were all of the coinage of the fifteenth cen-
tury, either of Henry VI. or Edward IV.
397, Appendix, N° XXXI. should be marked with an E, as
inserted by the Editor. N° XXX. was amongst the papers
of the Author, and therefore printed, although not men-
tioned in his written catalogue. N° XXXIII. marked
in his list for insertion, was found missing, on looking over
the papers selected for the Appendix. This curious ex-
tract from the College Register was supplied by the kind-
ness of the President. Of No. XXVII. I would ob-
serve, that H. Wharton has not printed the epistle
entire, which is prefixed to L. W. Savona's work, in
the Library of Manuscripts at Lambeth Palace (see
p. 216). The epistle begins Omnium Theologorum, &c.
I have not seen the MS. but the Rev. H. J. Todd has
been kind enough to examine it, and informs me it is in
fine preservation throughout, and the arms of Waynflete
are neatly emblazoned in the first letter. It is numbered
in the collection 450.
