^{page 417 note a} A body swathed in cere-cloth, of exactly the same character as the present, but wrapped in lead, was found at Bury St. Edmund's in 1772. It was suggested to be that of Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter, who died in 1426.—See Philos. Trans, vol. Ixii. p. 465.

^{page 427 note a} We allude especially to a broad-ended open pair of shears, and a shield crowned, bearing three fleurs-delys, with a cross pendant from the shield. Both these are among the paper-marks of the Paston Letters.

^{page 429 note a} In Gent. Mag. vol. lxxxi., pt. 2, p. 625, is a letter from Mr. Holmes, of East Retford, in which he gives an account of a MS. addition to a copy of Lyndewode's Provinciale, Paris, 1555 [probably a mistake for 1505], printed at the charges of W. Bretton, an honest merchant of London. This addition is entitled “Verba Willielmi Lindewode ad Clerum.” It is a poem of sixty-four lines of advice addressed to the clergy. The following is a specimen :—

Oribus tenemini vestris predicare,

Sed quid, quibus, qualiter, ubi, quando, quare,

Debitis sollicite præconsiderare,

Nequis in officio dicat vos errare.
