page 103 note † See the following page.
page 105 note * This is very incorrectly entered in the original MS.
page 106 note * The words in italics are crossed out in the MS., and those written above are intended to be substituted for them. The " othe" was altered a second time for William and Mary. Another copy occurs on f. 54, written in the reign of Queen Anne. This was again altered to serve for the House of Hanover, the clause “his heirs and successors ” being bracketed as if for omission. It has not been thought necessary to insert the second copy, as it differs only in the orthography.
page 107 note * The words in italics are crossed out in the MS., as in the previous entry. Another copy of the document is given on f. 30 (temp. Caroli I.), but it was not thought necessary to include it here, as the words are the same. A third copy of the “othe,” written on the accession of the House of Hanover, occurs on f. 55. The clause “his heirs and successors” is crossed out whenever it occurs in this latter copy.
page 109 note * This form of oath is entered again, on f. 28b, as the “othe of Thomas Myller geven the 21st of Aprill, 1606.” It was not thought necessary to repeat it, as it differs only in orthography.
