^{page 75 note 3} In the Library of Magdalen College, Oxford, no. ccxxiii, is an illuminated book of Lections from the Gospels, which belonged to Cardinal Wolsey, whose arms impaled with those of the see of Winchester occur in places. This would indicate that it was prepared for him on his appointment to this see, and so it may have been used by the Cardinal at Esher. Mr. H. A. Wilson, the Librarian, tells me that the passage written inside the first cover, beginning ‘Ego T. W. legum doctor’, refers not to Wolsey at all, but probably to Thomas White, who was appointed to act as representative of Bishop John White in 1556.
