Law commonplace book, c 1590
Scope and Contents
Upon leaves left unoccupied by the legal subjects, a later possessor of the book has written: 'Jewel's repli unto M. Harding's answeare', being extracts from Whitaker's Latin translation; short passages on religious and moral subjects, from St Augustine and others; and a table of contents of a system of divinity, extending over 11 leaves. In another handwriting in the middle of the book is 'The true opinion of divines concerning man's beginninge', 'The faulse opinion of the heathens concerninge man's beginninge'; and 'Of the situacion and particion of the earth'; the third part breaks off abruptly.
