On the back of f. 26 is a memorandum that Jasper Cholmeley received this book of John Devyke, gent., late steward, by the hands of William Smithe, one of the Attorneys of Guyldhall, his deputy, by virtue of a warrant from the Rt. Hon. Sir Walter Myldmay, Kt., Chancellor of the Exchequer, to the said John Devyke dyrectyd, the 6th September 1577. The Manor of Clerkenwell was at that time retained in the possession of the Crown.
