Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Mm.01.29

Scope and Contents

This contains (1) notes of Visitations and other events from 1548 to 1600; (2) the Gospel of Nicodemus in English; (3) notes concerning Puritan controversies; (4) Collections from Tindal, Barnes, etc. Prefixed is a pretended table of contents by Wanley, which gives a far higher estimate of the book than it deserves. Inserted (ff. 38, 39) is a letter signed Edm. London [i. e. Bp. Grindal] with the date Jan. 10, 1567, against unlicensed preachers. Earl or Early, as he is called in Newcourt's Repertorium, held the Rectory of S. Mildred, Bread Street, from 1564 to 1604. Transcribed in Mm.01.37 no. 20.
