2. ff. 35–48. A very curious Note book of gifts and bequests made to the English Convent of Franciscans at Douay and to some other English Roman Catholic establishments on the Continent, 1630–1649. Each entry contains the date of the benefaction, the name of the donor [in cipher], the establishment to which it was given [also in cipher], the amount and the interest to be received from it [generally 8 per cent.], with a reference to some other book for the manner of its investment. In some instances a condition is attached that a certain number of masses [written in cipher] shall be said for the benefactor. The names of persons and establishments throughout are written in cipher, for which the Roman numerals are used. In the last entry the name of Mr John Jennings was inadvertently written in full and afterwards erased, but incompletely, and the cipher written above. This Jennings (al. Gennings) revived the order of the English Franciscans at Douay and became their first Superior about the year 1617; see Hon. E. Petre's Notices of Eng. Coll. and Conv. on the Continent (edited by F. C. Husenbeth, Norwich, 1849), p. 44. A key to the names of the benefactors is on a leaf in Dd.03.64, no. 69. See another paper on this subject in Ms Dd.13.31 no. 2.
