of a pair of shoes for the scribe's brother, for which he paid the shoemaker at
Bristol. The second item is an amount given to someone at the church at
Babcary to pay Hugh Younge. These accounts were perhaps added after the main
list of accounts on fols 6r-7v. Fol. 4v rev. contains mathematical
calculations relating to money. Fol. 5 is badly torn and still joined along

accounts on fol. 6r instead. Fol. 5r is blank. A few letters are visible on
fol. 5v (""is"", ""t"" and ""t""). Fols 6r-7v contain a list of
accounts relating mostly to funeral arrangements. The heading, in which not
all of the words are clear, on fol. 6r is ""A note wt I haue Lane forth since
