Printed in Early Statutes (Cambr. 1859) p. 2 l. 11 sq. before the code of 1530; it also appears in the code of 1524; ibid. p. 263; cf. the preface to the code of 1516, ibid. p. 351; and the instrument (ibid. p. 395) setting forth 15 that in July 1516 Fisher delivered that code to the college. P. 75 1. 12. Fisher ordered to repair to the general council. See Hymers, p. 186. Erasmus (Epist. p. 142), in March 151, speaking of his longings to revisit Rome, says: Ante biennium igitur adornaram iter, comes futurus R. Patri D. Joanni Episcopo Roffensi,...verum is ex itinere 20 subito revocatus est.' BAKER MS. P. 76 1. 4. In 1516 Fisher came to Cambridge to the opening of the college. 'Jo. Roffensis Erasmo (ibid. ed. nov. p. 1587. Dat. ex Roffa anno 1516): Paro enim me Cantabrigiam iturum pro Collegio nunc tandem instituendo.' BAKER MS. 25 P. 76 1. 10. For the words 'and everything chapel,' Baker writes in his Pref. xlvii: 'by consecrating Altars, Vestments, and other Ornaments, and administring other Ecclesiastical Offices pertaining thereunto'; and adds in a note (Hymers p. 41): 'The Chapel was not fully finished till towards this year; for the expenses of paving, glazing, and leading 30 the Chapel and the Master's Chambers, and building the Vestry, are placed to account about this year (Ex Archivis). The wainscot and stalls of the Chapel were not finished till the year 1516 at soonest. See the indenture betwixt Robt. Shorton Master and the Undertaker (MS. Baker XII. 44, 45)'. Bp. Fisher reserved for himself in the 35 statutes of 1516 (Early Statutes p. 355 1. 35) the use of the rooms built for the master; in those of 1524 (ibid. p. 273 1. 10 seq.) the upper rooms were reserved for him during his life, and after his death for the master; of the two lower the larger was to be assigned to pensioners or fellows; the smaller for a treasury. Similarly in the code of 1530 40 (ibid. p. 166 l. 11 sq.). In 1545 (ibid. p. 167 l. 17) the same rooms are assigned to the master. P. 77 1. 8. The master's oath. See Early Statutes p. 362 seq.; the fellows' oath ibid. p. 372 seq. ́P. 77 1. 17. An act attested by a public notary. Printed in Hymers, pp. 45 256-261. 5 ΙΟ P. 78 L 1.

Four codes, of 1516, 1524, 1530, and 1545, with the corrections of king Edward's visitors, were printed at Cambridge in 1859. 8vo. The volume dated 11 July 1530 Baker stated to be in very worthy hands, by which he meant, Mr Verdon, whome I here mention, least he should be forgot, since another has been named as donor of that valuable book, who yet held it only in trust (as I did for some time) from Mr Verdon.' BAKER MS. P. 80 l. 34. a fair copy of the statutes of 1516 after various turns is now in 30 my custody. It is a small thin vellum folio, bound in rough calf. On a paper fly leaf is the note: 'Librum hunc non ita pridem pene deperditum, et meâ operâ e Romanensium manibus redemptum, Lego Collegio D: Jo: Evang:, [sub hac tamen Conditione, ut infra tres Menses a morte meâ reponatur inter Archiva Collegii, una cum reliquis Statutis Original:, ac in eâdem Cistâ. 35 40 Quâ Conditione spretâ, aut non præstitâ, Lego Nobilis: Viro Edvardo Dño Harley, nullâ adhibitâ Cautione nisi in verbo Honoris, quâ fide datâ, securus morior].

A.D. 1517-8. P. 83 n. 3. Munimenta de Dunmows. 'If there should not be any munimenta de Dunmows in St John's college, I should guess it refers to papers of that estate, then lately purchased by Bp. Watson of St. 15 David's, with whom and his affairs Mr. Baker was very intimate; as may be seen by many of the latter's letters to his Lordship at Wilbraham, and copied by me from the originals into my 30th vol. p. 208 etc.' WM.
