(2) "Here are written divers notes phrases words & sentences collected out of severall bokes. 15 Novembr 1586. A[nn]o Reg.ie Eliz. 28." This is actually a seventeen-page selection from the "A Touchstone for the Time" section of George Whetstone's A Mirrour for Magistrates.... (London, 1584). It is preceded by a two-line entry quoting Mary Queen of Scots as saying at Fotheringay, "I come not as a criminal."

Eight pages of various entries in English from Boorde's work, including descriptions of and remedies for "scurffe," greensickness, "sikness of the prisones, "chappe," and nosebleed.
