Alfred's will is at fo. 33v. Though not so stated, occasional scribal errors suggest that this is a transcript of the 'Parker' edition, printed London, 1574, but with the Old English letterforms normalised. fos 38, ii-lxvi: blank. fo. 1: signature 'Arundel', presumably Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel (1585-1646, restored to title 1604).
