Numbering	ff. s. 14 ex. & 15 in. The foliation in Roman numerals which begins on q.2 1 (the Calendar not being foliated) ands q.4 1r (f.'xvij'), after which the Arabic notation continues to the end (f.'128'). This was done before q.4 9,10 and q.5 1 were cut out, as q.5 2 is numbered '11'. q.13 2 is numbered '93', and q.13 3 is numbered '95' in error.
