I. _Council of Woodstock._ Thorpe takes his text from Cott. Titus, A. 27. The MS. is of the thirteenth century, and contains perhaps the best text extant of the old Latin version of the Saxon laws. Wilkins has it among his “Saxon Laws,” but omits it in his “Concilia.” Bromton also has it. II. _The Treaty with the Norwegian Kings_, viz., Anlaf, Justin, and Guthmund. Thorpe prints his text from the above MS. Bromton has it Wilkins has it in his “Laws,” but not in his “Concilia.” III. _The Council at Wantage_ (A.D. 997). Thorpe prints it from the above. Bromton has it. Wilkins has it in his “Laws.” IV. _De Institutis Londoniæ_ (prob. A.D. 997). Thorpe prints it from the above, and remarks that it was a most important law as regards the commercial and monetary history of England. V. _Liber Constitutionum_ (A.D. 1008). Thorpe prints it from Cott. Nero, A. 1. Wilkins has it in his “Laws,” but not in his “Concilia.” Lord Selborne confounds this with the Ordinances passed at Habam. VI. _Council of Enham_ (probably “Ensham in Oxfordshire”). Thorpe prints it from a MS. in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 201, which was written apparently in the middle of the eleventh century, and which he collated with Cott. Claud., A. 3. Wilkins has it in his “Laws” and also in his “Concilia.” Spelman dates the council A.D. 1009. VII. _Grith and Mund._ Thorpe prints it from Cott. Nero, A. 1, collated with MS. C.C. 201 (Nasmith). “These manuscripts,” says Mr. Thorpe, “closely agree together.” Wilkins has it in his “Laws,” but not in his “Concilia.” VIII. _The Ordinances of Habam_ (A.D. 1012). Bromton alone gives the text, from which Thorpe copied his text and collated it with the Macro and Holkham manuscripts. Wilkins has printed it in his “Concilia” (i. 295), but not in his “Laws”; Spelman has it (“Concilia,” i. 530). IX. _Church Grith_ (A.D. 1014). Thorpe prints it from Cott. Nero, A. 1. collated with C.C. 201. He does not state that these manuscripts closely agree together, as he does the two collated in VII. Wilkins has it in his “Laws,” but not in his “Concilia.” N.B.—VI. VIII. and IX. only are in the volume Nero, A. 1. Bromton has only I. II. III. VIII. IX. _Church Grith._ Mr. Thorpe takes his text from the so-called Worcester volume of the Cottonian manuscript, Nero, A. 1, fol. 96 _b_. It begins thus:— “This is one of the Ordinances which the king of the English composed with the counsel of his Witan, etc.” Art. 6. “And respecting tithe, the king and his Witan have chosen and decreed, as is just, that one-third part of the tithe which belongs to the Church, go to the reparation of the Church, and a second part to the servants of God, the third to God’s poor and to needy ones in thraldom.” Art. 7. “And be it known to every Christian man, that he pay to his Lord his tithe justly, always as the plough traverses the tenth field, on peril of God’s mercy, and of the full ‘wite,’ which King Edgar decreed, that is”:—
