[260] The details of the expenses incurred by Goodrick and Scudamore in the journey from London to Burton and back are most interesting, showing as they do the cost of meals, etc., at the various places where they stayed. It may be compared with the “book of accounts” of Lenthall, auditor of the attainted lands, in his journey from London to the North in 1541. (_Letters and Papers_, xvi, 1490.) [261] One of Cromwell’s men was named Thomas Palmer (cf. _Letters and Papers_, xiv, Pt. I, 1039, 1060). [262] Brickhill is near Fenny-Stratford. [263] _i.e._, Daventry. [264] [lined through in original.] [265] [lined through in original.] [266] John Williams had been one of Cromwell’s agents so long ago as 1536 at least. In that year he had been deputed with Sir John Clark (Commissioner of the Peace in Oxfordshire) and George Gifford to investigate a complaint which had been lodged against Sir John Browne that his mill “doth annoye the Kinges other Subgiettes ... in the surunding and overflowing of their groundes.” (_Letters and Papers_, xi, 446; cf. 227, 353, 888.) He had also been one of the Commissioners of the Dissolution, and had visited Bury St. Edmund’s, Ely, Winchester, Hyde, Eynsham, and Notley (Bucks.). (Cf. Wright’s _Letters_, pp. 145, 147, 220, 233, 235.) [267] This was a common name for the Bible down to the fourteenth century. [268] Four homilies on the text, “missus est angelus” (St. Luke i, 26), composed by St. Bernard about the year 1120 (cf. Morison, p. 49). [269] A treatise on the Ten Commandments. [270] Probably ascribed wrongly to St. Augustine instead of to St. Ambrose. [271] _Epistola Augustini ad Iulianum comitem._ [272] Hugh of St. Victor, near Paris (A.D. 1097–1141). His works include _In Ecclesiasten homiliae_, _de Institutione Novitiorum_, and _Mystica archae Noe descriptio_. See also Note 19 _infra_. [273] See last note. [274] _Expositio in beatum Job, seu Moralium libri xxxv_, by Pope Gregory the Great. [275] _Dialogorum libri iv de vita et miraculis patrum_, by the above. [276] _Scintillarum seu sententiarum catholicorum Patrum_, a collection of extracts from the Fathers, by Defensor, a monk of Ligugé, near Poitiers, who lived about 800 A.D. [277] _Liber Regulae Pastoralis_, by Pope Gregory. [278] _Libri duo in Evangelia_, viz., 40 Homilies on the Gospels for the day, by the above. [279] _Beati immaculati_, _i.e._, Ps. cxix. [280] See Note 6 _supra_. [281] The work of Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) with this title can have been hardly yet written when the list was drawn up. The “book” is therefore more probably _Paradisus Heraclidis_, the oldest Latin version of the _Lausiac History_ of Palladius. [282] There was a Robert, Abbot of Burton from 1150 to 1159, when he was deposed. In 1175 he was re-elected, and died in 1177.
