Cypress seems to have been held in much esteem for boxes from an early period. We find that John of Gaunt, in 1397, speaks of "a little box of Cypress wood," in his will. The following extract from "an account of Church Plate Money, Gold, and Silver Images," &c. delivered to Henry the Eighth, printed in "Memoirs of the Antiquities of Great Britain, relating to the Reformation," from the original, in the Bodleian Library, is a curious illustration of "Coffers."--"Paid, William Grene, the King's Coffer Maker for makyng of a coffer, covered with fustyan of Naples and beinge full of drawe boxes lyned with red and grene sarcynet to put in stones of diverse sorts vj _li._ xviij _s._ j_d._ And to Cornelys the lock smythe for making all the Iron worke, that is to saye the lock, gymowes, handels, ryngs to every drawe boxe, the price xxxvj_s._ iv _d._ Sum total, vij _li._ xiv _s._ v _d._" Coffyn Master, 193.

Constans Robert, 129. Conyers Lord, 12. Christopher Lord Conyers, who succeeded his father in that dignity, in 1529, and died in 1538. Coo Christopher, 170. Cook, to Sir Anthony Browne's, 148. The payment of 20_s._ in reward to Sir Anthony Brown's cook, must be considered to have arisen from his having on some occasion peculiarly gratified the king's palate. Copartners. See Partners. Copeland, of London, a mercer, 9, 18. Cords, for, 159. Cordener (Cordwainer), to the, 109, 126, 153, 179, 183, 197, 219. Cornbury Park, to the keeper of, 246.

Though the word appears to be so written, and is therefore thus printed, there can be little doubt from the context and from other entries, that it was meant to be "oots," oats. Cotton, 51. ---- George, 118, 134, 137. Cottons, to the three, for sets lost to them at Greenwich, 143, _bis_. It does not appear in what rank of life either George or the two other Cottons were, but all these entries relate to money won by them of the king at shooting. ----, paid for several yards of, 70, 159. ----, for lining the king's boat, 182. See Boat. ----, paid for to truss plate, 190. Cow, paid for one killed, by greyhounds, 74. The value of a cow, in 1530, seems to have been ten shillings. Cowley, 207. Cowpar, a falconer, 162.
