In ll. 1062, 1090 the speaker’s name is given as ‘_8. Atten._’ Whatever
this may be meant for it is clear that the speeches belong to the
Bishop of St. Andrews. In ll. 2015-6 a complicated error has occurred,
the ‘e’ of ‘her’ in the lower line having worked its way up into an
accidental space after the ‘d’ of ‘and’ in the upper.
