Additional Comments:
The MS was sealed using the ‘Tuck, Fold, and Seal’ method. The paper was also folded to create a left-hand margin on both the recto and verso sides. There are remnants of a wax seal on f.200v and the seal has caused some damage to the same folio. There are two pairs of pin holes at the bottom of the MS, and a small ink blot at the centre of f.200v. Some of the ink from f.199v has transferred onto f.200r.

A second hand has added a bibliographical reference to the upper left-hand corner of f.199r. The same hand has also added marginal notes throughout expanding on, or identifying, matters mentioned in the text. These notes are linked to the main text through the use of corresponding symbols. Several words and phrases have been underlined throughout.
