The ledger of -- Amcotts, wine and fish merchant of London
The ledger of -- Amcotts, wine and fish merchant of London, from June 26, 1557, to November, 1564. The name of 'Frauncys Bodley' occurs on fol. 76v, apparently on Nov. 24, 1564.
A large number of theological extracts and notes are copied out in an early 17th century hand on the vacant spaces of some pages, such as bp. G. Downame's treatise on the pope as antichrist (printed in 1603).
