'This booke contayneth a generall collection of all the Offices of England with the fees and allowances belonging vnto them in the kinges gyft...', including:
- The state and court officers, the king's 'towns of war', castles, parks, etc., bishoprics and deaneries, etc., about 1605-6
- Some general lists follow at fol. 42v, the descent of qu. Elizabeth, the number of parish churches in each county, pensions and fees lapsed or granted Mich. 1613-Mich. 1614 (including Casaubon's death and the continuation of his pension to the widow and son) and the king's debts in 1616, the last two added to the volume
- The cover (foll. 1, 48) is from a Berkeley castle index of manors and parishes, which suggests that the whole volume belonged to John Smyth of Nibley
