Transcription
[fol. 209] Heralds Office ffebr 15 1721/2 S.r I return your book with many thanks, in p. 78 is the account of the ffeaver & Asthma, when of Sr John Hastolf dyed after 148 days illnesse at the age of 80 years. The year is omitted but his death certainly happened on St. Leonards day 1459. which if you please, you may add in the bottome of that page. In p. 115 is a verse in some Glasse window Virgo decus mundi. Hastolf miseriri Johanni. I do not in the least doubt but the greatest part of this MS was compiled by W.m of Wircestri or Bolaner, who lived with our Sr John as his Secretary, some say his Officer of Arms for several years, and our writers tell us this Worcestri was a great Physitian Astronomer and Antiquary. I am with the greatest respect Yr most Obedt humble Servt John Anstis
