7	In Jan. 1563–4, a form of prayer and thanksgiving for delivery from the plague was issued by authority (vide State Papers Dom: xxxiii, No. 9).

10	Giliana Meretrix (R.)
11	Mr. Tho. Wells, Clericus Vicarius Eccl. St. Martini (R.), vide n. 4, p. 178. The Register, no doubt, gives a purely honorary distinction to one who had been vicar. Best is declared by Newcourt (Repertor. Londin.) to have been reinstated in 1558–Mr. Hennessy has edited this statement out of his edition of Newcourt—but there seems little doubt that it was, at any rate, approximately correct. If Wells had been vicar when he died, the Churchwardens' Accounts would almost certainly have described him otherwise than simply as "preste." But it is possible that Wells conformed and kept his place; at any rate his name is not in the list of ejected ministers given by Nicholas Sanders in "De Visib. Monarch. Eccles."

22	Not in the Register.
23	Ceiling or other plaster work (cf. pp. 81, 193, 247).
24	Stuff.
25	Aisle "newe" qy. for "near."
26	Wedding, i.e. where the first portion of the marriage service was performed—the name, although new to these accounts, was probably a survival of pre-Reformation days, vide Ludlow Churchwardens' Accounts, p. 97 (Camden Soc.)
27	i.e. Readjusting the weight, cf. poise, or perhaps "piecing" i.e. patching. The tone and durability of a bell are largely dependent on the correct proportion between the size of the bell and its clapper, cf. n. 2, p. 320.
28	qy. for heft, i.e. haft.
29	mended.
