A volume, [c. 1631]-[c. 1637], containing an account of the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh (pp. 1-29) and transcripts of related letters from Raleigh (pp. 31-44), together with various political tracts (pp. 45-113) and historical tracts (pp. 119-242). Written by five unidentified hands: hand I (pp. 1-49), hand II (pp. 53-68), hand III (pp. 73-205), hand IV (pp. 217-229) and hand V (pp. 241-242). There are also marginal notes, perhaps by hand V (see also Brogyntyn MS II.14).
A Latin version, by an unidentified translator, of a Greek treatise by Barlaamus, theologian and bishop of Gerace, Calabria, against papal primacy: 'Doctissimi Barlaami Tractatus de Primatu Papæ e Græco exemplari in Latinum conuersus, sic vt vtriusque libri singule pagine mutuo respondeant' (First line, 'Est hoc positum ab artium scientiarumque peritis, humanissime Francisco ...'; last line, '... vt tibi cum qva decet animi moderatione patienter auscultabo') (ff. 1-22 verso). The translation is independent of that in the bilingual edition of John Lloyd, Του σοφωτατου Βαρλααμ λογοσ περι τησ του παπα αρχησ. Barlaami de Papæ principiatu libellus nunc primum græcé & latiné editus (Oxford, 1592, ESTC S112537).
