Also a few added from a MS of Pedigrees in Cambridgeshire wrote in the hand of Mr Layer of Shepereth [Shepreth], and now in the possession of Sir John Hinde Cotton of Madingley, Baronet, who gave the said MS to me in 1763, but upon my comparing tit with this in Caius College, I found them to be the same, and only a few new ones, which I have here transcribed, & collate the whole, and corrected the one with the other.’
