'A BOOK for a Buck with a Parke, or for a good Bishopricke, or for a fatt Benefice at least; to the vse of the leanest Vicar in Great Britain, as seemeth'; addressed to James I by Christopher Windle, 'Lincolniensis Collegii olim artium magister' and 'minister Beesleiensis in dioc.

There are also included (f. 11 b), in English, 'Certein orders' for the conduct of the prisoners in Gloucester gaol, made by their own consent. f. 4.
3. Verses on the return of the King from Scotland, 1618. Latin. f. 13.

Franciae et Hiberniae rex princeps et monarcha serenissimus potentissimus edoctissimus maxime pius inclytissimus', and (b) 'Regii nominis , acrostic on 'Iacobus Rex Angliae. C. W.' f. 14.

10. 'In psalmum XVI C. Windlei carmen choriambicum'. This is now placed at the beginning of the volume (f. 1), but seems to be out of place. At the end is the note 'Mag. Georgium Buchananum carminis genere, stylo tamen et oratione non hic imitamur'. Paper; ff. 55. Quarto. 8 in. x 6 in. A.D. 1618.
