'AN ANSWER to the articles of the commoners of Devonsheir and Cornewall (sc. in the Catholic rising of 1549) declaring to the same howe they haue ben seduced by evell persons, and howe their conscyences may be satysfyed and stayed, consernyng the sayd artycles, sette forth by a countryman of theirs muche tenderyng the welth bothe of their bodyes and solles'; entitled in a later hand on the old cover (f. 26) 'Udall's ansuer to the Devon men' and printed by N. Pocock, Troubles connected with the Prayer Book of 1549, Camden Soc. 1884, p. 141, as by Nicholas Udall al. Uvedale, Head Master of Eton College 1534-1541, and of Westminster School 1554-1556 (cf. 18 A. LXIV), but the identification does not seem certain, as there were several Udalls in the King's service, including John Udall, Treasurer for the North (see Cal. State Papers, Domestic). Nicholas Udall is said to have been a Hampshire man, but many of the family came from Dorset.

The old vellum cover (ff. 1, 2,)consists of two leaves (13th cent.) containing Zechariah x. 6-xiii. 9, with marginal and interlinear gloss.
