Folios 325r–339v contain documents concerning property from Sir Martin Bowes’s donation.

The same hand continues, that of Ralph Robinson, clerk of the company (see f. 400v, where he signs himself). A long heading has been written above the start of the text, but the first line (at least) of this has been cropped off at some stage, no doubt by a binder. The heading is in English but the next few documents are in Latin.

Whiche land and annuall rente Sir Martine Bowes knight gave to this companie in anno domini 1557 for the perfourmance of certein godly intentes forever, as in the same evidences playnely dothe appeare.
