The volume also contains a copy of 'Against the opinions of the Germans' by Henry VIII. The manuscript dates to the sixteenth century.

- Note
- Ad initium annotavit Parkerus, collecta per Cuthbertum Dunelmensem et recognita per Henricum R. 8. Et ad finem, Hi quaterniones de utraque specie, de missa privata, de conjugio sacerdotum servate erant in cistis Cutberti Dunelmensis morientis in aedibus Lambethi Matthaei Cantuariensis, et mihi Matthaeo date per executores praedicti Cutberti. Ad pag. 13, occurrit brevis quaedam sententia propria manu regis scripta, et ad finem altera ab ipso Cuthberto, ut annotavit Parkerus. Anno 1536, venerunt in Angliam legati a principibus Germanicis, qui per duos menses cum theologis quibusdam Anglicanis a rege designatis de nonnullis religionis articulis disputarunt; imprimis questi sunt legati de quibusdam abusibus adhuc toleratis, qui fundamentum tyrannidis pontificiae sustentare videbantur, praesertim de tribus articulis supra memoratis. Rex eis in hoc scripto respondet, et ea verae religionis Christi esse dogmata probare conatur
