    On f. 8v a Note by Thomas Baker applying to the Liber privilegiorum, known as Hare's book, in the Registry: Hic liber continet Collectiones Tho. Markaunt Antiquarii peritissimi et inter nostros primi. Hunc librum per incuriam et custodum negligentiam longo spatio amissum, et in partibus longinquis existentem, fecit Mag. Robertus Hare ad Universitatem Cantebrigiensem restitui a.d. 1594. Hic Liber bis amissus erat et toties restitutus ac juxta Fullerum tertio amissus nulla aut spe levi restitutionis. Ego tamen rimando archiva nostra feliciter inveni, nec tam amissum puto quam turpiter neglectum aut nomine carentem minus observatum. Tho. Baker Coll. Jo. Soc.
