The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 3 (of 6)

Note 231.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter appears by the contents to have been written about the beginning of the Parliament of 1460, to which it would seem Paston did not immediately repair to take his place, thus giving occasion to an insinuation that he did not wish to be called upon to vote money for the King and Queen.

231.2 See p. 213.

232.1 The word is ‘ft’ in the MS. And to make sense of the passage, I must suppose another word to be omitted. ‘Non fecit vos amicum magistri sui,’ i.e. he did not make you out to be any friend of his master.

232.2 William Yelverton.
