Note 242.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iii. 386.] This letter was clearly written after the battle of Northampton in 1460, by which the state of parties at the Parliament of Coventry in 1459 was exactly reversed.
With regard to this and other letters of Dr. Brackley, the original editor, Sir John Fenn, has expressed a misgiving that he may in some instances have misread the contractions used in the Latin words. This was certainly the case in the present letter, in which misreadings have been corrected, and some passages supplied from the MS.
242.3 Held in December 1459.
243.1 Paul’s Cross.
243.2 In 1447.
244.1 2 Tim. ii. 3.
244.2 Psalm xxx. (xxxi.) 24.
244.3 Eccles. ii. 11, 12 (v. 10 of our English version).
