Note 147 — INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
Reading edition
The cause of this sum being so disproportionate to either of the others may be explained by there being included in it 2000l. lent to the Cofferer of the Household until Michaelmas next following; 2000l. placed in the hands of Thomas Alvard "to be by him safely kept for his Graces's use and behoof;" hence 4000l. of it cannot be considered to have been spent, a remark which also applies to a few other entries; and 2000l. for the King's buildings at Westminster.
