* It seems not improbable that this was the book "Of the duties of the inhabitants of

which is not known to have been issued in a printed form at that time. There is also

mentioned in the same list "a comedy called Ite in vineam," of which Anthony à

Wood says (it does not appear from what source,) that it was " usually acted in the great

church of Calais after vespers." This has not been seen by any recent author.
