1 This reference to a bill at the end of the Compotus is a mistake, prohably of 

 the scribe employed by Th. Singleton ; it belongs to the preceding entry. 



- Severus, {Godwin De Prasul.) His name is written in various ways. He was 

 Abbot of St. Mary's from 1464 to 1502. In 1496 he was elected Bishop of Carlisle, 

 and by a special Indulgence from the Pope held his Abbey in commendam. He waa 

 at the same time made "Warden of Merton College, Oxford, and Provost of Eton ; but 

 being chosen Bishop of Durham in 1502 he vacated his Abbacy and went to 

 Dui-ham. He held that See about 2 years, dying in the year 1505. Gent says 

 he was biu-ied in the Abbey over which he had presided, 



3 This no doubt was "Wm. Lambert, Clerk, Master of the College of Glayndorp, 

 and Vicar of the Parish Church of Gayneford in the Bishopric of Durham, who 

 made his will May 28th, 1480, and directed his body to be buried within the Monas- 

 tery of St. Mary, York, before the altar of St. Nicholas, and against the tomb of 

 "Wm. Staveley, late fellow monk there. His will was proved Nov. 23, 1485. 

 Torre, Eegist.-Test. Arch. Tho. Mother Jiam, 253. 



* Vincent Ferrier, a Dominican Friar, bom at Valencia in Spain, in 1357. At 

 the desire of Hen. VI. he preached as a Missionary in the chief towns of England, 

 Scotland, and Ireland. He died in 1419, and was canonized in 1455 ; but the Bull 

 was not published tiU 1458, seventy years before the writing of this Compotus. 

 Ho is therefore said to be ^ nuper inceptm.' Three other Vincents appear in the 

 Ealendar of Saints.
