Chancery Decrees and Orders, vol. 1589 “ A,’ 610; also in 1589 
“B,” 507. Easter, 32 Elizabeth (1590). 
[While Dr. Carew was carrying out the order of February 17, 1588-9, 
in the case of Burbage v. Brayne, a cross-bill was filed by the widow and 
Myles, to which the Burbages filed a demurrer. Unfortunately, both bill 
and demurrer in this suit of Brayne v. Burbage are missing, but the 
Court’s orders are preserved. Both cases run parallel, and were taken 
together by the Court. Hence we have orders and depositions from this 
date on to the death of the widow in 1593, sometimes under the title of 
Burbage v. Brayne, sometimes under Brayne v. Burbage. ]
