"William Sanders: inscribed 'Will Sanders un just (?)' in a 16th-century legal hand and the outline of an armorial shield bearing a chevron (possibly part of the arms of Sander of Charlwood, Surrey) and a large figure '29' (f. 41)" "Owned, 12 Feb. 1651, according to his autograph chronograms, partly in Latin , at the foot of f. 39v, by the septuagenarian Charles Gedde of St. Andrews, whose triple chronogram in the right-hand margin of the first text page (f. 5) records its presentation 'Ipsis bis septenis Kalendis mensis Octobris' [i.e. 18 Sept.] 1656, to Thomas, 3rd Baron Fairfax."
