Bede vpon þe profetis of Sibille.
This Reference is to some spurious Work attributed to Bede, and which is probably not the same as the Tract De Sybillis[72], published among Bede’s Works, and also by Joh.

Goddis Chirche is foundid in kynrade of prelatis.
This Expression is illustrated by the Preamble of the Statute of Provisors, (25 Edw. III.)[73]: “Whereas late in the Parliament of good Memory of Edward King of England, Grandfather to our Lord the King that now is, the xxv. [leg. xxxv.] Year of his Reign, holden at Carlisle, the Petition heard, put before the said Grandfather and his Council, in his said Parliament, by the Communalty of the said Realm, containing: That whereas the Holy Church of England was founden in the Estate of Prelacy, within the Realm of England, &c.”[74]
