Footnotes:

{14} This is confounded with the Round Tower.
{15} It is not clear what the author means by hypocaustis; I have translated it bathing-rooms; it might mean only chambers with stoves.
{16} The original is optici; it is impossible to guess what colour he meant.
{17} Here are several mistakes.
{18} This is another most inaccurate account: the murderers of Becket were Tracy, Morville, Britton, and Fitzurse.
{19} Queen Mary.
{20} Viz., Popish.
