It is difficult to read but appears to state that Humphrey Good appeared and presented to the President and Chapter letters patent of the King for the election of the future Bishop, to which dignitaries and prebendaries were to be cited to appear in the Chapter House between the hours of 8 and 11. In the presence of William Colet public notary.

[?]These were examined by William Colet public notary and [witnesses]. Then they elected Dr Barnston, Dr Seward, Mr Thornborough and Dr Curle for the [?presentation] of the election.
