Notes:

Editorial Note:  This is a medical judgment and treatment that do not apparently belong to either the CASE5033 immediately above it (for Joyce Bannister, who is asking about marrying someone) or to CASE5031 at the bottom of the left column (for Nicholas Cley). The astrological details of the judgment do not seem to fit the charts on the page, nor Nicholas Cley’s entry had it had a chart. A contemporary ephemeris suggests that there may have been no time that month that matches the details given.

Calendared text from MS Ashmole 219, f. 20v (bottom right part of page)
