There are no entries between 27 August 1564 and 27 January 1565-6. Copy of Book 2, on whose accuracy aspersions are cast by the copyist; as it had long lain in private custody, the handwriting varied, and the dates were confused. The entries commence 27 January 1565 and comprise Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, down to 12 June 1578. From this date until 31 March 1581 there are no entries.
