1591 Charge Book

Given below is one page from the 1591 Charge Book. My transcription of this appears below. This is a literal transcription save that numbers in roman numerals have been replaced by their modern equivalents. For example the entry on the first line reads xxix^l 10^s 9^d ob which I have converted to 29l 10s 9 1/2d.
