General noteRefers to the Star Chamber decree (23 June 1586) as "aboue 17. yeares past" and ineffective and is probably related to "an Act for the good of the Company" which R. Field and others were appointed to pursue on 27 March 1604; see Court Book C, p. 6. The "Honors" addressed may have been the Coporation of London. Cf. STC addenda.
