    Repository: BL
    Shelfmark: Additional MS 11,402
    Repository location: London

    The original privy council registers for 1601/2–13 were destroyed by fire in 1618. These abstract entries, among many others from 1550 to 1610, were copied into a volume owned by Gilbert Burnet (1643–1715), bishop of Salisbury, 1689–1702. John Chamberlain's letters in the fall of 1605 corroborate the return of significant plague deaths in the city; see Leeds Barroll, Politics, Plague, and Shakespeare's Theater (Ithaca and London, 1991), 131–2.
