ArrangementThe individual oaths were numbered and some, perhaps all, assembled into bundles in the 19th century. Surviving bundles are now numbered Q/JP/3/1-16. Those found loose now constitute bundles numbered Q/JP/3/17-20. Numbers in brackets are old numbers found on the individual oaths, sometimes followed by box numbers found on the bundles.
