Cipher was already in routine use in the first years of the reign of Henry VIII. I now added one used by Cuthbert Tunstall in 1517 in "Earliest English Diplomatic Ciphers". It is used in the context of "the new treatie of Cambray". (In the treaty of Cambray signed on 11 March 1517, Francis I, Henry VIII, and the Emperor agreed on a crusade against the Turks (Sanderson Beck).)
I also added several specimens from 1526-1529 (Edward Lee, Bishop of Worcester, Francis Poynts, Sylvester Darius, Serno Gilino) in "Ciphers during the Reign of Henry VIII".
