This is recognisably John Clerke's writing. You will see it again (probably) in the section on Sixteenth-Century Secretary.

hic caret de novo facta . /

...................................Alas that I was borne
....................................dixit prima anima mala et secunda [ija]
...................................Ù \anima mala/ de nouo facta

Translation :

Here something [plural] newly made is missing.

...................................Alas that I was born
...................................Said the First Bad Soul and the Second
...................................Bad Soul ..........newly made
