[16] Probably Edmund Wyld.

[17] MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 27.

[18] These words are scored through.

[19] These words are scored out.

[20] Aubrey in MS. Wood F. 39, fol. 128: Nov. 17, 1670.

[21] Wood notes 'vide Dugdale's Orig. Jurid.'

[22] Aubrey in MS. Wood F. 39, fol. 160: Jan. 16, 1671/2.

[23] Dupl. with 'few yeares.'

[24] Aubrey in MS. Wood F. 39, fol. 160v.

[35] MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 20.

[36] MS. Aubr. 23, a slip at fol. 103v.

[37] The words in square brackets are scored out, being in error. The reference is to Thomas Jones, intruded Fellow of Univ. Coll. 1649, M.A. Feb. 20, 1650/1. He was not B.D.

[38] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 108.

[39] The note in square brackets is a later, marginal addition.

[40] i.e. step-father.

[41] Subst. for 'war.'

[42] Aubrey tricks it in the margin, 'argent, 3 water bougets gules.' In MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 5v, is the note:—'Ben Johnson is just opposite Robertus de Ros.'

[43] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 108v.

[44] Aubrey generally spells the name Johnson. Here the H is scored out, as also are the words in square brackets.

[45] MS. Aubr. 8, fol 15.

[46] MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 45v.

[47] This note comes after the note about W. Beeston (vol. i. p. 97), which ended 'Quaere etiam for Ben Jonson.' This note about Jonson's eyes may therefore come from that 'chronicle of the stage,' as reported to Aubrey by John Lacy.

[57] See sub nomine, Daniel Whistler.

[58] Subst. for 'gray.'

[59] '36' in MS., with 'quaere' in the margin; Aubrey having forgot the number.

[68] Subst. for 'happy.'

[69] i.e. sweet.

[70]? to jibe Aubrey in College for having 'a sweet tooth.'

[71] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 58.

[72] See sub nomine, William Radford.

[73] Aubrey always writes the word so, probably as a contraction for 'grandmother.'

[74] Subst. for 'this crowe.'

[75] i.e. he had a trick of using the expression 'now come we.'

[76] Scored out, Aubrey apparently doubting whether it was, or was not, the right foot.

[77] for 'co-founder.'

[78] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 58v.

[79] Subst. for 'bring this liquour.'

[80] Subst. for 'when a neighbour.'

[86] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 59.

[87] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 59v.

[1322] Dupl. with ''twas begun.'

[1334] I do not know what MS. of his Aubrey is here thinking of inserting Avebury in; possibly the lost 'Liber B.' MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 55v, is an envelope addressed 'for Dr. Blackburne with care,' and has the notes 'Templa Druidum,' 'or if Druidum Templa rediviva,' apparently suggested titles for a treatise by Aubrey. MS. Aubr. 11 is a treatise by Aubrey on Stonehenge.

[1351] i.e. measure exactly their height.
