[1306] Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, i. 480: Johannes Falcandus of Lucca is said by Clement Reyner (Apostol. Bened. in Anglia) to have been the first apothecary in England, A.D. 1357.

[1307] The words in square brackets are scored out.

[1308] Wood's _Hist. et Antiq. Univ. Oxon._ (1674).

[1311] i.e. crotalum.

[1312] Dupl. with 'orloge.'

[1313] i.e. in one of the lives written by Aubrey. The reference is to the quotation given _supra_ from MS. Aubr. 6.

[1314] The same matter is found in MS. Ballard 14, fol. 126, in a letter from Aubrey to Anthony Wood, dated Feb. 17, 1679/80.

[1315] Subst. for 'Parliament-house.'

[1316] See Clark's Wood's _City of Oxford_, i. 175; Doble's Hearne's _Collections_, iii. 215; Madan's _Early Oxford Press_.

[1318] Subst. for 'the cathedrall church.'

[1319] Some of the older sets of college rooms in Oxford still show the difference of rooms referred to here and several times in the _Lives_. There was a large room, the 'chamber' or living and sleeping room, with two or more beds; off this, there were two or more tiny rooms, the 'studies,' in which the students did their work by day, boxed up close in winter for warmth. See T. G. Jackson's _Wadham College_, p. 133.

[1320] Heraldic memorials of the events of our Saviour's passion.

[1321] The slip is perhaps of date Dec. 1681, or a little later: cp. Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, ii. 558, iii. 3. The index to the MS. is dated July 1, 1681 (MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 5).

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

[1323] See i. 65. These notes by Aubrey's brother perhaps account for the loan of the volume to him, which has caused its loss.

[1324] i.e. MS. Aubr. 3.

[1325] Henrietta Maria, consort of Charles I, came to England 1625.

[1326] Alathea (died 1654), daughter of Gilbert Talbot, 7th earl of Shrewsbury, married in 1606 Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel.

[1327] Henry Howard, 6th duke, obiit Jan. 11, 1683/4.

[1328] Aubrey has a reference 'vide page 16 b,' i.e. MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 28ᵛ, as given _infra_. See also _supra_, p. 181.

[1329] i.e. the duty levied on it.

[1330] _Supra_, p. 91.

[1331] See Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, iii. 31, 310.

[1332] i.e. a note for Aubrey's 'Observations on Ovid's _Fasti_' (see i. 44), a Lansdowne MS., since printed.

[1333] 'Apicati cincta.'

[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.

[1335] In North Wilts.

[1336] i.e., perhaps, Mr. Lancelot Morehouse ascribed witchcraft to demoniacal possession.

[1337] Alt. to 'in the young men.'

[1339] Henry, 5th earl, 1st marquess.

[1340] Edward, 4th earl.

[1341] Edward, 2nd marquess of Worcester; his son Henry was created duke of Beaufort, Dec. 2, 1682.

[1342] i.e. 90 years before 1670, the date of this note.

[1343] North Wilts.

[1344] Aubrey no doubt cites text and note from Thomas Farnaby's edition.

[1345] Ad quem in terrâ defixum foeminae se exercent tanquam tyrones ut simulata pugna, feriendi, insiliendi, recedendi veram disciplinam ediscant (Vegetius.)

[1346] See facsimile at end of this volume.

[1347] The heavy wooden roller with which the ground is rolled after sowing, or when the corn sprouts in April and May.

[1348] _Sic_ in MS.

[1349] For a similar birth at Middleton-Stony, Oxfordshire, in 1552, see Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, iv. 64.

[1350] i.e. except the first and second stones, they are more or less (plus, minus) about 4 feet high. The diagram gives Aubrey's measurement of the circle: p. = paces.

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

[1352] There is no indication of the person who saw the apparition. Anthony Wood (_Life and Times_, ii. 4) reports an apparition which appeared to Richard Lower in 1664.

[1353] Scil. of lying in that position.

[1354] See _supra_, i. p. 128.

[1355] The MS. from which this paragraph is taken was called by Aubrey _Faber Fortunae_, was written for his own private use (_supra_, i. p. 44), containing a number of projects by which he hoped to make money. This here is the fourth on the list.

[1356] Apparently the real name of the injured husband.

[1357] MS. Aubr. 21, pp. 8 sqq.

[1358] i.e. 'quatre fils d'Aymon' of the old romance.

[1359] Aubrey notes that this speech is 'an ἐκφώνησις.'

[1360] Dupl. with 'hilt.'

[1361] Dupl. with 'beare.'

[1362] Dupl. with 'cup of reconciliation.'

[1363] Aubrey writes in the margin, 'Looke, looke then, boy!'; perhaps the first line or burden of an appropriate Bacchanalian song.

[1364] Subst. for 'the waytes.'

[1365] Dupl. with 'boding.'

[1366] Subst. for 'hornes.'

[1367] By a slip Aubrey, instead of writing _Sir Eubule_ here, writes T. T., i.e. the initials of Thomas Tyndale, whom he intended to copy in this character.

[1368] Dupl. with 'men.'

[1369] 'he' in MS., by a slip.

[1370] Subst. for 'flebile nescio quid.'

[1371] Dupl. with 'pleasant' or 'romancy.'

[1372] Dupl. with 'drencht.'

[1373] Dupl. with 'bloated.'

[1377] 'Richard,' in error.

[1378] Occurs as a woman's Christian name.

[1379] Afterwards 6th earl of Dorset.
