[515] Subst. for 'In those dayes they did alwayes, before the inventorie of employments for trafique in merchandise, write in above thus:—'

[516] MS. Aubr. 6, fol. 39.

[517] A word is blotted out.

[518] Changed by Pell to 1610 from Aubrey's 1611.

[519] Subst. for 'you.'

[544] Wood notes: 'demonstrated the 10^th book of Euclid.'

[545] Wood scores out the word and substitutes 'demonstrated.'

[546] Wood adds: 'his Arithmetic, more than was done before by ..., a Frenchman.' This was perhaps a bit of information made orally to Wood, whose deafness prevented his catching the name. In the Fasti he says, 'a certain Frenchman.'

III, quaere.' He adds: 'vide lib. A' (his own Wiltshire collections): see Clark's Wood's Life and Times, iv. 192.
