[1234] Dupl. with 'with,' i.e. with his uncle, as well as to his trade.

[1235] Dupl. with 'about.'

[1236] Dupl. with 'face.'

[1237] In MS. Aubr. 3, fol. 28, Aubrey says, 'He <T.H.> had an elder brother, named Edmund Hobbes, more then once alderman of Malmesbury': but this is probably an error, from confusing him with the uncle.

[1238] Dupl. with 'parts.'

[1239] i.e. William Aubrey.

[1240] Dupl. with 'boy'

[1241] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 32.

[1242] Dupl. with 'pourtraying.'

[1243] Other drawings of Malmsbury by Aubrey are in MS. Aubr. 3, fol. 35 and 39.

[1244] On this Anthony Wood comments:--'I think 'tis fit it should be drawne and represented, for the abbey sake. 'Tis cheap to have cut in box.'

[1245] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 32.

[1246] scil. of the 'neck of land.'

[1247] Dupl. with 'melted.'

[1248] Dupl. with 'adorned.'

[1249] Dupl. with 'and.'

[1250] Anthony Wood notes here 'as it was concerning Homer.'

[1251] Dupl. with 'as I say.'

[1252] Dupl. with 'enjoyed.'

[1253] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 33.

[1254] Dupl. with 'with.'

[1255] See _infra_, p. 388.

[1256] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 32ᵛ.

[1257] Quoted from Hobbes' metrical life of himself.

[1258] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 33.

[1259] Dupl. with 'proves.'

[1260] Aubrey notes opposite this sentence:--'This is good.'

[1261] Dupl. with 'and then.' Subst. for 'at eight yeares of age he could.'

[1262] Written at first 'Three Tunnes (quaere William Aubrey)': and then changed when W. A. answered the query.

[1263] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 34.

[1264] Dupl. with '25 +.'

[1265] Dupl. with 'the oven' <dupl. with 'pies'> 'had devoured them.'

[1266] Dupl. with 'the boyes.'

[1267] Dupl. with 'strings.'

[1268] Dupl. with 'draw through.'

[1269] Anthony Wood corrects to 'the stationers' shops.'

[1270] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 35.

[1271] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 34ᵛ.

[1272] This paragraph is an insertion by Anthony Wood in answer to Aubrey's query.

[1273] His name is not entered in the University matriculation-register.

[1274] Part of the formula of admission: Clark's _Reg. Univ. Oxon._ II. i. 48.

[1275] 1607/8; _ibid._ II. iii. 278.

[1278] Subst. for 'Mr. John Wilkinson.'

[1279] Dupl. with 'did believe.'

[1280] Dupl. with 'then.'

[1281] Dupl. with 'was.'

[1282] Dupl. with 'notions.'

[1283] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 36.

[1284] The chronology is here difficult. William Cavendish, second earl of Devonshire, died 20 June, 1628; and it is he whom Hobbes regarded as his 'first' lord (see his inscription, _infra_, p. 386), not his father William, first earl, who died 3 March, 1625/6. Bacon died 9 Apr. 1626.

[1285] Subst. for 'time.'

[1286] In the first attempt at this paragraph Aubrey wrote, 'T. H. came into his native country. I was then a little youth and went to schoole to Mr. Robert Latimer at Leigh-de-la-mere in the church about a mile from my father's house (Easton Pierse).'

[1287] In a second attempt it stood '... at Leigh-de-la-mere. I was then a little youth newly entred into my grammar by him, and we went to schoole in the church.'

[1288] Dupl. with 'came to.'

[1289] Dupl. with 'friends.'

[1290] Dupl. with 'equipage.'

[1292] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 35ᵛ.

[1293] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 36.

[1294] Anthony Wood writes here 'do not you mean 40?' Aubrey had written '4' by a pen-slip; afterwards he corrected it.

[1295] 'Element' used for 'proposition.'

[1296] Subst. for 'He would now and then use an emphaticall oath.'

[1297] Dupl. with 'curious witt.'

[1298] 'Began it early' is written over, in explanation.

[1299] Dupl. with 'to the witts.'

[1300] Dupl. with 'then doe well.'

[1323] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 39.

[1324] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 37ᵛ.

[1325] i.e. fol. 50ᵛ of the MS., where is a note by Anthony Wood, as given _infra_, p. 367.

[1326] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 39.

[1327] Subst. for 'which came out anno ...' Anthony Wood notes, 'Vide catalogue of <Hobbes's> books in _Hist. <et Antiq. Univ.> Oxon._, and vide transcript thence.'--MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 38ᵛ.

[1337] Aubrey notes opposite this: 'better this expression.'

[1338] Dupl. with 'designe.'

[1339] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 42. On fol. 41ᵛ Aubrey makes this apology for its coming there out of due order of time:--'Give notice how things are to be right placed, for all things comes not into my memory chronologically and this seemes almost necessary to be forced.'

[1340] Dupl. with 'way.'

[1341] Subst. for 'researching and contemplating one thing, then of another; but he had a method for it.'

[1346] Dupl. with 'great.'

[1347] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 7--'quaere bishop Sarum when he was motioned to be burnt.' _Ibid._, fol. 7ᵛ, 'Quaere bp. Sarum <Seth Ward> who and when (annum) the motion in parliament was to have Mr. Hobbes burnt.'

[1348] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 40.

[1349] Subst. for '1660. The winter before (of 1659) he spent his time in Derbyshire.'

[1358] Dupl. with 'facetiae.'

[1359] Dupl. with 'the witts.'

[1360] Aubrey wishes to limit the readiness in reply to cases of light badinage: in serious subjects Hobbes was slow and deliberate.

[1361] Dupl. with 'good.'

[1362] Dupl. with 'a present answer.'

[1363] Dupl. with 'mathematicall.'

[1364] i.e. see further about this on fol. 45ᵛ of the MS., the note found _infra_, p. 356.

[1365] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 42.

[1366] Subst. for 'he last left London, he was often in London at his lord's.'

[1388] Dupl. with 'hating him.'

[1389] Dupl. with 'prevented.'

[1390] '1674' is struck out and 1669/1670 substituted for it--this latter being the date of Wood's altercations with Dr. Fell. 1674 was the date of publication: see _infra_.

[1391] Anthony Wood struck out the passage enclosed in square brackets, and sent Aubrey a more elaborate account (now fol. 48, 48ᵛ of MS. Aubr. 9) to take its place. This is printed in Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, ii. 291, 292; and is perhaps the paper which Wood blames Aubrey for having kept, _ibid._ ii. 475, 476.

[1392] Aubrey added, in the margin, the correction 'A. W. sayes but ten.'

[1393] Dupl. with 'the absolute.'

[1394] Wood adds 'and after.'

[1395] Dupl. with 'his great griefe, expunged and inserted what he thought fitt.'

[1396] Corrected by Wood to '376, 377.' The mistake is made in Hobbes's printed epistle, and Aubrey copied it thence.

[1397] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 45.

[1398] Corrected by Wood to 'without the advice and quite contrary to the mind of the author.'

[1399] Corrected by Wood to 'know what he had done.'

[1400] Note on fol. 43ᵛ of MS. Aubr. 9. 'Page 15' in Aubrey's numbering is now fol. 45 of the MS.

[1401] Wood adds 'in the beginning of 1674.'

[1402] i.e. John Aubrey.

[1403] Wood adds 'and to let him see that he would do nothing underhand against him.'

[1404] Wood adds 'that he had sent to Mr. Wood.' See Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, ii. 288.

[1405] Wood adds 'at it as a most famous libell.'

[1406] Corrected by Wood to 'and, soon after, meeting with the author.'

[1407] Wood adds 'and that he would have the printer called to account for printing such a notorious libell.'

[1408] The advance-copies of Wood's _Hist. et Antiq. Univ. Oxon._ were issued July 17, 1674 (Wood's _Life and Times_, ii. 289); the ordinary issue took place on July 27 (_ibid._, 290), being perhaps delayed for the insertion of the rejoinder to Hobbes; Hobbes's epistle had been circulated on July 11 (_ibid._, p. 288).

[1409] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 46.

[1410] Aubrey inserts a copy as fol. 44 of MS. Aubr. 9.

[1447] MS. Aubr. 9, fol 45ᵛ.

[1448] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 46ᵛ.

[1449] As an alternative Aubrey suggests:--'As he had an harmonicall soule, so consequently he was no woman-hater (misogynist).' But he adds the criticism that this sentence is 'perhaps too affected.'

[1472] Here Aubrey intended (see _infra_) to cite evidence as to Hobbes's religious opinions.

[1473] Dupl. with 'give it the lye.'

[1474] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 47ᵛ.

[1534] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 50.

[1535] Anthony Wood objects, on fol. 47ᵛ: 'You say p. 11' (i.e. fol. 40) 'that he was acquainted with Mr. Selden and Dr. Harvey. Why do you not set them downe here?' But, as Wood might have remembered, they have been 'already mentioned.'

[1536] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 47ᵛ.

[1559] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 51.

[1560] Suggested by Aubrey as the date of the beginning of the intimacy between Hobbes and Petty. Anthony Wood objects in a note on fol. 50ᵛ:--'Dr. Petty was resident in Oxford 1648-49, and left it (if I am not mistaken) 1652.' Aubrey notes:--'Entred, vide p. 8ᵇ' (i.e. fol. 37ᵛ; _supra_, p. 336).
