[1215] i.e. for the etymology; _infra_, p. 324.
[1216] Aubrey's MS. is only a rough draft for Anthony Wood's perusal. Hence these queries.
[1217] For the pedigree supplied by William Aubrey, see _infra_, p. 388.

[1221] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 29ᵛ.
[1222] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 30.
[1223] Dupl. with 'vicar.' Anthony Wood wrote in the margin 'vicar of Malmsbury,' but scored it out, as in error.
[1224] Wood wished to add 'or Sir Rogers.'
[1225] Dupl. with 'did.'
[1226] Dupl. with 'valued not.'
[1227] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 29ᵛ.
[1228] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 30.
[1229] i.e. Thomas, the father.
[1230] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 31.
[1231] Dupl. with 'pasture.' In MS. Aubr. 3, fol. 28, Aubrey calls it 'a good moweing ground, called Gaston, not far from the house he <T. H.> was borne in.'
[1232] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 30ᵛ.
[1233] MS. Aubr. 9, fol. 31.
[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.

[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.'

[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.'

[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.

[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.

[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.'
[1342] Dupl. with 'proviso' or 'observation.'
[1343] _Infra_, p. 382.
[1344] Dupl. with 'such a poeme.'
[1345] Sir John Vaughan, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, 1668-1674.
[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.'

[1352] Dupl. with 'hearing.'
[1353] Dupl. with 'opportunity.'

[1357] Dupl. with 'enterteyned.'
[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.'

[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.

[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.'
