_Langley's Polidore Vergile._--At the back of the title of a copy of
Langley's _Abridgement of Polidore Vergile_, 8vo., Lond. 1546, seen by
Hearne in 1719, was the following MS. note:
"At Oxforde, the yere 1546, browt down to Seynbury by John Darbye,
pryse 14d. When I kept Mr. Letymer's shype I bout thys boke when the
Testament was obberagatyd that shepe herdys myght not red hit. I prey
God amende that blyndnes. Wryt by Robert Wyllyams, kepynge shepe uppon
Seynbury Hill."
At the end of the dedication to Sir Ant. Denny is also written:
"Robert Wyllyams Boke, bowgyt by John Darby at Oesforth, and brot to
Seynbury."
The Seynbury here mentioned was doubtless Saintbury in Gloucestershire, on
the borders of Worcestershire, near Chipping Campden, and about four miles
distant from Evesham.
