[This entry which seems to refer to No. 21, would naturally be made on
the 18th of April, 1599, but in the _Diary_ it occurs at the end of a
confused sequence running March 25, 1598, November 16, 1599, August 9,
1598, September 18, 1602, September 19, 1602. Between it and the next
entry, undated but probably of February, 1601-2, leaves are missing or
mutilated. According to Dyce, whose information came from Collier, the
entry on p. 94 "is struck through, the money having been repaid." But
Collier does not record the payment of the xijᵈ in his edition of the
_Diary_; nor, according to p. 261, was Porter released from the "deate
of xxvˢ" or the "forfette of xˡⁱ."]
