[46] MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 45ᵛ.
[47] This note comes after the note about W. Beeston (vol. i. p. 97),

to Aubrey by John Lacy.

[73] Aubrey always writes the word so, probably as a contraction for
'grandmother.'
[74] Subst. for 'this crowe.'
[75] i.e. he had a trick of using the expression 'now come we.'

[109] A step is missing here: cp. the preceding pedigree.

Litchfield, was son of Sir Francis Henry Lee (_m._ Elizabeth Pope),
younger brother of Sir Henry Lee (_m._ Anne Danvers).

19, etc. Martin remembered 'lame from his mother's womb' of Acts iii. 2.
[174] S. John ix. 18, 'He had been blind and received his sight,' seems
the nearest expression. The 'restored' is a figment of Martin's own, to
give point to his jest.

[1331] See Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, iii. 31, 310.
[1332] i.e. a note for Aubrey's 'Observations on Ovid's _Fasti_' (see
i. 44), a Lansdowne MS., since printed.
[1333] 'Apicati cincta.'
[1334] I do not know what MS. of his Aubrey is here thinking of
inserting Avebury in; possibly the lost 'Liber B.' MS. Aubr. 9, fol.
55ᵛ, is an envelope addressed 'for Dr. Blackburne with care,' and
has the notes '_Templa Druidum_,' 'or if _Druidum Templa rediviva_,'
apparently suggested titles for a treatise by Aubrey. MS. Aubr. 11 is a
treatise by Aubrey on Stonehenge.
[1335] In North Wilts.
[1336] i.e., perhaps, Mr. Lancelot Morehouse ascribed witchcraft to
demoniacal possession.
[1337] Alt. to 'in the young men.'
[1338] To introduce them into Aubrey's projected comedy _The Country
Revel_.
[1339] Henry, 5th earl, 1st marquess.
[1340] Edward, 4th earl.
[1341] Edward, 2nd marquess of Worcester; his son Henry was created
duke of Beaufort, Dec. 2, 1682.
[1342] i.e. 90 years before 1670, the date of this note.
[1343] North Wilts.
[1344] Aubrey no doubt cites text and note from Thomas Farnaby's
edition.
[1345] Ad quem in terrâ defixum foeminae se exercent tanquam tyrones
ut simulata pugna, feriendi, insiliendi, recedendi veram disciplinam
ediscant (Vegetius.)
[1346] See facsimile at end of this volume.
[1347] The heavy wooden roller with which the ground is rolled after
sowing, or when the corn sprouts in April and May.
[1348] _Sic_ in MS.
[1349] For a similar birth at Middleton-Stony, Oxfordshire, in 1552,
see Clark's Wood's _Life and Times_, iv. 64.
[1350] i.e. except the first and second stones, they are more or less
(plus, minus) about 4 feet high. The diagram gives Aubrey's measurement
of the circle: p. = paces.
[1351] i.e. measure exactly their height.
[1352] There is no indication of the person who saw the apparition.
Anthony Wood (_Life and Times_, ii. 4) reports an apparition which
appeared to Richard Lower in 1664.
[1353] Scil. of lying in that position.
[1354] See _supra_, i. p. 128.
[1355] The MS. from which this paragraph is taken was called by Aubrey
_Faber Fortunae_, was written for his own private use (_supra_, i. p.
44), containing a number of projects by which he hoped to make money.
This here is the fourth on the list.
[1356] Apparently the real name of the injured husband.
[1357] MS. Aubr. 21, pp. 8 sqq.
[1358] i.e. 'quatre fils d'Aymon' of the old romance.
[1359] Aubrey notes that this speech is 'an ἐκφώνησις.'
[1360] Dupl. with 'hilt.'
[1361] Dupl. with 'beare.'
[1362] Dupl. with 'cup of reconciliation.'
[1363] Aubrey writes in the margin, 'Looke, looke then, boy!'; perhaps
the first line or burden of an appropriate Bacchanalian song.
[1364] Subst. for 'the waytes.'
[1365] Dupl. with 'boding.'
[1366] Subst. for 'hornes.'
[1367] By a slip Aubrey, instead of writing _Sir Eubule_ here, writes
T. T., i.e. the initials of Thomas Tyndale, whom he intended to copy in
this character.
[1368] Dupl. with 'men.'
[1369] 'he' in MS., by a slip.
