[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.'
