[W] Anthony Wood has written at the top of fol. 96 of the MS., 'see in Trin. Coll.'; i.e. in his own Hist. et Antiq. Univ. Oxon. (1674), lib. II. pag. 296. Also, on a slip attached here, Wood notes:—
'Mr. Isaac of Exeter hath told me that Richard Martin, recorder of London, was son of Richard Martin, merchant, of Exeter: see G. 1. So this last Richard Martin, borne in Somerset, cannot be he; and he that was borne in Devonshire
(lib. matric. P, p. 496 <Broadgates Hall>;—Dec. 10, 1585, Rich. Martin, Devon., generosae conditionis filius, aet. 15)
is too soone.'
For the reference 'G. 1.' see Clark's Wood's Life and Times, iv. 232, 233; and for 'lib. Matric. P,' see ibid., 136.
[X] An echo of a symposium in which this Richard Martin and other 'jolly companions' took part lingers in a copy of Macaronic verses by John Hoskyns (see i. 416). I give them here from the copy on fol. 185v of an old common-place book in Lincoln College Library. Falconer Madan, Esq., Fellow of Brasenose, has another old copy, with an English version, which by his kindness I am able to add. The title of it in the Lincoln MS. is—
'Convivium philosophicum: tentum in clauso Termini Sti. Michaëlis in crastino[181] festi Sti. Egidii in campis, authore Rodolpho Calsabro, Aeneacensi.'
But in Mr. Madan's MS. it is headed,
'Mr. Hoskins, his Convivium Philosophicum,'
