Not illustrated.1878 Excerpt: ... 305 NOTES. P. 4 1. 8. It is evident that Wood was quoting from an inaccurate copy of the passage, for neither the beginning of the epistle to the reader, nor the note at the end, agrees with either of the copies in New College Library. That with the pressmark 311 A begins: It is an old true saide saying. The copy numbered 311 B begins as follows: It is an old true said sawe, corrected into, It is an old and true saing. In the note at the end they both agree in reading leaves for lines, and the insertion of the Christian name Nicholas; but 311 B omits the surname of the servant Carter, and in this respect agrees, as 311 A does not, with Wood's account.

Here again the words of Wood are not an exact copy, and probably were not intended jto be exact. For, whereas the words as copied from the Eyston copy agree precisely with those in 311 A, it is plain, from the use of the word benefit for beautify, that the copy seen by Antony Wood must have been 311B and not 311 A, though Wood's words materially differ in other respects from both copies. Mr. Eyston's references in the next line of page 4 and in subsequent pages arc, of course, to the first edition of the Athena Oxonienses, the only one published at the date of his writing, A.D. 1707.
