Note W — AUBREY'S 'BRIEF LIVES'

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.'
