Note 1 — LECTURE VI.
Reading edition
‒ The inscription, as given by Selden, and copied by Tovey, is very unlike Hebrew. Dr. Jost’s improvement is ingenious; but according to his reading, the imprisonment took place in November, whilst Stow and Prynne state that May was the month. I propose therefore the above reading as the most likely to be correct: one could easily mistake י for ו, especially when scratched on a wall.
