page 2 note 1 ‘him’ written in above the line.

page 2 note 2 ‘good’ written in.

page 2 note 3 ‘eyther’ crossed out.

page 2 note 3 Faded word, difficult to read.

page 3 note 1 Blank in MS.

page 3 note 2 Possibly ‘word’.

page 3 note 3 ‘& he’ appears to be faintly crossed out. Perhaps Penry intended to write ‘& he helpeth’, and then found he had omitted ‘helpeth’, and so erased the other words.

page 4 note 1 May just possibly be ‘offence’—writing very small.

page 4 note 2 Punctuation may be exclamation mark after ‘What’, and question mark at the end.

page 5 note 1 ‘both the father’ crossed out.

page 6 note 1 Penry often uses ‘their’ for ‘there’.

page 6 note 2 Edge of page, may be ‘seem’.

page 6 note 3 A word, perhaps ‘namely’, is crossed out, and ‘Notwithstanding all this, yet’ written below.

page 6 note 5 Or ‘drunk’.

page 6 note 6 Did Penry intend to write ‘forsake’ ?

page 6 note 7 Sentence ends thus.

page 6 note 8 As MS. Seems irrelevant here, but perhaps intended for (3) on next page. See the next note.

page 6 note 9 No Scripture reference to 1, but no doubt Jer. v. 19. The purpose of the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 (no 3) is not clear.

page 7 note 1 Word undeciphered.

page 7 note 2 These two lines written in at the top of the page in Penry's looser hand.

page 7 note 3 ‘prosperity’ crossed out.

page 7 note 4 ‘the’ crossed out.

page 7 note 5 For ‘his ‘.

page 7 note 6 Margin : ‘Desperat’.

page 8 note 2 ‘put’ may be crossed out.

page 8 note 1 ‘wilbe’ seems to be crossed out, and another word, perhaps ‘tender’, follows.

page 8 note 2 ‘put’ may be crossed out.

page 9 note 1 Perhaps ‘buyled’ for ‘builded’ ; the annotations on Galatians are written in a very small hand.

page 9 note 1 Perhaps ‘buyled’ for ‘builded’ ; the annotations on Galatians are written in a very small hand.

page 9 note 2 MS. has comma after ‘not’.

page 10 note 1 Possibly ‘officers’.

page 10 note 3 = Assyria.

page 10 note 4 Reads ‘als’ ; probably ‘also’.

page 11 note 1 ‘full of” crossed out.

page 11 note 2 May be ‘oft’; otherwise word omitted after ‘of’.

page 11 note 3 Obviously some words omitted here, or after ‘frome him’.

page 11 note 4 Or ‘then’.

page 12 note 1 Penry seems to have written ‘wherof’, and then crossed out the first syllable.

page 12 note 2 Four, or possibly three, words written in above ‘long suffering’—‘he [ ? ] with men’.

page 12 note 3 ‘only’ crossed out after ‘power’.

page 12 note 4 ‘agaynst’ crossed out, ‘over’ substituted.

page 12 note 5 ‘over’ crossed out, ‘in’ substituted.

page 12 note 6 Or ‘bondes’.

page 13 note 1 Sentence left incomplete.

page 13 note 2 Margin, opposite this entry and one below (‘Rom. 2. 25’) are two crosses in ink (X). These were probably made in the preparation of the indictment.

page 13 note 3 Margin has ‘James’, maybe a reference to James i. 27.

page 13 note 4 ‘sheweth’ crossed out, ‘sayet[h] o f’ written in.

page 13 note 5 ‘that it is’ replaces a word crossed out.

page 13 note 2 Just possibly ‘workes’ and not ‘markes’.

page 13 note 5 ‘adeth’ crossed out.

page 14 note 6 ‘the’ crossed out.

page 14 note 7 ‘outw’ is written in above a caret, but it seems to be crossed out again.

page 14 note 8 ‘submitt our selves unto his’ crossed out.

page 14 note 9 May be ‘frame’ ; followed by ‘of building’ which is crossed out.
