Dee, John, 1527-1608

"The Private Diary of Dr. John Dee And the Catalog of His Library of Manuscripts"

March 22nd, Mr. Talbot went to London, to take his jornay.
[Footnote v: Just above this relation some one has written,
"you that rede this underwritten assure yourselfe that yt is
a shamfull lye, for Talbot neither studied for any such thinge
nor shewed himselfe dishonest in any thinge." Dr. Dee has thus
commented upon it:-- "This is Mr. Talbot or that lerned man, his
own writing in my boke, very unduely as he cam by it." There are
several other notices of Talbot erased, but whether by him or
by the Doctor it is impossible to say, but most probably the
former.]
April 16th, Nurse Garet had her 6_s._ for her month ending on the
20th day. April 22nd, a goodly showr of rayn this morning early.
May 4th, Mr. Talbot went. May 13th, Jane rod to Cheyham. May 15th,
nocte circa nonam cometa apparuit in septentrione versus occidentem
aliquantulum; cauda versus astrum tendente valde magna, et stella
ipsa vix sex gradus super horizontem. May 20th, Robertus Gardinerus
Salopiensis l?tum mihi attulit nuncium de materia lapidis, divinitus
sibi revelatus de qua.... May 23rd, Robert Gardener declared unto me
hora 4? a certeyn great philosophicall secret, as he had termed it,
of a spirituall creatuer, and was this day willed to come to me and
declare it, which was solemnly done, and with common prayer. May
28th, Mr. Eton of London cam with his son-in-law Mr. Edward Bragden,
as concerning Upton parsonage, to have me to resign or let it unto
his said son-in-law, whom I promised to let understand whenever
myself wold consent to forego it.
