Candish by Edward Hilton.
June 28th, I payd Mr. Hudson for all his corn, and also for the wood
tyll May, receyved synce I cam home.
[Footnote ff: There are a great many brief notices in this
diary relative to Jane Dee, most of which are expressed in
astrological symbols; and as they are exceedingly difficult to
decipher satisfactorily, and are certainly of very little, if
any importance, I have thought it expedient to omit them. The
entry of "Vnar unq gurz" is also of frequent occurrence, though
what "gurz" can refer to I have not been able to discover.]
[Transcriber's Note:
See diary entries for June 17th, 1587, and February 28th, 1588.]
[Footnote gg: Dee has preserved several interesting notices
of his intimacies with the principal navigators of his time.
A general reference to Hackluyt will be sufficient.]
