Note: The entry preceding this is also numbered 228, itself changed from 227. There was obviously a great deal of alteration in the numbering done in this section. See also below, where the original number appears to have been erased

Entry: 229a
Date: 30 May, early 1670s
Note: This entry was originally no. 229, but the writing in red pencil was subsequently erased, and the following entry made into no. 229. We have therefore numbered this entry 229a, even though it formally precedes 229 proper

Note: The entry is crossed out from the beginning to 'and deepen'd by the mixture', and then again from 'and though upon the action' to the end. In addition, vertical brackets are written around the phrase 'but not so much as if oil of Turpentine had been used in tis steede', making it the only section of the entry not crossed out

Date: 7 February, early 1670s
Note: It is not certain that the next section of entries, numbers 281 to 300, originally formed part of the same group as the preceding set of entries. The entries start, in a completely new hand, three-quarters of the way down the page on p. 245. The numeration does continue from the preceding series (except that 281 is repeated in the first one), but it is clear that entries 281-94 were originally numbered 1-14 in ink, with the preceding digits '28' and '29' added later in pencil
