ABSTRACT

Add. MS 4229, fols. 50–1. Endorsed by Wotton, sideways at top of fol. 50: ‘Dr Dents Letter concerning Mr Boyles Life’. Dent’s punctuation and paragraphing are eccentric: the breaks marked here by paragraphing are sometimes so denoted in the MS, sometimes indicated by dashes (which have not been reproduced). In addition, it is sometimes unclear whether or not Dent intended a capital letter at the beginning of a word. See above, pp. xl–xli.
