18 April

Tuesday 18th. Chapel. Lecture, as usual, at eleven. This

is every day except Thursday. ####################

###########. I received today the

account of my College dues, which amount to: First or Mich.

Term (when I entered) 7.^£ 15.^s. 0^d.;- then to Christmas, 7.^£. 15.^s. 1^d; then to

Lady day, ^£.7. 12.^s.1.^d = 23.^£. 2.^s. 2.^d. From this is to be deducted

5 £. the first quarter of the Exhibition allowed me by D^r. Macbride.

The remainder, 18.^£ 2. 2. (having borrowed 20£. of D^r Bliss) I

immediately paid into the hands of the Principal. I learn

from him, that my not keeping my terms regularly will not

at all increase the expense, for that after the 16. terms

are paid for, I may continue to reside free of all dues

except my battels, which of course I am answerable for.

I went with Dr Bliss & Mr Rigaud, _^^Savilian Prof. Germ^y at one oC.

to

look over a quantity of old books – which were to be #####^sold per pound.

I could pick out nothing except the 3 first vols. of Rabelais,

which now completes my set. I afterwards accompanied Mr

Rigaud to Exeter College library, & examined their books & MSS.

In the latter they have nothing beyond a few of the Schoolmen,

& a #####^{Book of Hours} which belonged to #######^Elizabeth, wife of Hen. 7. and

afterwards to Catharine of Arragon, both of whose autographs

it contains._^^{(See p. 444)} The remainder of the day I spent in the Bodln.
