[Marginalia]
'At night fell to read in Hookers "Ecclesiastical policy" which Mr Moore did give me last Wednesday, very handsomely bound; and which I shall read with great pains and love for his sake.'
'So home to look on my new books that I have lately bought; and then to supper and to bed.' Pepys records the following in his diary the previous day (15 April): 'Thence I to my new bookseller's and there bought Hookers "Policy", the new edition, and Dugdale's history of the Inn's of Court, of which there was but a few saved out of the Fire - and Playford's new sketch-book, that hath a great many new fooleries in it.'
'Read some of Spencer in the morning, and learned it, then some of Hooker.'
