Footnotes
Provenance: First, Robert Wythe, early ownership inscription on title, seemingly in the same hand as the numerous marginal annotations. A possible candidate is Robert Wythe, of Droitwich, c.1523-86), a lawyer who represented Droitwich from its enfranchisement in 1554 to the end of the 1563 Parliament.
