The handwriting is thatof Phineas throughout, but marginal referenceson the first few pages and a note at the end— The life of Commissioner Petts father whoseplace he did enjoy—have been added subse-quently by Samuel Pepys, no doubt when hewas making the transcript referred to below. The first paragraph is written on a separatesheet, which, unlike the rest, has no writingon the back, and is followed by a series of sub- 1612traction sums of the form 1570 giving the age ~42of Phineas for each year from 1612 to the differences apparent in the figuresand ink it is clear that these calculations weremade year by year from the time that Phineaswas forty-two until he reached the age of seventy
