page. However, he does abandon this practice on page 324 where Jewel
writes upside down at the top of the page, and then, having run out of
room on page 324, adds an additional line of thought on page 325.
Nothing else appears on page 325, and it is the last he writes in the
volume, apparently switching from this approach to one using
notebooks, though the sporadic and irregular way he did this marginalia
reveals either disorganization, or else the attempt to make some final
notes.
The Parker Society Edition of Jewel’s works indicate, by the use of
tiny hands, the beginning and end of the various additions that Jewel
made to the later edition of The Defence of the Apology. Only on page
264 of the Parker Society Edition did the editor, Ayre, fail to note where
Jewel had made an insertion, and this is revealed from this marginalia.
The marginalia correspond almost verbatim to what Jewel had written
by hand. Why Jewel chose to use this copy as he did, and only on these
pages for this operation cannot be discerned from the present evidence.
He had other places where he wrote out the other additions he made,
and wherever Jewel made further editions, they are marked in this copy
of the 1567 edition by ‘AAA’ in the margins, with a corresponding ‘AAA’
at the insertion point in the body of the text. The quotes and additions
were then made from the notebooks. On verso pages (the even
numbered), beginning with the verso of the previous folio, where there
is more than one addition made, Jewel used ‘BBB’. No marks or
indications are present that tell us anything about the notebooks from
which the additions were taken; it is probably that all such heuristic
matters were themselves contained in the notebooks.
Jewel could have produced more, it seems, had he had the time. At
least four works were in some stage of manuscript form, but never
published, and are now lost: A paraphrastical exposition of the epistles
and gospel throughout the whole year(apparently sermons and notes on
the lectionary), A continuate exposition on the creed, the Lord’s prayer,
and the ten commandments,Commentary on the epistle to the Galatians
and Commentary on the epistles of St. Peter. Jewel’s first literary
executor, John Garbrand, who had been a minister in Buckinghamshire,
but whose father was a noted Oxford printer, published all of Jewel’s
posthumous works, though essentially they were all collections of
sermons. Yet we know from Jewel’s letters that he had other things that
he was thinking about, most notably some thoughts on ubiquitarianism
which he hoped to publish, but even while he wrote this to Simler, he
found himself distracted by the 1563 Parliament.^60 Certainly these would
have given a better picture of Jewel than his massive florilegia of patristic
