<!-- NOTE ON DATES:
Dates recorded in @__-custom attributes reflect what was written, even if it was incorrect compared to external sources or inconsistent with other mentions in the Books.
Thornton did not consistently start the year on 1 Jan or 25 Mar ("Lady Day" dating); occasionally it's not possible to ascertain which year is intended.
Following usage in MoEML (https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/), this is encoded using @datingMethod
#JulianJan - year starts 1 January
#JulianMar - date is between 1 Jan and 24 Mar and year starts 25 March
#JulianSic - only used where date is 1 Jan-24 Mar and we don't know which year it is
NB year-only dates are assumed to be #JulianJan unless there's clear reason in context to do otherwise
in addition, Book 3 contains a number of dates written in the form 1668/9 (=1669).
#JulianSlash has been used to differentiate from other dates, but the @*-custom attribute is encoded as JulianJan, eg 1 Jan 1668/9 is encoded as 1669-01-01
** #JulianJan is treated as the default datingMethod so is not explicitly encoded
** Julian calendar is treated as the default @calendar, so is not explicitly encoded
** use @-custom attributes with -iso style formatting

<p> The anagram only works if George’s surname is spelt Wandisford, as it is in the acrostic below but not at the top of the page (see image). This may suggest that neither were authored by Thornton. It is possible the author was Christopher Wyvill, who wrote his funeral eulogy, see <hi rend="italic">Book 1</hi>, 114–15. </p>
