Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury receipt

A document, dated 8 October 1645, bearing the signature of the poet and philosopher Edward Lord Herbert of Cherbury, acknowledging receipt of his 'weeklie allowance' of £10 from Thomas ffauconberge [Fauconberg or Fauconbridge], Esq., Receiver General of the Public Revenue.
The receipt also contains the signatures of two witnesses, including Matth[ew] Clay. Although Herbert had been granted a weekly pension of £20 by Parliament the previous February the present receipt is for only half that amount, possibly on account of a warrant of 6 June cited in the receipt.

Of Knowledge and the Power Cognitive

'Of Knowledge and the Power Cognitive in G[ene]rall', Chapters I-XII (unfinished), possibly in the hand of Francis Herbert.
Mario Rossi in 'Alli fonti del materialismo a del deismo' (194[?4]) shows that this work is a redaction of a portion of 'Thomas Hobbes: De Corpore', 1655. Rossi holds that the redaction was made by Edward, first lord Herbert of Cherbury, probably between 1637 and 1640. If this is so, the manuscript gives us an early draft of a part of Hobbes's De Corpore.
