This volume, annotated by Wotton, was lent by Chamberlayne to William Nicolson on 25 November 1704, see Clyve Jones and Geoffrey Holmes (eds.), The London Diaries of William Nicolson Bishop of Carlisle 1702-1718 (Oxford, 1985), 236. It was probably returned to Wotton, who may have sold the copy to Moses Williams, with whom he collaborated on Cyfreithjeu Hywel Dda ac eraill, seu leges Wallicae (Londini, 1730) [ESTC T63960]. On his death in 1727, Williams's books passed to the mathematician William Jones, whose library was left to the Earl of Macclesfield of Shirburn Castle, Oxfordshire.
