1) The original Oxfordian (i.e., Looney) believed that
Edward de Vere didn't write the final Folio version of _The Tempest_

The most brilliant Oxfordian (i.e., me) believes that Edward de Vere
didn't write the final Folio version of _The Tempest_
AND that his 1604 death was faked.

Were I a king I could command content ;
Were I obscure, unknown should be my cares;
And were I dead, no thoughts should me torment,
Nor words, nor wrongs, nor loves, nor hopes, nor fears.
A doubtful choice, of three things one to crave,
A kingdom, or a cottage, or a grave.

I have concluded that Oxford probably lived in hiding
until his actual death in 1612:
=2E.............................................................
1) Oxford certainly didn't die on St.John's day/Midsummer's Night.
=2E A death that went totally unnoticed & without a trace.
=2E
2) Oxford's widow didn't bother to write
=2E her Will until Nov. 25, 1612.
=2E
3) Lear's favorite daughter (Cordelia) was married
=2E so it would have been nice if Oxford had known
=2E that his favorite daughter (Susan) was married.
=2E
4) Once he had a male heir entering puberty Oxford probably
would have been much happier living a gay lifestyle in hiding,
while being allowed to work in peace on the rest of
his oeuvre (including, possibly, KJV & Don Quixote).
=2E
5) It would have been strange for Oxford to die
=2E just as Neville's five year payment ran out.
=2E The flurry of 1608/9 activity was to thank Neville
=2E for his patronage (& not because Oxford had died).
=2E
6) The Ashbourne painting & the Wellbeck painting
=2E are similar in many ways...including, possibly,
=2E having Oxford's TWO dates of death written in gold.
=2E
7) Oxford's swan song: _The Tempest_ (A COMEDY!)
=2E was performed in court on Nov. 1, 1611.
=2E
8) The 1612 MINERVA BRITANNA "MENTE VIDEBOR"
___________ anagram is clearly "DE VERE IN TOMB".
Presumably, the burial had to be soon after Oxford's actual death.

WHEN our friends began to think of going home, they looked about them
for their clergyman; but he had vanished, and was nowhere to be found.
.
'It is not polite in the man, who otherwise displayed
good breeding,' said Madam Melina, 'to desert a company
that welcomed him so kindly, without taking leave.'
'I have all the time been thinking,' said Laertes,
'where I can have seen this singular man before.
I fully intended to ask him about it at parting.'
'I too had the same feeling,' said Wilhelm, 'and certainly
I should not have let him go, till he had told us something
more about his circumstances. I am much mistaken
if I have not ere now spoken with him somewhere.'
'And you may in TRUTH,' said Philina, 'be mistaken there.
This person seems to have the air of an acquaintance,
because he looks like a man, and not like *JACK or KIT* '
'What is this?' said Laertes. 'Do not we two look like men?'
'I know what I am saying,? cried Philina;
'and if you cannot understand me, nEVER mind. In the end
my words will be found to require no commentary.'

Peter Bull's 14 letter *TIK-KITM-MARL-LOW*

to John Rollett's 15 letter discovery of

William Shakespeare which is broken into 4 pieces).

in its own right. Peter Bull's *TIK-KITM-MARL-LOW*

*KITM-MARL-LOW* probability ~ 1/760
----------------------------------------------------
Consider the "Bull Sonnets Acrostic Array" at Terry's site:
http://shakespeareauthorship.com/cipher/bmarlowe1.html
=2E
Use a 'String Find' to count (in first 12 columns):
=2E
=2E 4 K's
=2E 68 M's
=2E 41 L's
=2E
=2E This automatically gives:
=2E
=2E 4 x 68 "K-M" pairs and
=2E 68 x 41 "M-L" pairs
=2E
However, each "K**M" or "M**L" 4 LETTER string
must be separated by multiples of 3 rows & 3 columns
=2E
Hence, the [E]xpected [V]alue number of interesting
=2E "K**M" or "M**L" 4 LETTER strings
=2E in the Bull array
=2E
=2E "K**M" E.V.: ~ 4*68/(3*3) ~ 30
=2E "M**L" E.V.: ~ 67*41/(3*3) ~ 305
-------------------------------------------------
Now use 'String Find' {e.g., on "I T" & "T I"}
=2Eto count (for whole 14 lines):
=2E
50 "IT"s (left right pairs out of ~ 4000)
=2E8 "AR"s (left right pairs out of ~ 4000)
31 "OW"s (left right pairs out of ~ 4000)
=2E
=2E "IT" probability: 50/4000
=2E "AR" probability: 8/4000
=2E "OW" probability: 31/4000
--------------------------------------------
=2E Now applying the
=2E
"IT" prob: 50/4000 =3D 1/80
"AR" prob: 8/4000 =3D 1/500
=2E
=2E to the [E]xpected [V]alue of interesting
=2E "K**M" or "M**L" 4 LETTER strings
=2E
gives [E]xpected [V]alue of
=2E
=2E "KITM" E.V. =3D 30 / 80
=2E "MARL" E.V.=3D 305 / 500
=2E
Hence one would be lucky to expect ONE of each
(which presumeably is what Peter Bull found)
----------------------------------------------
However, one would NOT expect these
=2E two (expected) 4 LETTER strings:
"KITM" & "MARL" to share the SAME "M"!
=2E
=2E For these two strings to share the SAME "M"
=2E
"KITM-MARL" E.V.: 30*305/(80*500*68) ~ 1/297
------------------------------------------------------
The additional of "LOW" adds a little bit more to this:
--------------------------------------------------
Given the prior spacings in "KITM" & "MARL"
it would be reasonable to look for the "O"
=2E of the "OW" pair in one of 62 positions:
=2E
=2E [L]M T F T I I
=2E F A F T W I T
=2E S S S A W B A
=2E N I A A C G T
=2E A S A T T A I
=2E A V A W V[O]T
=2E A T M F A T A
=2E B T M W A N G
=2E W R A I A T I
=2E
Only one "[O]W" is found out of 62.
=2E
=2E How does this compare with and

=2E So the [E]xpected [V]alue of
=2E the final "OW" is ~0.39
=2E
"KITM-MARL-LOW" probability: 0.39/297 ~ 1/760

Peter Bull points out:
=2E
<<1 The beginning of the message is very clearly signposted. The
K forming the first letter of the message is the starting point of no
less than five regularly formed KITs, one of which appears in adjacent
squares and all of which are straight-line examples, with left to
right orientation and tight letter spacing. This KIT node is
'highly anomalous' in the grid. It is eye-catching. Its occurence
is highly unlikely to be the product of random forces.
=2E
2. The line of the message as it unfolds from the initial K
is also indicated because the KITM of the first section is
exactly superimposed on a seperate KIT line. This is a
signal of its intentionality. It is an anomaly compounded.>>

=2E So 4 of these 25 spaces produce
=2E the "I" for a "KIT" while 19 do not
=2E [; ignoring the "K" & "T"]
=2E
Compare this with the 50 "IT"s found in ~ 4000
=2E left right pairs in the "Bull array":

2-Tail : p-value =3D 0.00021257190299677967
-----------------------------------------------
Therefore there is only ~ 1/4700!! probability
=2E for this close clustering of 4 "KIT"s!
----------------------------------------------
Hence, the chance of "KITM-MARL-LOW"
=2E PLUS 4 close "KIT"s
=2E
=2E ~ 1/(760 x 4700) ~1/3,600,000!!!
