Molesworth was admitted to Lincoln’s Inn in July 1675, but did not pursue his legal studies, returning instead to Ireland, where, in August 1676, he married Laetitia, sister of John Locke’s correspondent Richard Coote, later first Earl of Bellomont.
A further sphere in which Molesworth’s influence was felt in his final years was the University of Glasgow, which had strong connections with Ulster Presbyterianism through students who came for their final year of studies to qualify for the Glasgow degree.
Molesworth’s assistance was sought by the student body through Smith and Arbuckle, when the authorities decided to reduce their privileges and subject them, as they saw it, to a spiritual and intellectual tyranny.

 ROBERT MOLESWORTH
Molesworth was brought up in Ireland and on his mission to Denmark he was the representative of the both reviled and glorified King William - King Billy.
William and the English authorities found the Danes tiresome and untrustworthy, especially while they themselves were attempting to concentrate on the main business of saving Christendom by defeating the French.
Another problem was that parliament kept William short of money and with his estates in Ireland occupied, Molesworth had no private fortune to fall back on when William delayed his pay as he did to all his diplomats.

 [EMLS 6.3 (January, 2001)]: 3 The text and attribution of "Thou who dost"
It is possible to hypothesise situations in which Robert Molesworth might have chosen not to include it in his collection - for instance, because it was written to her husband - but those reasons make its continued survival, in the name of Molesworth or Mouldsworth, all the more improbable.
In the course of her life she married, and buried, three husbands, the last of them a goldsmith named Bevil Molesworth, and from her last widowhood dates the one surviving poem that can certainly be ascribed to her, the "Memorandum." This 110-line autobiographical meditation survives in a single manuscript copy.
In 1750, "Mrs Molesworth" is identified as Elizabeth Wellwood Molesworth, and two years later she is identified as Mary Molesworth Monk -- both women having died over a quarter of a century earlier, and both versions of the accompanying poem being corrupt in important respects.

 Hobbes Texts: Introduction
In the meantime, the main source is still William Molesworth, The English Works of Thomas Hobbes, 11 volumes; and Opera Latina, 5 volumes (London, 1839–45).
In general, Molesworth simply reprints the earliest printed version or manuscript that he was able to find, even when the text was obviously problematic (and standards of proof-reading were definitely lower in Hobbes’s time than they are now).
Nevertheless, Molesworth’s edition was pretty nearly complete, and (apart from some correspondence), most of the writings which have subsequently come to light are alternative versions of what he had included.

A translation first appeared in 1680, a year after Hobbes's death, in what was also the first English edition of Descartes's Meditations, prepared by the Irishman William Molyneux, later to be the admirer and friend of John Locke.
The translation reveals a lack of consistency and understanding of legal terminology which makes it most unlikely that Hobbes was personally responsible or even saw the translation before publication.
Further we have Hobbes's word in a letter to John Aubrey that William Crooke was the only person who could lawfully print his works, but the Rudiments was printed by J. for R. Royston.
