[427] Second edit. _you_.
[428] So second edit. First edit. _weere_.
[429] [Old edits., _carerie_.]
[430] So second edit. First edit., _shrowdly_.
[431] Second edit., _me_--wrongly, as appears from what follows.
[432] Edits., _be_.
[433] i.e., Ill-will.
[434] i.e., Satisfy, convince.
[435] Edits., _mindes_.
[436] Qy., _you, mother_?
[437] Read, for the metre, _she is_.
[438] Something has dropt out here.
[439] [Edits., _A little_.]
[440] i.e., Vile.
[441] i.e., The one.
[442] [Old copies, _yond may help that come both together_.]
[443] So second edit. First edit., _fileds_.
[444] A common, familiar contraction of _mine uncle_.

[451] See also Collier's "Hist. of Eng. Dramatic Poetry," i. 3.
[452] See Dyce's "Shakespeare," 1868, ii. 2.
[453] Not in the old copy.
[454] [i.e., to Tyburn.]
[455] [Old copy, _thee_.]
[456] Old copy, _well a neere_. Well-a-year is an unusual phrase, _well_ being corrupted from _wail_. "Well-a-day" in the same sense is common enough.
[457] Old copy, _otimie_, I conjecture _otomy_ for anatomy, a common form of _anatomy_.
[458] Halliwell mentions the words _pubble_ and _puble_ in different senses, and the old copy reads puble; but here the context seems to require _bubble_. He has immediately before used the term _froth_.

[460] Divisions, conflicts.
[461] Old copy, _Henry_.
[462] Old copy, _Aveney_.
[463] But see Hazlitt's "Proverbs," 1869, p. 23.

[465] i.e., Mary, G.o.d's mother.
[466] See Hazlitt's "Proverbs," 1869, p. 289.
[467] Possibly in reference to a tract, so called, printed by Wynkyn de Worde, and (after him) by others.
[468] He means the stammer of Redcap, which he intends to imitate.
[469] Compare "Damon and Pithias," vol. iv., pp. 67-8.
[470] Old copy, _excepts_.
[471] He does not appear, however, to make himself visible, but stands aside, listening.
[472] Old copy, _times_. See Halliwell, v. _tine_, where the word is said to mean "the p.r.o.ng of a fork (second explanation)," thence, as in the text, a horn.
[473] [Old copy, _attempt_.]
[474] Block seems to refer jocularly to Sir Richard's long aside, under a sort of invisible cap.
[475] Old copy, _solicitie_.
[476] Old copy, _say_.
