" 1617, p. 32: "Thinkes himselfe much
graced (as to be much beholding to them) as to be entertained among
gallants, that were wrapt up in sattin suites, cloakes lined with
velvet, that scorned to weare any other then beaver hats and gold bands,
rich swords and scarfes, silke stockings and gold fringed garters, or
russett bootes and _gilt spurres_; and so compleate cape ape, that he
almost dares take his corporal oath the worst of them is worth (at
least) a thousand a yeare, when heaven knows the best of them all for a
month, nay, sometimes a yeare together, have their pockets worse
furnished then Chandelors boxes, that have nothing but twopences, pence,
halfe pence, and leaden tokens in them."

[331] The following quotation from the "Perfuming of Tobacco, and the
great abuse committed in it," 1611, shows, in opposition to Mr
Gilchrist's conjecture, that _drinking_ tobacco did not mean extracting
the juice by chewing it, but refers to drawing and drinking the smoke of
it. "The smoke of tobacco (the which Dodoneus called rightly Henbane of
Peru) _drunke_ and _drawen_, by a pipe, filleth the membranes
(_meninges_) of the braine, and astonisheth and filleth many persons
with such joy and pleasure, and sweet losse of senses, that they can by
no means be without it." In fact, to _drink_ tobacco was only another
term for smoking it.--_Collier_.

[332] Alluding to the colour of the habits of servants.

[333] i.e., Owns. See note to "Cornelia" [v. 232].

[334] The omission of this stage direction, which is found in the old
copies, rendered what follows it unintelligible. Perhaps _Who list to
have a lubberly load_ is a line in some old ballad.--_Collier_.

[335] [Anthony Munday.]

[336] A custom still observed at weddings.

[337] _Himself_, omitted by Mr Reed, and restored now from the old copy
of 1611.--_Collier_.

[338] [Edits., _pugges_.]

[339] [Edits, read--

"They are _sovereigns_, cordials that preserve our lives."

[340] See Mr Steevens's note on "Othello," act ii. sc. 1. [But compare
Middleton's "Blurt, Master Constable," 1602 ("Works," by Dyce, i. 280).]

[341] [Edits., _his_. Even the passage is now obscure and
unsatisfactory.]

[342] [Separate.] This is obviously quoted from the marriage ceremony:
as Mr Todd has shown, the Dissenters in 1661 did not understand _depart_
in the sense of _separate_, which led to the alteration of the Liturgy,
"till death us _do part_." In the "Salisbury Manual" of 155
