[45] Some seven or eight years ago I pointed out in _Notes and Queries_

afterwards learned--had anticipated my discovery.
[46] This and the following speech are marked for omission in the MS.
[47] The words "Not so, frend," are scored through.
[48] The words "_Frenshe_ monster" are scored through.
[49] "Makarel" = maquerelle (a bawd).
[50] This passage illustrates 2 _Henry IV_., iv. 2:--"This Doll
Tearsheet should be some _road_." See my note on Middleton's _Your Five

[51] Small boats with narrow sterns (Fr. pinque). Cf. Heywood's _I
Edward IV_.:--"Commend me to blacke _Luce_, bouncing _Bess_, and lusty

and pinnace, flibote and carvel, _Turnbull_ and _Spittal_"

[61] This speech is scored through.
[62] The reading of the MS. is not clear.
[63] Again I am doubtful about the reading of the MS.
[64] "A shewer" = ashore.
[65] Some letters are cut away in the MS. Perhaps Mildew was represented
with _Judas-coloured_ (i.e. red) hair; but Raphael presently describes
him as "graye and hoary," and afterwards we are told that he was bald.
[66] Search, probe.
[67] The stage-direction is not marked in the MS.
[68] Track by the scent.
[69] There is no stage-direction in the old copy.
[70] This and the next three lines are marked for omission.
[71] In this soliloquy Heywood closely follows Plautus: see _Rudens_,
i. 3, "Hanccine ego partem capio ob pietatem praecipuam," &c.
