ssion of _clouted brogues_, which Mr. Steevens explains to be "shoes strengthened with _clout_ or _hob-nails_." 63, line 9, "_dragon that pursued the woman._" Evidently an allusion to _Revelations_, xii. 15. 91, note 8, line 15, for _Styla_ read _Hyla_ in both instances. 92, note 10, line 5, for _Leiden_ read _Leyden_. 117, line 3, "Their humanity is a _leg to the residencer_." A _leg_ here signifies a _bow_. Decker says, "a jewe neuer weares his cap threedbare with putting it off; neuer bends i' th' hammes with _casting away a leg_, &c." _Guls Hornebooke._ p. 11. 182, note 1, for _spunge_ read _sponge_. 208, line 4, for _spera_ read _spero_. ib. line 30, for _conjesta_ read _congesta_. ib. line 31, for _susuperavit_ read _superavit_. 231, line 11, for _Jude_ read _Inde_: for _ferucat_ read _ferueat_. 245, line 7, for _whosc_ read _whose_.

These were occasioned by the editor's distance from the press, and he requests the gentle reader to pardon and correct them. [Transcriber's note: Despite a valiant effort to the contrary some additional transcription errors may have slipped through during the preparation of this e-text. We can't blame the distance between the editor and the press. Please forward any corrections to Project Gutenberg errata.] The _Inscription_, No. x. of the _Appendix_, should have been entirely omitted. The following extract from Guillim's _Heraldry_, shews that Bishop Earle could not have been connected with the Streglethorp family, since, if he had, there would have been no occasion for a new grant of armorial bearings. "He beareth _ermine_, on a chief indented sable, three eastern crowns or, by the name of _Earles_. This coat was granted by _Sir Edward Walker_, garter, the 1st of August, 1660, to the Reverend Dr. _John Earles_, son of _Thomas Earles_, gent, sometime Register of the Archbishop's Court at York. He was Dean of _Westminster_, and Clerk of the Closet to his Majesty King _Charles_ the Second; and in the year 1663, made Bishop of _Salisbury_." Guillim's _Heraldry_, folio. Lond. 1724. p. 282. It is almost unnecessary to add that I was not aware of this grant, when I compiled the short account of Earle, at page 186, and spoke of
