It will be readily seen that these variations are chiefly in the spelling, and of a trivial character. The only ones of any importance are, on p. 151, _lyste_ (which is a misprint) for _lyft_, and _trassene_ for _transsene_ (cp. Fr. _transon_, a truncheon, peece of, Cot.); on p. 152, _goot_ for _good_ is well worth notice (if any meaning can be assigned to _goot_), as the direction to beware of _good_ strawberries is not obvious; on p. 153, we should note _lesynge_ for _lessynge_, and _hange_ for _ren_, the latter being an improvement, though _ren_ makes sense, as basins hung by cords on a perch may, like curtains hung on a rod, be said to _run_ on it. The word _ren_ was probably caught up from the line above it in reprinting. The following corrections are also worth making, and are made on the authority of the first edition:-- P. 155, l. 10, _For_ treachour _read_ trenchour. l. 23. _For_ so _read_ se. l. 24. _For_ se’ _read_ se. P. 156, l. 1. _ony_] on A. l. 7. _For_ it _read_ is. l. 15. _y^e so_] and soo A. (_No doubt owing to confusion between & and_ y^e.) l. 16. _your_] you A. l. 29. _For_ bo _read_ be. P. 157, l. 20. _For_ wich _read_ with. P. 158, l. 3. _For_ fumosytces _read_ fumosytees. l. 7. _For_ pygous _read_ pynyons (whence it appears that the _pinion_-bones, not _pigeon’s_-bones, are meant). l. 25. The word “reyfe” is quite plain. P. 160, ll. 18, &c. There is some variation here; the first edition has, after the word _souerayne_, the following:--“laye trenchours before hym / yf he be a grete estate, lay fyue trenchours / & he be of a lower degre, foure trenchours / & of an other degre, thre trenchours,” &c. This is better; the second edition is clearly wrong about _five_ trenchers. This seems another error made in reprinting, the words _lower degre_ being wrongly repeated. P. 161, l. 6. It may be proper to note the first edition also has _broche_. P. 165, l. 8. _For_ for y^e _read_ for they. P. 165, l. 27. _the[y]_; _in_ A they _is printed in full._ P. 166, l. 18. _For_ raysyus _read_ raysyns. P. 167, l. 21. _For_ slytee _read_ slytte. P. 169, ll. 10, 18. _carpentes_] carpettes A. l. 14. _shall_] shake A. l. 23. _blanked_] blanket A. Nearly all the above corrections have already been made in the side-notes. Only two of them are of any importance, viz. the substitution of _pynyons_ on p. 158, and the variation of reading on p. 160; in the latter case perhaps neither edition seems quite right, though the first edition is quite intelligible. In our Cambridge edition (see p. 170, l. 5) this line about the pope is carefully struck out, and the grim side-note put “_lower down_”, with tags to show to what estate he and the cardinal and bishops ought to be degraded!
