P. 7, l. 9, being my ordinary marchandize, that I put out to venter for performance of my merry voyage.]--This "marchandize" was instead of a deposit in money: but we learn from a passage towards the end of the tract (p. 19), that our Morrice-dancer had also "put out some money to have threefold gain at his return,"--it being then a common custom for those who undertook expeditions to put out sums of money on condition of receiving them back trebled, quadrupled, or quintupled, at the completion of the voyages or journies. Kemp (_ibid._) complains that the greater number of those with whom he had deposited money would not "willingly be found:" compare _A Kicksey Winsey, or, A Lerry Come-twang; Wherein John Taylor hath Satyrically suted seuen hundred and fifty of his bad debtors, that will not pay him for his returne of his iourney from Scotland_. Taylor the Water-poet's _Workes_, 1630, p. 36. P. 7, l. 26, bels.]--"The number of bells round each leg of the morris-dancers amounted from twenty to forty. They had various appellations, as the fore-bell, the second bell, the treble, the tenor, the base, and the double-bell. Sometimes they used trebles only; but these refinements were of later times. The bells were occasionally jingled by the hands, or placed on the arms or wrists of the parties."--Douce's _Illust. of Shakespeare_, ii. 475. The same writer mentions that in the time of Henry the Eighth the Morris-dancers had "garters to which bells were attached," 473.

P. 8, l. 8, The hobby-horse quite forgotten.]--When the present tract was written, the Puritans, by their preachings and invectives, had succeeded in banishing this prominent personage from the Morris-dance, as an impious and pagan superstition. The expression in our text seems to have been almost proverbial; besides the well-known line cited in Shakespeare's _Hamlet_, Act iii. sc. 2, (and in his _Love's Labours Lost_, Act iii. sc. 1.) "For, O, for, O, the hobby-horse is forgot," parallel passages are to be found in various other early dramas. As the admirable scene in Sir Walter Scott's _Abbot_, I. ch. xiv. (_Wav. Novels_, xx.) must be familiar to every reader, a description of the hobby-horse is unnecessary. P. 8, l. 23, plash.]--pool. P. 10, l. 15, blee.]--complexion, countenance.
