P. 46, l. 28. This schypp for to make.] A marginal note informs us that “Noe schyp was in lenght ccc. cubytes, in brede ffyfty, and the heythe thretty: the flode 15. above hyest montayne.” P. 59, l. 16. Perhaps this line would be more properly printed thus:— “What is your wylle, Lord, fayn wold I wete.” P. 59, l. 30. The comaundment of thi Lord God.] It is almost unnecessary to remark that this and the following line are quite distinct from the stanza, and are intended as a translation of the Latin given above. P. 61, l. 1. Assumens.] Sic in MS. pro _assumes_. P. 61, l. 19. Sanctificet.] Sic in MS. pro _sanctificetur_. P. 62, l. 32. Makaberis.] Sic in MS. pro _mæchabaris_. P. 64, l. 6. Bos.] Sic in MS. pro _bovem_. P. 65, l. 13. For to dwelle.] Add a semicolon at the end of this line. P. 70. THE BARRENNESS OF ANNA.] This pageant is founded on the apochryphal gospel of the Birth of Mary. The same story is also found in the Protevangelion of James. P. 73, l. 27. Catando.] Sic in MS. pro _cantando_. P. 75, l. 10. Offens.] Place a colon after this word. P. 79. MARY IN THE TEMPLE.] This pageant is also founded on the apochryphal gospel of the Birth of Mary. P. 81, l. 22. Explexendo.] Sic in MS. pro _amplexendo_. P. 83, l. 28. For.] Perhaps _fere_. P. 84, l. 29. Dele the comma after the word “bretheryn.” P. 88, l. 13. In your name Maria.] Lydgate, in MS. Harl. 2255, fol. 141, has given three similar acrostics of the name of the blessed Virgin. P. 90, l. 1. Ab Ysakar.] Sic in MS. pro _Abysakar_. This pageant was privately printed by Mr. Collier, 12mo. Lond. 1836. The argument is taken from the apochryphal gospel of the Birth of Mary. Lydgate, in the fifth chapter of his Life of the Virgin, introduces the chief incidents here employed. P. 94, l. 29. So.] Perhaps _yow_. P. 94, l. 31 to p. 95, l. 22. This is added to the MS. in a more recent handwriting. P. 97, l. 20. Episcopus comyth, thens Joseph.] Owing to this line being inserted in the MS. as a stage direction, and the deficiency of the metre, it has been arranged erroneously. It should be as follows:— _Episcopus._ Comyth thens. _Joseph._ Sere, he may evyl go, &c. P. 99, l. 13. Foreschyth.] So in MS. for _floreschyth_. P. 101, l. 8. Sere, xalle ffulffyl.] The pronoun _I_ is probably omitted before the word _xalle_. P. 105. THE SALUTATION AND CONCEPTION.] Part of the argument of this pageant may be found in the apocryphal gospel of the Birth of Mary. The incident of the council of the Trinity is given in the _Speculum Vitæ Christi_, and in Lydgate’s Life of the Virgin. P. 105, l. 22. Babys.] Probably _balys_. P. 112, l. 16. This name Eva is turnyd Ave.] Compare MS. Harl. 2255, fol. 140, a poem in praise of the Virgin: Heyl sterre of Jacob, glorie of Israelle! Eva transfformyd the lettrys wel out sought; Into thy closet whan that Gabryelle With this wourd Ave hath the tydynges brought.
