No profit to give the commentators' various guesses at the import of the phrase in the above passage, which will be best gathered from the following instances of its use elsewhere. But, before passing further, I beg permission to inform MR. KNIGHT that the original suggester of "sell" for "self," in an earlier part of this play, whose name {522} he is at a loss for, was W. S. Landor, whose footnote to vol. ii. p. 273., Moxon's edit. of his works, is as follows: "And here it may be permitted the editor to profit also by the manuscript, correcting in Shakespeare what is _absolute nonsense_ as now printed: '_Vaulting_ ambition that o'erleaps _itself_, And falls on the _other side_.' Other side of what? It should be _its sell_. _Sell_ is saddle in Spenser and elsewhere, from the Latin and Italian." A correspondent of "N. & Q."., Vol. vii., p. 404., will be delighted to find his very ingenious discovery brought home, and corroborated by Landor's valuable manuscript: but it is an old said saw--"Great wits jump." Now to our examples: "_Pasquin._ Saint Luke also affirmeth the same, saying flatly that he shall not be forgiuen. Beholde, therefore, how well they interprete the Scriptures. _Marforius._ I am alreadie _at a poynt_ with them, but thou shalt doo me great pleasure to expounde also vnto me certayne other places, vppon the which they ground this deceit."--_Pasquine in a Traunce_, turned but lately out of the Italian into this tongue by W. P.: London, 1584. "But look, where malice reigneth in men, there reason can take no place: and, therefore, I see by it, that you are all _at a point_ with me, that no reason or authority can persuade you to favour my name, who never meant evil to you, but both your commodity and profit."--Foxe's _Acts and Monuments_, vol. viii. p. 18. "Not so, my lord," said I, "for I am _at a full point_ with myself in that matter; and am right well able to prove both your transubstantiation with the real presence to be against the Scriptures and the ancient Fathers of the primitive Church."--_Id._, p. 587. "_Winchester._ No, surely, I am fully determined, and fully _at a point_ therein, howsoever my brethren do."--_Id._, p. 691. "_Brad._ Sir, so that you will define me your church, that under it you bring not in a false church, you shall not see but that we shall soon be _at a point_."--_Id._, vol. vii. p. 190. "_Latimer._ Truly, my lord, as for my part I require no respite, for I am _at a point_. You shall give me respite in vain; therefore, I pray you let me not trouble you to-morrow."--_Id._, p. 534.
