III.i.58 (362,3) This paltring/Becomes not Rome] That is, this trick of dissimulation, this shuffling. _Let these be no more believ'd That_ palter _with us in a double sense_. Macbeth. III.i.60 (362,4) laid falsly] _Falsly_ for _treacherously_. III.i.66 (362,5) Let them regard me, as I do not flatter, and/ Therein behold themselves] Let them look in the mirror which I hold up to them, a mirror which does not flatter, and see themselves. III.i.89 (363,6) minnows] a _minnow_ is one of the smallest river fish, called in some counties a _pink_. III.i.90 (364,6) 'Twas from the canon] Was contrary to the established role; it was a form of speech to which he has no right. III.i.98 (364,9) Then vail your ignorance] [W: "ignorance" means "impotence."] Hanmer's transposition deserves notice --_If they have power, Let them have cushions by you; if none, awake Your dang'rous lenity; if you are learned, Be not as commmon fools; if you are not, Then vail your ignorance. You are Plebeians_, &c. I neither think the transposition of one editor right, nor the interpretation of the other. The sense is plain enough without supposing _ignorance_ to have any remote or consequential sense. _If this man has power, let the_ ignorance _that gave it him_ vail _or bow down before him._ III.i.101 (365,1) You are Plebeians, If they be Senators: and they are no less, When, both your voices blended, the greatest taste Most palates theirs] These lines may, I think, be made more intelligible by a very slight correction. --_they no less [than senators] When, both your voices blended, the great'st taste_ Must palate _theirs._ When the _taste_ of the _great_, the patricians, must _palate_, must _please_ [or must _try_] that of the plebeians. III.i.124 (366,3) They would not thread the gates] That is, _pass_ them. We yet say, to _thread_ an alley. III.i.129 (366,4) could never be the native] [_Native_ for natural birth. WARBURTON.] _Native_ is here not natural birth, but _natural parent_, or _cause of birth_. But I would read _motive_, which, without any distortion of its meaning, suits the speaker's purpose. III.i.151 (367,7) That love the fundamental part of state/More than you doubt the change of't] To _doubt_ is to _fear_. The meaning is, You whose zeal predominates over your terrours; you who do not so much fear the danger of violent measures, as wish the good to which they are necessary, the preservation of the original constitution of our government. III.i.158 (368,2) Mangles true judgment] _Judgment_ is _judgment_ in its common sense, or the faculty by which right is distinguished from wrong. III.i.159 (368,3) that integrity which should become it] _Integrity_ is in this place _soundness_, uniformity, consistency, in the same sense as Dr. Warburton often uses it, when he mentions the _integrity_ of a metaphor. To _become_, is to _suit_, to _befit_. III.i.221 (370,5) are very poisonous] I read, _are very_ poisons.
