APPENDIX IX. “THE PARLIAMENT OF LOVE” The MS. (No. 39 in the Dyce Collection, Victoria and Albert Museum) comprises nineteen leaves of the same size as those of _Believe as You List_. It has suffered much from damp, and is in a brittle, dilapidated state. In several passages the MS. has suffered since Gifford’s collation (_e.g._, II., 2, 15). The lacunae in the text—_e.g._, at I., 4, 55; I., 5, 7; and I., 5, 74—are all caused by the mutilation of the lower edge of the MS. The hand seems to be the same throughout, but bears no resemblance to that in which _Believe as You List_ is written, nor is it so easy to decipher. There are very few corrections in the text, and no marginal notes of any kind except the customary entrances and departures of the characters, which are duplicated as in _Believe as You List_, but in the same hand. The licence on folio 19_a_ has been cut off. On folio 19_b_ is written in a largish hand, _The Parliament of Love_, without any author’s name. Gifford believed that this MS. was in Massinger’s hand, and says “this has since been confirmed.” He does not say how. One thing is certain; the same hand did not write _The Parliament of Love_ and _Believe as You List_. One instance out of many can be give in proof of this: the letter C, small and capital, in _The Parliament of Love_ is constantly written thus, ⊕. A marked feature of the MS. is the doubling of consonants—_e.g._, tollerable, vallor, quallities, cullors. It looks as if, while it was in Gifford’s hands, ink had been used to restore letters here and there, and towards the end of the play there are several substitutions of words in a later ink.
