tested it is correct in the main but I noted one or two mistakes—_e.g._: I., 5, 87.—MS.: Sudainely. G.: Speedily. II., 3, 58.—MS.: The graces from the Idalian greene [_sic_]. G.: The Loves and Graces. This would make the line scan. III., 2, 15.—MS.: If I compared it to an Indian slave’s. G.: with. V., 1, 158.—MS.: Have. G.: Had. V., 1, 292.—“To” in MS. begins line 293. The sort of mistake which we find in this MS. lends support to two hypotheses, between which, as far as I can see, there is nothing to decide; either, as we saw there was ground for supposing in _Believe as You List_, the author altered his diction as he composed, or he was dictating to an amanuensis. The earlier corrections are all made in the same ink. In favour of the former hypothesis are such passages as the following: I., 4, 84: “May you suc prosper.” “Succeed” was the original word, but cancelled for one which scans better. I., 5, 23: “Clarindore” cancelled at end of line, “Cleremond” substituted. Clarindore is mentioned in the next line. I., 5, 66: “Summer’s sunne”: “heate” substituted for “sunne.” II., 1. 81: “That” deleted after “assurance”; the line thereby runs more smoothly. II., 3, 5: “Thy selfe”: “selfe” deleted before “strengthe.” III., 2, 16: “That with incessant labour to searche out.” After “labour” “searche” is deleted. In other words, the construction is changed: the main verb being “dives” in the next line, instead of the original intention, “searches.” III., 3, 124: “Perform’d” deleted before “expir’d.” V., 1, 111: “In hell’s most uglie cullors.” “Horrid coullors” is deleted before the last two words. V., 1, 189: “Nor did I scorn”: “him” after “scorn” is deleted, as if the syntax had been changed. V., 1, 206: “Acknowledged” deleted before “appointed.” The sort of mistake that an amanuensis might make, either in copying or by dictation, occurs in: II., 2, 12: “The scorne darts of scorne”; first “scorne” deleted. II., 2, 111: After “Absolve me” “only can” deleted; it makes no sense, but had occurred in the previous line. II., 3, 16: “But never thought: come, I must have thee mine.” First three words deleted: they had occurred in the previous line. III., 1, 120: “Blanque” deleted before “blanket.” III., 3, 37: “A seeming courts”: “courts” deleted before “anger.” “Courtship” occurs at the end of the line. V., 1, 46: “Weake weake men”; first “weake” underlined in later ink.(570) V., 1, 190: “For truth is truth is truth.” All deleted. The sense requires: “for truth is truth.” V., 1, 505: “Neglegt” deleted before “neglect.” I add one or two notes of interest in correction of Cunningham’s edition. II., 2, 156 should read thus, as in MS.: “then to practise To find some means that he deserves thee best.”(571) C. reads in I., 157: “he that,” which makes no sense. At III., 3, 8 (folio 8_b_) there is a considerable blank in the MS. scrabbled over, but line 8 is completed at the top of folio 9_a_.
