English drama -- Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600; Interludes, English; Moralities, English
pervert _your_ conditions" (14,_b_), _þer_ in MS.: F suggests
for _þi_; M reads your; B suggests _your_--"all their _means_"
(14,_b_), _nnenys_ in MS.--"_intermise_ yourself not" (14,_c_),
scratched through in MS. and "_intro-mytt_" written over in
another hand--"of the _cunning that I can_" (15,_a_), _co[=m]ynge
... kam_ in MS.--"It is written, etc." (16,_a_), this song is
omitted by Manly (_see_ Holyke, _ante_) but given by F and B, the
latter in _Quellen_, pp. 50-51, not page 61 as erroneously given
by the Early English Text editors--"if he will have _compos[t]_"
(17,_c_), _compasse_ in MS.: F corrects to _compass[t]e_; M to
_compost_; B to _composte_--"By Cock's body sacred" (18,_b_),
F queries this as being _sakyide_ in MS.--"By the _aid_ of His
grace" (18,_b_), _syde_ in MS.: F suggests _ayde_ and says "MS.
fs crost there before _syde_ ... see line 400" [With the help,
&c., 19,_a_]--"_Nec in_ hasta" (18,_c_), _hastu_ in MS.: F refers
to "Non in gladio, nec in hasta.... 1 Reg. xvii. 47"--"Alack,
alack!" (19,_d_), F says (this commences leaf 127 back), "In
another hand, at top, 'Honorabyll well belouyd frende, I hertely
Recummend me on-to you'"--"Yea, _Christ's cross_" (20,_b_),
_Crastes_ in MS.: M suggests _Christ's curse_, comparing it
with "Christ's copped curse" (36,_a_)--"There! we're on anon"
(20,_b_), I may have been misled, though the MS. is by no means
clear: "Ther, wher, on & on," which _might_ be interpreted,
"There, ware! on anon! Out! ye shall not," etc., or "There! we're
one and [_i.e._ to] one. Out! ye shall not," etc.--"Know ye any
_aught_" (20,_c_), _out_ in MS.: F and B read _ou[gh]t_--"with a
_flowte_" (20,_d_), _flewte_ in MS.: M queries it for _flowte_,
which I have adopted--"Else _there_ shall" (20,_d_)? _þei_ in
MS. (F)--"he is a _worshipful_ man" (21,_a_), _worschyppull_ in
MS.--"nor pence _nor_ two pence" (21,_b_), _of_ in MS.; F, M,
and B read _or_--"Ye say _us_ ill" (21,_b_), _as_ in MS.--"The
devil have [_thee_]" (22,_a_), suggested by M--"_that be_
sought" (22,_c_), so in MS.: F and B read _that [yt] be_; though
elliptical the passage reads = that which is to be: my "pointing"
varies from other authorities--"Mischief _hat[h]_ informed
[_me_]" (22,_d_), _hat_ in MS.: [_me_] suggested by F--"Take
_W[illiam]_ Fide" (22,_d_), suggested by F: M reads _w[ith
yow]_, and B _w[yth yow]_--"begin at _m[aster]_ Huntington"
(23,_a_), supplied by M--"Huntington of Sanston ... Hammond of
Swaffham" (23,_a_ and _b_), see E.E.T.S edition--"_see_ well
where and whither" (23,_b_), _be_ in MS.--"Let us _con_ well
our neck-verse" (23,_c_), _com_ in MS.--"I bless you with my
_left_ hand" (23,_c_), _right_ struck out in MS.--"enter, I hope,
_unreadily_" (24,_a_), so in M: _ouer redyly_ in MS.--"grace
were _wane_" (24,_b_), "_cran_ (?) written after 'wane' in
